Twenty One Weeks!


How far along? 21 weeks and 1 day
Total weight gain/loss? 8.4 pounds
Maternity clothes? I'm wearing my favourite pair of maternity jeans in this photo, love!
Stretch Marks? Not yet, I use my Mami mio stretch mark cream every time I shower and pray that the stretch marks never show, but secretly I know it's genetic and no amount of butter, cream, or otherwise will fend them off.
Sleep? This week was pretty rough, I was very busy at work, and not sleeping well in the evening, which made me exhausted at work, and when I'm exhausted I start to get nauseous   Which in turn meant that I couldn't stomach much for dinner and would wake up starving and the cycle went on repeat for a few days. I did manage to catch up on sleep this weekend, thank goodness :)
Best Moments this Week? My neighbor telling Josh and I that we can live in her house, rent free, if our house is still a construction zone.  She is away from work the beginning of April until October of next year and even has a cradle and changing table that she is going to put in her house for us.  The only downside is no Hobson, which breaks my heart.  Still praying we can live in our own house but it's a relief to know that Baby Soper will have somewhere warm and clean to sleep if things are still really bad at our house.  We also purchased Baby Soper's first outfit, Josh picked it out and told me that he would be picking out all of his clothes, he doesn't want any cute baby blue stuff because baby blue is the colour of his rival football team, and the baby is going to be a surfer so he needs to start dressing like one early, haha.  Will post photos of the outfit this week.
Miss Anything? My warm kitchen and Aga, I love to bake and it's just not possible at the moment :(
Movement? I'm starting to notice a pattern with his movements, asleep during the day and awake all night, let's just hope this pattern doesn't become a habit when he's born!
Food Cravings?  Pumpkin spice latte, yogurt, strawberry milk
Anything Make you Queasy or Sick? Pretty much everything made me queasy last week except for yogurt, porridge and strawberry milk.  I felt car sick all week, this whole you'll feel better in your second trimester is a bit of a joke!  If I get too tired, that's it, I'm sick.
Gender Prediction? It's a Boy!!!
Labour signs? No
Symptoms?  Backache, I did manage to get a massage out of Josh though and he cleaned the bath and filled it with hot water and bubbles so I could relax on Friday night, he's a good egg.
Belly button in or out? In, but only just.
Wedding rings on or off?  On.
Happy or moody most of the time?  HAPPY!
Looking forward to: Friday, I know it's still Sunday but I sleep better on the weekends.

 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,
