Hey y'all! I hope everyone's week is going well. I went to see my doctor yesterday for our weekly visit and everything looks good! So my week is going very well so far. Happy baby, happy mommy!
I'm 24 weeks as of this past Monday. Baby should be measuring about 13 inches long and about 1.5 lbs. When he measured my belly yesterday I was 26 cm, which is good because you're suppose to be a cm for each week you are pregnant. So technically I'm ahead of the game haha!
Speaking of how big our little boy is, I just noticed on my Ovia pregnancy app that they now have the option to change what they equate your baby's size to. Usually it's fruits and vegetables, but they now have the option of fun and games, weird-but-cute animals, and Parisian bakery. So he's now the size of a....
This would be the Parisian bakery theme!
Fruits and vegetables!
Fun and games! If a G.I. Joe came out of me I'd be slightly frightened to say the least.
Finally, weird-but-cute animals! I wonder how the puffin feels about that distinction? Definitely a backhanded compliment to me!
I've been feeling pretty good. I'm tired a lot(big surprise), my indigestion has picked up a little, and I'm noticing a few more stretch marks. But if that's all I'm dealing with, I'm happy! I did have another time when I went to see my doctor before my scheduled appointment last week. Everything turned out fine though. I was super shocked when this week's appointment rolled around and I hadn't been to the doctor before my scheduled appointment. Another win! Don't get me wrong, I love my doctor, he's so nice and never is bothered by my coming in before my appointment even though I see him weekly. But no one wants to go to the doctor twice in a week.
Here's the bump at 22 weeks and 5 days on July 18th!
Here's the bump again at 23 weeks and 4 days on July 24th!
While I was writing this it hit me. My last appointment with James was at 25 weeks. At first I thought it was at 24 weeks, but it was 25. I had an appointment with the specialists, they released me, I saw my doctor after, everything was fine. I was measuring 2 weeks ahead as well. I have an appointment with the specialists and then my doctor afterwards next week. 25 weeks. It's hard not to be uneasy about different points and dates in this pregnancy. All I think about is getting pass 29 weeks. Every week feels like some sort of countdown to 29. It's still hard to believe that's all the time I had with James. I'm very hopeful about things but it's still a struggle to remember that I'll have more than 29 weeks with this little one. This is my second pregnancy but in many ways it's like I was never pregnant before. Sometimes it just feels like one long pregnancy. This journey hasn't been what I expected from motherhood at all so far, but then again I guess motherhood has a lot of surprises, both bad and good. In spite of all the fear and worry though, I'm incredibly excited to meet our second child. Not a day goes by that I don't take time to remember how blessed we are to be having a second child.
On a lighter note, I think I felt my first ever baby hiccup last week! I had never felt any with James. Then I was talking to my friend who's like 37 weeks and she was talking about funny it feels and I asked her to explain it to me. Well baby must have heard because about 20 minutes later he had a little hiccup. So funny!
That's about it right now. Thanks for reading y'all! Don't forget to 'like' my Facebook page and 'follow' me(on the right side of the page) as well!
Hey y'all! I hope everyone had a great weekend. Well I haven't done a Mondays With Mother in a while, so I thought it was due. Here's just a few amusing things my "mother" has said lately.
"Mother" and me at Nags Head back in May.
Me: "Can you turn it up?"
Mother: "I can't get my chocolate out."
(Okay then, not really sure what that has to do with the volume being down, but whateves.)
Mother: "It makes me crazy!!!"
(Taking her necklace off. Taking her necklace off makes her crazy.)
Mother: "Do they still have throwback Thursday?"
(I then had to explain to her that it's not like a television show like it can get cancelled.)
The other day we were about to get out of the car and go into Walmart. "Mother" usually has a waffle with her to keep her blood sugar level. Well I put the waffle on the dash as I get out and she tells me to put it in my seat. I ask why? She says:
Mother: "I don't want people to see I have a waffle. They might break in."
(Because every time I see a waffle in a car, I think to myself "man, I need to break in and get that waffle. Maybe I can sell it on the black market!")
Mother: "I'm going to get this, but I don't think you should have any."
(Is that what we're doing now when we get food from the store? If I knew that's all it took to have doughnuts to myself I would have done that years ago!!!)
Mother: "Be careful when you walk, always."
(Well this is actually good advice.)
This one is from a little while ago.
Mother: "What are you doing?"
Me: "Oh I'm looking up recipes on Pinterest to make your own baby food!"
Mother: "So nothing right?"
(Alrighty then.)
Mother: "What are you doing here without Dorinda?!"
(Okay so it's not really something my mom just said. It's from The Real Housewives of New York haha. My mom loves it, I'll watch it occasionally. But this has got to be the funniest line ever. Everyone in our house has been saying this for about 2 weeks. Yes we don't get out much.)
Here's a clip of what my "mother" was quoting! It's worth the 4 seconds to watch it.
I hope y'all enjoyed hearing about my "mother". Have a great Monday y'all!
