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...

Hey everyone :) We are 11 Weeks and 6 Days Pregnant! Crazy how the time is flying. Life this past two Weeks have been crazy and hectic around here. We had a bad flood that happened in our basement on the 16th. So we were out of our home and staying with my In-Laws for a couple days. We came home on the 21st so we have been home since. But we all caught colds this past week :( So I really hope we can all feel better soon so we can finally start enjoying our home again and enjoying life! Lol. I was able to keep track of this past week though so I am happy that I can finally get an update done for our 11 Weeks...since we weren't able to do a 10 Week update! I had my Prenatal Appointment on Tuesday. It went really well...everything looks great on my part. The doctor talked to me about my numbing episodes that have happened. The way she described it was basically they are Migraines with Aura. Here is something I found in an article about what it is exactly. http://www.webmd.com/migraines-headaches/what-is-a-migraine-with-aura A migraine with aura comes with additional symptoms, which often begin about 30 minutes or less before the headache. These early symptoms are called a prodrome. The prodrome or aura may last for five to 20 minutes, or it may continue even after the headache subsides. Symptoms of aura include:
This is crazy...because I have experienced some of these things before the migraine occurs. This has happened to me twice this pregnancy. The Numbness (Prickling Skin) I would say is the worse part of it....well let's get real the worse part is the deadly migraine that occurs afterwards. My Doctor told me that if this happens again...as soon as I feel numbness starting to take 2 tylenol capsules to see if we can stop the migraine from starting once all these symptoms end...(the blurryness, numbness, weakness!) This is scary stuff...so I do hope it doesn't happen to me again. This past week was a good week, even though we are all with colds right now. Sore throat, coughing and our boys have it worse I think...with snotty noses and coughing. Oh how it sucks to have children who aren't feeling great :( Poor things. It felt like Jayden was a bit more busy with School this past week as well...and of course he has guitar lessons twice a week during the evenings....so it has been busy for this Mama. But my Hubby is so sweet and let me go have a ladies movie night with my Sister-In-Law Emma and a couple friends. It was so nice to just be able to go...eat yummy snacks and actually relax and sit through a whole movie without interruptions :) We watched "The Other Woman" I thought it was a good movie :) What a wonderful way to take some Mama time though :) Anyways I think those are the biggest things that happened this week. Here are my questions for the week. Enjoy! How far along? 11 Weeks & 6 Days Pregnant How big is baby? The size of a lime. 1.6 inches. 0.25 ounces. About baby? Baby is moving a lot in there, his/her skin is still see-through, fingers & toes are no longer webbed & tooth buds, hair follicles & nail beds are forming! Total weight gain and bump measurements: 4lbs total weight gain! (down a couple lbs) 38inch baby bump! (my bump measurement also went down an inch...so maybe that baby bloat is finally going away?) Maternity clothes? Maternity 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!!!!!! That's it for the week. There was definitely more to update on! Hope you enjoyed and thank you so much for stopping by. If you'd like to see footage of this update go check out our Youtube Channel. Here's the link.... ...following my dreams...
