Hello, Well just in time to write this post. Tomorrow I will be 22 Weeks pregnant! Holy Moly! There was quite a bit that happened this past Week. Bad news first...My Great Uncle passed away and we had his Funeral on Saturday. So it was a very sad Weekend to say goodbye to a wonderful man! But it was nice to see my Family and be with them at this time. Some more bad news...I got another Cold :( Boo...I am so done with colds...they really do suck when you are pregnant and it's crazy how much a person rely's on "drugs/meds" to help their colds go away...because if I wasn't prego I would totally be gulping down the neo citron and cough syrup! Oh well...it will be over shortly (I am sure) Good news...we Celebrated Jayden's 27th Birthday on Monday (March 4th) I made a very delicious soup and some brownies for him. I also learned that brownies are his favorite dessert (and I didn't know this after 8 Years of being together) Yes that's right some more great news...we Celebrated 8 Years of being together as of March 5th (we technically became an item on his Birthday...but we decided to make the date March 5th...so he can have his B-day all to himself...lol just an FYI) So March 5th we went for all you can eat fish and chips at Joey's Only...and of course had the deep fried ice cream with carmel sauce...YUM! I am sure I went over my fish allowance in one night though...but I didn't think it was a big deal. It was tasty! Especially the Sweet Potato Fries with Chipotle Dip! YUM! It looks interesting and I am super excited to give it a go (after this cold lets me work out) but I am sure counting down the days for nice weather so I can get my booty outside for walks everyday. I am sure some of the discomfort is from not being as fit as I normally am. I have become a couch potato (mostly because I have been super tired this pregnancy...and that is probably being cause by not working out) lol. Vicious cycle isn't it? Boooo! I also feel super fat lately. I cannot even look in the mirror anymore and see a cute little belly...I just see a huge whale :( Hubby doesn't think so...but I sure do! Little man is kicking so much (again that may be a reason I am so uncomfortable as well) All I want is junk food and not so healthy food. I seriously need a kick in the butt...this has to stop! I've got 2 more Mama Buys for this week! I made an order to well.ca and got me some prenatal vitamins and some nipple cream for when I start nursing again! I am getting closer and closer to getting started on getting our room set up for this little peanut of ours. I have tonnes of ideas floating around in my head and can't wait to get started. I am making myself get the rest of the house organized first before I tackle this task though...makes sense to me! But I do know that I am thinking paper cranes for a mobile for above his cradle in our bedroom. I lucked out as well because my Baby Sis said she would help me out with making them. We just need to go shopping for coloured paper first (once we figure out a color palette to work with) So exciting!!! I already washed a small load of Isaiah's old clothes and I will get those organized and put away shortly too...I got really teary eyed when I saw the little outfit we brought Isaiah home in...so sweet and so tiny (it was big on him when we brought him home) and I still remember the day he grew out of it...now he's a giant! Lol. How Big is Baby for Week 21? He is the size of a Pomegranate! About 10.5 Inches and about 12.2 ounces. This is insane! Just thinking Isaiah was about 17.5 Inches at birth...yikes! (oh God Heartburn...go away...sorry just dying while I am writing) Yup I have been getting some crazy heartburn lately. It is soo hard to breath. Tums do not work!!! Anyways here are my Questions for the week. Enjoy! How far along? 21 Weeks 6 Days Pregnant Total weight gain and bump measurements: Weight:159 lbs. 40.5 Inch Bump (no change this week) Maternity clothes? I am wearing maternity leggings from H&M, the shirt is non maternity (my sister gave it to me a couple years ago), a blue scarf and a brown belt :) Stretch marks? No Sleep: I have been waking up at about 2am every morning...but have been to lazy to get my butt out of the warm bed to go and pee...so by 6am my bladder is bursting...(I know this is not good) Best moment this week: Celebrating Hubby's 27th Birthday and our 8 Years Together! Miss anything? A glass of wine. Probably because I know I can't have it! Movement: So much movement (maybe that's why all the heartburn) Food cravings: OMG Creamsicle's MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THE WORLD! Anything making you queasy or sick: No Gender: Boy!!!! Labor signs: no Symptoms: Sore Boobs! Uncomfortable Belly. Lots of movement. Tired. Hungry! Belly button in or out? in Wedding rings on or off? on Happy or moody most of the time: Happy Looking forward to: Having 2 Boys!!!! Told ya I feel huge! :( Lol. I feel like I grew a million inches this past week...and I didn't!
