Total weight gain/measurements: 158 lbs

Maternity clothes: Thanks to awesome pregnancy symptoms this week, I spent nearly the entire week in Mike's pajama pants and hoodies. 

Stretch marks? Nope

Sleep: Sleep is okay, but I feel like no matter how good my night was, I'm exhausted the next morning regardless.

Best moment this week: Seeing our baby!! <3 We didn't get to hear the heartbeat, but we did get to see that little heart flicker on the ultrasound, which was amazing!!

Miss anything? Having an appetite :(

Movement: No, probably not for another two-three months at least.

Food cravings: Not so much cravings as just things I feel like I can tolerate eating. Bananas, lightly buttered toast and cheese pizza. Sound familiar?! (*cough*VINCENT*cough*)

Anything making you queasy or sick? Everything. Particularly meats and vegetables, coffee (sadness), sweets and lots of different smells. Trying to stick to fragrance free for almost everything but our hand soap, which thankfully isn't bothering me! 

Gender: Unknown 

Labor signs: Nope

Symptoms: Damn near crippling nausea, fatigue, raging hormones.

Belly button in or out? In

7 Weeks Pregnant - Baby #3

How far along? 7 weeks pregnant

Total weight gain/measurements: 160.4 lbs

Maternity clothes: Jeans are all maternity now. Even my stretchy, buttery soft OS leggings are uncomfortable around my waist, (what the hell.) so I’ve been wearing my couple pairs of TC and borrowing my mother in law’s TC leggings lol! I remember seeing seasoned moms posting pictures of their huge under 10 week bellies in my mom groups during my first and second pregnancies and thinking pfff. Stop. You’re pushing your belly out. And here I am at 7 weeks with baby #3 and I look like I just devoured two taco party packs by myself. *facepalm*

Stretch marks? Nope

Sleep: When Samantha lets me sleep, it's not bad!

Best moment this week: Thanksgiving and playing cards!!

Miss anything? Fast Food.

Movement: No, probably not for another two-three months at least.

Food cravings: Same as last week!

Anything making you queasy or sick? Same smells as last week are making me queasy, but it's manageable.

Gender: Unknown 

Labor signs: Nope

Symptoms: Mostly fatigue and ridiculous emotions.

Belly button in or out? In

Happy or moody most of the time: Very moody!! 

Looking forward to: My ultrasound tomorrow!!!

6 Weeks Pregnant - Baby #3

How far along? 6 weeks pregnant

Total weight gain/measurements: 160.4 lbs

Maternity clothes: Lots more maternity than I'd like to admit lol!

Stretch marks? Nope

Sleep: Sleep has been a lot better this week, but I’ve been insanely tired! 

Best moment this week: Getting to have a Thanksgiving meal with Vincent at his preschool! It was wonderful to see him in his element in the classroom and meet all his friends!

Miss anything? Fast food. 

Movement: No, probably not for another two-three months at least.

Food cravings: Fast food! I want all the pizza, Taco Bell, Freddy’s burgers and fries, all covered in cheese and dripping in grease. 

Anything making you queasy or sick? Not really; I’m just turned off by certain smells, like diapers, the kitchen sink full of dirty dishes, the trash and the hallway, which has become the dogs’ favorite place to pee in this cold weather. *eye roll*

Gender: Unknown 

Labor signs: Nope

Symptoms: Fatigue, sore boobs and raging hormones. Oh, also. EVERYTHING makes me cry. Cute video on Facebook? Tears. My kids being cute? Waterworks. An episode of This Is Us? Sobfest. Craving something I no longer eat? Meltdown. And then there’s the crying about being emotional and crying thing that is super awesome. Lol

Belly button in or out? In

Happy or moody most of the time: Moody. As. F. No doubt. I’m hoping once I have my ultrasound next week that things will be less scary and begin to feel more real! That might help a little with the moodiness. Might. Hopefully. xD 

Looking forward to: Thanksgiving this week and Cards Against Hunanity! Let’s just hope I don’t cry for whatever random reason.

5 Weeks Pregnant - Baby #3

How far along? 5 weeks pregnant

Total weight gain/measurements: 158.2 lbs

Maternity clothes: Honestly, three out of four of my pairs of jeans are maternity now. Hahaha! Mostly because they're super comfortable and from weight gain over the past year and all my jeans fitting tightly right now, I figured I'd go ahead and put them up until next year. 

Stretch marks? Nope

Sleep: Not fantastic. I got sick two weeks ago and I still have the leftover crud and cough, which seems to be worst at night. Samantha still hasn't been sleeping well in addition (the other night, I only slept three hours), but it's getting a little better every night. 

Best moment this week: Our first snow day of 2018! The kids had a blast playing outside in the snow! :D

Miss anything? Junk food lol! 

Movement: No, probably not for another two-three months at least.

Food cravings: Nothing in particular

Anything making you queasy or sick? Not really! I've gotten a little tiny bit queasy a couple times in the past week, but only when I was super tired.

Gender: Unknown 

Labor signs: Nope

Symptoms: The fatigue is definitely becoming more severe, but it's hard to tell whether that is pregnancy related or just from poor sleep lately! I've also started to have sore breasts this week.

Belly button in or out? In

Happy or moody most of the time: Emotions are still all over the place right now! So I'm working hard to keep my mental health in check and continue my healthy diet and exercise! 

Looking forward to: My first ultrasound towards the end of the month! And Thanksgiving of course. Because food. xD

4 Weeks Pregnant - Baby #3

How far along? 4 weeks pregnant
Baby's Size: 

Total weight gain/measurements: 160 lbs (pre-pregnancy weight)

Maternity clothes: Nope! I won't be in them for a while.

Stretch marks? Nope

Sleep: Samantha has been waking up a lot at night lately, so I haven't been getting as much sleep as I'd like to, but when I do sleep, I sleep like a log!

Best moment this week: Getting my positive test!

Miss anything? Everything I miss is more diet related haha! I changed my diet about three weeks ago and cut out a lot of things I usually pig out on. But it's been worth it!!

Movement: No, probably not for another two-three months at least.

Food cravings: Not anything in particular

Anything making you queasy or sick? Not yet!! *KNOCKS ON WOOD* I have my fingers crossed that if it does hit within the next few weeks (which it likely will), it won't be as bad as it was with Vincent!!

Gender: Unknown 

Labor signs: Nope

Symptoms: Hardly anything right now, honestly! Which makes sense, because it is still so early. But when I think about it, I'm urinating more frequently, I'm pretty fatigued and this is now my third pregnancy with one of the first pregnancy symptoms being excessive sneezing haha! But I got sick about a week ago and it's still lingering, so that could be part of it as well.

Belly button in or out? In

Happy or moody most of the time: I've been really moody this week! Between my change in diet, then going of my anti-depressant and anti-anxiety medications under doctor instruction, my emotions have been ALL over the place. However, thanks to my mom and husband's support, adding Vitamin D and Vitamin B6 supplements into the mix and making myself keep up with my exercise routine, my mood has been improving a little bit every day!

Looking forward to: My first ultrasound towards the end of the month! And Thanksgiving of course. Because food. xD
