Pumpkin is 26 Weeks  Pumpkin is 25 Weeks       Pumpkin is 27 Weeks Pumpkin is 28 Weeks Pumpkin is 29 Weeks  So, things have been really crazy these four weeks and nothing has changed in a major way for me from week to week so I am going to lump these weeks together to make it easier for me! Symptoms: Been having some pressure in my lower abdomen and pelvic area, nothing major, just annoying. Sometimes he moves or kicks me so low that he feels as if he is just going to come right on out! I asked my mom about this and she said it was completely normal, still so weird. I am really starting to swell, before now I would swell and could get the swelling to go down but now it pretty much stays Weight: let's not talk about it... Cravings: I'm not sure if it's in my mind or what but I am really craving fresh, healthy food. The problem is that it takes so much effort to prepare what I am craving that I usually just refer to jun...

Symptoms: My back hurts! I also am feeling more pressure in my stomach, so fun! In other news, I feel like my itchy skin and Rosacea are clearing up some!  Weight: +25, oh my! Cravings: I am still just hungry all the time! However, I am starting to crave more healthy, fresh food, which is good!  Aversions: Chicken, bacon, steak...unless it's chopped! Gender: Sweet Boy Movement: This guy moves a whole lot! Except for the one day I'm not feeling well and he gave us all a scare! Sleep: Still don't feel rested but I am sleeping! Favorite moment this week: This has been a very emotional week. A lifelong friend who was like family passed away unexpectedly this week. It has been really hard to process and being pregnant hasn't really helped with my emotions. It's hard to see her family hurting as well as my mom who was her best friend. I have tried to stay calm but there have been multiple times where I have just broken down. We are all just heartbr...

Symptoms: Sore hips, itchy belly, some swelling in my feet. Weight: +25, eek Cravings: Ice cream, pizza sticks from teh cafeteria, and breakfast pizza! I still haven't had any "give it to me or I'll die" cravings like I hear people talk about.I have also been craving grapes, I ate a whole bag this week by myself! Aversions: Chicken, steak, bacon...the usual Gender: Precious boy Movement: Feeling more and more movement. Still pretty random but I have noticed that I am feeling him more when I am standing up and moving, not only when I'm still. Sleep: I am sleeping but it's pretty uncomfortable. Favorite moment this week: Aaron felt the baby move for the first time this week which was very exciting! I have been trying to get him to feel him for so long but the little booger stops as soon as I call Aaron's name. We finally got him this time! Questions: None this week. Appointment: We had our second to last  4 week appointment. Next time...

Symptoms: Itchy belly and swollen feet! Weight: +20, eek Cravings:I have just been craving sweets and candy which is really unlike me! Before I was pregnant, I was SUPER healthy and did not eat much candy. Now it's like all I want! Aversions: What is with meat and pregnancy? I just can't do it. Gender: Sweet Boy  Movement: Still feeling movement but it is very random! Some days I feel him move more than others. Sleep: I'm not sleeping the best ever and I wake up with my hips hurting. I do still have some energy! Favorite moment this week: Going to see "Annie" with my mom and Janet. Although it was uncomfortable to sit for so long, I still had a great time! Questions: None this week. Goals: Move more and drink water, like usual! What I miss:The desire to eat healthy and exercise! I always thought that I would be super healthy during pregnancy but the desire just is not there. I do want to be healthy for my baby but I just don't wan...

Week 20 with baby BOY! Symptoms: I have been having some random sickness but it is not all day everyday like it was in the beginning, thank goodness! Weight: +20, eek Cravings: I have been REALLY hungry lately! Craving nutella and eating it with a spoon ( but that is not exclusive to pregnancy lol) I haven't really been craving anything in particular other than nutella, I just have times where I really want something sweet and other times I really want something salty. Aversions: Still any type of meat unless it's chopped up Gender: I am still in shock, it's a sweet baby boy! We went in for our ultrasound (super early), the lady asked us if we wanted to know and what we thought it was. I told her that I just knew it was a girl. It felt like forever before she told us what it was. She had to take pictures of his brain and look at other parts of his anatomy. She was doing all that and we were talking and all of a sudden she goes "...and there's his penis!...

Symptoms: Just my itchy, blotchy, rashy skin! It's driving me nutso! Weight: +10ish?? Cravings: Tomato sandwiches and chili cheese tots still, hehe Aversions: Still cannot do chicken and bacon and really any piece of meat alone. Gender: We will know on February 9 and we cannot wait!!! I am still thinking baby girl! Movement: Feeling some flutters every now and then but sometimes it is really hard to tell what is movement and what is gas lol Sleep: I still don't fell like I am sleeping good, I just feel really restless throughout the night. Favorite moment this week: Celebrating my birthday with my family! We went out to eat and had so much fun! Questions: None this week. Goals: Get organized, I feel like I am already nesting!  What I miss: Being able to do things such as clean, organize, or exercise without getting so fatigued. I just feel like it takes much more effort to do these things these days. and I know it is only going to get worse! What I...

Woah Baby! 17 week bump Symptoms: Fingers crossed, the sickness is gone! Hallelujah! I finally don't feel nauseous all the time! I am definitely feeling the pregnancy brain and I sincerely apologize to every pregnant woman I thought was crazy for saying she had it. I am still really itchy but am hoping that will get fixed soon when I see the dermatologist. I am still feeling pain in my hips, especially in the morning and after sitting for a while. Weight: +10 Cravings: Tomato sandwiches and chili cheese tots from sonic! Basically nothing healthy! I am trying to make some helathy smoothies just to sneak some extra goodness in here and there! Aversions: Chicken, bacon, and I learned this week collard greens. Gender: We will know on February 9!!!! Movement: I finally felt the flutters this week! I only feel them when I'm really still and I notice them more after I eat. I told Aaron that I tell the baby to kick me and he was like "WHY!?" I just love to...