-Cynthia Hello all,
So there has been no time for me to sit down and write up a proper blog post for this week. I wasn't able to get any pictures this week or any video done for my 10 Week update. Just wanted to let you know that everything is ok...all is well...but we haven't been in our house all week because our basement flooded...with sewage water!!!!!! YUCK! This had nothing to do with anything we did...but most likely have happened because of a construction company working across the street from our town home complex...there were 8 of our places that got flooded. But we really don't know exactly what happened...just that it did happen. But things like this happen...thank goodness we have renters insurance! The flood happened Tuesday late afternoon and so we stayed with Jayden's parents until Sunday afternoon...our place got cleaned and sanitized on Saturday morning so we let it air out from all the chemicals/disinfectant for another night. But it was a sad situation because we had to say goodbye to a huge pile of our belongings from our basement...futon, more furniture, clothes, baby items (cradle, toys, swing), clothes, shoes...yeah the list goes on. So our basement is bare...but cleaner than it has ever been...so we are in the process of waiting for our insurance to come to price out all of our damaged belongings so we can replace them with new items! We'll be able to get new furniture and whatever else we need to replace...but boo for having this whole thing happen to us. So I am not gonna stress about trying to remember all of my symptoms and not being able to get pictures or footage because this week was crazy week. But I will be keeping track of everything for Week 11 (I am 11 Weeks 1 Day today) so look out for a post for Sunday and a video for Sunday as well! I hope you are all keeping well. After this whole yucky situation it really makes you open up your eyes to what is most important in life...cause as I was so sad to say goodbye to a lot of our belongings...in the end...they are just...stuff! My family is safe and everyone is happy...and we had my In-Laws to stay with in this whole process...you can't ask for anything more special than having your family safe at the end of the day <3 Thanks for stopping by and we'll catch ya on my next update! ...following my dreams... -Cynthia Hello all, So we went to the City last week and got our Ultrasound done...UPDATE........ Everything is going great...the tech said baby is healthy and growing and everything looks right on track! She said our Due Date is April 13th, 2015 so that makes us about a Week less than what I thought originally...not too bad for my estimations... So I am 10 Weeks Pregnant today...therefore I will do my Weekly updates every Sunday (when I will be 10 Weeks 6 Days Pregnant) Then I can really talk about what happened during my 10th Week...and so on. Anyways here is a video I just did on my haul...please bare with me as I am still learning this filming thing...I will get faster at doing the videos and learn more with editing to really trim them down...everything is such a learning curve. I hope you like it though :) Thanks for stopping by! ...following my dreams... -Cynthia Hello there, Well we are just about 10 Weeks! I am at the end of my 9th week...I have been busy this week trying to get things back to a routine and schedule around here. It was my Hubby's first week back teaching. So it's been a very slow go for me. Lol. I am definitley gonna need some getting used to not having him here so much. It's crazy how you get so used to summer and being lazy...taking things day by day, not really having plans....to...bam...summer over. I Loved having Jayden home...and now that I am so nauseous during the day it is really hard to not have him here :( But everything just needs time, soon enough we will have an awesome routine again. I started taking the Diclectin, so hopefully the nausea will pass during the day at least for me :) We'll see. I just started taking it last night and had a wonderful morning without nausea. We had a wonderful visit with my Mom, Bro & Sis. It was so nice to have them here...it was so nice to share the wonderful news about baby #3 and just to see how excited they were for us :) I love my family <3 We even managed to go to the hot springs here...which was such a treat and nice to go soak in some warm water! (Yes it was safe for me) I have been getting more into Photography...I had two shoots in the past week! :) It's nice to find something you can do as a stay at home mom...that brings in some extra money! It is so much fun learning more and more about photography as well. I still have so much to learn, but am encouraged to do that now :) I got all my blood work done earlier this week. It went by quick and it's nice that you kinda get used to it...especially being in your third pregnancy. Lol. Doesn't even phase you anymore. That weird blood pressure body numbness thing happened again this week. I called my doctor and made an appointment for a couple weeks from now...so I am anxious to find out why this has been happening to me. (I talk about more of the details in my Week 8 update) Anyways not really much else to talk about so here are my questions for the week :) Enjoy! How far along? 9 Weeks & 6 Days Pregnant How big is baby? The size of a green olive. 0.9 inches. 