Baby Makes Three (31 Weeks)

Hunter Grayson Granados Due 09-12-2013

 

 

How Far Along? 31 Weeks & 3rd Trimester

Baby Size: Head of Lettuce est. 18 inches & 3.2 pounds (according to What To Expect iPhone app)

Total Weight Gain: 15 pounds ( I haven't gained anything since my last appointment according to their scales.

What Are The Doctors Saying? I went for an ultrasound and check up this week while I was 30 weeks & 6 days. The ultrasound went fantastic! Baby Hunter is weighing in around 3 pounds & 11 ounces. My ovarian cyst is still measuring as large as ever but it's not growing or shrinking. I believe this will be my last ultrasound before Hunter comes unless I schedule a 4D one like I want too. Hunter is in the head down position and the ultrasound tech said he may stay like that for the rest of the pregnancy so we're getting closer and closer to meeting our baby boy! At my check up the doctor said I haven't gained anything since my last check up 3 weeks prior. Nothing really special happened except that Jordan was able to come to both appointments! I have been feeling really sick and not normal the last few weeks as many as you know and we finally have an answer! Somehow I have had a GI bug and gave it to Jordan. It has definitely been rough with both of us being sick. Next appointment we are going over my birth plan, getting an exam to check for anything that shows signs of early labor & antibiotics I'll need during labor, and hopefully see some weight gain.

Symptoms: Sore feet. Lower back pain. Abdominal pressure. GI bug (I'm not going to go into details here) for my husband and I. It gets really bad at night with the pressure and sharp pains but my doctor has reassured me that it is normal with the GI bug and all my organs repositioning.

Movement: We still have a little ninja on our hand. He's becoming more active in different positions but his favorite seems to be when I'm laying on my side. Hunter loves to hear his daddy talk and "play" with him. Jordan will poke my belly and wait to feel and see another poke from his son. Just to see the smile that comes up on his face especially when Jordan gets really close to my stomach to talk to Hunter in spanish/english.

Best Moment This Week: Having Jordan at my appointments this week was definitely the best moment. With his old work schedule he hasn't been able to come to any ultrasounds or appointments since my 19 week check up in North Carolina. This may have been our last ultrasound before our son arrives and it meant a lot that Jordan was able to be there.

Food Cravings: Cereal, Cereal, Cereal, and more cereal. I think I personally go through about 2 boxes in a week. Thank god I have started a little cereal stockpile thanks to couponing and I don't have to have Jordan run out to the store for a box.

Swelling: I have had no swelling except for my feet after a grocery shopping trip this week. My feet are the only things that are swelling but it's only when I'm on them for too long. Let's hope it stays this way!

Looking Forward To: We have a date set, a place, and the menu planned for the baby shower on July 21st! I can't wait for my seusstastic baby shower!

Until Next Time

Baby Makes Three (30 Weeks)

Hunter Grayson Granados Due 09-12-2013
I Hope Everyone Had A Great 4th Of July!

How Far Along: 30 Weeks & 3rd Trimester (We are 75% of the way through)

Baby Size: Butternut Squash est. 17 inches & 3.1 pounds (according to What To Expect iPhone app)

Total Weight Gain: 15 pounds (163)

Clothing: I have actually added to my clothing collection this week thanks to my amazing husband and my wonderful parents. Last Thursday at 29 weeks my mother took me shopping where I picked out a new shirt and a new blue/white maxi dress. Now, Jordan completely shocked me last weekend when we were at Walmart and he just randomly told me that he wanted to buy me a new dress because a pretty girl deserved a pretty dress as well as a new bra. As many of you fellow preggies know, a new bra is like getting a new BMW while pregnant. I was so excited at the fact he even managed to help me pick some out to try on. When I couldn't decide he let me keep both of the ones that fit! I seriously have the best husband ever!

Shelby and I have no pregnancy filter!

Stretch Marks: I have no clue. Some days I feel like I see them and others I don't. I still have my little patch of veins but I'm not really freaking out.

Sleep: With having Jordan at home this week we both have caught up on much needed sleep. I haven't felt this rested in weeks. I do have the occasional nights where I have to get up every hour or so to use the bathroom. I'm going to have to get use to sleepless night though so it's okay.

Movement: We have an acrobat on our hands. Other people can now see when Hunter punches and rolls. It's pretty crazy how active he is nowadays.

