25 Weeks


How far along? 25 weeks 
Total weight gain/loss? Still haven't weighed in yet.
Maternity clothes? Yes however it was really cold this morning and I wanted to wear my cuorderoys so I did the hair elastic trick.  See here for info.
Stretch Marks? Still can't find any, but my skin is beginning to look a bit translucent, either that or my veins are bluer than normal.
Sleep? My maternity pillow is finally my new best friend, sorry Josh.  The only complaint is that if I want to switch to the other side it involves a lot of wrestling, I basically grab the pillow and do a semi-flip in the bed which inevitably wakes up Josh.
Best Moment this Week? Swimming in the sea, sunshine, and my amazing date night on the beach. We ate at a fabulous restaurant with a view of the ocean.  We shared jamon iberico and the lobster risotto, quite possibly the best thing I've ever eaten. I even had a tiny glass of red wine that Josh picked out at the restaurant, it was exquisite :)
Worst Moment this Week?  Arriving back in Southwaite to a freezing house, I could see my breath when I walked through the door. We won't be defeated however.  It will be our 3rd winter without central heating so we're getting prepared to face the worst. Which means ordering more coal, wood, and filling our propane tanks for the portable heater we have indoors. It also means remembering to fill the hot water bottles in the evening so the bed is nice and toasty when we get in.
Miss Anything? Swimming in the sea and walking around barefoot, I also miss the afternoon naps I got accustomed to when we were in Tenerife. I'm finding it very difficult to make it through the afternoon at work which is why I've taken a break to work on my blog and drink my hot chocolate :)
Movement? Yes and they're getting more vigorous. He also responds to touch now which means that Josh and I like to play games with him. When he kicks we rub or tap my belly and he will usually kick back in the same spot. I've also been playing music for him and I think he's finally used to listening to this one song because he now moves when he hears it where as before I think he used to hide.
Food Cravings?  Yogurt
Anything Make you Queasy or Sick? Meat, BBQ food, pizza
Gender? Boy
Labour signs? No
Symptoms?  Heart burn, hip and back pain.
Belly button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off?  On.
Happy or moody most of the time?  HAPPY!
Looking forward to: Getting our new truck, we should have it this weekend but I'll believe it when it's parked in the driveway :)

Two Months

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,
