Hello, Well I am enjoying the Third Trimester! I cannot believe it has arrived! Holy Smokes! This pregnancy is flying by! You don't even realize how many nights Jayden and I lie and bed and talk about how fast everything is going. We still cannot even wrap our head around the Idea that we almost have a 1.5 Year Old. How does time go so fast? Life with Isaiah has been a complete life change...and we cannot even believe he is ours. We cannot even believe we have been parents for 1.5 Years (on the 1st) Yikes! And now he is going to have a little brother! Slow down time. Life is amazing and we are so blessed and Thankful to have all that we have! Thank you Jesus! This pregnancy has been very great so far. Minus the very painful heartburn every now and again. But this last week was when I gave in and went and bought some Zantac (better take some now...now that I got a reminder to take it) But yeah there was a day earlier this Week that I could have died it was so bad. I could hardly breath and it was the sharpest pain to my chest I have experienced in all my life. I have never felt it anything like this when I was prego with Isaiah. So it was a crazy experience. I got a prescription when I was pregnant with Isaiah because I would get heartburn (mild heartburn) every once and a while. The Doctor said that the meds were still fine to take with this pregnancy (because I only used like 1 out of the bottle) So I took 2 the day I had the bad heartburn and I swear it did absolutely nothing for me! My Sister-In-Law who is also pregnant right now (YAY for lil cousins) swears by Zantac....so I thought I would give it a try...and WOW it is way better than the stuff I got from my Doctor! Crazy! I made little man a newborn hospital hat and some little booties. So I am definitely feeling the early stages of nesting (if that's possible) well nesting by doing crafts and making things for him? haha. Aren't they so cute? I will definitely have more coming! How does Mama feel? Well like I said before I feel great. Just heartburn. Also I have noticed I am starting to get really tired again and losing energy to do things (housework mostly) Also when I have to pick Isaiah up I am finding that a hard task as well. My Belly is definitely in the way now. I told Jayden that I should probably give myself a pedi before I cannot reach my toes at all! So I am sure that will happen this Weekend sometime! Get rid of these dry winter feet I have going on. Also my hands need a good pick me up as well. Nighttime is starting to be the time where I am dreading the most...I cannot get comfortable in bed at all! I seriously wake up a million times to roll over to the other side (and am constantly waking up sleeping on my back) I really want to finish organizing my craft room...because there is a few projects I want to get done before he arrives. A few things I want to make for him (and I will most likely make extra's for the other babies that are going to make an appearance this Year!) I had a girls day on Wednesday. My good friend Laura and I got our hair done together (one after another) then went out for some lunch. It is seriously the best feeling when you get pampered. We tried out this salon for the first time with a coupon for $10 off your first cut as well as a free hair product. How crazy is that? Plus the girl did an amazing job on my hair. I Love it! A little shorter than I wanted, but mostly because the previous cut was slightly longer towards the front. I want to grow it now, so this will be much better for doing just that! How Big is Baby for Week 28? Baby is the size of an Eggplant! Lol! Crazy! Weighs around 1.5-2.5lbs and is about 13.6-14.8 inches in length! The lungs are mature enough that he could probably breath on his own if he were born prematurely. Doesn't this sound insane. He is still so tiny...but he can survive being out in the world! Keep cookin in there baby. We will meet soon enough! Here are my Q's for the Week. Enjoy! How far along? 28 Weeks 6 Days Pregnant Total weight gain and bump measurements: 168.8 lbs. 43 Inch Bump (Sorry I didn't weigh in..this was last weeks measurements) Maternity clothes? My tee is from H&M & Shorts are motherhood I believe (I got them used...cause maternity shorts are freaking expensive) Stretch marks? I may have seen 1 starting (hopefully it was just an indent from my pants. Haha Sleep: Yes I sleep pretty good, once I can get sleep! Best moment this week: getting my hair done and having girl time! Miss anything? Not this Week. Movement: Yup...always moving Food cravings: Too many things to name! Lol! Anything making you queasy or sick: No Gender: Boy ;) Labor signs: no Symptoms: Fatigue, Discomfort, Heartburn Belly button in or out? in It seriously wants to pop out, but it is normally an inny and can't Wedding rings on or off? on Happy or moody most of the time: Happy and emotional! Looking forward to: Seeing him in the Ultrasound next Week! Enjoying the wonderful sunshine this day. In shorts and all! Feeling HUGE! haha!

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 |