Best Moment This Week: We found a place to have the baby shower! The date is set! The time is set! I just can't wait to share how excited we are for our little Hunter to enter the world with our family and friends. Also, with Jordan's new job and his set hours I was able to actually schedule a birth center tour at our hospital we are going to deliver at on Monday! This week has been amazing and I know each week following will keep getting better and better.

Swelling: Same as always. I'm trying to stay off my feet as much as possible because my feet has been feeling awful lately and will swell if I'm on them to much.

Symptoms: I have been sick on and off the past two weeks. I haven't had many food cravings this week because my goal is to just keep the food down. Somedays were successful while others it was like I was battling food poisoning all day. Let's just say it was not pretty.

Looking Forward To: Two Things: BABY SHOWER & BIRTH CENTER TOUR

Until Next Time
XOXO

Baby Makes Three (28 Weeks)

Hunter Grayson Granados Due 09-12-13
Sorry For No Side Skin Sideview I Just Had To Show St. Louis Cardinals Some Love

How Far Along: 28 Weeks & 3rd Trimester

Baby Size: Head of Cauliflower est. 16 inches & 2.5 pounds (according to What To Expect iPhone
app)

Total Weight Gain: 17 pounds

What Are The Doctors Saying: I had my 28 week visit yesterday and everything is looking great. My glucose test came back negative for gestational diabetes and all my blood work came back looking great except I'm still slightly anemic which means I need to increase my iron rich foods. I am right on track for weight gain and fundus height. I go back July 10th for an ultrasound to check on my ovarian cyst and my 31 week visit.

Clothing: Since I've been feeling under the weather the past few days so I've just been lounging in athletic shorts and t-shirts. For some reason my go to outfit is my Liz Lang maternity jeans, Orlando Magic shirt, and my silver sparkly toms as seen in Baby Makes Three (25 Weeks). I will have to go out and buy some shorts this week since it's starting reach 100 degrees.

Stretch Marks: The battle is lost. I now have one tiny patch but I will embrace my tiger stripes. I am still applying my massage lotion and tummy butter constantly to help the little patch and help prevent others.

Sleep: Two Words: Pregnancy Dreams

Father's Day 2013

Movement: Hunter is moving like crazy no. His favorite position is when I'm laying down on my back. I can also tell that he is loving his daddy. Jordan will talk to him and poke my belly to get him to move and we'll almost always see a reaction. He is most active early in the morning and around dinner time.

Best Moment This Week: This past Sunday was Father's Day and we had a nice home cooked meal of boneless ribs, corn on the cob, and baked beans at home followed by some delicious homemade Snickers Peanut Butter Ice Cream Cake made by yours truly! It was Jordan's "first" Father's Day and it was nice being able just to spend the whole day with him.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Heaven

Food Cravings: I always seem to be craving the things I'm not suppose to have. I've been craving lunch meat lately and subway. I haven't made it to Subway yet but I'm sure I'll get there soon. I'm craving a cold cut on italian herbs and cheese loaded with cheese, mayo, lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, black olives, and extra pickles! Yum! The oddest thing is I never use to be able to eat chocolate but I've slowly started eating it in small quantities. I'm loving those little chocolate mousse shooters at Applebee's Bar & Grill and Olive Garden. 

Swelling: Same as it has been the past few weeks. My feet are only swelling now when I'm on my feet to long especially after grocery shopping.

Symptoms: Back pain, back pain, and more back pain. I'm also feeling a lot of pressure in my lower abdomen which could be from him being head down and shifting. I also had a two day span of either a virus or "morning sickness", it was horrible.

Looking Forward To: Sometime next week I am having my maternity photo shoot. We are going to a sunflower field and I just can't wait to do a professional photo shoot. Jordan won't be able to join me since he will be working but we'll do another session with him in a few more days.

Baby Makes Three (27 Weeks)

Hunter Grayson Granados Due September 12, 2013
We Just Entered The Third And Final Trimester 

How Far Along? 27 Weeks & 3rd Trimester

15 Inches (That's A Long Cucumber)

Baby Size: This week marks a huge milestone! Up until 27 weeks you measure the baby from the top of the head to his bum. Now we are measuring little Hunter from the head to his little tiny toes. Cucumber est. 15 inches & 2.2 pounds (according to What To Expect iPhone app)

