19 week update!

     So 19 weeks so far as been full of ups and downs, I still have really bad days but I am starting to have more good days then bad ones. 

     Yep little belly buddy is growing right along! I swear the fruit comparisons shock me every week, the little mango sized baby inside me love to move! I feel him/her moving inside me every single day. 

     I have to admit that feeling belly buddy move is a lot different than when I was pregnant with my own. When my girls were in my belly, I would get excited over every little kick. With belly buddy it is just a reassurance this little one is doing ok. 

     Yep I still only have a tiny little bump, and in the right outfit you can't even tell. I just can not wait for the bump to finally make its appearance! The big belly is one of my favorite things about pregnancy! 

     Tomorrow is the big 20 week ultrasound! (At 19w3d), it will be nice to get reassurance that belly buddy is growing how he/she should. And the parents are very excited to find out if their little one is a boy or girl! 

     What do you think belly buddy is going to be? A girl? A boy? 

     

     I would share what I think belly buddy is but to be honest I keep having dreams it is a fish... Yeah I know odd right? 

18 weeks!

     So we are at 18 weeks! That is the beginning of the 5th month! Oh how time has flown! 

     Belly buddy is now the size of a sweet potato! It is just crazy to me how fast this little one is growing! 

     I am also already feeling movements! When I drink cold apple juice the little one just goes crazy kicking away! 

     I am still sick but slowly getting better! I the medications are working again for the most part and I haven't had to go in and get fluids in almost a week! I am still not feeling back to normal but it is just amazing to slowly be getting back to normal! 

     I still only have a tiny belly but belly buddy is starting to show that he/she is in there! 

     Next week I have the "big" ultrasound! S&J are so excited to find out if they will be having a little girl or boy! I still have no idea I have no feeling either way. As I have told many friends and family I keep dreaming belly buddy is a fish... 

      I went from maternity pants to regular jeans (med bloat was mean) to know my jeans are getting tight in the stomach but I am just swimming in my maternity jeans. 

      I have started making sure to use LOTS and lots of lotion in my tummy but wanted to know what lotion www best for you? I want something thicker than what I am using right now. 

16 week "Bumpdate"

     So I don't have much of a "Bump" these days. I am still sick and having a hard time eating as much as I should but I really am working on it!

     I do have a doctors appointment today so I will try to update after the appointment with what their plan is now! But depending on what they decide it might take me a bit longer to update than I would like.

   

     The IPs baby (AKA Belly buddy) is now the size of an Avocado! I have actually been eating a lot of avocado when ever I find some good ones in the store I grab them all! Having to try to get down good fats has been a nice excuse to eat them as they are one of my favorite foods!

     Now for what you actually clicked on the page for! here is my "bump" or lack there of... 

     Yes I know I have lost a LOT of weight and I am working on trying to gain some back. Hopefully I will be feeling better sooner than later... 

Lack of updates

I admit I have been a terrible blogger and I feel bad because there are so many of you amazing people following along with this pregnancy. 

As most of you know I have been pretty sick. I was actually diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum. So to say it has been a rough time has been a understatement. 

Even with my anti nausea medication it has been hard to find foods that I can keep down. And it seems as if as soon as I get a few my body completely changes and I get to start all over again. 

So while I have not been blogging I have been trying to take care of myself and little belly buddy (who is now actually the size of a orange...) 

I will also leave this post with my newest bumpdate! As you can tell in the picture yes I have lost a lot weight (28lbs now) but so far. But belly buddy has had a perfect heartbeat and all ultrasounds he/she has been on track for growth. I 

Thank you for reading my blog still I apologize for being a terrible blogger bit I am hoping once I feel better it will be easier!

13 week update!

How far along are you? 13 weeks!

Total weight gain/loss: Loss of 19lbs that means I have actually gained a pound though!

Sleep: I am so very tired, BUT I swear I can not sleep good for the life of me.

Best moment this week: I am officially in my 2nd trimester! Just 189 days until my due date!

