Baby #3 - 22 weeks pregnant

We are officially past the halfway mark and I am feeling large lately! I am hungry all. the. time. Non-stop, cannot get full. Of course, I'm not craving vegetables either, just lots of sweets and carbs. I'm trying to make better choices, but it is so hard!

Size of Baby: A spaghetti squash....11 inches long and 1 lb.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I go to the doctor next Friday, but let's say 5-8 to be safe :)

Maternity Clothes: For the most part, that's what I am wearing, but I am getting away with a few non-maternity dresses which has been nice.

Gender: Surprise! Daniel is leaning really strongly towards boy, some days I think boy and others girl.

Movement: This baby doesn't stop!

Sleep: Struggling this past week. Not sure if it's just stress from work, or pregnancy.

What I miss: Wine

What I am looking forward to: planning to go through old clothes this weekend and see if I have anything gender neutral from the girls. Daniel also has the crib set up already and I plan on finding the one set of gender neutral sheets we own.

Cravings: Carbs and sweets. Not really feeling protein again.

Symptoms: Lots of acid reflux at night. I take Tums nightly before bed.

Best Moment This Week: The girls kissing my belly goodnight. They've started doing that and it's so sweet.

Five on (Sun)day

Welp, I missed five on Friday this week, but I'm here on Sunday for to make up for it :)

__one__ My favorite shopping day of the year, Prime Day, will be here July 16th! I love everything about Amazon, and enjoy my free 2 day shipping year round with my Prime membership. Last year, all shoes were 30% off and I got the girls their favorite SunSans sandals and Natives shoes at a rare discount.  If you aren't a Prime member, you can get a free 30-day trial if you've never done it before!

__two__  I can't believe I'm halfway along my pregnancy with baby #3. This pregnancy is flying by, and I'm trying to soak up the sweet kicks (and wicked heartburn) as much as I can. You can check out my 19 weeks update HERE.

 

__three__ We treated ourselves to brunch this weekend at First Watch. I'd never been, but it ended up being super yummy and the girls ACTUALLY ATE THEIR FOOD which was a huge miracle.

 

__four__ Caroline has become obsessed with having long hair, so against my better judgment I straightened her hair the other morning before school on a rare day that we had some extra time. She looks like a completely different person with her hair straight!

 

__five__ I'm realllly trying to avoid additional stretch marks this pregnancy, so I've been religious about putting lotion on my belly at night. I've just been using this Nivea moisturizing cream, but does anyone have any tried and true suggestions? 

Baby #3 - 19 Weeks Pregnant

 

We had our anatomy ultrasound this past Thursday, and baby checked all the boxes and looked great! We stuck to our original plan and didn't find out the gender...it seems to be driving everyone in our families crazy, but we are really content with our decision.We did a fun facebook announcement after the anatomy ultrasound looked good with the girls, and I can't get over how stinking cute they are.

Size of Baby: A mango...at the ultrasound baby was measuring 9 ounces which is right on track!

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Only two pounds. I was up five, and then got a terrible stomach bug this past week and apparently lost some weight. I have no doubt I'll bounce right back from that.

Maternity Clothes: In full force! One of my coworkers gave me a TON of her old maternity clothes, which has been so awesome since I sold a lot of mine from when I had the girls.

Gender: Surprise!

Movement: Tons and tons of movement now. This baby is super active and doesn't stop much.

Sleep: Back to sleeping soundly. I am cherishing this while it lasts.

What I miss: Wine and sushi.

What I am looking forward to: Doing some more gender neutral clothes shopping

Cravings: Still sandwiches, like all the time. Carbs. Fried food. Everything unhealthy for me.

Symptoms: I'm starting to get in that sweet spot where I feel pretty good. I do get physically tired more easily, but I've also been working on unpacking our new house (update on that soon!)

Best Moment This Week: Seeing sweet baby at the ultrasound.
