Hey everyone, So I am 15 Weeks & 5 Days Pregnant today! We are actually moving tomorrow...so I unfortunately don't have time to sit and write a full update for you...or time to film my 15 Week update. I just don't want to add another thing to my list of things to do for this weekend! I am hoping we can get settled really fast at my In-Laws house so I can get back to the swing of things for next weeks update! Everything is going great though I am healthy & happy and baby seems to be growing! See you in my next update. Have a great Weekend everyone! I will leave you with this picture of my cute little bump though. Happy Halloween everyone! Enjoy your festivities this upcoming week!

Hello, Well 14 Weeks have come and gone. I am already in my 15th Week of this pregnancy. Cannot believe it. I am getting to the stage where there is NO hiding this bump now. Lol. Not that I wanted to hide it anyways...but it's past the point of being all baby bloat...and now has reached the stage of a very noticeable little bump now. Crazy how this little person growing in there is the size of a lemon....a LEMON!!!!! Also this past week was my first Week in the second trimester! This makes me so happy! I honestly feel amazing and couldn't ask for such an amazing shift in how I feel...it sucked being so nauseous all the time :( But it seems like that stage has past for a couple weeks now. What's new??? Well we have been busy packing and cleaning and organizing our belongings...sorting what is coming with us to our parents house...and what is being stored at my Dad's. Crazy that this move is going to happen in the next Week or so....we are so excited to start this new chapter...this new journey of saving as much money as we possibly can to get into a house of our own! I talked a little bit about it in my last update. But we are moving back in with Jayden's Parents, so that we can save for our down payment for our first house! This is BIG. We are ready to take this challenge on! Jayden had a very busy work week, he normally has guitar lessons (that he does in our basement) Tuesday's & Wednesdays. But this week he also had Parent Teacher Interviews as well...so he has been gone a lot. So on Friday night I got to sneak out and have a girls night out, so that was nice to be able to just relax and have some girl time. But the lucky lady I am we also got to go out on a date on Saturday night...just Jayden and I, went out for dinner then drove around and drooled over some houses on the market right now! Great ending to the week! Some symptoms for Week 14... -I have been very tired recently...the fatigue has hit me so hard. There have been a couple times I needed to just take a nap during the day cause I literally ran out of energy. I am thinking this has a lot to do with moving...cause I should be getting more energy as Second Trimester has approached! -I have been getting a couple headaches this past week as well, although they are nothing compared to the migraines I was experiencing before. I don't even have to take any tylenol for them cause they go away pretty fast or are just very mild. -Burping has been an annoying symptom this past week, it will happen out of the blue...it's Gross! -Hunger is a huge one for this past week. It is crazy and hard to explain how hunger will strike when I least expect it. It is a feeling I cannot even explain..I will be fine and dandy one minute and the next I am starving...and need to eat...NOW. -I have experienced a bit of heartburn...nothing too crazy...I have also been craving spicy foods...so maybe these two things go hand in hand and that is the reason I get the heartburn? Either way...it sucks! -This little baby is starting to move sooo much in there. I notice it the most when I sit down during the day, it won't happen all the time, but every other time I do notice it. I cannot begin to explain how this makes me feel...when this little babe kicks in there and I notice it...I just get filled with pure joy. Nothing in the world is better <3 Nothing else really to say...so I'll leave you with my questions for the week! Enjoy! How far along? 14 Weeks 6 Days! How big is baby? The size of a Lemon. 3.4 inches. 1.5 ounces. About baby? Baby is probably sucking his/her thumb and wiggling his/her toes in there! His/her kidneys are making urine, and the liver and spleen are doing jobs, too. He/she's growing lanugo (a thin peach-fuzz-like hair) all over it's body, it will help keep warm! Total weight gain and bump measurements: 4lbs total weight gain! 39.5 inch baby bump (.5 inch increase since last week)! Maternity clothes? Shirt is from Thyme Maternity I got it during my first pregnancy and it's still nice and cozy & my jeans are from Thyme Maternity as well. Stretch marks? None. Sleep: Sleep is still amazing <3 Best moment this week: Going out for dinner with my Husband without the kids...one on one is exactly what we needed after our busy week. Miss anything? Salmon Sushi! Movement: Yes I am feeling this little one more and more during the day! Food cravings: Pineapple, Peach Yogurt & Pumpkin! Anything making you queasy or sick: No not at the moment! Gender: Don't know yet. Labor signs: Nope. Symptoms: Fatigue, headaches, burping, hunger & heartburn Belly button in or out? In. Wedding rings on or off? On. Happy or moody most of the time: Happy. Looking forward to: Moving into the In-Laws to start saving for our down payment! That is it for this Week's update. Go check out my youtube video if you'd like to see the video update! Have a great week everyone! ...following my dreams...
