28 weeks: 3rd trimester


I am now officially in my 3rd trimester. I have gained about 20lbs now. I am not to happy about that but I sit around a lot at work and cant do much about it. I have a vericlose vein on my rear end that hurts pretty bad and doesnt make sitting around at work any easier. I finally got maternity clothes at old navy, I love them, but I think I may even out grow them. Hopefully not. I have 3 more months to go... We havent got a chance to decorate or paint the babies room yet. But we should start soon, I have a baby shower planned with family on November 6th and with friends on November 14th. Carson kicks quite a bit, and does the hokey pokey in my stomach all night long. I like to eat a lot of cinnomin stuff, apple sauce, waffles, cinnomin toast crunch. I have been having braxton hicks contractions, sometimes they hurt pretty bad. But apperently its normal, I was seen in triage last week for that, and also I had thought my water broke, turns out my cervix released a pocket of water, it wasnt amniotic fluid.. Thank god! Anthony has been amazing, helping me out with chores, giving massages, and cutting my toe nails, he even cooks me meals and helps make me lunch in the morning, I couldnt ask for a more supportive, loving husband. I feel blessed and every day I just think I cant imagine not having him in my life. Lucian will be coming home from Texas this weekend, he is very excited and prays for his baby brother every day and asks me "are you fat yet?" he's gonna be suprised how big I am when he see's me. Im hoping to keep my weight under 35 lbs... we will see though, cause Thanksgiving is next month and then the Christmas cookies and goodies in December are coming. Anyways, Im just getting very excited to see baby Carson, and very nervous to give birth. I start my birthing classes October 11th!

6 months! 24 weeks


Seem's like time is flying so fast! I am now 6 months pregnant with our baby boy. I am growing very fast, my tummy is growning fast. I have gone from 117lbs in March to now 133 lbs in the beginning of September! Im hoping to only gain at the most 30 lbs this whole pregnancy! so we will see! I am having a bit of carpoltunnel on my right hand, some trouble breathing because he is pushing on my lungs, and having a hard time standing for a long time. Also, I am kinda emotional and cranky in the afternoon after a long day at work. And very clumsy! I have dropped my phone in the toilet twice this summer and woke up one day with my phone in my water on my nightstand. I spill every day, and have spilt 32 oz of water on myself at work and once in the middle of the night. I spill my food on myself when I eat, and I drop everything! its very frustrating!
We have decided on the name Carson for our boy! and we are going to start decorating and puting together his bedroom this weekend!
