30 Weeks

How far along are you?: 30 weeks.

Total weight gain?: This is tricky.  The scale at my house broke (not from me haha) and I weighed myself at Ryan's mom's house and her scale told me I weighed 136.5 which puts my gain at 16.5 lbs but the next day at the doctor's office their scale said I weighed 139.  I guarantee you I did not gain 2.5 pounds overnight.  So I guess to be safe we can say 17 lbs?

How big is baby?: Almost 3 lbs and the size of a head of cabbage and as long as a cucumber.  So say my babycenter emails anyway :)

Maternity clothes?: Yep!  The dress in this picture is not maternity, though.  I got it for $2.50 from Old Navy.  Holla!

Stretch marks?: Haven't found any this week.

Sleep?: Sleep sucks.  I am so uncomfortable unless I lay on my left side.

Best moment this week?: I got a manicure today and while I was sitting in the massage chair, Myla was completely motionless.  She liked it!  I know because a minute or two after the chair turned off, she started kicking around again.  I guess that means she will fall asleep pretty easily in a bouncer.

Movement?: She rolls around all the time.

Food cravings?: I would cut someone for a DQ Blizzard.

Food aversions?: Everything is tasty.

Labor signs?: A few Braxton Hicks but just every once in a while and that's normal.

Belly button in or out?: Out.  I don't even wanna talk about it :(

What I miss?: Wiiiiiiine.

What I'm looking forward to?: Having my baby girl in my arms.  Only 10 more weeks, give or take!

29 Weeks

How far along are you?: 29 weeks.

Total weight gain?: 15 lbs.

How big is baby?: Too big to fit comfortably in there anymore.  She rolls around now instead of really kicking.  No room to stretch out anymore I guess :)

Maternity clothes?: Yep!  In this picture: Shirt is Liz Lange for Target - $9.99

Stretch marks?: Not yet, dude.  Not yet.

Sleep?: My back is killing me when I wake up nowadays.  And by that I mean when I wake up for the day, not counting any of the multiple times I wake up during the night sore and uncomfortable.

Best moment this week?: Being told my belly was "perfectly round" haha :)

Movement?: Yeah she's a big rolly polly.

Food cravings?: Haven't had any.

Food aversions?: Nothin'.

Labor signs?: No... I may have had some BH earlier this week but I'm not real sure because they were so short and I was preoccupied talking to a friend.

Belly button in or out?: it's like 90% out now.  It's awful.

What I miss?: Sleeping comfortably.

What I'm looking forward to?: My baby shower is on the 27th.  I am very excited!

We are down to something like 75 days until my EDD y'all.  This is exciting.  It's literally like 10 1/2 weeks away and I'm so terrified it's not even funny.  I'm excited to meet Myla but at the same time, I'm terrified of the process leading up.  Speaking of her name, here is the final decision on the full name: Myla Ryann Sanders.  We love it!  (And yes we are aware her initials will be MRS lol)

28 Weeks?

So here we are.  It's Friday and Ryan and I have not yet taken our picture for the week (which we typically do on Mondays) so it's looking like we are not getting to it this week.  We are slackers, we know and we're sorry!  He worked late a couple of nights this week and then we had a date night the next night and totally forgot about the pic and both kind of agreed we probably were not going to be taking the picture at that point.  But I'll still update what I can! Just no picture this week, so sorry!!


How far along are you?: 28 weeks.  HELLO THIRD TRIMESTER!!

Total weight gain?: 12 lbs.

How big is baby?: Had a growth ultrasound on Tuesday to check this so I know her exact weight: 2lbs 11oz!!!  Atta girl!!

Maternity clothes?: Bought a couple more pieces this week.  Maternity clothing has such a crappy selection.  It's sad.

Stretch marks?: None thus far and crossing my fingers that it stays that way!

Sleep?: Myla doesn't like it when mommy sleeps, apparently.  She makes it her personal mission to move around as much as possible when I lay down and to basically crush my organs if I decide to roll to my other side.  So pleasant.

Best moment this week?: Seeing Myla on the ultrasound this week.

Movement?: Yes :) She is having hiccups now and it just cracks me up.

Food cravings?: All things salty are heaven.

Food aversions?: Nothing.

Labor signs?: No but sometimes I get sharp pains.  I know they're not contractions though.

Belly button in or out?: The belly button betrayal is almost totally complete.  It is almost entirely an outie now.  I'm so grossed out/sad.

What I miss?: Being able to pop my back!

What I'm looking forward to?: I mean are we being honest, here?  If we are, I miss not having heartburn so bad that I can't even lean over to do something without getting reflux.  So nasty.

And PS - anyone finding me through Pinterest, glad to see you here! Repin us!

27 Weeks

How far along are you?: 27 weeks.  This is the last week of my second trimester ahh!!

Total weight gain?: 11 lbs

How big is baby?: Babycenter says about 2 lbs now.

Maternity clothes?: Of course.  Although, the black top I'm wearing in this picture was actually purchased for about $6 at Forever21 a few years back for me to wear to work.  Because of the babydoll fit, I can still wear it now.  Success!!

Stretch marks?: Not yet.

Sleep?: It's safe to say it's uncomfortable now.  I pretty much have no choice but to sleep on my side and because of the way my body lays, I wake up just about every night with a sore hip... Which is just odd to me.

