29 Weeks/Work Outfit

I can honestly say that I've been a bit on the lazy side when it comes to getting ready for work. But today I decided to make an extra effort, is nothing special but it makes me feel happy & comfortable when I dress up my baby bump.

Jacket/Sandals: Forever 21 (I bought it a while back)

Skirt & Top: Fashion Store (Skirt was about $11/ top $20)

I was able to capture my dear Lucas kicking away (it's only for the 1st 10 secs. & you can also hear Daniel playing Halo in the background lol) 

Week 29

Here's my progress at 29 weeks. I had my doctor appointment last Friday (7/26/13) and I was told I'm borderline diabetic, which means I'll have to take the three hour glucose exam. I'm hoping everything comes out good.

Symptoms: Lack of sleep, hip pain & exhaustion 

Queasy/Sick: Almond Milk

Best Moments: Every time I feel him move

Belly Button: Innie/Outie

Weight Gain/Loss: 20 lbs

Movements: Tons of them

Cravings: Fruits--cranberries & blueberries

Wedding Ring: Still fits

Stretch Marks: None, but I do have the linea nigra

Miss Anything: Sleeping on my stomach 

Sleeping: Ok! I wake up a lot during the night 

How far along: 29 weeks

Maternity Clothes: I haven't bought any (recently) still using my old clothes

Are you showing yet: Most definitely! 

I've also started decorating our place and of course TJ Maxx was THE place to go! I found this adorable table, lamp, basket & entrance rug. I'm still adding a few items to it but as of right now this is how it looks. I also bought this adorable bed for 'the baby' at TJ Maxx. 

                        

           

Weeks 26 & 27

The past two weeks have been busy for us. We finally moved to our new place and honestly we couldn't be happier. I must say that moving while pregnant & during the summer time is no fun, but the weather was definitely on our side because it was gloomy. I haven't been able to take any pictures of my progress but the belly is definitely growing and so far no more contractions. Lucas has been very active (which is a blessing) & we are extremely happy that we finally brought our little one home, my dear Ñoño. He was staying at my mom's until we were able to find a place where they let you have pets and he was just so happy. But a big THANK YOU to my sister and mom for taking care of him.

Symptoms: Lack of sleep, hungrier than usual & exhaustion 

Queasy/Sick: Almond Milk

Best Moments: Knowing that Lucas is doing well. No extra fluids on my uteres and I'm not dilating. Also I got to see Luca's hair, it was all spiked up just like Daniel's when he was a baby.

Belly Button: Innie/Outie

Weight Gain/Loss: I've gained 20 lbs!!!!

Movements: Tons of them

Cravings: Still fruits--I had to cut back on some of the high sugar fruits so I'm sticking to cranberries & blueberries

Ring: Still fits

Books: What to Expect--I haven't been reading that much

Stretch Marks: None

Miss Anything: Sleeping on my stomach

Sleep: Ok! I wake up a lot during the night 

How far along: 28 weeks

Maternity Clothes: I haven't bought any (recently) still using my old clothes

Are you showing yet: Most definitely!

Doctor's appointment-27 weeks

I want to thank my parents for their amazing help this weekend as well as my sister & Erin! I really appreciate your help & support. Also my husband's friend Rene for helping out as well. Your help was much appreciated!

*I'll post more pictures of our new place as we get situated because at the moment we still haven't unpacked some of our belongings. & I can't wait to start decorating the new place as well*

My Bump

As I look and contemplate how much my Lucas has grown it amazes me to know that this little guy will be joining us soon. Aside from the two big scares that I've had (early contractions) and the visits to the hospital--from cervical exams, ultrasound, verifying that I'm not dilating, that I don't have an excess amount of fluids in my uterus, it has been a pleasure and an honor to carry this little person. I honestly love him so much and I love Daniel even more for being such a great husband, companion and support system. I've compiled a set of pictures throughout my pregnancy to see how much my stomach has grown. I regret not taking pictures at an earlier stage but between morning sickness & feeling tired I never got around it. But I'm content with the ones I've taken and I can't wait for my little one to see them!

Week 25

This week has been a very warm one here in SoCal and being pregnant during summer time can be a bit harsh. It's starting to cool off a bit so that's a major plus. Yesterday I got to see my dad and I'm so happy he got to feel Lucas kick. My mom, sister and a few friends have felt his kicks but not my dad and it was priceless to see his facial expression; it made me very happy. Other than that it's been a very good week, no more contractions (other than a few ones here & there but nothing serious).

Best Moments: Seeing my dad's facial expression when he felt Lucas kick

Belly Button: Innie/Outie

Weight Gain/Loss: About 15 lbs

Movements: YES! A lot of them

Cravings: Fruits

Ring: I'm only wearing my wedding band

Books: What to expect & The Art of Breastfeeding

Stretch Marks: None

Miss Anything: SLEEPING ON MY STOMACH!

Sleep: It's been ok. I wake up my terrible back pains and I'm constantly using the restroom at night time

How far along: 25 weeks

Maternity Clothes: None, just maxi dresses that I can use later on

Are you showing: Yes I am!
