Bump #2- 32 Weeks

Only 8 more weeks left unless he comes a week early like his sister then we are down to 7!  It’s crazy to think in 8 weeks I am going to have two children.  I am definitely looking forward to meeting him but not to sleepless nights.

Last weekend we ended doing the 3D/4D ultrasound.  Baby boy looks just like his daddy but has my nose.  Ill post pictures tomorrow.

How Far Along:  32 Weeks

Size of baby: About the size of a squash, 15.2-16.7 inches and 2.5-3.8 lbs.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: +30lbs

Maternity Clothes: Yes, all pants and some shirts.

Gender: BOY!!

Movement:  Lots!  Last week I didn’t feel like he moved much but he has definitely made up for it this week!  I still can decide if he is head up or down.

Symptoms: I think I may be having some Braxton Hicks.  I didn’t have them the first time I was pregnant so I am not sure what they feel like.  But every once in a while I feel a tightening but I don’t know if that’s a BH or the baby moving?

Sleep: Still pretty good.  I have a pinched nerve in my back this past week so moving around has not been comfortable.  I had a dream last week that our baby ended up being a girl and not a boy!

What I miss: Feeling normal and running.  I never thought I would miss running.  Last week we had one really nice day, it would have been amazing to get out and go for a run.  Instead Lakelyn and I took a walk.

Cravings: Oranges.  I eat 2 every night before bed.

Next Appointment: March 11^th (last 2 week appt!)

Looking forward to: Baby shower on March 9th

Differences in last pregnancy: In the last bump update I talked about how I haven’t felt this baby get the hiccups.  Well, he proved me wrong and got them that night (2/12).  This baby moves so much more then Lakelyn did, or that I could feel.

Last Appointment review:  Regular check up, heat beat was at 130.  I am measuring 1 week ahead.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Bump #2- 30 Weeks

I finally made it to 30 weeks, which means only 10 more to go!  Or if he comes a week early like Lakelyn did then only 9 more weeks! 

We do have his names narrowed down to 2 but we won’t be telling until after he is born. We may tell our parents before but we don’t want to make our decision based on others opinion.

How Far Along:  30 weeks!

Size of baby: About the size of a cucumber, 15.2-16.7 inches and 2.5-3.8lbs.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: +28lbs

Maternity Clothes: Pants and a few shirts.

Gender: BOY!!

Movement:  Lots!

Symptoms: Still not sleeping well.

Sleep: I am still sleeping at night but not in a deep sleep which makes me wake up still tired.

What I miss: Beer, it’s so sad.  I probably sound like an alcoholic but before I got pregnant I only drank on the weekends and it wasn’t a lot.  I think just the thought of not being able to have it makes me want it.  I frequently have dreams about Luke telling me to try a beer while I am pregnant, I take a sip and next thing I know it’s all gone!!

Cravings: Food, I am hungry 24/4.

Next Appointment: Feb 25^th

Looking forward to: I think Luke and I are going to do the 3D/4D ultrasound on Saturday.

Differences in last pregnancy: I remember with Lakelyn because I had an anterior placenta I didn’t feel a lot of her movements but could always tell when she got the hiccups.  With this baby I don’t have an anterior placenta so I feel all his movements but have yet to feel him get hiccups!

Last Appointment review:  Normal routine checkup, heart beat was 140.

Bump #2- 29 Weeks

I forgot to post last week but I at least remember to take pictures.  I can’t believe we are almost down to 10 weeks.  And if this baby comes a week early like Lakelyn did then we are down to 9 weeks.

Lakelyn has been moved over to her new room, which leave the baby room completely empty.  It’s kind of a bitter sweet moment, my sweet baby girl isn’t a baby any more but soon another sweet baby will fill her spot.  My grandmother is currently making his crib bedding and I can’t wait to get it in his room!

                               

 

How Far Along:  29 Weeks

Size of baby: About the size of an Acorn Squash, 15.2-16.7 inches and 2.5-3.8lbs.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: +25lbs

Maternity Clothes: Pants and some shirts now.

Gender: BOY!!

Movement:  Lots and Lots! I think he may come out as a ninja!

Symptoms: Heart burn, only when I lay down on my back.

Sleep: Most nights I am able to make it the whole night without peeing.  Although I am sleeping I am not in a deep sleep like I used to.  So I am waking up tried and not well rested.

What I miss: Feeling skinny, or maybe just skinnier.

Cravings: Sweets

Next Appointment: February 11^th, I start going every 2 weeks now until March 11^th and then every week until he is here!

Looking forward to: Our baby shower on March 9^th.  My BFF insisted on throwing me one since we are having a boy this time.

Differences in last pregnancy: I don’t feel as prepared this time. I haven’t picked up a single book and other then a few clothes we really haven’t bought much.  His room isn’t put together either.

Last Appointment review:  Last appointment was a routine checkup.  Everything looked great, heart beat was a strong 135.  I also passed my glucose test!