Best moment this week?: Went to a Dr's appointment last week and was told that since I dropped 2lbs she wanted to check my thyroid.  Got the results back for that today and all is normal!!  Good news!!  Now I just have an ultrasound next week to check her growth and make sure it's all on track but I am confident it will be.

Movement?: Tons.  She is a crazy woman.

Food cravings?: I'm craving sweets a bit more now.

Food aversions?: Nothing really.

Labor signs?: No sir-ee.

Belly button in or out?: It's getting to the yucky out position.  I am totally creeped out by outie belly buttons and the fact that mine is doing that... I told Ryan "my belly button betrayal has begun." 

What I miss?: Sleeping on my back!!

What I'm looking forward to?: Ryan is getting a new place soon and I can't wait to set up Myla's nursery.  Oh yeah by the way, we decided we were too excited to keep her name a secret anymore so there have it - our JuneBug is going to be named Myla!!  WE LOVE HER SO MUCH!!

And here's a flattering picture of Myla's daddy being a dork :)

26 Weeks

This post is late... So sorry!! 

How far along are you?: 26 weeks.

Total weight gain?: 11 pounds

How big is baby?: Babycenter says about 1 2/3 lbs.

Maternity clothes?: Of course

Stretch marks?: No.

Sleep?: This is the week when sleep started to get uncomfortable.  My usage of a body pillow has begun.

Best moment this week?: Hiccups!!  I felt them for the first time the night this picture was taken.  I thought it was hilarious.

Movement?: Yes my daughter parties in my womb.  Crazy girl.

Food cravings?: Not really.

Food aversions?: Nothing thus far.

Labor signs?: Nope.

Belly button in or out?: The belly button betrayal has begun.... Half in/half out >:-(

What I miss?: Having a wardrobe that consisted of more than 10 pieces of clothing.

What I'm looking forward to?: Meeting with my baby and bonding with her.

25 Weeks

How far along are you?: 25 weeks oh yeah.

Total weight gain?: 11-12 pounds

How big is baby?: Babycenter says a pound to a pound and a half, or the size of a squash.

Maternity clothes?: Yeah.  Dressin' that bump, y'all.

Stretch marks?: Nope and still hoping to ward them off.

Sleep?: Alright.  Every once in a while baby girl will lay in a position that is really strange and it's really uncomfortable and I can't sleep.

Best moment this week?: Getting a *FREE* 3D ultrasound of JuneBug at my OB appointment yesterday because I participated in a study.  It was really amazing and the medical student who was doing the US saw her and said "Wow! Look at those lips!" Haha yeah... She gets those from me.  Gotta love those Spanish traits!  When Ryan saw the picture he said she looked just like me.

Movement?: Yeah she moves around all the time, all day long.  The Dr and med student doing my ultrasound study yesterday were cracking up because every time they thought they had a good shot to take for their study, she'd wiggle around.  They told me I had an extremely active baby.

Food cravings?: Nothing really.... Gonna start an iron supplement though because I have physiologic anemia.  Yay pregnancy...  At least it's not Gestational Diabetes (I tested negative for that yesterday).

Food aversions?: Well as my heartburn gets more frequent, I need to try to stay away from pizza or other really greasy, spicy or otherwise unhealthy foods like that because when I eat them, I feel the fires of hell in my throat :(

Labor signs?: Nah.

Belly button in or out?: In

What I miss?: Drinking lots and lots of coffee.

What I'm looking forward to?: Ryan and I finding a new place to be all moved into when JuneBug gets here... We have something right now that's really exciting and if it all works out I am going to be so super happy :)

Just for fun, here's a pic I took yesterday of Ryan... In my glasses... Making a really attractive face.  Just gotta love this man.  I know I do.  With all my heart.

24 Weeks: 6 months!

How far along are you?: 24 weeks babeh. That puts me at 6 months. Wow!

Total weight gain?: Around 11 pounds

How big is baby?: Just over a pound

Maternity clothes?: Yep. I scour for sales though because I think it's dumb to spend a fortune on a wardrobe that will only fit for a few months. For example, the tank top I'm wearing in this picture was purchased for $2.97 at Old Navy. Go ME!!!

Stretch marks?: Not yet but every once in a while, my tummy itches so... I'm sure they're gonna happen.

Sleep?: My back is starting to hurt when I wake up.

Best moment this week?: This past weekend when Rhys would run around and get excited, he would run up to my belly, put both his hands on it and babble things to his baby sister. It was so cute. He would even make little faces like if she knew what he could possibly be saying. It was the sweetest thing. A couple of other times, he would come lay in my lap and put his head on my belly like he was listening for her. I keep wondering what he is thinking.

Movement?: She kicks to me and daddy's voices. So in love with that.

Food cravings?: Mexican food ALL the time.

Food aversions?: No I will eat everything.

Labor signs?: No.

Belly button in or out?: In

What I miss?: I went shooting with Ryan on our anniversary on New Year's Day and now that  baby girl is bigger and has developed ears, I have to wait until after she's born to have her daddy take me shooting again. Dang it! I really liked the feeling of shooting a gun!!

What I'm looking forward to?: Baby shower! Invitations go out this week. It will be small but that's okay. I've never been one to have a million acquaintances.
