Hello there,
I am 8 Weeks today (going by my estimation) But we have our appointment scheduled for September 11th to get an ultrasound done to find out the actual date. Since I am just guessing. There really isn't much new with us. I had my prenatal appointment today and just got asked tonnes of questions...I got my prescription for Diclectin (nausea Meds) because I somedays cannot even handle it. Yesterday was they worse for nausea...I was sick almost the whole day...thankfully no throwing up...but it is still not fun at all. Also Doctor says I need to get a whole bunch of lab work done...blood work...so yay. not. Today was also a weird day...I had a strange thing happen to me :( It's happened before when I was postpartum with Jens. Where my hand goes numb...and my tongue, and my vision goes weird like blurry. It lasted for about 20 minutes...thankfully happened when Jayden was just finishing up school, so he came home immediately. We called Health Link to get them to talk me through it...they think it is a blood pressure thing. That I should just take it easy. They didn't seem worried about it but said to mention it to my doctor at my next visit. So that was crazy...scary... My Mother and Siblings are coming later this week...so I am looking forward to their visit! Other than that...we'll see how the rest of the week goes Anyways here is the questions for the week since there really isn't anything else to update on. Enjoy. How far along? 8 Weeks Pregnant How big is baby? The size of a raspberry. 0.63 inches. 0.04 ounces. About baby? Now baby weighs in! Growing about a milimeter each day. Baby is moving those arms and legs (even though I can't feel it yet). Fingers and toes are only slightly webbed and baby's tale is gone. Baby's taste buds are now forming. Total weight gain and bump measurements: 2lbs up. Maternity clothes? I don't have a picture this week. But I have busted out my Maternity pants and a couple shirts...and am looking forward to going to Edmonton to shop for more staples. Stretch marks? None. Sleep: I usually wake up once to use the bathroom...but I do sleep amazing at the moment. Best moment this week: Going to Jarvis Lake with the family for the day! Miss anything? No. Movement: No. Food cravings: No. Anything making you queasy or sick: Pretty much anything I eat does. I get nauseous about 20 minutes after I eat. Gender: Don't know yet. Labor signs: Nope. Symptoms: Fatigue, Nausea, Frequent need to pee. Belly button in or out? In. Wedding rings on or off? On. Happy or moody most of the time: Happy. Looking forward to: Getting into a nice healthy routine. I hope you enjoyed this weeks update. I am hoping to start my Youtube video's next week...and my weekly bump shots too! So look out for those :) Thanks for stopping by! ...following my dreams... -Cynthia

Welcome to our very first Pregnancy Update...of our Third Pregnancy...we are over the moon about being on this journey again! Such a beautiful thing. We have know for a couple of weeks now...but I have been hella sick and not motivated to sit and update until now! I am still very nauseous and tired...but I can manage actually sitting and writing now. We have been thinking a lot about Baby #3 since our second Baby (Jens) turned a Year Old...and we thought what the heck...let's just see what happens...and...BAM...preggers again. So welcome to our blog...and welcome to our journey to becoming parents of 3!!!! I want to make it very similar to my posts with our previous pregnancy...in the sense of having the weekly updates of questions about how I am feeling...as well as updates on Baby's Milestones and Development...and of course baby bump pictures...cause ya gotta show that bump off...even if your not feeling very attractive at times.
Pregnancy is such a beautiful thing and not something you should feel weird or uncomfortable sharing...which is why I am here....and leads me to my next thing...I am going to start doing Youtube video's again...I am so sad I stopped with my second pregnancy, but have motivated myself to start them up again and hope to make Youtube a part of my life. I feel like putting myself out there (which I know is not for everyone) is a scary thing to do...but I know personally...it helps me to really sink deep and bring out the person I am...it makes me feel like a better person...it makes me feel like my life matters...cause sometimes in my own personal life I feel like I don't. Which is why I love to write and am excited to finally get back at it. Sorry for making this so long...I will get on with the update of our pregnancy now :) Enjoy! *basing my information on my iPhone apps (the bump & What to Expect when your Expecting) We have our very first Ultrasound booked for September 11th in Edmonton. We are unsure as to when our actual Due Date is but that is exactly why we have our Ultrasound...to find out our Due Date! But my guess is us being due April 7th, 2015...so I will go with that date for now...until we figure out the actual date. This is based on me guessing when my last period was...which would be around July 1st. We found out we were pregnant on Thursday August 7th by taking a home pregnancy test that read positive. We had a Doctor's appointment Monday August 11th and had our pregnancy confirmed. Positive...as my Doctor walked into the room giving me the thumbs up :) Hehe. The past couple of weeks have been so hard...I weaned my little Jens off the boob because I was far too tired from growing a baby and breastfeeding too. So it was super emotional for me to have to do that...and very painful...even though we were only nursing once a day. But the fatigue is seriously killing me guys....like for real...and this nausea crap...is something else...I don't think I have felt this sick through any of the pregnancies before. It's fierce. I was doing great with working out on a regular basis but because I have felt so nauseous and tired...I have kinda fallen off the wagon but hope to pick myself back up and at least work on some prenatal yoga in the evenings...I do want to keep running a couple times a week though...but now it's been a week and a half since I've gone....so we'll see what happens. I get a bit of heartburn here and there and some cramps from my uterus stretching again. I swear I am growing already...definitely not baby...but my uterus is not wasting time to stretch out again. It remembers... How far along? 7 Weeks & 4 Days Pregnant How big is baby? The size of a blueberry. 0.15 inches. About baby? Baby already doubled in size since last week. Not only is Baby's brain becoming more complex, but Baby's heart is too. Baby's developing a permanent set of kidneys. Baby's arm and leg joints are now forming Total weight gain and bump measurements: 2lbs up. (starting weight 150lbs) Maternity clothes? Not gonna lie I missed my maternity clothes and when we head to Edmonton for our Ultrasound I will be adding a couple more pieces to my wardrobe. Stretch marks? None. Sleep: I sleep great...but by morning I have to use the bathroom so bad. I can see waking up to pee in the near future. Best moment this week: Going to Jasper for the day with Family. Miss anything? Bailey's in my coffee. Movement: Nope. Just gas bubbles and baby bloat. Food cravings: Poutine (which I had today) Anything making you queasy or sick: Lol...My Husband's Lazy man chair that we got for free (used) it was super old and kinda smelled. So I made him get rid of it. Also after I eat I get really nauseous...or if I need to eat. Gender: Don't know yet. Labor signs: Nope. Symptoms: All of them. Lol. Fatigue, Nausea, Frequent need to pee, Acne (which I normally rarely get), Super emotional (literally started crying at the kitchen table for nothing one day), Super extra amount of saliva, and major belly bloat. Belly button in or out? In. Wedding rings on or off? On. Happy or moody most of the time: Happy...but very emotional. Looking forward to: My Mother coming to visit next week...so we can share the amazing news :) |