0.07 ounces. About baby? Baby is no longer an embryo, she/he's a fetus! Baby is developing more distinct facial features. The heartbeat may be strong enough to pick up by a fetal doppler. Total weight gain and bump measurements: 6lbs total weight gain! 39inch baby bump! Maternity clothes? My top is from Thyme Maternity (best part is...I bought this with my first pregnancy) It is so cozy and perfect for this snowy day outside! My pants are from Motherhood Maternity and I bought these during my second pregnancy. So nice to reuse some of my clothes :) Don't mind the hair...it was a no shower day today...because I didn't wake up early enough! Stretch marks? None. Sleep: Wake up once a night. Best moment this week: Doing 2 Photoshoots :) Miss anything? No. Movement: No. Food cravings: No. Anything making you queasy or sick: My prenatal vitamins sometimes. Gender: Don't know yet. Labor signs: Nope. Symptoms: Fatigue, Nausea. Belly button in or out? In. Wedding rings on or off? On. Happy or moody most of the time: Happy. Looking forward to: Our trip to Edmonton to see baby via ultrasound and spend the day with hubby with no kiddo's :) That is it for this week. Thanks for stopping by. "Has anything scary happened to you during pregnancy? What did you do to cope?" Let me know in the comments below :) Have a great week! Go watch my pregnancy vlog down below. I am now doing my youtube channel again! So there will be more to come during this pregnancy! ...following my dreams... -Cynthia Finally. I can shout it to the world. We are pregnant....again...a precious sweet little person is being formed inside of me as we speak! We are certain we are due April sometime...we have an ultrasound in Edmonton this coming Thursday to find out the due date for sure. We are over the moon excited. I LOVE being pregnant. Even though this time around...I am...so...SICK! I have never felt this nauseous in my entire life! Such a huge change from the first two pregnancies! Anyways I am looking forward to doing weekly blog posts...and I am adding in youtube video's again this time around...so sad I didn't with Jens' pregnancy...therefore I AM doing it this time around. I LOVE looking back on the updates I did with Isaiah....I wish I was more consistent and did them every single week with all my pregnancies...but life does get in your way...especially when your out on the couch for most of the day cause you feel like you can vomit at any moment. Anyways...look out for more updates from our family...and I will leave you with this amazing video Hubby and I made for announcing baby #3! Enjoy! ...following my dreams... -Cynthia Hello there,
I am 8 Weeks today (going by my estimation) But we have our appointment scheduled for September 11th to get an ultrasound done to find out the actual date. Since I am just guessing. There really isn't much new with us. I had my prenatal appointment today and just got asked tonnes of questions...I got my prescription for Diclectin (nausea Meds) because I somedays cannot even handle it. Yesterday was they worse for nausea...I was sick almost the whole day...thankfully no throwing up...but it is still not fun at all. Also Doctor says I need to get a whole bunch of lab work done...blood work...so yay. not. Today was also a weird day...I had a strange thing happen to me :( It's happened before when I was postpartum with Jens. Where my hand goes numb...and my tongue, and my vision goes weird like blurry. It lasted for about 20 minutes...thankfully happened when Jayden was just finishing up school, so he came home immediately. We called Health Link to get them to talk me through it...they think it is a blood pressure thing. That I should just take it easy. They didn't seem worried about it but said to mention it to my doctor at my next visit. So that was crazy...scary... My Mother and Siblings are coming later this week...so I am looking forward to their visit! Other than that...we'll see how the rest of the week goes Anyways here is the questions for the week since there really isn't anything else to update on. Enjoy. How far along? 8 Weeks Pregnant How big is baby? The size of a raspberry. 0.63 inches. 0.04 ounces. About baby? Now baby weighs in! Growing about a milimeter each day. Baby is moving those arms and legs (even though I can't feel it yet). Fingers and toes are only slightly webbed and baby's tale is gone. Baby's taste buds are now forming. Total weight gain and bump measurements: 2lbs up. Maternity clothes? I don't have a picture this week. But I have busted out my Maternity pants and a couple shirts...and am looking forward to going to Edmonton to shop for more staples. Stretch marks? None. Sleep: I usually wake up once to use the bathroom...but I do sleep amazing at the moment. Best moment this week: Going to Jarvis Lake with the family for the day! Miss anything? No. Movement: No. Food cravings: No. Anything making you queasy or sick: Pretty much anything I eat does. I get nauseous about 20 minutes after I eat. Gender: Don't know yet. Labor signs: Nope. Symptoms: Fatigue, Nausea, Frequent need to pee. Belly button in or out? In. Wedding rings on or off? On. Happy or moody most of the time: Happy. Looking forward to: Getting into a nice healthy routine. I hope you enjoyed this weeks update. I am hoping to start my Youtube video's next week...and my weekly bump shots too! So look out for those :) Thanks for stopping by! ...following my dreams... -Cynthia Welcome to our very first Pregnancy Update...of our Third Pregnancy...we are over the moon about being on this journey again! Such a beautiful thing. We have know for a couple of weeks now...but I have been hella sick and not motivated to sit and update until now! I am still very nauseous and tired...but I can manage actually sitting and writing now. We have been thinking a lot about Baby #3 since our second Baby (Jens) turned a Year Old...and we thought what the heck...let's just see what happens...and...BAM...preggers again. So welcome to our blog...and welcome to our journey to becoming parents of 3!!!! I want to make it very similar to my posts with our previous pregnancy...in the sense of having the weekly updates of questions about how I am feeling...as well as updates on Baby's Milestones and Development...and of course baby bump pictures...cause ya gotta show that bump off...even if your not feeling very attractive at times.