What Is The Doctor Saying? Yesterday, I had my first ultrasound since moving to Florida and the first one since I was 19 weeks along. Two long months of waiting to see my handsome son was just killing me. While it was the first time that I've been to an ultrasound and Jordan wasn't able to come my parents were able to be there. There was a student that was shadowing the ultrasound tech so we had the most detailed ultrasound ever. We were able to see Hunter's brain and the tech showed us the different parts of his brain and even the cerebellum. Everything looked

My 2 pound 3 ounce baby boy

completely normal in the brain so there should be no spinal defects. The most amazing part was being able to see the heart and the four chambers. We saw the aorta and pulmonary valves working and pumping. He was in the perfect position and flipped exactly when we needed him to do. Thanks to the amazing ultrasound tech teaching a student we were able to eliminate 99% of all birth defects. Hunter was weighing in at 2 pounds 3 ounces and is super super healthy with a steady heart rate of 140 bpm.

My ovarian cyst is still there. It was measuring in at 8.5 centimeters. The ovarian cyst was first detected at my 6 week 5 day ultrasound and measured at 8.7 centimeters. While it has gotten smaller, they say it's not going anywhere. I was being monitored every 3-4 weeks at my OB/GYN in North Carolina and will continue to do the same down here. The doctor is also planning to do a 6 week postpartum ultrasound to monitor the cyst and see where we are with scheduling surgery. My next ultrasound is scheduled for July 10th at 7am and I'm hoping my husband will be able to go into work late so he will be able to come with me.

Clothing: I think that I've passed the cute pregnancy phase. I'm starting to outgrow some of my maternity jeans and one maternity shirt. While I'm still in a medium it's still sad to outgrow some maternity clothes. I love wearing some dresses but some shirts and dresses just make me feel like a whale which is why I prefer to wear tighter shirts.

Stretch Marks: Keeping them away week by week! I've made it two trimesters with no stretch marks! I believe that is quite the accomplishment! I still swear by Palmer's Cocoa Butter Massage Lotion For Stretch Marks and Tummy Butter!

Best Moment This Week: WE HAVE A CRIB! We were suppose to pick up a crib and dresser/changing table but the seller decided not to sell it anymore.

Red Fish, Blue Fish, Old Fish, New Fish

 I was so upset because the crib was gorgeous. Well, my hubby surprised me and took me to the store and bought our son a brand new crib and crib mattress. The only thing we are missing is to find a light oak or white dresser. It feels so good to have most of the nursery set up.

Belly Button In Or Out: Still an outie but it's so much fun to pop it out and gross out my husband! I do hope it does pop eventually!

What Do You Love? I'm starting to love my pregnancy boobs. I mean I can barely tell I'm not wearing a bra when I'm wearing a sports bra.

Movement: He's getting more and more active. I've been able to see him still his little foot out and move my stomach. It's still odd to watch my stomach roll when he is really active. I've tried to catch it on video but as soon as I hit record he stops. That little booger.

Food Cravings: Thank You Roo Cup! I have been obsessed with coke slushies from kangaroo gas stations. Right now you can purchase a roo cup and have $0.25 refills. I kept drinking Jordan's so he eventually got me my own! 

Swelling: I only swell in my ankles when I'm on my feet way to long! Today I went grocery shopping and I'm having my first case of cankles.

Looking Forward To: We have finally set the date (well the weekend) for our Florida baby shower! Let the planning begin!

XOXO 

Baby Makes Three (26 Weeks)

Hunter Grayson Granados
Due September 12, 2013

How Far Along Are You? 26 Weeks

Baby Size? Eggplant est. 9.2 inches & 2 pounds (according to What To Expect iPhone app)

What Are The Doctors Saying? Yesterday, I had my first doctors appointment since I've moved. So far, I love the staff and it seems extremely close to the doctor's office I went to back in North Carolina. Hunter's heartbeat was great but he's a stubborn boy and just liked in the hospital he doesn't seem to like any doctor equipment. As soon as the nurse put the Doppler on my stomach he tried to kick it off. He's going to be a handful when he's older, I can already tell. The Physicians Assistance I saw said that I am perfect with my weight gain as well as my fundus height (26 inches). I also was able to know out an hour glucose test while I was there. Lets just hope there's no abnormalities with the results so I don't have to do the nasty 3 hour long test. Here's to hoping I found the right doctor's office and midwife!

Total Weight Gain: 15 pounds 

Clothing: I officially outgrew my last pair of Hollister jeans (some old size 9's). It was a really sad day because there was a point to wear I couldn't fit into any sizes that Hollister made. I outgrew my HCO size 7's a few weeks ago but I'm determined to get back into them. 

