Doc Appt. 2/26

I just got back from seeing my doctor and everything went well. He had a hard time hearing the heart, probably cause of my fat stomach but it was ok cause he brought out the ultrasound machine. I seen the baby moving a little bit but he said he/she was asleep. The doc started moving my belly to wake him/her up but no luck, he/she started to move it's hands over his/her face and I seen the heartbeat going strong. Audrey got a little mad that she didn't get to see the baby cause she was sitting on the other side of the machine, LOL. That happened last time too so she's mad. The doctor continued to measure my uterus and it was measuring really good. It's way above my belly button so it's growing!! So I see the doctor in 4 weeks and all is well. Thank you God!

Pregnancy Weeks 13-16 (Month #4)

SLOW DOWN--16 weeks=4 Months

16 Weeks Pregnant

Yesterday was the first time I felt the baby move so much. He/She moved about 6 times that I felt and it's getting stronger. Naty has been wanting to feel but I have to remind him that I have extra baggage on me and it's going to take some time to feel the baby. I have my 4 month appt. this week and I have a list of questions for my doctor, also the countdown is getting near! till our gender ultrasound, can't wait! We have.....8 days left!

My hip is getting worse and more frequent. I had a good half day yesterday, it seems to get worse at night, which makes sense. And last night, I could not sleep for the life of me, I was tossing and turning constantly and Naty was getting mad that he couldn't sleep either, OOPS, hehe. I need a body pillow and a new BED! ggrrr. Even though I'm going through this crap, I want it to slow down. I really want to enjoy it, even though I have aches and pains.

Last night, I was imagining where we'd put the baby, of course with us since I'm gonna attempt breastfeeding (again), but I was thinking in the same corner that we had Audrey's crib when she was born. Naty said yeah, that would be good so we're going to arrange our room the way it was when Audrey was born so that things move smoothly for us. I'm also going to get rid of that big bulky dresser that we have since it's literally a waste of space, nothing fits in the drawers. I might try to convince Naty to buy us a dresser or just find storage containers to store under our bed since we have alot room under there. Anyway, it's going to work out and once the baby is bigger we'll have to find a space for him/her.

So, here we go, right into the fourth month. This is the month that people will start noticing that I'm pregnant cause it really pops out during this time. I got all of my maternity clothes from old navy for about $160 and I got a lot of stuff! I was really excited since I got it for so cheap and won't have to buy anything else.

yayy! for fourth month.

15 weeks

15 Weeks Pregnant

15 weeks and feeling good. My 2 main complaints would be my acne that seems a little better and my hip/nerve pain (siatica). That is going to give me loads of trouble, I can feel it already. I had that with Audrey and it was unbearable, I couldn't walk and my legs would fold on me if I was up too long. Then the famous taking forever to walk, I remember sitting and when it was time to get up, I couldn't! and I would have to hold on to anything available till I was able to walk.

Right now the siatica isn't too bad and happening occasionally but in time it'll get a lot worse and painful. I still haven't bought my maternity belt but it's time we go search for one.

Also, I'm starting to feel the baby move. It feels like little waves and they're very faint but I know I'll be feeling them a little stronger by next week cause that's when I remember feeling Audrey. I really think my pregnancy is going too fast, I want it to slow down cause I'm not ready, hahahaha. I know once I'm in the 3rd trimester I'll want it to speed up again.

Sleeping is getting annoying, I can't stop moving at night. Again, I know that will get worse. My stomach is just too hard. Anyway, I better go now, we're leaving to Bubbs' practice. See you soon.

Celebrating! I made it to my 2nd trimester!

14 Weeks Pregnant

Today marks.....14 weeks! It's hard to believe I'm already in my second trimester, time has flown by and I'm just thinking about how fast the 3rd trimester will come now.

I'm still having minor cramping and sleeping is getting a lot more difficult as time goes by. It's getting harder to sleep on my stomach and I'm starting to lose my breath a lot more. My belly is really hard and getting in the way, I'm afraid of how big it's gonna get.

Naty is in love with this baby and tells me how excited he is and that makes me feel really good. The kids are also excited and asking what I'll name him/her constantly, I've told them my ideas and usually they say, "why?" and want to name him/her after disney princesses and/or other disney characters.

Also, I was starting to feel little flutters which have stopped but I know for sure in 2 more weeks I won't be mistaken about what I'm feeling.

More Thrift Buys

I went a couple of weeks ago and bought a couple more things. I'm not buying anything else till I find out what we're having on March 3rd.


Again, I got most of those onesies for .10 cents-.75 cents and the sleepers where no more than $1.50, I think this baby has enough yellow so I'm going to wait to buy more.

13 Weeks

13 Weeks Pregnant

After much investigating, the babies aren't getting any cuter, actually, they got a lot uglier so I'm sticking to this one.

I feel my belly getting bigger and harder and my gap in between my 2 stomachs filling in! hahahaha I'll show you an example!

BEFORE: with pants at waist line

AFTER: With pants over my whole belly


See the difference! lol so from now on I'm gonna try to cover both bellies so that it looks like one big one. My nights are starting to get very uncomfortable and I'm barely going into my 2nd trimester. I know it has to do with my belly getting bigger so I have to move all night, the good thing is that I'm still asleep and SLEEPING but I know that'll change soon. I was also getting cramps and had to call my doctor, he said it's my uterus stretching and once I took some tylenol it was gone. I really don't remember any of this from my other pregnancies. weird.

I really need to walk more often, I'm thinking about making a family chart about our walking so that the kids can mark off the days and get excited about completing our walks.

In addition, my face is getting a lot worse, I'm praying that it gets better in the 2nd trimester b/c not only is it ugly it's painful! My face throbs with pain and sometimes I can sleep on my right side of my face cause it pulses all night from the pain. I've been sticking to my benzoyl peroxide but I'm thinking that once I reach the 2nd trimester my doctor can give me something a little stronger, we'll see.

Overall, I'm doing good. The kids are good and Naty is good. We need to go grocery shopping today so I'll be buying all of my diabetic stuff for the week. See you!
