34 Weeks Pregnant - Baby #2!

How far along?: 34 weeks pregnant

Total weight gain/measurements: 166lbs (+26.2 lbs), belly 44.5 inches around

Maternity clothes: Mostly maternity

Stretch marks? Still unsure if I've gotten any new ones.

Sleep: I think the photo says it all...hahaha

Best moment this week: Seeing baby girl!! :D

Miss anything? Sleeping on my stomach  

Movement: Movement all the time during the day, but she actually doesn't move a whole ton at night! It gives me a little bit of hope...maybe she won't be a night owl like her brother was? He kicked SO much at night it was ridiculous! It's so cute when Mike comes home after a night shift, it's like she knows. As soon as he comes in the bedroom to go to sleep, she starts kicking away! :D
Food Cravings: cocoa pebbles, egg rolls and pizza. SUPER healthy stuff! >.< haha

Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope! :)

Gender: Girl

Labor signs: None

Symptoms: fatigue, braxton hicks, general discomfort and occasional acid reflux. The acid reflux is mostly at night when I do have it and it's almost always a result of eating something that triggers it too close to bedtime.

Belly button in or out? It's pretty much completely out all the time, unless I'm lying down.

Happy or moody most of the time: Pretty happy this week!

Looking forward to: Newborn snuggles!!! The other night, Vince didn't want me to rock him to sleep, he wanted me to just put him in his crib! That's the only time of day he will really snuggle, so I felt a bit bummed! :( He is getting so big!

Sleep: What's that? xD

Best moment this week: Baking and eating some yummy cake!!

32 Weeks Pregnant - Baby #2!

How far along?: 32 weeks pregnant

Total weight gain/measurements: 162.6lbs (+22.8 lbs), belly 44 inches around

Maternity clothes: Mostly maternity. Even some of my stretchy shirts are no longer working as well.

Stretch marks? If I'm not mistaken, I got a couple of new ones this week! :( Explains the itchy belly! 

Sleep: Sometimes bad, sometimes good. I almost feel like at this point, I'm in a constant state of exhaustion that never really goes away, unless I have coffee. And even then, the awake feels fake...if that even makes sense lol! I do try and rest as often as I can though.

Best moment this week: Hearing Vincent say "Thank You!" for the first time and continuing to say it! :D It is so exciting when he learns new words!
Miss anything? Not really

Movement: SO much movement. All the time. I wonder if this child ever sleeps. I don't notice her move much at night when I'm getting up to use the bathroom though - perhaps that's a good sign?! I absolutely love feeling her move about! :D

Anything making you queasy or sick? No vomiting this past week! :D I haven't experienced any nausea either.

Gender: Girl

Labor signs: None

Symptoms: fatigue, braxton hicks, general discomfort

Belly button in or out? It's pretty much completely out all the time, unless I'm lying down.

Happy or moody most of the time: Some days moody, some days really happy - it just depends.

Looking forward to: Planning Vincent's birthday party :D I think we have finally set a date. I'm going to attempt to make this party as DIY and inexpensive as possible, which should be a fun project and challenge. And the closer we get to it, the closer we get to Samantha's due date, which is super exciting as well!

31 Weeks Pregnant - Baby #2!

How far along?: 31 weeks pregnant

Total weight gain/measurements: 162.4lbs (+22.6 lbs), belly 43.75 inches around

Maternity clothes: Mostly maternity, with the exception of long, stretchy shirts and yoga pants. 

Stretch marks? No new ones. 

Sleep: Awful! The other night, I stopped counting after the 10th trip to the bathroom. Definitely reached the point in pregnancy that's preparing me for the nightly nursing sessions every 1-2 hours! I am so thankful for my mom, who has often offered to keep an eye on Vincent for me around midday, so I can take an early nap or offer to get him up after his nap, so I can eat after he goes down for his and sleep for a couple of hours.

Best moment this week: Getting to spend some time with my sisters in law, brother in law and niece! My niece is a couple months younger than Vincent and watching them play was so wonderful! :)
Miss anything? Sleep. Very much. 

Movement: Lots of movement! Mike has been able to see and feel her movements so much better lately. It helps that she's been more wiggly when he is home!

Food cravings: Cereal and pasta!

Anything making you queasy or sick? Yes, but not exactly sure what. Twice this week before bed, I lost my dinner. The first time I got a really sharp pain in my gut that got progressively worse until I threw up. The second time, I was in the middle of eating dinner and out of nowhere, I felt like I had to throw up and I did. Both days, I'd taken my Unisom and B6 the night before, so it could've just been a matter of dinner not agreeing with me.

Gender: Girl

Labor signs: None

Symptoms: fatigue, braxton hicks, acid reflux, general discomfort

Belly button in or out? Top is out. It's getting to where you can occasionally see it poke through my shirt, but only sometimes! I'm still waiting for it to even out with the rest of my belly. 

Happy or moody most of the time: Very moody, although I really am happy! I think it's just a matter of stress, lack of sleep and third trimester discomfort that makes me moody. I am so thankful for having such a patient husband, who couldn't be more understanding! And I really do try my absolute best not to be snippy, even when I'm feeling particularly irritable.

Looking forward to: Checking more things off the to-do list! I have been so focused on the holidays these past couple of months, that I'd put almost everything else on the back burner temporarily. But there are still a few things to get done before Samantha arrives, not to mention Mike has a birthday next month and Vince's 2nd birthday is coming up before we know it also!
