Hello All, I am finally caught up on my blogging (well my pregnancy ones anyways) This is the first one that I will actually get to write on the actual day. Rather than just pulling it out of the drafts that I have been storing up for weeks now. Lol. Today I am 12 Weeks and 6 Days Pregnant. Yikes. That is crazy. The Baby is apparently the size of a Peach...imagine a peach in your hand. Isn't that insane???? This little one is growing so much. I get so exciting when I read about it's development. Especially about how small it started out. I am so in love with this little person already. I have finally reached the point where I feel pregnant and KNOW I am pregnant...Yay ;) This week was pretty awesome. We got back from Mexico on Saturday and then on Sunday we went to visit with my Family back home. We had so much fun there, I hate saying goodbye to them but this visit was short and sweet. I felt like complete crap pretty much the whole time I was there (I have a cold from Mexico...as well as my system is completely messed up from the food and flying) Traveling sucks...I've decided. Lol. It was super fun, but I am sure paying for it now. Today was the first day I actually started feeling better. I had a cup of coffee this morning and my tummy didn't for once feel like there was explosives in it!!! So here's hoping that the tummy aches are done. I cannot believe it is 2013!! How big is Baby for Week 12? The size of a large plum. That is so crazy to imagine. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!! I get to have another baby this Year...so exciting. SO much to look forward to. Anyways here are my Q's for the Week. Enjoy How far along? 12 Weeks 6 Days Pregnant Total weight gain and bump measurements: -2.1 lbs loss. Weight: 154.6 I must have lost weight being in Mexico and having this nasty cold too. 37.5 Inch Bump (2.5 Inch increase) Maternity clothes? My Maternity Shirt is from Thyme Maternity, it was one I bought during the first pregnancy. Jeans are my skinny jeans from Motherhood Maternity. Stretch marks? Nope Sleep: Still uncomfortable ;( But at least I get a full nights sleep Best moment this week: Visiting with my Family, I don't get to see them very often, so it is always awesome when I do. Miss anything? No. Movement: Not since the flight. Food cravings: Kraft Dinner and Hotdogs.

(Blog post from December 27th, 2012- 11 Weeks 6 Days Pregnant) Hello All, Well I am writing to you from Mexico. Crazy that I am sitting in +25 Degree Weather, soaking up the sun in a bathing suit and drinking way to sweet drinks (non alcohol of course) I still cannot wrap my head around the fact that this is the weather here, and it's like -30 Degrees back hom in the mountains. Eeek. Isaiah got a pretty bad fever today. Last night it started actually, so it has been a rough night. Poor little man, he get's so hot that we have to dunk him in cool water...I am pretty sure he is going to hate baths/showers after this trip is over. I am hoping it wont' last long though, and he can feel better soon. I can feel a bit of a cold coming on for myself too. I have been waking up with a really soar throat lately, so this sucks. I feel really bloated lately, and I am not enjoying the food here. Oh well it is what it is I guess. It will all be over soon. Mexico is great though, I am having fun...even though there are some trials to go along with the trip. But God is good, and he will get us through these nasty bugs. I still feel so blessed that we are pregnant, it honestly still hasn't kicked in completely yet. I feel so lucky. Here are my Q's for the Week. Enjoy! How big is Baby for Week 11? About 2 Inches long. How far along? 