32 Weeks




How far along? 32 weeks and 1 day
Total weight gain/loss? 26.6 pounds, yikes! It looks like Christmas and the New Year really contributed to some weight gain. I did weigh myself in the evening and normally I do it in the morning but now I'm just making excuses. I was hoping to only put on 30 pounds but with 8 weeks left to go it looks like I'll be closer to the higher end of average. At my last appointment the midwife said the baby was just above average for weight at about 4 pounds, which means I'm not having a 6 pound baby!
Maternity clothes? Yes, there is no way I can wear regular clothes at this point.
Stretch Marks? Still none. I've switched from Mama Mio to an all natural organic shea butter that my brother Matty sent me from Olympia and it is glorious! 
Sleep? I'm back to being an insomniac. It really is difficult to get comfortable when you have a watermelon attached to your abdomen, I also wake up nightly between 3 and 4 am famished, which could also be contributing to my increased weight gain this trimester ;)
Best Moment this Week? Hands down the spa break Josh's mom bought us for Christmas and my surprise baby shower after a day of pampering! The decorations were gorgeous and it was amazing to catch up with family and friends.
Worst Moment this Week?  Josh leaving for Germany, I absolutely hate being alone, thankfully I have Hobson, a warm house, and enough house cleaning to keep me busy for the next decade.
Miss Anything? SLEEP! Despite the fact that our bed at the spa hotel was one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in, I still was wide awake at 3am both nights.
Movement? Yes, although it's not as frequent, probably due to limited space. Some of the movements are really painful and others don't bother me. The midwife said he's in the correct position for birth and the body part that likes to hang out on my right hand side is most likely his knees.
Food Cravings?  Milk and juice, does that count?
Anything Make you Queasy or Sick? No, I'm feeling pretty good at the moment!
Gender? Boy
Labour signs? Just a few practice contractions here and there but otherwise nothing.
Symptoms?  Going to the bathroom every 5 seconds, heartburn lower back pain, and insomnia. 






Belly button in or out? In, the turkey hasn't popped yet.
Wedding rings on or off?  On.
Happy or moody most of the time?  Happy!
Looking forward to: Ordering the major items for the nursery.

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,