Stretch Marks: None, and trying everything to keep it that way! After 3 unsuccessful visits to Walmart to find Palmer's Cocoa Butter Tummy Butter, I finally found it Wednesday! I've only used it twice so far. As of know I'm liking my Palmers's Cocoa Butter Massage Lotion For Stretch Marks better just because of how much easier it is to use. The tummy butter is in a tub and I feel like I'm runnin a magic genie trying to get it out while the massage lotion is just in a pump. I guess we'll see after a few more uses. I'm using both as of know since the tummy butter's directions said, "For best results use Palmers's Cocoa Butter Massage Lotion For Stretch Marks first followed by Palmers's Cocoa Butter Tummy Butter." I guess we'll see. 

Sleep: I've actually been sleeping a lot better lately. I don't know if it's that fact I'm so worn out with all the wedding festivities or if it's the fact I'm just getting more and more tired.

Best Moment This Week: Going to the doctors! I never thought I would be so excited to go to the doctor's! I'm loving the office and staff.

Labor Signs: Just the occasional braxton hicks.

Belly Button In Or Out? While the belly button is still officially in, I can now make it go out!

Movement: Hunter is a little ninja! He is always on the move now! I still haven't adjusted to the feeling of him flipping inside of me yet.

Food Cravings: Of course I'm craving the things I shouldn't really being eating! I've been craving lunch meat especially turkey, ham, and cheddar sandwiches. We are also suppose to be going to Bubba Gump's on Saturday with some of the wedding party and I can't wait to get my hands on some cocktail shrimp and especially Bubba's Far Out Dip!

Looking Forward To: Today is my little sisters wedding! It's also why I wasn't able to update yesterday since I was running around like a chicken with its head chopped off. From the uninvited wedding guest (Tropical Storm Andrea) to the delayed flights, it was a very hectic day!

What Is Your Number One Must Have Baby Item?
XOXO

Don't hate me... sorry I didn't get to update until now. So much wedding stuff!

Baby Makes Three (25 Weeks)

Hunter Grayson Granados Due 09-12-2013
Be proud of your bump!

How Far Along? 25 Weeks

Baby Size: Eggplant est. 9 inches & 1.7 pounds (according to What To Expect iPhone app) 

Clothing: While I haven't added anything new to my wardrobe, I have out grown my first pair of maternity pants. They were these awesome capri's that but my belly has officially outgrown them. I didn't even think that was possible. With my sister's wedding next weekend I had to find a matron of honor dress that would fit me at 26 weeks (Thank you Kohl's) and it was delivered this week. It's super cute and I can even wear it again throughout the pregnancy! I also had to find a dress for the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. Why so may outfits!! Well, I was able to still fit into my purple dress that I wore to Heather & Trevor's wedding (November 2011). I'm pretty sure I was doing a happy dance! 

See why I'm so excited!

Stretch Marks: Not yet and trying to keep it that way. Still using my Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula For Stretch Marks Lotion at least twice a day. You can find it at Walmart for around $5. One of my pregnant friends was referred to try Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Tummy Butter and I'm going to try to pick that up today since it has a lavender scent so I'm going to use it at night before bed. 

Sleep: I'm still not getting as much sleep as I should. With being on bed rest the majority of the week I've been getting a nap here or there. I'm just hoping the braxton hicks ease up at night so I can rest.

Best Moment This Week: I believe it was Tuesday night. Jordan was trying to get hunter to move since he is no able to see the movement. He talks to my belly and was poking it and he said kick me and wouldn't you know, Hunter kicked me the hardest he has ever kicked. We both laughed about how  Hunter was trying to say stop annoying me Dad!

Labor Signs: Ehh. You know just the two hospital trips, the practically week long bed rest, contractions for 5 days straight, and the occasional braxton hicks now. I wouldn't say to much out of the ordinary... (sarcasm, pure sarcasm)

Belly Button In Or Out: I'm still rocking my inny!

Miss Anything? Sleep. 

Movement:  He is moving all the freaking time now. Since my placenta is anterior he kicks super low, and when I mean low, I mean low (if you catch my drift). He loves to kick the bladder and lately he loves to kick me basically in the cha cha. You can now see it when he kicks or shifts, which is pretty awesome but definitely creepy too.

Food Cravings: Frozen pancakes! I am just loving those at the moment especially Odom's Sausage & Maple Pancake snack size sandwiches. It's like pure heaven from the first bite to the last.