11 Weeks 6 Days Pregnant Total weight gain and bump measurements: Didn't weigh myself :( Maternity clothes? Yup, My Maternity Skinny Jeans from Motherhood Maternity and my top is from Thyme Maternity, it doubles as a maternity shirt and a nursing top :) Stretch marks? Nope (and I have been slacking on my bio-oil) Sleep: Yeah but I am getting more and more uncomfortable. Best moment this week: leaving Minus 25 to plus 25!!! Oh yeah Mexico. Miss anything? Ok I might have missed on of those drinks on the beach...but not really. Movement: I kind of felt the baby doing some rolling on the airplane...I remember that feeling, but I guess it could have just been my tummy... Food cravings: Just a huge slice of pizza is all. Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really. Gender: Don't know Labor signs: No. Symptoms: Crampy, Bloated Belly button in or out? In. Wedding rings on or off? On Happy or moody most of the time: A little bit moody, but mostly Happy Looking forward to: Going home and eating homecooked meals :) My 11 Week Bump (Thanks Honey for the shots) and yes my tummy does go flat at the front during my pregnancies, it is honestly the weirdest thing ever. Lol
Thanks so much for stopping by, it means so much to me. Hope you like the updates. ...following my dreams... -Cynthia (Blog post from December 20th, 2012- 10 Weeks 6 Days Pregnant) Hello all, Well we are 10 Weeks Pregnant. Yay! We are counting down the days until we go to Mexico. We actually leave to Edmonton tomorrow night and fly out really early Saturday morning. Yikes. Time is flying. Let's see what happened for week 10? I got my haircut this week :) So it was sure nice to get pampered, I Love getting my hair done. I didn't do anything crazy (I don't even have a picture to show you) because really all I did was a trim, the last time I got it cut was the beginning of August. So I was due for a good trim. I am thinking of growing it out a bit, so I want to keep the length but keep it healthy too. We also had a triple date night this week. My Dad came over to watch Isaiah while we went to Jasper (with Jayden's brother and his wife, and our best friends) so there were 3 of us couples. We went to watch the Hobbit. So awesome. I loved it, even though I had no clue as to what was going to happen. It was so nice to get out and have a date though. The popcorn was sooo yummy too. Mmmm.... As for me, well I feel great, still pretty tired, but I feel amazing. I haven't been working out like I wanted to though, so that kind of sucks. But hopefully I can get back into the swing of things. I just want energy...maybe if I can't get any I am hoping to get a good boost in the Second trimester so I can focus on working out more. Anyways, here are my Q's for the week. Enjoy. How big is Baby for Week 10? The size of a prune...wow that is awesome. How far along? 10 Weeks 6 Days Pregnant) Total weight gain and bump measurements: .7 lbs gain. Weight: 156.7 lbs (All that Christmas baking…) 35 Inch Bump Maternity clothes? My Maternity jeans from Motherhood Maternity. Stretch marks? none yet. I am still using the Bio-Oil though. Sleep: I sleep so well during the night. I am still taking advantage of Isaiah’s 2-3 hour nap during the days as well. Best moment this week: Having a triple movie night date with our besties. Miss anything? being comfortable…also not being super nauseous after I eat dinner. Movement: Not yet. Food cravings: Meat Balls and Onion Rings Anything making you queasy or sick: Eggs Gender: Don’t know. I would say girl (but it’s probably just because I really want one) Labor signs: No. Symptoms: Crampy, Bloated, Fatigue, Nausea (especially after I eat a meal) Belly button in or out? In. Wedding rings on or off? On Happy or moody most of the time: Happy Looking forward to: Feeling the baby kicks ;) I think this was a picture I took between 9-10 Weeks pregnant. Sorry I didn't have any other ones.
