Third Trimester!!!

"Mommy can you feel me I'm wiggling for you! I can hear you say you love me, mum I love you too! Very soon you'll meet me and kiss my little face. And I will feel your warm skin and admire you for your grace. Mommy are you ready my life is just about to start. I will hold your finger but you will hold my heart!" Unknown

I am in the third trimester!!! Finally! Well I shouldn't say finally it is going by soo fast! Here is my most recent picture taken today! 31weeks!!! 

Only 63 more days to go give or take a few lol!! I am feeling awesome and having this little baby growing inside of me is the most amazing feeling in the world! Every kick and roll puts a smile on my face I couldn't ask for anything more in life right now! 

This little baby has taken a huge piece of my heart and I totally understand now why people say you can't explain what its like. Don't think that if you read a book about pregnancy you'll be ready for all it's up's and downs. No one can prepare you for what your going to go through no one can predict what it will be like. I'll tell you this no book or person will probably even tell you the truth! Lol.

My last ultrasound was at 29wks! It amazes me how much the baby changes every time! :)

Cute dont you think?! We still dont know if it's a boy or girl we still wanted it to be a surprise! I cant wait to see this little bundle of joy! I still cant believe that I have been blessed with such an amazing gift!

Baby Bumps!!

"I am not alone while running errands and talking on the phone, I am pleasantly reminded that I am not alone.

Little tiny hands a precious rounded knee pushing and twisting that no one can see.

Oh sweet child kicking up your heels, it is our little secret that only I can feel.

I look forward to your birth when I can kiss your skin, but for now ill just smile as I feel you play within!" Unknown

Baby Bump!!! 

Ive been taking baby bump pictures once a week since 13wks! I'll share a few so you can get an idea of how big I've been getting! 

13wks

 15 weeks!

 22 weeks!

 27 weeks!

I love every bit of being pregnant! It is the most amazing thing I have ever gone through! And getting bigger is so awesome to! I wondered in the beginning how I would feel about my body changing but I really dont mind! Yeah I am a little insecure about it and worried I wont be able to lose the weight after but I will deal with that when the time comes for now I will just enjoy it! :D

I will take more pictures once a week and keep you guys posted on the progress!! I think I'm growing faster then I should due to the fact that this technically is my second pregnancy although my first ended in Miscarriage.

Current Symptoms...
Migraines. Yup still got those. They are slowly going away. Some weeks they are really bad and I have them pretty much on a daily basis but some weeks not so bad. Like this week I have only had one (Which just so happens to be what I am dealing with today). I am going to try message therapy and see if it helps at all! If not at least it feels good right! :D 
Tired. This still has not gone away and it actually seems to be getting worse. I try and be in bed by 8:30 - 9:00 every night but that still doesn't help and if I don't get at least 8 hours of sleep I am so short with the kids the next day.

Official announcement!!

"Twinkle Twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are. We hoped and prayed it would happen some day, and oh we are pregnant by the way!!" Unknown

Well we made our official facebook announcement! Cute eh?! Everyone is super excited for us! :D We decided it was about time as I had my third ultrasound yesterday and everything went well and I am just over 12wks so out of the "danger" zone! 

My Ultrasound was a screening for downs and everything came back really good! Baby is super healthy and was kicking like crazy!! Heart rate was also up to 177bpm!!! :D Loving our little one so much already! :D

Side note! We got our building permit so we can officially start the basement and once it is done that means we can start the nursery!!! :D 

Current Symptoms...

Migraines- This seems to be the most frequent and annoying symptom I have. My maternity Dr said if it gets really bad she will send me to a specialist. At my last appointment I told her we could still hold off on that. But the last few nights they have been so bad that I have a hard time sleeping cause I am waking up in pain. :S I think its time to take her up on the offer! 

Tired- Yup still tired. They say this goes away in the second trimester but that hasn't happened yet.

Dr. appointment Yesterday went...

"Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and focus on what could go right!" Unknown

  

Had my appointment with my new Dr yesterday! Everything was going really well she was asking me a bunch of questions and then she got to my pregnancy history. I had to tell her about my previous miscarriage and that I found out at 8 weeks but opted out of a D&C and my body held onto that pregnancy till I was about 12 weeks. Right away she asked me if I would be interested in getting an ultrasound this week, of course I said yes! But she then said well lets try and find the Heartbeat first (knowing I have a doppler at home and have found the heartbeat before). She could not find the heartbeat she actually could not hear anything!

This freaked me out and she could tell just by looking at me so she booked me for an ultrasound for today at 2:30. I felt like my whole life was about to come crashing down. I was so scared driving to that ultrasound I did everything I could not to cry.

I went into my ultrasound so nervous. And to top off how nervous I was because it was not planned John had no time to get it off work (which I totally understand) so I went alone. Oh and I had to pee soo bad I thought I may pee my pants! The ultrasound tech said my bladder was so full I was squishing the baby and asked me to go pee, 3 different times, till I had emptied it enough lol. She found baby measuring 10wks 3days! So due Oct 19th!! As well as a VERY strong heartbeat beating away at 157bpm! :D Such good news today!! They also gave me a picture to bring home to John! :D 

So I have decided that I need to try and chill out and stop thinking something is wrong all the time. This baby is here and here to stay! Plus I am almost out of the first trimester!!! :)

Oh and to add to all this awesome news I am starting to feel awesome too! so.... 

Symptom Update...

Tired- Yes still very tired always tired lol.. 

Irritable- John keeps saying he is pretty sure I am crazy lol. No crazy just pregnant! :D 

Headaches/Migraines- The maternity Dr has sent in a requisition for me to be checked out for my migraines and headaches so hopefully I get some answers!!
