20 weeks

Sooooooooooo the news is out! We are having our third baby boy. I am so excited to be having another boysie. I just love my little guys :) We brought Nathan and Luke to the ultrasound with us, that was fun. They were making video game noises as the lady took pictures. They are excited to be having a baby brother. We decided on the name Samuel, no middle name ideas yet. :) I can't wait to meet baby Sam!

I had my 20 week appt yesterday. The Dr scheduled my Csection for April 30th. Wow, that seems so early! The Dr said it was the best time to do it though, so I will trust him. The ultrasound results were perfect, YAY! I love hearing reassurance that little Sam is doing well :)

After my last post saying I was feeling no discomfort, all of a sudden I am having a lot of pelvic pain at night. I might just be doing too much though, with Christmas coming and all. Speaking of Christmas, the boys are so excited! Nathan is counting down the days. Luke keeps saying Santa is bringing Spiderman, so I have to run go get a Spiderman guy tonight, haha. I plan on cooking and baking lots :)

Hope you all have a Merry Christmas!

19 weeks

I am 19 weeks today, hard to believe I am almost halfway done! I was just looking at fetal development sites, wow, hard to believe my baby is that big and developed already! I have my ultrasound in 2 days, I am so excited. Everyone claims I am having a girl, but I will not be surprised at all to see that we are having another boy. I will be thrilled either way :) We still don't have names picked out, but I think a boy name would be easier than a girl's to choose as of this moment.

I am still feeling sick at night (BLAH) but other than that I have no complaints. No heartburn, no discomfort, no cramping, etc. If I could just get this darn nausea to go away, I'd feel fantastic! Glad to be feeling good this time of year. I love decorating, baking, shopping, doing Christmas crafts, etc. The boys are so excited this year! I am *almost* done my Christmas shopping :)

This baby has definite opinions on food already. My favorite is a turkey bacon, lettuce, cheddar, and mayo sandwich on wheat toast. I could go for one right now! I also am loving turkey chili covered with cheese. Anything salty, meaty, and cheesy sounds good to me! Everytime I eat fast food I get sick and I have an aversion to sweets.

Next post will probably be my ultrasound update! I am so excited, I feel like a 6 year old waiting for Christmas morning. I am praying that the baby is healthy and I can put my mind at ease. I am also excited to start decorating the baby's room and picking up little baby things after I know the sex. I can't wait!

15 weeks

Hi all! I am 15 weeks now and finally feeling a bit better. My Dr recommended a combo of unisom and B6 and that is helping some.

I am starting to feel little baby flutters, it is so exciting! I have my big ultrasound in a few weeks, I can't wait. Still have no idea what sex this baby is and we are clueless with names.

I am craving carbs and cheese and have a big aversion to sweets. My belly has popped out a lot more!

The boys are doing wonderfully---just getting so big every day. I will update more later, but it is lunch time and my boys don't like to wait for their food, haha.

10.5 weeks

Oh man, I keep forgetting to update. I have been sooooo sick, so that's my excuse, haha. Seriously, this baby's name is going to be "Trouble" until further notice. I won't go into details, but let's just say it hasn't been good. I haven't had a meal in a week, just bites of random carbs like french fries and rice-a-roni and big glasses of cranberry juice and natural lemonade. Thank heavens for prenatal vitamins to give my baby the good stuff! I even had to take a raincheck on my birthday because I was so sick that day. As soon as I am feeling better we are going out for italian and a big piece of birthday cake :)

I had an ultrasound to see the little booger at 9 weeks. Bubsy kept turning his/her back and wouldn't stop moving so the picture we got is just a baby blur, haha. But it was so cool to see him/her in there swimming around! Like a perfect little baby already---all the major parts in place :) The heartrate was 171 and they moved my due date up one day to May 9th.

I am holding out until 12 weeks---for some reason I have it in my head I will feel better by then.

Boys are doing great, by the way. Nathan had a fabulous birthday and Luke is going through a language explosion, just chatting away in full sentences now!

Been a while....

Wow, it has been a while since I updated! A lot is new :)

I am expecting baby #3 on Mother's Day, May 10th. I couldn't be more excited! Since I blogged about my pregnancies with both boys, I don't want this baby to be left out, haha.

So here goes! All is well so far, just having lots of tummy troubles. I hope they don't last too long and I can get into the fun cravings part of pregnancy. I am pretty bloated already, I wonder how early I can get into maternity clothes this time around. :) I have baby fever big time, my boys are getting SO big.

The boysies are fabulous. They crack me up every day and I am so blessed to have them! Nathan is a character. Too smart for his own good, extremely imaginative, and a total pain in the patoot arguing about every single point. Luke is a total goof, can cheer anyone up, super sweet to his Mama, but never listens!

Luke loves to yell "no a baby!" when I call him my baby. Nathan spends most of his time watching Transformers, pretending to be a Transformer, building transformers out of blocks, or begging to buy Transformers. And of course Luke spends most of his time doing everything his big brother does. They are eating me out of house and home and I can foresee that only getting worse!

Things are good with me. After a few months of medical issues (kidney stones and a pregnancy loss) I am feeling strong and healthy and foresee a great pregnancy. Mike and I were doing the crossfit workouts before pregnancy left me devoid of all energy! Hopefully I will feel better and can be more active soon.

Still pursuing tons of goals--being more frugal, continue learning how to cook and bake, being more environmentally conscious in our home, becoming healthier, becoming a better photographer, etc etc etc. These are neverending goals for me, I think :)

Hopefully I will remember to update again soon! Pregnancy brain is hitting hard this time around, haha.