Pregnancy is such a beautiful thing and not something you should feel weird or uncomfortable sharing...which is why I am here....and leads me to my next thing...I am going to start doing Youtube video's again...I am so sad I stopped with my second pregnancy, but have motivated myself to start them up again and hope to make Youtube a part of my life. I feel like putting myself out there (which I know is not for everyone) is a scary thing to do...but I know personally...it helps me to really sink deep and bring out the person I am...it makes me feel like a better person...it makes me feel like my life matters...cause sometimes in my own personal life I feel like I don't. Which is why I love to write and am excited to finally get back at it. Sorry for making this so long...I will get on with the update of our pregnancy now :) Enjoy! *basing my information on my iPhone apps (the bump & What to Expect when your Expecting) We have our very first Ultrasound booked for September 11th in Edmonton. We are unsure as to when our actual Due Date is but that is exactly why we have our Ultrasound...to find out our Due Date! But my guess is us being due April 7th, 2015...so I will go with that date for now...until we figure out the actual date. This is based on me guessing when my last period was...which would be around July 1st. We found out we were pregnant on Thursday August 7th by taking a home pregnancy test that read positive. We had a Doctor's appointment Monday August 11th and had our pregnancy confirmed. Positive...as my Doctor walked into the room giving me the thumbs up :) Hehe. The past couple of weeks have been so hard...I weaned my little Jens off the boob because I was far too tired from growing a baby and breastfeeding too. So it was super emotional for me to have to do that...and very painful...even though we were only nursing once a day. But the fatigue is seriously killing me guys....like for real...and this nausea crap...is something else...I don't think I have felt this sick through any of the pregnancies before. It's fierce. I was doing great with working out on a regular basis but because I have felt so nauseous and tired...I have kinda fallen off the wagon but hope to pick myself back up and at least work on some prenatal yoga in the evenings...I do want to keep running a couple times a week though...but now it's been a week and a half since I've gone....so we'll see what happens. I get a bit of heartburn here and there and some cramps from my uterus stretching again. I swear I am growing already...definitely not baby...but my uterus is not wasting time to stretch out again. It remembers... How far along? 7 Weeks & 4 Days Pregnant How big is baby? The size of a blueberry. 0.15 inches. About baby? Baby already doubled in size since last week. Not only is Baby's brain becoming more complex, but Baby's heart is too. Baby's developing a permanent set of kidneys. Baby's arm and leg joints are now forming Total weight gain and bump measurements: 2lbs up. (starting weight 150lbs) Maternity clothes? Not gonna lie I missed my maternity clothes and when we head to Edmonton for our Ultrasound I will be adding a couple more pieces to my wardrobe. Stretch marks? None. Sleep: I sleep great...but by morning I have to use the bathroom so bad. I can see waking up to pee in the near future. Best moment this week: Going to Jasper for the day with Family. Miss anything? Bailey's in my coffee. Movement: Nope. Just gas bubbles and baby bloat. Food cravings: Poutine (which I had today) Anything making you queasy or sick: Lol...My Husband's Lazy man chair that we got for free (used) it was super old and kinda smelled. So I made him get rid of it. Also after I eat I get really nauseous...or if I need to eat. Gender: Don't know yet. Labor signs: Nope. Symptoms: All of them. Lol. Fatigue, Nausea, Frequent need to pee, Acne (which I normally rarely get), Super emotional (literally started crying at the kitchen table for nothing one day), Super extra amount of saliva, and major belly bloat. Belly button in or out? In. Wedding rings on or off? On. Happy or moody most of the time: Happy...but very emotional. Looking forward to: My Mother coming to visit next week...so