Swelling: None this week or at the moment! I guess because I've been on bed rest most of the week.

Symptoms: See Labor Sign. I'm having the occasional braxton hicks, horrible back pain, muscle stretching, etc. It has been a rather painful week.

Moods: With all that has been going on I haven't had to many mood swings. I've mostly been worrying about keeping little Hunter in as long as I can. 

Looking Forward To: The pain to stop. I know not all the pain will stop until he gets her but really, can it ease up just a little bit, please! WE ARE PICKING UP THE CRIB AND NEW DRESSER/CHANGING TABLE ON SUNDAY! We got an amazing deal and both items are brand new, never been used! This weekend is insane with what's going on so it is sad I'm also looking forward to Monday? My sister's lingerie shower is Saturday as well as her best friend's graduation party and she graduates high school on Sunday! Busy, busy, busy!

Baby Makes Three (24 Weeks)

Hunter Grayson Granados Due 09-12-2013
Look! I'm not in sweats! 

How Far Along? 24 Weeks

Baby Size: Ear Of Corn est. 8.5 inches & 1.5 pounds (according to What To Expect iPhone app) 

Clothing: I actually bought me a pair of LEGGINGS this past weekend. Yes, you read correctly. I am now the owner of a pair of leggings. Megan Parker from Shooting star, breaking the mold was ecstatic when she found out. I'm still getting use to wearing what should be classified as cotton super glued onto your skin but they are comfortable. But, I will never wear LEGGINGS AS PANTS unless I am going to bed or doing yoga.

Stretch Marks: I believe I have one little patch. I'm not sure yet but I know I can't escape them forever. I am still using my Palmer's Cocoa Butter religiously like it's holy water. Morning, Noon, & Night I'm slathering myself up with that wonderful concoction. 

Sleep: I'm actually starting to enjoy it again. It's harder to sleep than before but I'm enjoying every second of it. I really have to start getting more sleep though, some days I'm like a walking zombie. Last night was the best sleep I have had in a long time. Sleep is my escape from the physical pains of pregnancy. My mind set is, if I'm sleeping then I don't feel the pain.

Best Moment This Week: Jordan finally felt Hunter move! Hunter was very active yesterday morning and the hubby was finally able to feel his son. Jordan kept trying to get Hunter to move more and more so he could feel more. It doesn't feel real until the father can feel and relate that there is an actual baby in there and someone didn't just put a picture up on the T.V. during the ultrasound. 

Boy or Girl: Baby Granados is definitely a boy!

Belly Button In Or Out? Out. I don't think my belly button will ever "pop" even though it is pretty scarred from the pregnancy already.

Movement: More and more everyday! Jordan can now feel the strong kicks and punches and he can't wait until he can physically see them. Hunter moves mainly when I'm laying down on my back.
Update: As soon as I posted this I was physically able to see him kick me! My whole stomach moved!

Food Cravings: Olives, Salad with Olive Garden italian dressing, and Apple Juice. Hunter loves his apple juice.

Have You Started To Show Yet? I believe the picture can answer for yourself. I just wonder how far my stomach can stretch. The belly is getting rounder and bigger everyday.

Swelling: The only swelling I have noticed is when I'm on my feet for too long and my right hand if I also use it for too long (like typing this blog). Hello massage and ice/heat packs tonight.

Symptoms: I have a slight appetite back from last week which is good because I do love my food. My back pain is still here and seems like it will never go away. The newest symptom is cramps! I hated cramps before and I hate them even more now. I've been having some slight to moderate cramping since yesterday afternoon. They have intensified today so a trip to the ER may be in my future tonight if they don't stop.

Moods: I've noticed that I get offended rather easy at the moment. I'm like a Mama Bear ready to attack. I use to not get offended as easily but any little thing can offend me now. Call me crazy and call me hormonal, you're probably right. There is this secret mommy group on Facebook with a bunch of local mothers and mothers to be. It is a place to sell baby stuff, vent, ask for help, opinions, and basically anything baby. I've had to hold my tongue on some of the subject because every mother out their has their right to their own opinion and can voice it. A mother can be the most opinionated person you know. Just because I don't agree with it doesn't mean I'm going to bash you on Facebook. Well, sometimes I can't hold my tongue like today. Just look at the Facebook post (pictured below). I've colored out the pictures and name for privacy.

Yeah, that happened!

