20 Weeks


How far along? 20 weeks and 2 days
Total weight gain/loss? 8+ pounds, haven't weighed myself yet this week.
Maternity clothes? Both, but my maternity jeans are way more comfortable than regular jeans with the bella band, especially when doing upholstery.
Stretch Marks? Not yet, Al Payne suggested shea butter but I'm not sure why he is the expert in this subject.
Sleep? Well it was getting better with my maternity body pillow until Josh decided to get sick.  Now he keeps me awake coughing, ugh.  I still get up in the night to go to the bathroom as well but it's funny because I go with my eyes closed and I now find myself going with my eyes closed even during the day, haha!
Best Moments this Week? Finding out we're having a little boy :)  Also, finding out that we did in fact have hot water.  The builders forgot to tell us that they hooked up an electric immersion heater so we've had hot water for 3 weeks and haven't known about it so we've been going across the street to our neighbours to shower and do the laundry!
Miss Anything? Wine, beer, Bueno y Sano!  Oh, and lest we forget a clean house.
Movement? Yes, the little one never stops kicking.  He decided to kick me repeatedly last night just as I was falling asleep, therefore I'm exhausted at work today.
Food Cravings?  Pumpkin spice latte, squash rolls, yogurt, popcorn, Bueno!
Anything Make you Queasy or Sick? Some food tastes weird and everything smells like the cat's ass, I don't get it!
Gender Prediction? It's a Boy!!!
Labour signs? No
Symptoms?  Backache, especially while doing upholstery, I'm going to stop taking major orders on furniture after Tenerife. 
Belly button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off?  On.
Happy or moody most of the time?  HAPPY!
Looking forward to: Shopping for some cute boy clothes and planning the nursery even if we don't have a room for it.

 Chalkboard idea and pregnancy questions came from littlebabygarvin.blogspot.com

Two Months

Image
I can hardly believe my sweet baby is already two months old, it's seems like a lifetime ago that I was sleep deprived, depressed, and in excruciating pain, not to freak anyone out that is about to have a baby! I've actually been meeting up with some new mums and one of the girls had a really easy labour and didn't struggle at all to breastfeed, in fact she was out and about with her baby girl 3 days after she was born. I wish I could say the same, fortunately Cyril and I have made tremendous progress since then and I have one well behaved and content baby, well most of the time. On Sunday a group of girls and I went to a friend's house for a Baby Calm Workshop and Cyril was very content the whole 4 hours, smiling and interacting for a good portion of the time, and sleeping in my arms the rest of the time. From the books I have been reading since Cyril was born I didn't feel the workshop really benefited me, especially since Cyril is already sleeping 7

Nearly Halfway There, Yikes!

Well life just seems to be getting ahead of us at the moment.  I swear I need another full day every week just to get caught up on the growing list of things I need/want to do before Baby Soper arrives. Technically I was 19 weeks last Friday but Josh and I have been far too busy, and with the nights closing in on us we had to move the chalkboard photography indoors, otherwise I would have taken my 19 weeks photo this weekend, outdoors, but then I would have already been 20 weeks! ABOUT ME How far along? 19 weeks and 6 days Total weight gain/loss? From 133 (pre-pregnancy) to 141 for a total of 8 pounds! Maternity clothes? Yes and no.  Maternity clothes are more comfortable but I still fit into some of my pre-pregnancy outfits. The skinny pink  corduroys  are a definite no no however, and so is my itty bitty bikini, which means I'll be wearing a maternity bikini in Tenerife and looking like a beached whale! Stretch Marks? Thankfully those haven't appea

Bad Ass Baby Soper

                                   VS             This Rad Hat                                These Bodysuits                          I think the decision is obvious                               While perusing several "baby friendly" websites to get an idea of what the little guy might need once he is born I came to the conclusion that cute  bad ass boys clothes are few and far between.  I would call Josh over to have a look at a few potentials, and his response was always "Eh, not really bad ass enough for our child, don't they have any surfy stuff."  I always commented about how many adorable and stylish options there were for girls but how the boys department never stacked up, I mean grown up men wear fashionable clothes and they're not all baby blue with donkeys and giraffes all over the place.  I know it's a baby, but come on people, no child of mine is going to be caught dead in this  I'm Cute Dinosaur Romper .  So I continued my search,
