Love, Hate

 
Some people have been asking about what I love/hate about pregnancy. I thought I’d compose a list for those who are curious.
Love:
-Feeling her move on a daily basis. She always reminds me that she is right there.
-Being closer with Seth. Pregnancy can really bring a couple closer than ever.
-Planning the nursery and registering for fun [...]

How far along? 24 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: About 9 pounds total.
Maternity clothes? For the most part. I can still wear some pre pregnancy shirts, but I’m definitely in maternity pants.
Sleep: Good…once I get comfortable to fall asleep.
Best [...]

Baby’s Size…Week 24

How your baby’s growing:
Your baby’s growing steadily, having gained about 4 ounces since last week. That puts her at just over a pound. Since she’s almost a foot long (picture an ear of corn), she cuts a pretty lean figure at this point, but her body is filling out proportionally and she’ll soon start to [...]

23 Weeks

How far along? 23 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: About 8 pounds total.
Maternity clothes? Still a little of both.
Sleep: Pretty good, but since the belly is getting bigger (and I am a stomach sleeper) it’s getting harder to get comfortable to fall asleep.
Best moment this week: All the great deals my mom has found! (See post below)
Movement: More and more everyday. [...]

Baby’s Size…Week 23

 
/h3>
How your baby’s growing:
Turn on the radio and sway to the music. With her sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance. And now that she’s more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound (about as much as a large mango), you may be able to see [...]

I Registered This Weekend

 My very first roommate Whitney came into town just to help me register! What a sweet heart! She had a baby in November, so I thought it would be nice to have an experienced young mom help me out…plus I haven’t seen her in a while and I never met her baby, so it was [...]

22 Weeks

I went to the doctor yesterday and everything looks good so far. Her heart beat was around 155 and I was measuring right on track. On my next visit I have to do the glucose test. I’m not excited about tasting the drink they give you.
How far along? 22 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: Correction from last week…I [...]

Watch what you say — baby is now able to hear outside noise from down in the womb. Studies show that baby finds gentle music and your own voice most soothing. That little face is fully formed. And, baby’s starting to [...]

Daddy Felt her Move!

Yesterday seemed to be an active day for our little girl. Lately she has been more active in the morning, but not through out the day. When I laid down for bed last night she was moving quite a bit. Seth wasn’t home yet, and I was hoping she would keep it up until then. [...]

How far along? 21 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: Drum roll please…..about 10 pounds (on my mom’s scale.) I don’t feel like I’ve put that on!
Maternity clothes? I am mostly in maternity pants, although they are a bit big. Running shorts are getting tighter in the waist, but my shirts are still pretty good if they are on the [...]