Have you told family and friends: Yes

Food cravings: Toffee Almond crunch cookies, Salads with ranch (craving one right now)

Anything making you queasy or sick: I am slowly feeling better, Still can not do Peanut butter or most dairy but I am slowly starting to be able to eat again!

Have you started to show yet: Well because my med bloat is gone I am officially not showing again... In fact I am actually looking a good bit smaller than before I was pregnant.

Gender prediction: I am unsure. Thinking belly buddy might be a girl but I have never carried a boy either.

Wedding rings on or off? Still on! and still loose.

Happy or Moody most of the time: This week very moody. I have gotten annoyed or angry at a lot of different things, and have been very vocal about my feelings.

Weekly Wisdom: I need to relax! Easier said than done right? But before every appointment I have I get so nervous and scared that something could be wrong. But belly buddy has been doing exactly what it needs to be doing is and growing so quickly!

Milestones: 13 weeks means we are officially in the 2nd trimester! WOW the first one went by quick...

Maternity clothes? Maternity clothes and lazy clothes if I don't have to change out of my leggings or yoga pants now way am I going to be wearing anything else.

Stretch marks? No new ones.

Movement: Not yet. BUT I should be feeling that in the next 1-3 weeks! Come on Belly buddy I want to feel you!

 Labor Signs: Thank goodness this is a big fat NO!

Belly Button in or out? In, very very in.

Bumpdate! and Doctors appointment.

     So Yesterday I had a doctors appointment it was just a regular check up, to make sure that everything is still going ok.

     They did all the normal stuff. Checking weight, Blood pressure, Measuring the belly, going over what is going on. BUT we also got an ultrasound! We got a little peak into what Belly buddy looks at 12 weeks 4 days!

     This little buddy was moving around like crazy and liked making it hard for the doctor to get the measurements that he needed. He or she is already being stubborn S+J looks like you too might have your hands full with this little one! 

     Now for the bump date. For those of you that have seen me I know my stomach probably looks smaller than last time you saw me BUT that is because I was FINALLY able to stop the shots and 90% of the medication I was taking (still on my prescription prenatal and Zofran). The medications I was on cause what we call Med Bloat. Well now that is all gone so it is just my fluffy self and Belly buddy in that belly! 

     So we are past the 12 week mark! As of next week I am officially in the 2nd trimester! Lets just hope that belly buddy gets that memo and gives me a break on all this nausea! 

12 week update

     So I know that I have been terrible at doing my weekly updates but I am going to try to get back on track, My plans are to post a weekly update on Sunday or Monday and a bump update probably around Thursdayish... Ok I will post them on Thursday. 

How far along are you? 12 weeks 1 day!

Total weight gain/loss: I now down 20 pounds... But I am FINALLY able to eat again so that loss should be slowly hopefully become smaller.

Sleep: I am ALWAYS tired. And I now sleep as much as possible. I am in bed by 9 most nights and feel like a old lady with how early I go to bed. 

Best moment this week: I am officially to 12 weeks pregnant! Out of the scary zone! I have an appointment on thursday and can not wait to see my little Belly Buddy again! 

Have you told family and friends: Yes

Food cravings: Mashed Potatoes, Ceasar Salad, and Arby's anything from Arby's must get in my stomach.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Yes any random smell, funny enough the taste of my anti nausea medication, and peanut butter is back on this list. 

Have you started to show yet: I can still hide it with the right shirt but I am showing now! 

Gender prediction: I am thinking it is a girl just because that is all I have ever carried.

Wedding rings on or off? Still on! 

Happy or Moody most of the time: I think I am happy a lot more! I am still very emotional but getting a bit better!

Weekly Wisdom: Take advantage of the good days and binge watch Gilmore girls, and do noting on the days that you can hardly get through the day.

Milestones: We are 12 weeks pregnant AND FINALLY out of the "Danger Zone"

Maternity clothes? I went maternity clothes shopping, and gosh these clothes are so much more confy. I am also taking advantage of leggings and Yoga pants as much as possible. 

Stretch marks? No new ones.
