25 Weeks Pregnant - Baby #3

How far along? 25 weeks pregnant 

Total weight gain/measurements: 166 lbs (+6 lbs)

Maternity clothes: Has to be maternity or super stretchy, otherwise it doesn't fit!

Stretch marks? No new ones

Sleep: Sleep has been SO bad this week. Between this child constantly hugging my bladder to the point of me having to empty it on a 1-2 x per hour basis, acid reflux and general discomfort, I've been getting an average of 4 hours of sleep per night. And that's with 5-7 trips to the bathroom per night and usually getting up with Samantha once or twice. I really hope it gets better this week, because I'm exhausted!

Best moment this week: Adding up all the money we saved this month to put towards paying off Mike's truck!! Between Mike's ultra hard work at two jobs, my Dave Ramsey class and strict budgeting, we've been tackling our debt with "gazelle intensity" and it's starting to pay off big time! Might sound lame, but we are both pretty excited haha!

Miss anything?: Not having to worry about acid reflux triggers in my diet. -.-

Movement: This boy is a wild mover!! He is most active in the evening and at night 

Food cravings: Popcorn

Anything making you queasy or sick? The same smells as the whole pregnancy so far. The acid reflux has been contributing as well, but it makes me feel more like I'm just going to vomit rather than nauseous.

Gender: Boy!

Labor signs: Nope

Symptoms: Acid reflux and back pain this week mainly

Belly button in or out? The top is "out" a lot of the time, especially when I'm standing!

Happy or moody most of the time: Mostly happy this week

Looking forward to: Vincent's first tee ball practice tomorrow! :D

24 Weeks Pregnant - Baby #3

How far along? 24 weeks pregnant 

Total weight gain/measurements: 164 lbs (+4 lbs)

Maternity clothes: I bought my first pair of maternity leggings this week haha!! And it was totally worth it. Having trouble fitting in much of anything unless it's maternity or super stretchy!

Stretch marks? No new ones

Sleep: Still hit and miss. It really depends on the night. I've been having bad acid reflux plaguing me this past week, which makes it incredibly difficult to sleep! Not to mention, this little boy has been SO attached to my bladder, several nights this week I've been up at least once an hour to pee. 

Best moment this week: Mike and I went out on a last minute date on Tuesday and it was SO nice to get to visit and eat a tasty meal!! <3

Miss anything?: Not having to worry about acid reflux triggers in my diet. -.-

Movement: So much movement!! I always felt Samantha and Vincent pretty well, but I can feel and see movement SO much better this time since I have a posterior placenta for the first time!

Food cravings: Thin mints!!! I have to be SO careful with them though because they trigger acid reflux. So I can only have a couple and it has to be very early in the day. 

Anything making you queasy or sick? The same smells! Also - MY DAMN PRENATAL. I had to get a little bit different kind when I ran out of my previous one because it was out of stock. And the second that thing hits my tongue, it takes everything in me not to gag and throw it up!! I saw my old one was back in stock yesterday, so I'm going to order it and replace this one because it's killing me.

Gender: Boy!

Labor signs: Nope

Symptoms: Acid reflux is the biggest one this week. On the days I'm on my feet a lot or my activity is a lot more increased, I struggle with pelvic and round ligament pain quite a bit.

Belly button in or out? The top is "out" a lot of the time, especially when I'm standing!

Happy or moody most of the time: Mostly happy this week

Looking forward to: Samantha's first gymnastics lesson on Tuesday!!

23 Weeks Pregnant - Baby #3

How far along? 23 weeks pregnant 

Total weight gain/measurements: 162 lbs (+2 lbs)

Maternity clothes: I honestly need one or two more pairs of maternity pants, but I just can't justify it! I've been wearing leggings and yoga pants non-stop, tank tops, stretchy shirts and the same couple tank tops lol! I look forward to nicer weather when I'm not having to bundle up as much and have more clothing options with this growing bump!

Stretch marks? No new ones

Sleep: Hit and miss

Best moment this week: Getting to celebrate Samantha's birthday AND celebrating 1 week of her being 100% potty trained, night and day with NO accidents!! Yay!!

Miss anything?: My regular exercise routine and my diet before I started feeling sick. Since I've been feeling a little bit better, I'm going to try to ease back into things. I went on a run today and was craving one of my smoothies, so that's a good sign!

Movement: What seems like nearly constant movement!! He kicks so low, it's hard for me to see the big kicks without busting out a mirror because I can't see over my bump haha!

Food cravings: I've been craving pasta this week!

Anything making you queasy or sick? Lots of smells and certain foods, particularly meat.

Gender: Boy!

Labor signs: Nope

Symptoms: Food aversions, acid reflux and fatigue. Thanks to the belly band I've been wearing religiously, pelvic pain hasn't been an issue hardly at all this week.

Belly button in or out? In most of the time

Happy or moody most of the time: Mostly happy this week

Looking forward to: Doing some crafts this week :)
