33 weeks and pregnancy brain

How far along? 33 weeks

 

Total weight gain: Not sure, up 22 but haven't checked again... We'll see next week at my next appt.

Maternity clothes?:  For sure.

Sleep:  Sleeping great, actually I slept from 8:30 pm to 6:15 am last night.  It was amazing... I mean, I still got up 2-3 times to pee, but I slept great!

Cravings:  Still pop for some odd reason.

Best moment this week: All of the moving he's doing. I have no clue what he's doing in there but holy cow!  I wish I could see him and see what he was doing.

Movement: LOTS!

Gender: Blue!!!!

Labor Signs: Nope.  Does everyone feel Braxton Hicks Contractions?

Belly Button in or out? Still in, and hoping it stays that way!

What I miss: eh same ol same ol..... mostly my other clothes.

 

Weekly Wisdom:  None this week... sorry


Ok, so I'll have to post a 33 week picture later....... On to that pregnancy brain stuff. Does everyone forget things while they are pregnant?  I swear, I've definitely been losing brain cells!  I forget everything! We had some work done on our car by a family friend and I typically send a check in the mail that next day.... Well today it's been 4 weeks and I just sent it out because I completely forgot!  I forget to do things at my internship unless I write them down.  Its a miracle I remember to go to my internship! 


Did I tell you we're moving?  I mean like moving about 2 weeks after baby boy will hopefully make his appearance?  I know my last day of being pregnant will definitely be Dec. 23rd, but I'm hoping he comes on or before his due date of Dec. 16th.... Wishful thinking, huh??


It'll be a crazy December, that's for darn sure! 


Have a great weekend everyone!!

32 Weeks

We're into the 8th month ladies!!  I cannot believe it! Only 8 weeks until the Little mister arrives!  I CAN.NOT.WAIT!

How far along? 32 weeks

 

Total weight gain: Up another 2 at my doctors appt. So we're at 22.....

Maternity clothes?:  Ha, definitely!

Sleep:  I'm still sleeping pretty good, no issues there

Cravings:  Pop.  Like Coke, it sounds delicious! It's the weirdest thing! 

Best moment this week: Hearing his heartbeat again.  I LOVE IT!  I also love seeing his little feet and other body parts stick out.

Movement: LOTS!

Gender: Blue!!!!

Labor Signs: Nope.  Does everyone feel Braxton Hicks Contractions?

Belly Button in or out? Still in, and hoping it stays that way!

What I miss: Margarita's and my pre-pregnancy jeans...

Weekly Wisdom:  Enjoy every moment!  Somedays it hurts getting kicked in the ribs, but then as soon as I don't feel him moving around, I get nervous.  So I'd much rather be uncomfortable and feel him moving around than more comfortable and not feel him at all!

Favorite Moments: We've had both of our showers and the room is coming together.  We're going to be moving about  a month after his birth, so we aren't really decorating at all... It just wouldn't be worth it.

Silent Sundays

 

Yikes!

I can't believe it's been 10 days since my last post!  Life has just totally taken over!  It's been crazy.  First, I'd like to thank all of you that sent your prayers our way for hubbys interview!  HE GOT THE JOB! :-) We get to move back to my hometown anytime between Dec. 1st and mid Jan.... So, it kind of throws a bit of a curve ball into the mix with the Little Mister being due on Dec. 16th.  We're not sure how to proceed, but when we find out a for sure date, I guess we'll go from there.  I'm so proud of my hubby!  I knew he'd get it, but it's just so nice having the actual paperwork!

I only have 7.5 days left of my internship and I could not be more excited!  I'll be finished on November 9th if all goes well and then it's pack pack pack (if I'm still up for it).  We're trying to send a few things back here and there to go to my parents house so that we don't have as much to move, but it's difficult.  Everything will come together though, I know it will.

I'm officially into the 8th month of pregnancy as of Oct. 21st!  32 weeks, it's so hard to believe!  We have, at most 8-9 weeks to go until we finally get to meet the little guy!  I'll post my 32 week update later today.

For now, I have beef stew in the crockpot for dinner and I'm heading to the kitchen to bake some pumpkin muffins! :-) I love fall days.  Have a great lazy Sunday everyone!

Update on Pump issue

Thanks to those of you who gave me recommendations!  Apparently the Medela won over everyone! :-)  I actually inquired with insurance and they will give us money towards the purchase of the Medela double pump, as long as we get it from an in-network provider.  Well, I found a provider and the price will be less than I can get it at Target, plus if we do have to pay any out of pocket, it will go towards our deductible!  So thanks again ladies!  I love saving money!!

Pump Recommendations

I've been trying to decide on a breast pump to buy, but I have no idea which one to go with.  So far I've looked at the:

Avent - ISIS iQ Duo Electric Breast Pump, BPA Free

&

Medela Pump In Style Breast Pump 

 They are both a bit pricey, but I like the features for the most part.  Still, I have no idea which one is better or if there is an even better pump for the money out there.  Do you have any recommendations or suggestions!?!?!  I am so lost!

Thanks!

30 weeks 5 days

Ok, so I'm behind again..... Sorry!! I had my 30 week appt last week and here are the stats from that:

Weight: 20 lbs...... Yuck, I am so not excited about this, but again I suppose it is not THAT bad.
Glucose test: Passed will flying colors!
Baby Boy: Strong heartbeat at 155. He kept kicking the doppler and you could hear it! His heartrate would then go up because he was getting all that exercise, it was so funny.

Lately: Movement has been crazy! I can tell he's got less room in there, because he's moving all the time! Sometimes, it gets uncomfortable, but I'm ok with that because at least I know he's ok in there.

We had two baby showers and they were both amazing! We got so many useful things, we are definitely blessed. The baby room is so unorganized, but I should be able to take a crack at it this weekend and hopefully get some things put away. We'll see!

Hubby had the flu on Sunday, so I'm praying I don't get it. O, also, hubby has an interview on Monday in the city we're hoping to move to, so say a prayer or do whatever you do and send it our way :-) If you wouldn't mind!

Here's my "30 week" picture, but really it's 30 weeks and 5 days.
