20 Weeks Pregnant - Baby #3


It's been a while since my last update! My mental health has taken a pretty serious hit this pregnancy and I've been struggling a LOT. I'm super thankful for my husband, who has been nothing but amazing and supportive through all the hardship, for my mom for helping me through it, whether it be over the phone or by visiting and for my kids and all the extra kisses, snuggles and love!

How far along? 20 weeks pregnant 
Total weight gain/measurements: 161 lbs (+1 lb - my weight has been fluctuating this first half of the pregnancy, but stayed right around my pre-pregnancy weight. Hoping my appetite will continue to pick up a little bit!)
Maternity clothes: Maternity jeans, some maternity tops and otherwise TC leggings and loose, comfy clothing!
Stretch marks? No new ones
Sleep: It's been slowly getting a little better over the past couple of weeks. I'm still exhausted, 
Best moment this week: Getting to see our baby!! :D
Miss anything?: My sanity xD
Movement: Loads more movement over the past few weeks! On the 7th of this month, I was able to feel baby moving on the outside and just a week or two later, I started being able to see movement on the outside, even though it's minimal!
Food cravings: Mostly salty foods, as well as the same ice cream I craved with both Vincent and Samantha lol!
Anything making you queasy or sick? Lots of smells and certain foods, particularly meat.
Gender: Not revealed yet ;)
Labor signs: Nope
Symptoms: Food aversions, occasional nausea, sore boobs, fatigue and braxton hicks. Pelvic pain has been coming and going for over a month now. Last week it was the worst it's been so far, but it's been getting increasingly better over the last two days!
Belly button in or out? In, but the top is starting to come out a bit like it did with my other two pregnancies!
Happy or moody most of the time: Moody. This pregnancy has been extremely hard on my mental health. 
Looking forward to: The kids' birthdays!

15 Weeks Pregnant - Baby #3



How far along? 15 weeks pregnant 
Total weight gain/measurements: 160 lbs
Maternity clothes: Maternity jeans, some maternity tops and otherwise TC leggings and loose, comfy clothing!
Stretch marks? Nope
Sleep: It has been so, so bad!! This insomnia is awful!! I seriously don't remember it being this bad with Vincent or Samantha. 
Best moment this week: Samantha potty training with no accidents for a full day!! :D I'm super proud of her and super excited to maybe have a couple months for the first time in almost 5 years of NO diapers. *crosses fingers, knocks on wood and things*
Miss anything?: Coffee and having a damn appetite
Movement: Super tiny little baby kicks! Much like with Vincent and Samantha, it feels like popcorn popping in my belly :D
Food cravings: Salty and savory foods! For some strange reason, I've been craving a Big Mac. Strange because I have such a MAJOR meat aversion right now, especially to beef. But I haven't acted on the craving because the exact same thing happened when I was pregnant with Samantha - Mike brought me one, I devoured it and one minute later, it came right back up!! I'd rather not deal with that again lol! 
Anything making you queasy or sick? Lots of smells and certain foods.
Gender: Unknown 
Labor signs: Nope
Symptoms: Food aversions, nausea, sore boobs, fatigue and braxton hicks. Thankfully, the pelvic pain hasn't been as bad this week.
Belly button in or out? In
Happy or moody most of the time: I've been doing a little bit better this week! 
Looking forward to: My prenatal appointment on Tuesday!

Movement: Super tiny little baby kicks! Much like with Vincent and Samantha, it feels like popcorn popping in my belly :D
Food cravings: Salty and savory foods.

Happy or moody most of the time: I feel so sad to answer this question with moody every week - my mental health has not been great this pregnancy. :(
Looking forward to: My mom hopefully coming for a visit within the next week!

Best moment this week: Christmas with the family, then getting to hear the baby's heartbeat the day after!! :D
Miss anything? NOT having such major food aversions! Seriously my food aversions with this pregnancy are almost worse than they were with Vincent. So many foods absolutely disgust me right now.

Food cravings: Salty and savory foods.

Symptoms: Food aversions, nausea, sore boobs and fatigue. To add, I also have been having super bizarre pelvic pain!! LOTS of pressure. And I didn't feel that with Vincent until the very last month of pregnancy, with Samantha maybe in the last week or so and then after giving birth both times, so I'm not sure why I am feeling that now. 
Belly button in or out? In
Happy or moody most of the time: Moody, but getting increasingly better now that things are getting back to normal after the holidays. 
Looking forward to: A fresh new start in 2019! :D
