Hello there, Well 32 Weeks has come and has gone. Can't believe I will be 33 Weeks tomorrow! Yikes! It's definitely going by so fast. There isn't a whole lot to update on! I did miss my 31 Week Update, but really there isn't much to talk about anyways. Jayden and I had a wonderful Anniversary Weekend away (our Anniversary isn't until March 5th) & the Anniversary we are Celebrating is the "Since we've been together" one! Can't believe it will be 10 Years since I have been able to call him mine <3 That man still gives me butterflies...you seriously should have seen me the night before I went to meet him (he had a teachers convention so was already in the City) So I drove in last Saturday morning and met him and we got to spend the night in a cute little Bed & Breakfast and also spend all of Sunday together too! What a beautiful Weekend together...to be able to connect again and just...be...together! No interruptions, no changing diapers, no responsibility. Just...Us <3 A HUGE Thank You to my amazing Father-in-Law for spending the night at our house to watch our little men. Isn't it weird though...as a mom I had to have a little cry as I drove away from our house Saturday Morning...that was the first time I have been away from my little Jens over night...it was so hard to leave them both...I know I am definitely not the only parent to experience this. It's so crazy how close of a connection you have with your children...and how many times I have thought to myself "am I being selfish...maybe we shouldn't go away....maybe I should stay home so I don't have to leave them" But I am sooo happy that God gave me strength and comfort as I drove off to pick up my Husband. Cause the weekend was so special and definitely something that was well needed before we are parents of 3 little men. I had a Doctor's appointment on Tuesday. Everything went well. The Doctor says that my Blood Pressure was a bit low (but after I said I mentioned it was low the last couple of times) she agreed and then said that she wasn't overly concerned and that it is always changing in pregnancy. She listened to baby's heartbeat (when she could find it) because of how active he is...as soon as she tried to listen he kept moving and hiding from her! haha! She was very happy with his heart rate. She says everything looks nice and normal. He is head down (but that could change in the next 8 Weeks!)
That is about it for this weeks update. Here are my questions for the week! How far along? 32 Weeks 6 Days! How big is baby? Baby is as Big as a Squash. 15.2-16.7 inch long & 2.5-3.8lbs! He's getting ready for his descent — she's likely in the head-down position now. And he's probably feeling even more cramped. Total weight gain and bump measurements: 173lbs (up 4lbs since 2 weeks ago) my bump measures 44 inches around :) Maternity clothes? Shirt is from Target I believe (Maternity), Pants are from Thyme Maternity! Stretch marks? No, but I have a feeling they are coming! Sleep: Sleep is getting uncomfortable. Best moment this week: I would have to say...enjoying that chocolate I ate this afternoon! Miss anything? not really. Movement: Yes...all the time...and it's getting more powerful as the days go by. Food cravings: Avocado. Anything making you queasy or sick: No Gender: A Boy! Labor signs: No. Symptoms: Growing Cramps, Baby's hard movements & fatigue. Belly button in or out? In. Wedding rings on or off? On. Happy or moody most of the time: Oh....so emotional! But happy. Looking forward to: Breastfeeding again...oh and getting my body back! Thanks so much for stopping by! See ya for next weeks update! Also just an FYI for my youtube video's our little family is gonna start doing Weekly Vlogs of our life. I am so excited to start this new journey to capturing our life with our little men and going back to watch how much they have changed <3 ...following my dreams... -Cynthia

