Quick Bump Update



Just a quick 16 week update because the sun is shining over here and in England you must take advantage of every sunny moment you get!

On Saturday I had a lovely day at the spa while Josh took the boys for a hike. Unfortunately, we were unaware of how sick Cyril was when we set off. The hike was going really well until Josh turned around. At which point Cyril's fever must have kicked in because he screamed the entire one hour hike back to the car on Josh's back, nothing would calm him down. I was of course oblivious to all of this as I sipped my tiny glass of champagne next to a fire in the Wordsworth Hotel and Spa. I met the boys at Tweedies, one of our favourite pubs, as Josh finished his pint and then we made the journey home. By the time we got to our house Cyril was boiling and refused to be separated from me. I had to carry him everywhere I went until we finally settled him to bed. I should probably count my blessings as this is Cyril's first cold/illness this winter but that didn't make it any easier when I was up with him at night. He was too cute when I went into his room each time he cried though. He would put his doggy in one hand, his rabbie in the other and then reach both hands up to me and say "up" I would then pick him up and we'd cuddle in the nursing chair until he fell asleep. We repeated this several times both Saturday and Sunday night and I'm pretty tired today!

He's been very clingy towards me this week, I'm not sure if it's his illness or starting nursery or a combination of the two. Either way it is cute but exhausting and the bump isn't going to allow much more of this all day carrying.

Now on to the bump ...

Total weight gain/loss? 4.8 pounds, right on target I think. I'm exercising more this pregnancy than the last, as I was too paranoid with Cyril to do anything. This time around I'm still rock climbing, cycling, running occasionally, and doing my pregnancy videos. I just try to get in a little exercise each day in addition to our daily walks with Hobson.
Maternity clothes? Yes. 
Sleep? See paragraph above!
Best Moments this Week? Definitely my day at the spa.
Worst moment this week? Having a sick toddler.
Miss Anything? Being able to do more difficult problems on the climbing wall but surprisingly I came 12th in their competition so I can't be doing that badly!
Movement? Yes but it's still early so I don't really feel anything unless I'm in bed and even then it's pretty minimal.
Food Cravings? Fruit and juice.
Anything Make you Queasy or Sick? Still no fish and chips, BBQ, or pulled pork for me.
Gender Prediction? I want to say girl, but then I'm so set on it being a girl that I've already started adding girly things to my registry which makes me think it'll probably end up being a boy! Either way we find out in a month and I cannot wait. I'll be happy either way of course I used to only want boys but now that my grocery bill has doubled I'm beginning to think a girl might not be such a bad thing.
Symptoms? I'm just thirsty and tired all the time and my pelvis starts to bother me if I carry Cyril too much.
Belly button in or out? In 
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or moody most of the time? Happy
Looking forward to: Cyril feeling better so I can get some sleep. No big plans this weekend, Josh is away Thursday night with work, Friday with lacrosse and then won't return until late on Saturday after his game so I think it'll be a pretty uneventful weekend, just praying Cyril's separation anxiety is better so I don't have to carry him everywhere!


Chalkboards getting less and less artistic. Might need to do monthly instead of weekly updates

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,