Thanks so much for stopping by!!! ...following my dreams... -Cynthia (Blog post from December 13th, 2012- 9 Weeks 6 Days Pregnant) Hello all, So we have made it to 9 Weeks in our pregnancy! Yay! So I decided to start doing the updates at the end of the Weeks now (so at _.6 Weeks pregnant) so today it woud be 9.6 Weeks pregnant. That way I actually have something to blog about and I can write about what I was up to in my 9th week of pregnancy rather than just saying oh well this is going to happen this week. To me this makes more sense. So my 9th Weeks was pretty awesome. We had an ultrasound this week, so I got to see our little sweet pea moving his/her arms and legs all over the place. The ultrasound was on December 12th. Now we had an ultrasound because I had a bit of spotting, nothing to be alarmed about the Doctor said everything was fine. She said some women experience spotting throughout their whole pregnancies. Yikes I cannot even imagine that, for me it was the scariest thing that has ever happened to me. But I have been reassured that it can be normal. Other than that incident I have been feeling pretty great. I get some uncomfortable cramps from time to time (but I did with Isaiah as well) something my doctor told me was from my uterus growing!!! So I am so happy things are going awesome with this pregnancy. Here's the Q's for the week. Enjoy. How big is Baby for Week 9? The size of a green olive. Getting bigger every day... How far along? 9 Weeks 6 Days Pregnant Total weight gain and bump measurements: .5 lbs gain. Weight 156 lbs. 35 Inch Bump (.5 Gain this Week) Maternity clothes? yes ;) I just bought a new pair of Maternity Jeans (from Motherhood Maternity) I actually found skinny mat jeans. They were about $50 and I am absolutely in love with them. They are the most comfortable jeans I have ever owned. Lol. Still wearing a non maternity shirt in this pic. Stretch marks? none yet. I just bought Bio-Oil though, so I am gonna put that on after showers and before bed. Sleep: I Love my sleep…and am taking full advantage of my chances to get it. Best moment this week: Having lunch with my sister and her Boyfriend…and seeing my Sister In Law and her hubs. Loving Family. Also shopping was fun too. (this was the end of last week) This week of course seeing our little Sweet pea via Ultrasound :) Best moment ever!!! Miss anything? coffee. or at least a full cup of regular coffee. I have been drinking it half decaf lately. Movement: Not yet. Food cravings: Hot Fudge and Cherry Sunday and Onion Rings Anything making you queasy or sick: No not really Gender: Don’t know. My guess Girl (I also had a dream about our baby…and it was a baby girl) Labor signs: No. Symptoms: Crampy, Bloated, Fatigue, Nausea (especially after I eat a meal) Belly button in or out? In. Wedding rings on or off? On Happy or moody most of the time: Very Happy, I am loving every minute of this pregnancy Looking forward to: Feeling the baby kicks ;) Thanks so much for stopping by

Hello there, So we are 8 Weeks Pregnant. We are off to Edmonton for the weekend to do a bit of shopping, and tell some of Family members the news.

We are in the process of figuring out what we want to do for announcing the pregnancy. We are most likely going to tell a few Family members the end of this week, but we'll see. So exciting. A few people know already, and it's funny because a lady that comes to my knitting group asked my good friend Jan (Who knows we are expecting) if we are expecting. Jan was caught off guard and asked her why she thought that. She said she sees me and just thought I might be...WOW...so we better get on telling the Family before more people suspect. haha. I am feeling great, feeling pregnant that's for sure. Nauseous, tired....oh so tired. I Love every minute of this though, it's crazy to think that I only get to experience this a few more times in my life. Lol. Anyways here are my questions for this week. Enjoy!

Thanks for stopping by, ...following my dreams... -Cynthia (Blog post from November 19th, 2012- 6 Weeks 3 Days Pregnant) Hello, So Week 6 is here. I am actually a few days over 6 Weeks. I will eventually be on the ball. I am actually really excited to document this journey. It's very exciting. I cannot believe that we get to have another baby. We are so blessed, and we realize that not everyone can even have babies, so we are so thankful that we are able to. I pray that everything goes really great with this pregnancy and that this baby grows nice and healthy. I definitely feel pregnant now, I have some crazy symptoms lately. As we speak I feel extremely nauseous....still no puking (thank Jesus) but still gross feeling. How big is Baby for Week 6? The Ebryo is the size of a sweet pea. About .25 inches and will double in size again by next week! How far along? 