34 Weeks


                               

How far along? 34 weeks exactly in this photo, although I'm posting at 34 weeks 3 days :)
Total weight gain/loss? 28 pounds, the baby is measuring in the 90th centile and weighs approximately 5.5 pounds, and I've been asked if I'm having twins, haha!
Maternity clothes? Yes and no, the pink dress is from asos maternity and is unbelievably comfortable, the tan sweater is from Anthropologie and because it's a cardigan it fits perfectly. It is also beyond comfortable, it's a sweatshirt on the sleeves and back with knitting on the front so it's super soft and warm.
Stretch Marks? Nope, although my belly has started to get itchy.
Sleep? Amazing until the last 2 nights when I woke up to excruciating pain when I was sleeping on my right side. I'm not sure if the pain is practice contractions or Cyril karate kicking me because I'm laying right on top of him. He likes to curl up on the right side of my belly so when I sleep on that side I usually get a few kicks. Unfortunately the pain has been so bad that I can only sleep on my left side, argh!
Best Moment this Week? I would say the maternity photography we had done but it rained and was freezing so we were all relieved when it ended ;) Therefore, my favorite moment this week was walking Hobson on the beach while Josh surfed with 2 of his new friends. I just love being on the beach, even if it's not as warm as California, it's still beautiful. We also had the best fish & chips since I've moved to England afterwards, so yummy, and Cyril got a healthy dose of Omega 3 finally!
Worst Moment this Week?  Having to pose in the rain for photos! I was determined not to let the weather get the best of me though. It rained on our wedding day and because I was so concerned about the dress getting filthy I missed out on some amazing shots, this time I decided that even if the dress was covered in mud I would persevere because I could always wash the dirt out. I've only seen one photo so far but I absolutely love it and guess what, all the mud came out of my dress very easily!
Miss Anything? Sleeping on my right side, having a flat stomach, and you guessed it beer!
Movement? Yes, the day after Morgan left I felt like I had an alien inside me, he literally didn't stop moving all day, I couldn't believe it. Morgan and I prodded him to no avail and the second she leaves he decides it's time to have a full on dance party.
Food Cravings?  Chicken wings
Anything Make you Queasy or Sick? No, I'm feeling pretty good at the moment!
Gender? Boy
Labour signs? I'm not really sure, I thought I was having practice contractions but then a girl at yoga explained hers to me and I decided that what I've been feeling is probably just my belly stretching to accommodate our little monster ;)
Symptoms?  Frequent bathroom trips, heart burn, pelvic girdle pain, and I'm constantly thirsty!
Belly button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off?  On.
Happy or moody most of the time?  Happy!
Looking forward to: Paris and meeting our little boy in 5 weeks!

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,
