Mommy Monday {28 Weeks}

Not only have I hit the third trimester mark, but one of my best friends is currently in labor and will be welcoming her baby boy any time now! I'm so ecstatic for her and her husband and cannot wait to meet their handsome little bundle.

I cannot believe how fast the first two trimester's have gone. Before we know it baby girl is going to be here in our arms. I'm having mixed feelings about this because I just love feeling her kicks, but cannot wait to see her and love on her in person.

Without further ado...

How far along? 28 weeks! Hello Third Trimester!

Total weight gain: Still at 20 lbs and really trying to limit my sweets intake. It's just so hard to resist. 

Maternity clothes: The dress I am wearing this week is non-maternity from Target's clearance rack. I paid a whopping $7.98 and it is sooo comfortable!

Stretch marks: Still loving my Honest Co. Organic Belly Balm! I have started to use it more frequently and will likely buy more of this fantastic stuff when I inevitably run out. 

Sleep: I have come to the conclusion that my left lung pain was not heartburn, but an ill-fitting bra from Motherhood Maternity {don't get me started on how irritated I am with that store, perhaps I will tell that story later}. Since I have stopped wearing that bra, the pain is non-existent. I am now sleeping much better {aside from the charlie horse that I got in my left calf last night}. I purchased the Boppy Pregnancy Wedge last week and it has truly been a lifesaver. 

Best moment this week: Spending some quality time with the Mr. at the Art Festival this past weekend. 

Miss anything? Nothing as of right now. Hopefully it stays this way for a little while. 

Movement: Yes, a ton! Can't get enough. 

Food cravings: I have been dreaming of Chai tea latte's. I will have to indulge one of these days. 

Anything making you queasy or sick? Still nothing in this department!

Gender: Girl!

Labor signs: No and let's keep it that way! Just Braxton Hicks.  

Belly button in or out? In {although, it's sneaking it's way out}. 

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or moody most of the time: I've been pretty happy this past week. Thank goodness!

Looking forward to: Our next ultrasound this week! Can't wait to see her again!

Until next time!

I cannot believe how fast this pregnancy is going! It seems like Baby Girl gets bigger by the day, which means I get more and more uncomfortable by the day. Oh well, it's all for a good cause! I will not complain for one second. I'm so blessed to be able to carry this bundle of joy.  I thank God every day.

How far along? 27 weeks!

Total weight gain: Welp, I've jumped up a few pounds and have gained a total of 20 lbs now. Ugh. I know it's all for the good of the baby, but seeing that scale moving upward is so hard. 

Maternity clothes: I am still able to wear some non-maternity dresses from my closet. Same as last week. I have found that I fit very well into most of Old Navy's non-maternity {which is good because I already had a lot of clothes from there prior to being pregnant}. 

Stretch marks: Still loving my Honest Co. Organic Belly Balm! It smells so good. I haven't been using it every night, but should probably start as my belly keeps expanding.

Sleep: Same story as last week. My left chest hurts pretty much constantly now. I can't get a full deep breath in {ever}. I went to my family doctor today and they seem to think it's Heartburn, but I'm not convinced. I've been chewing Tums since then and nothing. I even took Zantac and that didn't do a thing. Grr. 

Best moment this week: Just being able to relax {and be sick} at home this last weekend. 

Miss anything? Sleep and not having pain in my chest.

Movement: She is the most active at night when I'm finally able to relax at home. I just can't get enough of those flutters and kicks!

Food cravings: Fruit! I got a wide variety from Costco last week and am loooving all of it. 

Anything making you queasy or sick? Still nothing in this department!

Gender: Girl!

Labor signs: No and let's keep it that way! Just Braxton Hicks.  

Belly button in or out? In {although, it's sneaking it's way out}. 

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or moody most of the time: I've only been wanting to cry every day because of my chest pains. Other than that, I've been doing ok! 

Looking forward to: Friday! Long weeks are no fun. 

Until next time! 

Mommy Monday {26 weeks}

I'm pretty sure I should just re-name this post to "Mommy {who is always late with posts}". I have a good excuse this week! We had off for President's day so the Mr. and I took a road trip to the beach for a nice little weekend getaway!

How far along? 26 weeks!

Total weight gain: Still at 15 lbs.. going to the doctor again tomorrow so I should have an updated weight gain next week!

Maternity clothes: I am still able to wear some non-maternity dresses from my closet. As long as they are stretchy, I'm good to go! The dress in the picture above is from Old Navy and is non-maternity. 

