Third Trimester with Baby #2


This trimester consists of weeks 28-40


How far along?  
38.5 weeks 

Maternity clothes?
Yes 

Stretch marks?
Nope, I was blessed with stretchy skin I guess!!

Sleep?
Not the best sleep ever, but I am getting some. Some nights it is hard to breath when I lay on a certain side.
my hips and back are really starting to hurt throughout the night, which makes me start to toss and turn.
 Naps are a must every day now.

Favorite moments?
When Liam will come and kiss my tummy and give sister hugs.
Eating whatever I want because it is the only thing that makes me feel better. 
haha

Moments you will not miss?
The continual jumping and pushing on of the bladder.
The violent kicking of the ribs and stomach.  There have been times she has made me scream!
Having to pee every hour on the dot!
the constant uncomfortable feeling
waking up every2-3 hours to pee in the night.
Being extremely tired all day.
Sleeping with a million pillows for support.
the constant hiccups.

Miss anything? 
Sleep.
Walking normal.
Working out.
Normal clothes.

Movement: 
Still moves constantly! It would probably be easier to keep track of the times she didn't move.
And when she does move it is so violent and hurts so bad.  My bladder stings and my ribs start to hurt.

Babies Position:
Head is way way down!! I am pretty sure that if my water were to brake she would just come flying out!!

Food cravings: 
Still crave fast food and Taco Bells crunch wrap supreme!
My pop craving has gone up also.  I am wanting diet dr. pepper though. which I normally drink coke zero

Anything making you queasy or sick?
Only if I over eat or have to much sugar.

Symptoms?
Went to the doctors on Thursday, April 27th(2 weeks before due date).  She checked me and said I was dilated to 3cm and 70% effaced, so my cervix is very soft and favorable.  
Crazy to think she really could come at any moment.
My mucus plug has come out(on Saturday April 29th), so I really feel like she could be here in a few days, but babies like to ruin our plans so she probably wont come till after the due date.

*My last appointment was Wednesday, May 3rd(one week before the due date) and I have progressed to 4cm dilated and 80% effaced.  She said I was an excellent candidate to be induced, so we set the date for that Friday(May 5th).

Belly button in or out?
Flat with my belly right now, so kind of neither.

Wedding rings on or off?  
on

Happy or moody most of the time:
A lot happier now.  Probably because she really could be here any day now!

Looking forward to: 
Holding her.
Seeing Liam with her and how he will respond to everything.
Seeing Michael with a little girl!

 
 


The picture on the left is me pregnant with Liam exactly 2 years ago and on the right with Macey.
I cant believe how much bigger I was with Liam a week before my due date.

We took some final photos as a family of 3 and just of mommy and Liam.  I cant believe he will no longer be the only child!



Towards the end of the shoot, Liam was so ready to be done haha

THE FINAL WEEK

How far along?    39 weeks We are in the final week ladies and gents!! Maternity clothes? Only a few shirts  and a dress. Other than that I just wear leggings, dresses, and some of Michaels shirts. Stretch marks? Not a single one thank goodness! When I was in school I learned in my  Anatomy  and Physiology class that if you start putting on shay butter/coconut oil(I used the Palmers cocoa butter and sometimes add my 100% coconut essentials oil.) two months before getting pregnant, that it will help your skin loosen and become more elastic.  So once we decided to start trying I  immediately  got some lotion and put it on every other day(or you can put it on everyday).  I know that, that is what helped me not get any stretch marks. I cant  guarantee  it will work for everyone, but what I do know is that if you don't start lotioning your skin early, it for sure will not be ready for the  drastic ...

Kicking our summer off right.

Summer is officially here! My favorite season has finally arrived. There is no better way to celebrate the first weekend of summer then camping! Michael and I love camping. Their is just something about campfires, sleeping under the stars, and s'mores  that get me excited to camp. This weekend we camped in Provo canyon with some friends that are going to BYU. Once we got camp all set up and the fire going this little guy decided to pay us a visit. Not going to lie I thought it was a bear sneaking up on us at first. I was scared out of my mind, but then he stuck his head up and I felt a lot better. After making some yummy s'mores and relaxing by the fire we got in the cars and headed to squaw peak to  look at the beautiful lights from on top of the mountain. You can see all of Utah Valley from up there. Everyone knows that if you are looking to get a goodnights rest  that camping is not what you want to be doing. ...
