Hey everyone! It’s time for this week’s update on my pregnancy journey! Got a big surprise for you, just re
How far along: 14 weeks pregnant! Due September 27th!
Total weight gain: Up 2 lbs. Hopefully all that is the little one’s weight and not just mine 😉
Maternity clothes: Not yet! But I feel like that day will be sooner rather than later for pants.
Stretch marks: Nothing happening yet:) But I am using a combo of old and new tricks to keep them away. The Mama Mio oil I have used with the past two pregnancies has kept me almost completely stretch mark free, so i’m sticking with it. But I am also adding in a drop of Gentle Baby and Frankincense Young Living essential oils.
Sleep: Some days taking literally a 15-20 minute nap, and that’s all I feel like I need…which is awesome. I also have had GREAT sleep at night this week- thank God. I was beginning to get afraid that I was going to sleep badly this whole pregnancy. Hope I didn’t just jinx myself! But there are some guides on natural sleep cures on sites like https://rollingpaper.com/ so if I do start getting into trouble then there are one or two things I can try if things start to go wrong.
Best moment of this week: Finding out IT’S A GIRL!!!!!!! That’s right this week is a gender reveal! The shock still hasn’t worn off, and I don’t know if it ever will- maybe when shes 16 😉
Miss anything: Cold deli meat and beer… still! I don’t think I’ll get over it any time soon 🙁
Movement: Totally happening daily now! It’s not all the time at all, mainly when I am sitting still. I told my doctor two weeks ago and she said it’s early, but that everyone and every pregnancy is different so it could totally be the baby!
Food cravings: Arnold Palmers every single day and Frosted Flakes.
Anything making you queasy or sick: nothing. A GLORIOUS nothing! SO thankful to have made it past that phase now! And I have been eating everything in sight because it is the first time food sounds awesome in two months lol
Have you started to show yet: Forrrr sure! And I know that its only going to grow every day, and I am SO happy about it! This third baby made its presence known WAY sooner than the first two! But it still does look very close to a natural tummy. If you didn’t know I was pregnant already then it might be hard to guess just by looking at me. So I think it’ll be just a little more before people notice on their own without my help.
Gender: A sweet precious baby GIRL! This is all I’m going to be talking about all week. And the week after. And the week after. So buckle up!
Labor signs: None, and hopefully none for a LONG time.
Belly button in or out: That bad boy is creeping its way out already.
Wedding rings on or off: On!
Happy or moody most of the time: So happy! So beyond happy. Like can’t stop smiling, and crying (happily), and smiling!
Looking forward to: Just another weekend with Jeremy off of work, family time, and glorious weather.