Thanks for stopping by...means a lot to me! ...following my dreams... -Cynthia

Hello,
Yikes it has been to long. No video. Sorry. For those of you that like them. Maybe I will do one soon. But anyways I thought I should fill you in on the weeks that I missed. Just in case some of you were wondering! 20-23 Weeks: I officially signed up for the W.I.N Program (Women Infant Nutrition) so that was really cool. Some benefits for joining are I get coupons when we meet....coupons that I can use at the grocery store for like free milk and other dairy, vegetables, and fruit/juices. But that's not the reason I joined...it is a really fun group I already met some great people (Mom's) through it. There is something about meeting and learning about babies and meeting other people with the same things going on as you isn't there? I LOVE this program. It should be a blast once we start up full force again this fall! Jayden and I Celebrated our 4 Year Wedding Anniversary on the 16th of June! :) We had a Family Reunion July 11-14th (23 Weeks Pregnant) it was super fun. We have one every 3 Years on Hubby's side (so this was my second one) It was so exciting to have our baby to be prayed for and loved as much as some of the older generation showed! WOW! 24-27 Weeks: I started meeting with some ladies from my church on Wednesday to sew with them. I sewed a few things since then (especially things for my little niece)! July 30th (25 Weeks 5 Days) My little niece Isla Lynn Madsen joined us. She is lovely :) I meet every Monday with some ladies I know and we crochet/knit together...then we meet again during the week at a local coffee shop that has the best Carmel Mocha Latte's :) Oh the joys of being a Housewife! What more can I ask for? 28-29 Weeks: August 17th (28 Weeks 2 Days)We had a Doctor's appointment she said everything was going super well and that it was time to take our Glucose test! So I did that a few days later. I hate getting poked...I hate it so much!!! LOL! Also she said we are now going to meet every 2 weeks instead of every month! The 19th I got my blood tests done! Aug 20-25th In Edmonton researching some baby things to buy...then we went and visit with my Family for a few days. We mended some relationships that needed mending. Thank you for your Prayers on that. It is really nice to fix things when they are broken...especially with Family! I Love you Mom & Dad...always!!!! WE got a call from our Doctor saying the Glucose test came back positive!!! EEEKK!!! What a scare!!! So we went for another test. Which took over 3 hours of being at the hospital and having to drink that gross drink again (which messed up my system for several days after) Then we had our regular scheduled Doctor's appointment a few days later. The results then came back Negative. So YAY for not have Diabetes!!!!! 30 Weeks: We had another Doctor's appointment (because it is every 2 weeks now not every month) and I noticed that the baby always has the hiccups down below in my "lower" regin like super low so I asked the Doctor if that meant the baby's head was down....she checked and sure enough it is. So let's hope it stays that way. I have gained 18 pounds so far in this pregnancy. Doctor says she is happy with my weight gain. If she's happy...I'm happy!!!! My Belly is 30 Inches according to the Doc! I have been having pretty restless sleeps during 30 weeks. Waking up and thinking that I had a lot to do before my Baby get's here. Stupid things like cleaning the bathroom and vacuuming...and then things like what car seat are we going to buy? LOL Yeah it's been...awesome!!!! 31 Weeks: We had our first Prenatal Class! It was awesome. Our Best Friends are in it too...so that's cool! I have been feeling baby a lot lately. I am starting to notice how it is starting to sit and where it's head is and where it's feet are. I LOVE feeling movements especially it's hiccups! I am becoming so in Love with my Baby I am enjoying every moment of it's growing and learning. Soon enough I will be able to see this beautiful little face and hands and feet and nose and ears and hair. I wonder every day how it will look. Like it's Dad? Like Me? I am so filled with Wonder of this little creation. I thank God everyday for giving us this beautiful gift of life inside me. How Amazing! Symptoms these past few months! Honestly I am safe to say that this pregnancy has been AMAZING so far! I am so lucky to experience this. I have bonded so much with this little person inside me and I have become so much closer in my Walk. I am tired...here and there! I get heartburn...here and there (take 2 tums and I am good to GO) I wake up to pee about 4 times a night...but fall asleep once my head hits the pillow again! My "chest area" hurts now and then...but nothing to complain about! Yeah I wish I could get to say more...but honestly I don't have anything to say. It has seriously been a blast being pregnant. If pregnancy was like this every time...we would be in trouble...because I would want like 10 kids and counting! LOL! Anyways that's enough for my novel. The next one will be shorter! Thanks for reading! Sorry I didn't make a video instead but it would have been like 30 minutes long if I made this into a video! If I keep on top of things I could literally make 2 minute video's. No belly shot today either. I'm lazy! haha! When it comes to blogging. So hopefully I can get into it more! Thank you to those who really like my blog! That means a lot to me. ...following my dreams... -Cynthia |
