Bumpdate- 32 weeks



Image

32 weeks: Your baby weighs as much as a large jicama -- about 4 pounds. (Length: about 17 inches, head to heel.)

Maternity Clothes Maternity clothes and maxi dresses are my favorite right now. Recommendations on nursing pajamas? Any recommendations?

Stretch Marks
I noticed last week, that I have a few lines where my I did my insulin shots in my stomach.... So I am now using Bio Oil in the mornings and Palmer's at night!

Movement
Still moving and becoming more accurate, I feel like I know when she is going to move, she must have somewhat of a sleep schedule already, interesting to see once she arrives, how that works out haha!

Food cravings
Still enjoying fruit and I am also enjoying some Popsicles!

Nausea, vomiting, or sickness
None. I'm SO grateful that i have not had any sickness and was not sick during the first trimester either!

What I miss:
I have not had any soda, I have tried not to take any medication at all, I have taken 1 Tylenol this entire pregnancy, but I am really missing my Diet Soda, I am craving and Diet Pepsi or Diet Mt Dew, I am looking forward to that treat come November :)

Gender:
We are having a GIRL! :)

Best moment this week:
 I had a wonderful baby shower with all my family and friends, again I am going to have about 4 blog posts of baby showers and also other life updates as well! I am still feeling great, I am really enjoying pregnancy so far and have no complaints, I am feeling so blessed!

Obviously the comparisons are not the same again :)

Hope everyone has a great week! Looking forward to spending this upcoming week with my wonderful husband celebrating 6 years of wedded bliss!

Until next time!

 Getting to hear her heartbeat again at the Dr appointments, know that I am right where I am suppose to be, she is growing and that, my last appointment was my last 2 week appointment, every week NST from here on out, so the countdown is on, 8 weeks or less until she is here, I can't believe how fast the time has gone!

Baby Adams, still does not have a name, we are working on it, as of last week we didn't even have a list, now we have added a few names to the list, so we are getting there! Never thought it would be this hard to name our baby! :)

How is it possible, we are already 30 weeks! Time is sure flying!

Until next time!

Food cravings
Still enjoying fruit, smoothies and ice cream! Which Joe is thrilled about, he loves it and I always say I do not want it, but now I always want it :)

Best moment this week:
 We got the dresser and crib put together, we also got the closet cleaned out in the nursery, so I am good to go, we need to get our crib mattress and I need to wash clothes and blankets! We have also decided to not go the tradition way and buy a glider and get a recliner rocker instead, we are tall so it has been hard to find a rocker that will work, Joe is 6'4 and I am 5'10 so anyone have any suggestions?
 
We are really struggling to both agree on a name, so we are researching websites and books to see if we can find anything we love, if you have any name suggestions I am always up for ideas :)

 

 

And just because I love this sweet dog so MUCH! I want to show you a picture of her with all her "friends" :) Isn't she the sweetest little baby :) Love her!

 

 

Until next time,

 

 



Bumpdate- 26 weeks and hospital must haves

Image

26 weeks: Your baby is as tall as an English hothouse cucumber and weighs about 1 2/3 pounds. (Length: 14 inches, head to heel.)

Maternity Clothes I am officially wearing all maternity bottoms, most of my shirts still fit, I was never one to wear tight clothing so i have lots of tops that still fit, but I am still on the search for some comfy pants though, any suggestions?? :)

Stretch Marks
I still do not have any, still using Palmer's every night so i am hoping to keep them away!

Movement
 She is still very busy! She must like to eat, because about 5 minutes after I am done eating she is really dancing in my belly :)

Food cravings
Still enjoying fruit, but is it weird that i have wanted to have cereal for dinner almost every night last week! haha

Nausea, vomiting, or sickness
None. I'm SO grateful that i have not had any sickness and was not sick during the first trimester either!

What I miss:
Nothing, no complaints from me this week!

Gender:

Best moment this week:

*Again the apps I use are not matching up, I sure hope she is thicker than a cucumber :)*

Also, what are things you would say are must haves for when you are in the hospital for labor and after delivery? What are things that can stay at home that we should not waste space bringing? Thanks everyone in advance :)

Until next time!
