Closing in on the second trimester and getting ready to enter into the last trimester of this pregnancy has left me reflecting on how quickly moments in our life pass us by. It feels like just yesterday Timmy and I found out we were having a baby and now here we are sitting down to discuss our birth plan. I continue to soak up the moments of motherhood and the experiences I have had creating this little being inside of me. These moments will forever be on the forefront of my mind and I will carry them with me through this beautiful journey of motherhood. And while this chapter of pregnancy will end, I will always hold it close to my heart and carry it with me through the many more beautiful moments and chapters to come within my journey of motherhood. Size: Our baby is as big as an eggplant?! Measuring at 14 inches and weighing in around 2 lbs.! The countdown is on as we have 13 weeks and 3 days till we meet our due date. Weight Gain: Met with our doctor this week and I am still sitting at a 12 lbs. gain since conception. Symptoms: The not so fun pregnancy symptoms have officially set in over the last week or so… indigestion and heartburn, ouch!!! I have never experienced heartburn before and wow is it painful. Tums now can be found in my purse, my gym bag and my car at all times. Secondly, the aches and pains. My hips are feeling sore as my pelvis shifts to make more room for baby and my back is bothering me more as my body adjust to carrying around our little man. Ahh… the sacrifices we make for our children. ;) Favorite Wardrobe piece to wear right now: Lululemon Nulu Naked Sensation tights… these pants are awesome! I sized up and find that the fit is just amazing. They are breathable and move well with me without falling down like most of the tights I have tried. I am living in these! Nursery Update: The carpet from Overstock.com arrived and it fits perfectly in the space and works well with our nautical theme for the boy’s room. I love it! Pregnancy related item I have loved this week: My body pillow!!! That thing has become essential to a good night sleep.
1 thing I am currently having trouble with: Staying awake past 8:30pm! Yes, I start my workday very early and I am pretty non-stop all day, but the crashing on the couch at 8 pm has become a lot more dramatic over the last couple of weeks. I can literally feel my body say, ”Ok that’s enough for today!” and shortly after that… I am out! The number of movies Timmy and I have started in the last week to only have me fall asleep about 45 minutes in is comical. 1 moment I loved about this past week: Little mans continuous kicks and rolls… his activity has kicked in to overdrive and we can actually see him moving around now, not just feel it. It is truly such an amazing feeling. It stops me in my tracks and leaves me smiling from ear to ear. 1 thing I plan to do for myself this week: Prenatal massage today at 3:15pm! YAY!!! Food cravings: No specific cravings, but little mans appetite in the last three days or so has kicked into overdrive. Starving sensations every three hours or so and early morning wake ups to a very hungry little boy. One of my favorite snacks this week has been cottage cheese with walnuts, blueberries and a little bit of Vermont maple syrup… its high in protein, healthy fats and just enough sweetness, it delicious! Currently working on: Reading a little bit more... currently reading Happiest Baby on the Block by Dr. Harvey Karp and loving it! Okay thats Week 26 for ya'll! I will update you next week after Christmas, I hope that everyone has a beautiful holiday. Surround yourself with love and practice gratitude. Love to you all! xo