Hello, Well I am a bit behind on my updates. I am actually 33 Weeks now. Yikes. I am going to just jot down what 32 Weeks was like though. There wasn't a whole lot that went on. We had Prenatal appointment on Wednesday. Doctor says everything is going well. My ultrasound results came in and Baby is healthy and doing great. He is in the 50th Percentile across the board...meaning everything is measuring just on schedule for how far along I am...he is not too big not too small. I thought he was going to be HUGE...since I am, but he's the perfect little size. Other great news is the placenta moved away from the cervix. Not sure if I said anything before...but I had something called Placenta Previa...meaning the placenta was too close to the cervix. I may have had to have a C-Section because of it (because there would have been too many risks of doing it vaginally) So YIPPIE...this makes me so happy. But I wasn't stressed over it or anything like that I was gonna take anything as it came. I am going to every 2 Weeks for Prenatal appointments now. No more every month....I will do 2 more 2 Week appointments and then go to every Week...How the heck did this happen???? Wow there are no baby buys this week. Although the girl who is making my little cloth diapers (and some for Isaiah) got my fabric in the mail and will start on them as soon as she gets home from holidays. So they should be here in a few Weeks. So excited for them. I am working on some amazing things for him though...knitting up a storm in my house these days. I am slowly working on getting our Master bedroom organized and figured out and will move onto my sewing room eventually too, the sooner I do that...the sooner I can make some more stuff for this little peanut...and Isaiah too. Not sure if I mentioned that our Maternity Photoshoot has been changed to a closer date. We are now going in for June 1st (which makes me very happy...considering I feel like a beached whale these days) I am pretty sure that is all on the agenda for this past week. OH....OH....OH...so My little sister told me the wonderful news about her being PREGNANT on Thursday. Seriously I am thrilled...I am going to be an AUNTIE....again. Lol. I am so blessed to have all these little nieces and (hopefully) nephews around me in the next Months to come. It was a super happy day when my little niece Isla arrived into the world. So I am over the moon with excitement that there are 2 more joining. But seriously...my baby sister is pregnant...this is truly amazing. She told me when we were out for lunch at our local Farmers Market...whatever you do DO NOT TELL YOUR PREGNANT SISTER you are pregnant...when you are out in a public place. I had so many tears streaming down my face (I tried so hard to not cry...but I was so overwhelmed with joy that I could not help myself) Congrat's Baby Sis, I Love you So much and I cannot wait to meet my little niece or nephew <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 How does Mama Feel? Well I am getting more energy...which is strange...I feel MASSIVE..yes, but somehow I am getting more energy and more motivation to get things done before he arrives. A few days ago I started making some lists for things I need to accomplish before he arrives. Cleaning lists, shopping lists, menu lists, organizing, etc. I am aslo starting to crave healthier food now a days too...which is a huge relief considering I have been on a "fast food" kick for the past several weeks. It has not been nice on the scale. Let's talk about scale and weight for a sec. At my Prenatal appointment I got my weight checked (as I do at all of my appointments) Anyways I pretty much weigh the same weight as I did when I was finished my pregnancy with Isaiah...in fact I am pretty sure I am the same size (belly wise) So I have decided that it is just going to stress me out to weigh myself every week from now on...and I would rather not do that. So sorry no more weigh-ins. I will hop on the scale when I am in labour to see how much I gained in total with this guy and then do my belly measurement there...so if you don't see this info anymore this is why. How Big is Baby for Week 32? Baby is the size of a Squash, he weighs about 2.5-3.8 lbs and measures about 15.2-16.7 inches. Here are my Q's for Week 32. Enjoy. How far along? 32 Weeks 6 Days Pregnant Total weight gain and bump measurements: No more tracking... Maternity clothes? No pictures this week :( Stretch marks? No but my boobs are really itchy...so I am thinking they are starting to form there...and my thighs. Sleep: Yes. Best moment this week: Learning that the placenta moved Miss anything? Not really. Movement: Yup...all day long. Food cravings: Fruit Anything making you queasy or sick: No Gender: Boy ;) Labor signs: no Symptoms: Braxton Hicks, Fetal Movement Belly button in or out? In (wants to be out) Wedding rings on or off? On...I take them off at night though Happy or moody most of the time: Happy but emotional at times Looking forward to: Getting my body back! Again, I don't have pictures this week. Sorry about that. Oh well, next Week for sure. Thanks for stopping by.
