31 weeks

Monday, May 9, 2016


Catching up...


how far along: 31 weeks + 3 days
weight gain: 18 lbs! happy to not have my doctor hounding me about it this time.
best moment this week: the boys took me out for mother's day and it was such a wonderful day! 
worst moment this week: not being able to button the last of my pre pregnancy pants (i know, whine whine. but they were really comfortable.)
miss anything?: getting a good night's sleep, walking in public without people staring at me
symptoms & movement: headaches are starting to come back- not surprised, as they did with beckett around this time, too. so much movement, especially before bed.
cravings & aversions: was craving shrimp for a few days, and panda express. 
things to add: we are down to single digits of weeks! we put a twin bed in beckett's room this weekend and moved the crib to the nursery. it's getting real!

25 + 26 weeks

Monday, April 4, 2016


how far along: 26 weeks + 3 days
weight gain: guessing 10 ish lbs
best moment this week: my cousin (who is one of my best friends) came up to visit us! we also got a new kitchen table last weekend, which was so exciting for me because it's our first big piece of new furniture. you know you're an adult when...
worst moment this week: hmm...i can't think of anything particularly bad!
miss anything?: sleeping
symptoms & movement: same as the past few weeks, though my headaches have died down a little bit. fingers crossed it stays that way. lots of movement, especially at night!
cravings & aversions: had a major craving for donut holes and skittles that are in the blue bag. not a big fan of meat or eggs.
things to add: i can't believe boom's arrival is about 3 months away! seems so crazy!

24 weeks

Monday, March 21, 2016
i am the worst slacker ever with these pictures lately. i missed week 22 and week 23! but on to 24...


how far along: 24 weeks and a few days
weight gain & stretch marks?: +9 lbs (i think!), still no stretchmarks. i'm going to take that part out. no one cares.
best moment this week: the weather has been a bit nicer the past two weeks, so we've gotten out for some walks and to enjoy the fresh air! we also got to hear the baby's heartbeat at our appointment this morning, always a worth noting as a best moment :)
worst moment this week: last week we were all sick with some sort of stomach virus and it was awful and i never want to revisit that ever. i also had my glucose test this morning, and while it wasn't terrible, it's not at the top of my list of things i'd do for fun. (but i passed!)
miss anything?: sleep, doing normal activities without getting winded
symptoms & movement: same symptoms as usual! headaches are getting a little better though, knock on wood. babe is movin and groovin in there!
cravings & aversions: still craving lemonade and not a fan of eggs, but nothing else comes to mind right now
looking forward to: easter this weekend!
things to add: nothing to add right now. i feel like i'm in smooth sailing mode right now! :)

Tuesday, February 23, 2016

looking forward to: warm weather

18 weeks

Wednesday, February 10, 2016
oops, i skipped 17 weeks. on to 18 :)


how far along: i was 18 weeks and a day in this picture, but since i'm a slacker, i'm almost 19 as i post this.
weight gain & stretch marks?: i think maybe +2 for weight gain, but no stretchmarks.
best moment this week: feeling some for sure movement! :)
worst moment this week: my sleep has gone downhill again, and the headaches continue on
miss anything?: sleep!
symptoms & movement: so many headaches. BUT definitely feeling kicks and thumps and somersaults in there, so fun! :)
cravings & aversions: the same- mexican, sour things, lemonade. NO eggs. do not even come near me with them.
looking forward to: kameron's birthday, spring coming early (i'm counting on that damn groundhog), and our new bed being delivered early next week!
things to add: i have had so many weird dreams about this pregnancy. i remember having a few with beckett, but these are far more strange and frequent!

15 & 16 weeks

Tuesday, January 26, 2016



how far along: a little over 16 weeks
weight gain & stretch marks?: still no idea on weight gain, my next appointment is monday. no stretch marks.
best moment this week: finally starting to sleep better!
worst moment this week: feeling sick and having 800 headaches
miss anything?: warm weather still ;)
symptoms & movement: still headaches all the time, and can officially no longer button any of my jeans. i am still unsure about movement! i was feeling beckett around 17-18 weeks, so i'm sure it will be soon :)
cravings & aversions: mexican food, sour candy, lemonade. i cannot eat eggs.
looking forward to: kameron's birthday! 
things to add: we have started working on the nursery (actually we started a while ago), and i am officially having weird pregnancy dreams.

14 weeks

Monday, January 11, 2016

how far along: 14 weeks & change
weight gain & stretch marks?: same as last time, i should pay more attention to that probably. no stretch marks.
best moment this week: kameron made me about 400 glasses of lemonade, which is my favorite thing to drink lately. and he hates making it, so i'm feeling pretty special.
worst moment this week: beckett got his first black eye and i felt terrible for a solid part of the week. glad that's behind us.
miss anything?: warm weather
symptoms & movement: i didn't feel well for most of last week and had more headaches. thought i felt something that maybe could've been movement, but i'm not positive.
cravings & aversions: craving sour candy and lemons. not craving any kind of meat whatsoever.
looking forward to: making a trip at the end of the month for a friend's baby shower! 
things to add: kam & i have decided that this baby is going to be called boom. we called beckett "boo" because he was due near halloween. this one is due around the 4th of july, so...boom it is :) i can't take credit for coming up with that, unfortunately. also, the spot where we have decided to take pictures each week has possibly the worst lighting in our house, but i am too obsessed with that wall to move.

here we go again!

Monday, January 4, 2016
looks like it's round two for us! baby k #2 will officially be making his or her debut in july! we are so excited! :)

i started taking bump pictures again at week 10, just as i did with beckett. i am doing things a tiny bit differently this time around, as making chalkboards is exhausting enough without little fingers trying to help! without further ado: the "bump"!





how far along: 13 weeks (and a few days)
weight gain & stretch marks?: no idea on the weight gain, but i would bet a few pounds. no stretchmarks.
best moment this week: having an ultrasound this morning & seeing our little babe wiggling around! 
worst moment this week: headaches & taking down the christmas tree
miss anything?: sleeping well
symptoms & movement: i was feeling pretty sick for a while, but that seems to be going away now. headaches galore, i did not miss those. no movement yet.
cravings & aversions: it depends on the day! craving sour candy and juice every morning.
looking forward to: is it wrong that i'm already excited for valentine's day? and warmer weather. 
things to add: this has been so different than my pregnancy with beckett, maybe a little sister on the way? either way, this child has already been deemed the wild one ;)