Stretch marks: Still loving my Honest Co. Organic Belly Balm!

Sleep: Ugh, sleep? What sleep? My left ribs hurt when I lay on my left side and my right hip hurts when I lay on my right. I can't catch a break right now. Going to the chiropractor tomorrow to find some relief. 

Best moment this week: Our beach getaway!

Miss anything? Sleep and not having pain in my ribs. 

Movement: I think we may have a future gymnast on our hands. I swear she tumbles around all day long. 

Food cravings: Bananas are my current obsession. I had the best açaí bowl on our vacation that was loaded with bananas. Delish!

Anything making you queasy or sick? Still nothing in this department!

Gender: Girl!

Labor signs: No and let's keep it that way! Having Braxton Hicks contractions here and there, but I've heard that's nothing to be too concerned about. 

Belly button in or out? In {although, it's sneaking it's way out}. 

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or moody most of the time: I've had a pretty steady mood, but today was a little rocky after work. I felt like I might lose it any minute. Somehow I maintained control. I think the lack of sleep and all the pain is getting to me. 

Looking forward to: The chiropractor and doctor tomorrow! 

Until next time! 

Mommy Monday {25 weeks}

I swear that I woke up this morning and baby girl has grown so much! My belly seems a little extreme {and I know it's just going to get even bigger!}. 

P.S. I know this is {yet again} a day late, but I got home from work at 7:00 last night and there was no time to prepare a picture! 

How far along? 25 weeks!

Total weight gain: I haven't weighed myself in the last week, so we'll just keep saying 15 lbs until I get the guts to break out the scale. 

Maternity clothes: Oh yes, I'm wearing maternity clothes pretty much every day. I just got some new clothes at Old Navy. Some of which are NOT maternity. 

Stretch marks: Still loving my Honest Co. Organic Belly Balm!

Sleep: I'm back to using my Leachco Snoogle and I am getting amazing sleep. 

Best moment this week: My Prenatal Yoga class. It just grounds me and puts my mind ease about anything and everything. 

Miss anything? Nothing at the moment!

Movement: So much movement occurring! Kicks to the ribs, to my belly button, everywhere! I've also experienced my first Braxton Hicks contraction. What a weird feeling. 

Food cravings: Yesterday, I craved some mint chocolate chip ice cream in a cone so we made a trip to Target and got the makings for this craving {which the Mr. also indulged in}. 

Anything making you queasy or sick? Still nothing in this department!

Gender: Girl!

Labor signs: No and let's keep it that way!

Belly button in or out? In {although, it's sneaking it's way out}. 

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or moody most of the time: This weekend was a little rough for me. I'm trying to keep it together, but apparently I'm failing miserably. Work has also been very trying this last week and I'm trying to go home without the stress of that on my shoulders. 

Looking forward to: Heading to San Diego this weekend for Valentine's Day {or a mini Babymoon}!

Until next time! 

Mommy Monday {24 weeks}

Well, I know this is a day late, however I was extremely tired yesterday. I also decided to take a different angle on my weekly picture, so you get me on top of a mountain this week! Enjoy!

How far along? 24 weeks!

Total weight gain: I am still hovering at 15 pounds.. I just can't seem to gain weight. 

Maternity clothes: I have officially switched over full time to maternity clothes. I can still wear some of my old pre-pregnancy tops, but my old pants are out of the question! 

Stretch marks: Still no stretch marks! I am using my new Honest Co. Organic Belly Balm and love how it smells! I also love that it is organic! 

Sleep: I'm trying my best to stay on my left side, but I've been tossing and turning more often than not the last couple of nights. 

Best moment this week: Finishing the rocking chair {purchased from an antique store last spring} that will go in the baby's room! Future post on this coming soon!

Miss anything? Nothing at the moment!

Movement: She has still been very active and I thank God every day. I love her little kicks!

Food cravings: I haven't been craving anything in particular. Although, weirdly have been wanting unfrosted strawberry pop-tarts.  

Anything making you queasy or sick? Still nothing in this department!

Gender: Girl!

Labor signs: No and let's keep it that way!

Belly button in or out? In {although, it's sneaking it's way out}. 

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or moody most of the time: I have been feeling a little bit more moody in the last week and I'm really not a big fan!

Looking forward to: The weekend! I'm already exhausted and it's only Tuesday. 

Until next time!
