Hey everyone :) We are 11 Weeks and 6 Days Pregnant! Crazy how the time is flying. Life this past two Weeks have been crazy and hectic around here. We had a bad flood that happened in our basement on the 16th. So we were out of our home and staying with my In-Laws for a couple days. We came home on the 21st so we have been home since. But we all caught colds this past week :( So I really hope we can all feel better soon so we can finally start enjoying our home again and enjoying life! Lol. I was able to keep track of this past week though so I am happy that I can finally get an update done for our 11 Weeks...since we weren't able to do a 10 Week update! I had my Prenatal Appointment on Tuesday. It went really well...everything looks great on my part. The doctor talked to me about my numbing episodes that have happened. The way she described it was basically they are Migraines with Aura. Here is something I found in an article about what it is exactly. http://www.webmd.com/migraines-headaches/what-is-a-migraine-with-aura A migraine with aura comes with additional symptoms, which often begin about 30 minutes or less before the headache. These early symptoms are called a prodrome. The prodrome or aura may last for five to 20 minutes, or it may continue even after the headache subsides. Symptoms of aura include:
This is crazy...because I have experienced some of these things before the migraine occurs. This has happened to me twice this pregnancy. The Numbness (Prickling Skin) I would say is the worse part of it....well let's get real the worse part is the deadly migraine that occurs afterwards. My Doctor told me that if this happens again...as soon as I feel numbness starting to take 2 tylenol capsules to see if we can stop the migraine from starting once all these symptoms end...(the blurryness, numbness, weakness!) This is scary stuff...so I do hope it doesn't happen to me again. This past week was a good week, even though we are all with colds right now. Sore throat, coughing and our boys have it worse I think...with snotty noses and coughing. Oh how it sucks to have children who aren't feeling great :( Poor things. It felt like Jayden was a bit more busy with School this past week as well...and of course he has guitar lessons twice a week during the evenings....so it has been busy for this Mama. But my Hubby is so sweet and let me go have a ladies movie night with my Sister-In-Law Emma and a couple friends. It was so nice to just be able to go...eat yummy snacks and actually relax and sit through a whole movie without interruptions :) We watched "The Other Woman" I thought it was a good movie :) What a wonderful way to take some Mama time though :) Anyways I think those are the biggest things that happened this week. Here are my questions for the week. Enjoy! How far along? 11 Weeks & 6 Days Pregnant How big is baby? The size of a lime. 1.6 inches. 0.25 ounces. About baby? Baby is moving a lot in there, his/her skin is still see-through, fingers & toes are no longer webbed & tooth buds, hair follicles & nail beds are forming! Total weight gain and bump measurements: 4lbs total weight gain! (down a couple lbs) 38inch baby bump! (my bump measurement also went down an inch...so maybe that baby bloat is finally going away?) Maternity clothes? Maternity Stretch marks? None. Sleep: Sleep is amazing <3 Best moment this week: Going to Edmonton with my Sister-in-Law to get shopping done...although my date with my Hubby was pretty great too though! Miss anything? Jayden had a Crabbie's Ginger Beer on our date night...so definitely one of those :( Movement: Not at all this week! Food cravings: Big ol' plate of nachos with beef on them! I was lucky enough that Open Mic Night had some there for us to order....soooo...Goood!!!!! Anything making you queasy or sick: Eggs :( Gender: Don't know yet. Labor signs: Nope. Symptoms: Headache's, Nausea a couple times this week, sore boobs! Belly button in or out? In. Wedding rings on or off? On. Happy or moody most of the time: Happy. Looking forward to: Starting 2nd Trimester!!!!!! That's it for the week. There was definitely more to update on! Hope you enjoyed and thank you so much for stopping by.