6 Weeks and 3 Days Total weight gain and bump measurements: -2 lbs. I lost this week. I am 155 lbs! (It's known to happen for women in the first trimester) 34 Inch Bump (stayed the same) Maternity clothes? Yes, and my wardrobe has grown. I am still wearing a lot of my pre-pregnancy clothes though, not really the maternity jeans yet either. But we are going shopping in about 2 Weeks to buy some more things I will use during this pregnancy, like at least 2 more pairs of mat pants and some mat yoga pants too. My main goal with this pregnancy is to just stay comfortable but to still feel pretty/sexy. Grey H&M Maternity Shirt (from my last pregnancy) Stretch marks? No, just the ones from Isaiah and weight gain over the Years. Sleep: I sleep amazing. When I can finally get comfortable. I find at night time, right before sleep is when I am the most comfortable and I think it is from sitting on the couch. Maybe I should start incorporating some prenatal yoga into my bedtime routine. That might help with the discomfort. Best moment this week: Watching my wardrobe grow. We are actually telling the Family this Weekend though so I am pretty sure that will take the "Best Moment this Week" prize. Miss anything? Coffee, I have cut down my caffeine intake loads. I am down to about 1/2 cup a day. I am getting used to drinking decaf, or no coffee at all. Movement: Not yet. Food cravings: Day Old Nacho's (yes you read right...gross hey?) and Pickles. Anything making you queasy or sick: Eggs, and dirty diapers. Gender: Don't know (I think it's a girl) Labor signs: No. Symptoms: Sore Breasts/nipples, Nausea, Fatigue, I can feel my uterus growing (crampy feeling) Belly button in or out? In. Wedding rings on or off? On Happy or moody most of the time: Lonely. My Hubby is at work all day. I miss my Family and I can't wait to tell everyone Looking forward to: My Growing Baby Bump! Thanks for stopping by ;) Means a lot to me.
...following my dreams... -Cynthia (Blog post from November 11th, 2012- 5 Weeks 2 Day Pregnant) Hello, Well I am so excited to write this post, because we are pregnant. Baby #2 is cooking away in my belly as we speak. How exciting. We found out Today (although you are not going to read this until I tell all of our Family and Friends) So right now it is just being saved as a draft and then will be uploaded in a few Weeks from now. I want to keep track of this pregnancy just as I did with my pregnancy with Isaiah...and more this time around because these next 8 Months I am going to be chasing around a little guy. So I need to really keep track of all of the changes so I can look back on them. I decided to take an idea from this awesome Mama I have been following on Youtube/Blogger named Anna http://www.annasaccone.com/ She is awesome. She had the cutest updates of her baby bump. So I got inspiration from her to do my updates as you will see. My Switch over day is Friday's. How big is Baby for Week 5? The Embryo is the size of an appleseed! Teeny. about .13 inches in the next week she/he will have doubled in size. Our little tadpole! How far along? 5 Weeks and 2 Day Total weight gain and bump measurements: 0 lbs (my starting weight will be 157) 34 Inch Bump Maternity clothes? no, But I will be soon, cause I already feel super huge from being so bloated ;( Stretch marks? no, some from Isaiah though Sleep: I Love sleep, and yes I still get sleep...thanks for my Isaiah who lets me. Best moment this week: Finding out we are pregnant with Baby #2. Miss anything? No not really. Movement: Not yet. Food cravings: French Fries and Gravy and Chocolate Milk. Anything making you queasy or sick: Eggs, the stinky mill smell. Gender: Don't know. (I think it's a girl...but only because I really want one) obviously I would love a boy...I would be happy with either. Labor signs: No. Symptoms: Crampy, Bloated, Fatigue, Breast Tenderness (Especially since I am still nursing Isaiah...hoping to be done soon, but he is not interested in stopping), Nausea (not all the time thank goodness...but still more often then with Isaiah) Belly button in or out? In. Wedding rings on or off? On, they are actually a little loose now because of winter, but I am sure they will stay on the whole pregnancy) Happy or moody most of the time: Happy although I have been having bursts of Moody-ness...sorry Hun. Looking forward to: Feeling those tiny kicks. Side note: so I am not showing yet...that's just baby bloat...and I am not as fit (at the weight) I wanted to be at going into Pregnancy #2. But that's ok. So yeah just thought I would point that out!
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed this post. I sure enjoyed writing it! ...following my dreams... -Cynthia |
