Survey, a Belly Picture, and the Nursery!

How far along? 24weeks and 5 days

What have you bought for your baby? I've bought a couple of outfits at a consignment store, plus all the stuff we needed to do the room.

Total weight gain/loss? Approximately a 6lb gain.

How are the maternity clothes? I'm in pants ans shirts full time now. Pretty much everything else doesn't accommodate my huge tummy anymore.

Stretch marks?  I still haven't noticed any new ones yet, although it might be hard when I have so many from before

Hows the sleep? It was pretty good until this past week. I'm having trouble falling asleep and staying asleep now.

Best moment this week? Getting the nursery done!

Movement? Oh my goodness, this little guy is going to be some kind of athlete or something. He just goes and goes and goes!

Type of delivery your planning on? Still planning to go med-free! Been trying to read up on pain managment so I can better cope this time. I just hope to avoid the endless back labor this time around!

Biggest change in your body besides belly? My rear is getting even bigger. I didn't know that was possible!

Food cravings? Ice cream.

Sex of baby? It's a boy!!!!

Labor signs? None. Thank God! Baby better be staying put for awhile!

Belly button, in or out? In, for now, but probably not much longer.

What are you missing? Wine. I'm always missing my wine. I don't realize how much of a wino I really am until I'm pregnant/breastfeeding. I'm also missing sleep, and being able to get up from a seated position without grunting!

What are you looking forward to? Appointment on the 31st.

Other updates? How about a bump shot, and some pictures of the nursery?!

Took this today, 24 weeks and 5 days!

All ready for furniture!

Pregnancy Survey and baby bump photo!

It's been about a month, I guess it's time for another one of these.

How far along? 17weeks and 5 days

What have you bought for your baby? Still nothing, not so patiently waiting to find out the sex so that we can go shopping!

Total weight gain/loss? Gained 2 pounds.

How are the maternity clothes? I'm in maternity pants full time now, I have some shirts but I am still able to fit into a lot of my pre-pregnancy shirts. Especially those from before I lost some of my weight.

Stretch marks? Oh I've got plenty of those from last time, I haven't noticed any new ones yet.

Hows the sleep? Okay. It's not great but I'm not complaining yet either.

Best moment this week? Not really much going on.

Movement? I've felt some. Nothing consistent yet, and nothing that S has been able to feel. Hopefully he or she will be bumping around in there soon!

Type of delivery your planning on? My delivery with Bug was natural so as long as all goes well, this one will be too.

Biggest change in your body besides belly? Acne! I feel like I'm 15 again!

Food cravings? Ughh! Pizza hut bread sticks and soft ice cream. Do you know how hard it is to get soft ice cream in December in Pennsylvania?! The only place I can get it is McDonalds!

Sex of baby? We should know before the new year!

Labor signs? None. Thank God! Baby better be staying put for awhile!

Belly button, in or out? In, for now.

What are you missing? Wine. I'm always missing my wine. I don't realize how much of a wino I really am until I'm pregnant/breastfeeding.

What are you looking forward to? Finding out what the sex of this baby is!

Other updates? Not really much going on. By the next time I post one of these there should be some fun stuff to share!

Here's our first belly shot! This was from 16 weeks!

Belly Pic!

35 weeks!!

At thebump on hump day (Wednesday's) we all post pictures of our bumps (Hump Day/Bump Day), so I will try to also make Wednesday's my bump day here in my blog too! I'm just a day late this time around! I was never a tiny girl and have put on quite a bit of weight over the last few years so I wasn't sure how soon I would start to show, but I think we can all agree that there is definitely a bump mixed in with all that "flubber"!

We had a doctor's appointment this afternoon. It went fine, just a normal check-up type of thing, pee in a cup, have your arm squeezed off by the blood pressure cuff, and let someone push on your stomach so hard that you think you may pee on them, you know just your normal stuff! Doc used the doppler and let us hear babe's heartbeat (which is nothing new for us since we have our own)! But the big news of the day is..... I LOST 2 POUNDS! I know you're thinking but you're pregnant aren't you supposed to gain weight? The thing about being overweight to start out with is that you are only supposed to gain AT MOST 15lbs your entire pregnancy. So the doctors told me that if I were to loose weight it would be a good thing, and Squishy would still be getting everything that she/he needs! So doc said he was very proud of me before we left today! Woohoo! Next appointment is scheduled for May 20th and at that appointment we'll schedule our next u/s where they will do the anatomy scan and make sure that Squishy is growing on track!

Until next time....
