Hello, Well we are 22 Weeks Prego and to be honest I feel at least 35 Weeks. Well not so much feel but more look. I feel HUGE! I seriously gained like 3 lbs since last week and at least an inch in the bump! Crazy! Oh well the joys of pregnancy. This is honestly not the time to be stressing over how much I am gaining...because that is something that just happens in pregnancy! So Yay! I have an excuse to put this much on and not to feel bad about it....so I'm not! It's just a shock that's all! We had a Doctors appointment on Wednesday and it went really well...His heartbeat is at about 140 beats/min! It always sits about there. My Blood pressure was normal as well. The measurements of my belly are right on track. I have another ultrasound scheduled for Mid April...so when I went to the doctor I asked her why we had another one to do. She said that my placenta is very close to my cervix, but as my pregnancy goes on the uterus will get larger therefore the placenta will move away from the cervix. This is not a big deal now but it could cause a little bit of problems if it doesn't move furthur away during labour...and she says I may have to deliver in Edmonton if I want to do it vaginally (which I do again) So praying that that sorts itself out! How's Mama Feeling? I have been feeling pretty great with the pregnancy. For a few weeks there I was pretty uncomfortable. But this week has really been looking up and I feel great again. I also did my first (very short) workout on Wednesday...I didn't last very long because I really haven't worked out much (besides walking once in a while and chasing around a 1 Year Old) So I did about 16 minutes of workout to my new DVD. It is fun...I am gonna start doing it with my other pregnant friend to make it easier on ourselves to get the motivation to work out more often. I was even thinking of going to visit my FIL when he has a day off and then just going to workout while he hangs out with Isaiah for an hour. But I have motivation to work out lately and I want to take advantage of that...I need to get fit so that it's easier for me to get back into it after baby arrives.!!!!! YAY!!! I could still feel baby moving a lot but definitely not as much as he normally moves. Maybe he is starting to get a little squished in there! haha! My heartburn has kind of backed off a bit which is really great...because I was considering looking at options of taking something to help with them. But no need to right now :) My belly is definitely a noticeable baby Bump now. I still have been craving Creamsicle's like there is no tomorrow. They aren't on sale anywhere in this town and I don't want to just go buy one single one when I could save money buying a whole box. So I am holding out for a good sale and then stocking up on like 50 boxes. Lol. Jayden was teasing me the other day about how much I am showing now. He literally asked "How much longer do you have?.....Like 6 Weeks left?" I could have died. Lol. What a bugger! So I definitely feel way bigger than I ever was with Isaiah. Haha. How Big is Baby for Week 22? He is as big as a Papaya! Measures about 10.5-11.8 inches and weighs about 12.7-20.8 ounces. At Week 22 baby has more developed eyes and lips, and definitely looking more like a newborn! Crazy-sauce! How far along? 22 Weeks 6 Days Pregnant Total weight gain and bump measurements: 3.3 Weight Gain. Weight:162.3 lbs. 41.5 Inch Bump (1 Inch Increase) Maternity clothes? My Sweater is Maternity from Thyme Maternity (bought when I was pregnant with Isaiah), and of course my Maternity Skinny Jeans! Stretch marks? No Sleep: Yup...and I LOVE it! Best moment this week: Hearing Isaiah say his name for the first time! Miss anything? not really this week. Movement: not as much movement as previous Weeks. Food cravings: Creamsicle's Anything making you queasy or sick: No Gender: Baby Boy ;) Labor signs: no Symptoms: Just the Usual! Belly button in or out? in Wedding rings on or off? on Happy or moody most of the time: pretty happy Looking forward to: Breastfeeding again ;) Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you enjoyed my week 22! This little man will be here in no time! Lol.

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 |
