29 weeks!

29 WEEKS
Total Weight Gain: Still Just 8 pounds!

Maternity Clothes? Nope. Hopefully not going to buy anymore for myself and start buying more and more stuff for her room!

Stretch Marks? Not yet although my belly has been extremely itchy! Growth spurt maybe?

Fruit/Veggie Size: The CUTEST Butternut Squash you've ever seen :)

Sleep? I am doing better with sleep. My preggle is a life saver!

Best Moment this Week: David took me to Glendale Glitters! I had so much fun and I even got my beloved caramel apple! We brought along David's younglife guy, Titus, which was a fun addition to the night out! I loved the vendors and even got to drink some yummy hot cocoa. By the end of the night, I was ready to head home but I still had a blast! Thankful for sharing holiday cheer with friends :) 

Miss Anything? I really want to take this question out because the only things I can't do while pregnant is drugs and drink alcohol...I don't miss either of those things because I never used them! Sometimes i forget I'm pregnant because I feel really good and my appetite is that of a hungry grizzly. The beginning of the third trimester is actually smoother than the second! Maybe this will dramatically change in the next few weeks, lol!

Food Cravings: Paradise Bakery Salad, Wildflower Bread company's Potato soup, Chipotle burritos, Pineapple smoothies, carrots and broccoli, any fruit, frosted flakes, and laughing cow cheese! These are all usual things I eat through out the week!

Food Aversions:  I want to punch whoever invented relish or sweet pickles. They make pickles (my favorite) look bad! They are suppose to be sour NOT sweet. Sweet pickles are the worst invention ever!

Symptoms: Itchy belly! This is something that bothers me a lot! Also, I have a "linea negra" now  which is a dark vertical line down the tummy.   

Belly Button: I don't think it will pop out but I do think it's becoming more and more flat!

Happy or Moody? Really happy this week! A lot of patients and visitors at work want to talk to me about my pregnancy which makes me feel special since I'm not used to the attention. I ALWAYS want to talk about my sweet baby :) Lots of friends have been able to feel kicks as well, and it just makes me the happiest girl alive knowing that my baby is growing and healthy. Thank you Jesus for my little bundle of preciousness! 

Nursery Progress: Nothing new here but I am going to start on it this week which excites me so much!

Looking Forward to: Spending Christmas with my family! Cannot wait because we are celebrating with the whole family which is a ton of people! Love the holidays!! Christmas is my favorite. Amen!
I'm just so thankful and humbled by God. He is my peace and comfort in needy times- In this crazy messy world He is my still water. Thank you Jesus for being my constant source of refreshment. Continue to empty me so that I can be filled with YOU.

20 Weeks!

20 Weeks Little Bean: So my baby is not a bean at all, in fact, he is the size of a banana right now and I love these little comparisons because it allows Gracie to really connect with baby and visualize the growth. When we had our anatomy scan on Monday, the guy told us that the baby is measuring 1 week ahead of schedule and he is a whole pound now. Right now, the baby is able to swallow and is producing baby poop (meconium) so there's that! Symptoms: I am getting my energy back but I am still getting sick each and every morning. It was the same with Gracelyn so I'm not surprised. I can't even remember when the nausea subsided last time. The good thing is that it's only in the morning and then I'm fine for the rest of the day as long as I keep snacking and don't let my stomach stay empty for long. I swear I am feeling Braxton Hicks already which is so crazy to me! Every once in a while my belly gets as hard as a rock which I also don't remember fr

26 WEEKS

26 Weeks Total Weight Gain:   Total of 5 pounds! I got weighed when I had my check up on Tuesday and I gained 3 pounds since last week! I wonder if it made a difference that I had my shoes and jacket on ;) Maternity Clothes?   Thanks to my cousin Jami, I now have more maternity clothes! Couldn't be more happy! Now I have a few more things to wear! I now have a total of 6 pairs of maternity jeans/pants! Stretch Marks?   Not yet! Sleep?   My preggle is a life saver! The preggle even allows me to sleep on my tummy! It is so relaxing and so comfy since I'm not putting any pressure on my belly. Best Moment This Week:   Normally David and I meet every Sunday for church but this past week, we actually got to go together which was a nice change. :) After church we ate lunch and walked around the mall. It was fun being able to just hang out together. We didn't even look at any baby stuff while at the mall, we just enjoyed each others company!  Miss Anyth