Hello all,
So there has been no time for me to sit down and write up a proper blog post for this week. I wasn't able to get any pictures this week or any video done for my 10 Week update. Just wanted to let you know that everything is ok...all is well...but we haven't been in our house all week because our basement flooded...with sewage water!!!!!! YUCK! This had nothing to do with anything we did...but most likely have happened because of a construction company working across the street from our town home complex...there were 8 of our places that got flooded. But we really don't know exactly what happened...just that it did happen. But things like this happen...thank goodness we have renters insurance! The flood happened Tuesday late afternoon and so we stayed with Jayden's parents until Sunday afternoon...our place got cleaned and sanitized on Saturday morning so we let it air out from all the chemicals/disinfectant for another night. But it was a sad situation because we had to say goodbye to a huge pile of our belongings from our basement...futon, more furniture, clothes, baby items (cradle, toys, swing), clothes, shoes...yeah the list goes on. So our basement is bare...but cleaner than it has ever been...so we are in the process of waiting for our insurance to come to price out all of our damaged belongings so we can replace them with new items! We'll be able to get new furniture and whatever else we need to replace...but boo for having this whole thing happen to us. So I am not gonna stress about trying to remember all of my symptoms and not being able to get pictures or footage because this week was crazy week. But I will be keeping track of everything for Week 11 (I am 11 Weeks 1 Day today) so look out for a post for Sunday and a video for Sunday as well! I hope you are all keeping well. After this whole yucky situation it really makes you open up your eyes to what is most important in life...cause as I was so sad to say goodbye to a lot of our belongings...in the end...they are just...stuff! My family is safe and everyone is happy...and we had my In-Laws to stay with in this whole process...you can't ask for anything more special than having your family safe at the end of the day <3 Thanks for stopping by and we'll catch ya on my next update! ...following my dreams... -Cynthia Hello all, So we went to the City last week and got our Ultrasound done...UPDATE........ Everything is going great...the tech said baby is healthy and growing and everything looks right on track! She said our Due Date is April 13th, 2015 so that makes us about a Week less than what I thought originally...not too bad for my estimations... So I am 10 Weeks Pregnant today...therefore I will do my Weekly updates every Sunday (when I will be 10 Weeks 6 Days Pregnant) Then I can really talk about what happened during my 10th Week...and so on. Anyways here is a video I just did on my haul...please bare with me as I am still learning this filming thing...I will get faster at doing the videos and learn more with editing to really trim them down...everything is such a learning curve. I hope you like it though :) Thanks for stopping by! ...following my dreams... -Cynthia Hello there, Well we are just about 10 Weeks! I am at the end of my 9th week...I have been busy this week trying to get things back to a routine and schedule around here. It was my Hubby's first week back teaching. So it's been a very slow go for me. Lol. I am definitley gonna need some getting used to not having him here so much. It's crazy how you get so used to summer and being lazy...taking things day by day, not really having plans....to...bam...summer over. I Loved having Jayden home...and now that I am so nauseous during the day it is really hard to not have him here :( But everything just needs time, soon enough we will have an awesome routine again. I started taking the Diclectin, so hopefully the nausea will pass during the day at least for me :) We'll see. I just started taking it last night and had a wonderful morning without nausea. We had a wonderful visit with my Mom, Bro & Sis. It was so nice to have them here...it was so nice to share the wonderful news about baby #3 and just to see how excited they were for us :) I love my family <3 We even managed to go to the hot springs here...which was such a treat and nice to go soak in some warm water! (Yes it was safe for me) I have been getting more into Photography...I had two shoots in the past week! :) It's nice to find something you can do as a stay at home mom...that brings in some extra money! It is so much fun learning more and more about photography as well. I still have so much to learn, but am encouraged to do that now :) I got all my blood work done earlier this week. It went by quick and it's nice that you kinda get used to it...especially being in your third pregnancy. Lol. Doesn't even phase you anymore. That weird blood pressure body numbness thing happened again this week. I called my doctor and made an appointment for a couple weeks from now...so I am anxious to find out why this has been happening to me. (I talk about more of the details in my Week 8 update) Anyways not really much else to talk about so here are my questions for the week :) Enjoy! How far along? 9 Weeks & 6 Days Pregnant How big is baby? The size of a green olive. 0.9 inches. 0.07 ounces. About baby? Baby is no longer an embryo, she/he's a fetus! Baby is developing more distinct facial features. The heartbeat may be strong enough to pick up by a fetal doppler. Total weight gain and bump measurements: 6lbs total weight gain! 39inch baby bump! Maternity clothes? My top is from Thyme Maternity (best part is...I bought this with my first pregnancy) It is so cozy and perfect for this snowy day outside! My pants are from Motherhood Maternity and I bought these during my second pregnancy. So nice to reuse some of my clothes :) Don't mind the hair...it was a no shower day today...because I didn't wake up early enough! Stretch marks? None. Sleep: Wake up once a night. Best moment this week: Doing 2 Photoshoots :) Miss anything? No. Movement: No. Food cravings: No. Anything making you queasy or sick: My prenatal vitamins sometimes. Gender: Don't know yet. Labor signs: Nope. Symptoms: Fatigue, Nausea. Belly button in or out? In. Wedding rings on or off? On. Happy or moody most of the time: Happy. Looking forward to: Our trip to Edmonton to see baby via ultrasound and spend the day with hubby with no kiddo's :) That is it for this week. Thanks for stopping by. "Has anything scary happened to you during pregnancy? What did you do to cope?" Let me know in the comments below :) Have a great week! Go watch my pregnancy vlog down below. I am now doing my youtube channel again! So there will be more to come during this pregnancy! ...following my dreams... -Cynthia Finally. I can shout it to the world. We are pregnant....again...a precious sweet little person is being formed inside of me as we speak! We are certain we are due April sometime...we have an ultrasound in Edmonton this coming Thursday to find out the due date for sure. We are over the moon excited. I LOVE being pregnant. Even though this time around...I am...so...SICK! I have never felt this nauseous in my entire life! Such a huge change from the first two pregnancies! Anyways I am looking forward to doing weekly blog posts...and I am adding in youtube video's again this time around...so sad I didn't with Jens' pregnancy...therefore I AM doing it this time around. I LOVE looking back on the updates I did with Isaiah....I wish I was more consistent and did them every single week with all my pregnancies...but life does get in your way...especially when your out on the couch for most of the day cause you feel like you can vomit at any moment. Anyways...look out for more updates from our family...and I will leave you with this amazing video Hubby and I made for announcing baby #3! Enjoy! ...following my dreams... -Cynthia |