That status update just ticked me off so much. I went to high school with this girl, keyword went! We graduated 2010 and have now been out of high school for 3 years. We are all in our twenties and what happens when you're in your twenties? You get married and have kids. Well most of us. I love my son and my family and I have the same right to post statuses about them as much as you have the right to post statuses about parties and booze. My life is my family so therefore that's what I post. I've seen countless posts like this from people I went to high school with. If you aren't happy with what I post then just delete me. I didn't mind all the comments on their but I would just like to let everyone know who depends on birth control, BIRTH CONTROL IS NOT 100% EFFECTIVE! This was how I was blessed with my little bundle of joy. Just because some people get the luck of the draw and their eggo doesn't get preggo doesn't mean people don't know what it is.

Looking Forward To: This weekend we will be traveling to Ft. Myers for a dog show and I'll be selling my paracord dog collars, leashes, and accessories. I'm really excited to also start planning for our Dr. Seuss themed baby shower and plan out the nursery! I want to speed up so I can see my son but I also want to cherish these last few weeks as I'm inching closer and closer to that dreaded third trimester.

Am I Being A Little To Hormonal About That Facebook Post?

Baby Makes Three (23 Weeks)

Hunter Grayson Granados Due 09-12-2013
I really should start dressing cuter for pictures.

How Far Along? 23 weeks 

Baby Size: Papaya est. 8 inches & 1.2 pounds (according to what to expect iPhone app)

Total Weight Gain: around 6 pounds

Clothing: I’ve finally gotten use to maternity clothes and I never thought I would be saying this but I prefer them now. While I can still wear the one good pair of jeans (with the rubber band) I have left from pre-pregnancy, Goodwill and yard sales are little slices of heaven on Earth. The first time I walked into Motherhood I was shocked at what they were asking for an article of clothing. As soon as I walk in to Goodwill I head straight for the maternity section. On my last trip I walked out with a brand new pair of pants, 3 shirts, and a nice little black dress all for $20. While I love Goodwill I did give in and let Jordan buy me a pair of gray jeggings. 

Stretch Marks: Nope! I’m using Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula for Stretch Marks religiously. In the morning, after the shower, before bed, and basically anytime I think about it.

Sleep: The word I love and hate at the same time. My husband and I have always been some sort of night owls so we rarely get to bed before eleven. Now he has to wake up between 4:30 and 5:30 in the morning Monday thru Friday and sometimes on Saturday depending on what work there is to be done at his new job. So I’m up bright and early and then it takes a few hours to fall back asleep. 

Best Moment This Week: We moved into our new house! Well, we are renting with my sister and her fiance but it’s still a house to call a HOME. We have a back yard, our own bathroom, our own room with our own stuff, and our soon to arrive baby boy has his own room!

Miss Anything? Being able to wear cute bras! Why do most budget maternity/nursing bras have to be so ugly and have no support? If anyone has any tips for this please help!

Movement: The position of my placenta has kept me from feeling him move until last week but he’s really active now when I’m lying on my back in the early mornings or when I first wake up. While Jordan hasn’t been able to feel him kick, he has been able to feel the baby when he's pressing up against my skin.

Food Cravings: I’ve really lost my appetite this week so I’ve been forcing myself to eat basically. I do crave chocolate milk though oh and don't forget about frosted flakes with extra sugar and fresh banana slices in the morning! 

Have You Started To Show Yet? Oh my goodness yes! I feel as if my belly can’t stretch anymore.

Swelling: I’ve noticed a little in my feet when I’m on my feet more than usual. Wedding ring and band are still a tad too big.

Symptoms: Back pain, braxton hicks, depression, anxiety, you name it I got it. Monday was really bad though. I was having either really strong braxton hicks or contractions but didn’t want to ruin my sister’s graduation dinner so I sucked it up and didn’t go to the hospital. Everything turned out okay once we got home and I was able to rest.

Moods: I started to become a little depressed this week because I'm stuck in the house all day and being pregnant in Florida is miserable in this heat. I’ve learned to focus my energy on the little bundle of joy even though I’ve had some anxiety about not having everything ready for the baby. Things are looking up though!

Looking forward to: We’re registering this weekend! I’m looking forward to putting the crib together when we get it and just getting everything ready for Hunter in his Dr. Seuss theme nursery. "A person's  a person no matter how small." -Dr.Seuss (Horton Hears A Who)

Who else is expecting a bundle of joy?