-Cynthia Happy Thanksgiving everyone :) I hope your weekend was amazing. Mine was!!! We had Thanksgiving dinner with my Dad & some Family yesterday! Also just tonight we had Thanksgiving dinner with my In-Laws and some more Family! What a wonderful weekend and so much to be thankful for <3 Life is good! We are going to be moving at the end of the month. Moving into my In-Laws house for about 6 Months (or longer) so we can save some money for a down payment for a house. So we have been busy packing and getting things organized. This next Year is gonna be so exciting with so many amazing life changes! Feeling amazing. Movement is getting more noticeable. Sleep is amazing. I really don't have any cravings, the nausea has pretty much gone away. The only thing I have been feeling is tired, but that can be because we are packing boxes and cleaning our house. Can't believe this trimester is coming to an end. I am happily welcoming the second trimester and really hope to establish some more routines. I really want to work on doing prenatal yoga before bed or sometime during the day. Fitness is so important and it is something I did very little of with my second pregnancy, but I also felt so unfit and just uncomfortable. Which is why I want to establish a nice routine that works for me to be more active! I want to start eating better too..since I am now feeling a lot better I think it will be easier :) Just to focus more on eating real foods, lots of protein, fruit, veggies and staying away from processed, refined sugars & heavy starches! Anyways that is pretty much it. Here are my Questions for the Week! Enjoy :) How far along? 13 Weeks 6 Days! How big is baby? The size of a Peach. 2.9 inches. 0.81 ounces. About baby? Baby is forming vocal cords and teeth. Even though baby is tiny, she/he has fingerprints. His/Her intestines are moving from the umbilical cord to their more permanent place, in her tummy. Total weight gain and bump measurements: 4lbs total weight gain! 39inch baby bump! Maternity clothes? This black shirt is not a maternity shirt...it is at least 9 years old...lol. Time to recycle it. My pants are Maternity skinny blue pants from Motherhood Maternity <3 Stretch marks? None. Sleep: Sleep is amazing <3 Best moment this week: Thanksgiving Dinners and spending time with all of my lovely family! Miss anything? A huge glass of wine <3 Movement: Yes a couple times! Definitely can feel the movements more! Food cravings: No...I really don't have an appetite right now :( Anything making you queasy or sick: No not at the moment! Gender: Don't know yet. Labor signs: Nope. Symptoms: Fatigue 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 tomorrow!!!!!! Well that is all for this week. If you'd like to check out the video update...click on the youtube link below. Have a wonderful Week everyone!!!! ...following my dreams...
-Cynthia Hello all, Well 12 Weeks have come and gone. I am over 13 Weeks...so scrambling to get this post done...I need to figure out a better routine for my blogging/filming life <3 It's crazy trying to set time aside to do these things with 2 littles ones running around and a super busy husband! Lol. We are a pretty busy family...definitely something I want to focus on is making life a lot more simple for us! I finally feel like things are going back to normal now though...like I am able to handle life a little better. With just a schedule and being organized and having an actual routine...but things will get easier, especially as I get my groove going! Anyways there isn't a whole lot new this week. Friday night I had a "Date Night" with my love. We went out for Open Mic Night here at a local coffee shop! He even got to play with one of our friends. We hired our very first babysitter for the boys...she said they were so good! This past Saturday I went into Edmonton with my Sister-in-Law Emma! It was soo fun...and actually relaxing in a way. To just be able to go shopping without kids screaming...tired...and hungry....or Husbands getting impatient in the "girly stores" Lol. Sooo fun! Our hubby's don't even like to go with us anyways...so we decided that maybe we will start going more often together every month or two :) I am getting over my cold nicely (seems like it took forever this time around) and I think this was the very first week I had very minimal symptoms. A couple headaches and nausea only when we were in Edmonton (probably from the driving) I've got one more week before I am entering the 2nd Trimester and this...is...crazy! Anyways here are my questions for the week! Enjoy! How far along? 12 Weeks How big is baby? The size of a Plum. 2.1 inches. 0.49 ounces. About baby? Most of Baby's critical systems are fully formed, Baby's about to enter the growth & maturation stage (in which her organs and tissues will grow and develop rapidly), Baby is now developing her reflexes (if you poke baby's body, she/he will most likely move), Baby is opening and closing fingers and curling toes, His/Her brain is developing fast! Total weight gain and bump measurements: 4lbs total weight gain! 38inch baby bump! Maternity clothes? Maternity T-Shirt (I honestly don't remember where I got this shirt. I think Target in the States) Maternity Skinny Jeans in a Blue color :) 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!!!!!! Well that's it for the week. Crazy that I am already 13 Weeks today!!! But there was my 12 Week update for you! Sorry no video this week! :) Take care everyone! ...following my dreams...