we can share the amazing news :) Hello, Well to be honest I didn't believe I would have even write this post. 39 Weeks. I have been in "Labor" off and on since last Thursday night. So a Week of being in this state. I am thankful though that they are not super painful contractions...but at the same time wish it would just turn into full blow labor soon. Like last week I am going to just write a little update for each day, that way I know what happened and how long I was in labor for each day etc.... Friday (39 Weeks)- The contractions pretty much stopped. (Last night was crazy and I thought I would go into full blow labor for sure...I thought this morning would have been the day I got to hold my sweet little man for the first time) Nope! So today was a tough day. I was exhausted from staying up until 5:30 this morning and it was just a day that I felt frustrated after being in labor for 9 hours and nothing happening in the end. It was a tough day :( So pretty much all of Friday I just lounged around in Pjs and hung out with the Family, helped my Mom clean up the house a bit and get ready for the BBQ at my In-Laws (So all in all it was a day of rest...well needed rest) Saturday (39 Weeks 1 Day)- No contractions throughout the whole day. Just spent the day relaxing and spending time with the Family. Even had a mini date for coffee with Jayden since he leaves tomorrow for 2 Weeks. The evening consisted of crazy contractions, but totally all over the place and very inconsistent. Jayden and I went for a walk at about 3 in the morning to see if we can get them closer together. By 5:30 am I had my last contraction at 7 minutes from the previous one and decided to call it quits and go to sleep (was happy I was able to fall asleep) I don't know what is going on at this point...this is frustrating. Sunday (39 Weeks 2 Days)- Well today I learned that I have been having something called Prodromal Labor...which is basically false labor in a nut shell. It says that it is very inconsistent usually occurring when you are close to your due date. I talked to a Mama today about how she had it...she said she had it for 6 Weeks before delivering. I can't even imagine that. Tonight my goal is to get some well needed rest. I am gonna try my best to just ignore these fake contractions and save all my energy for the real deal. My Mom cleaned my house today and so did my siblings as I just rested up after last nights freak show. Contractions were very mild off and on today. I am going to bed at 11:30pm with no sign of contractions...I am sure when the real thing happens I won't be able to fall asleep or stay sleeping. Also Jayden left today to Rock Camp, so we are hoping Baby will stay content in there until the weekend now. Tuesday (39 Weeks 4 Days)- Yesterday there was absolutely no sign of labor! Maybe a few contractions throughout the whole day! However once 3am Tuesday morning rolled around I finally woke up from getting a few painful contractions in my sleep...so this is when I finally woke up! They were only about 6 mins apart! So I finally decided when they started to be more like 8 mins apart that I would go run a warm bath and see if I can stop them! While running the bath and getting in they then moved to 4-6 mins apart! I am going to just end here because this is where my Birth Story starts...here is the link if you want to check that out too! Jens Birth Story How does Mama feel? Well now that I finally squeezed him out..I feel pretty amazing...and life is so great. How big is Baby for Week 39? Well Baby is the size of a Watermelon. Yup Pretty massive. He ranges from 6.2-9.2 lbs and measures 18.9-20.9 inches long. How far along? 39 Weeks 4 Days Pregnant Total weight gain and bump measurements: Sorry I didn't even get a final weight of measurement :( Maternity clothes? A striped maternity tee from old navy & just regular yoga pants :) Stretch marks? Yes tonnes. They are super itchy too. Sleep: Nope not for over a week now Best moment this week: Meeting our Son :) Miss anything? Nope Movement: Yes. Tonnes Food cravings: Nope. Anything making you queasy or sick: No Gender: Boy ;) Labor signs: Yes Symptoms: Every symptom in the book. Lol. Belly button in or out? In (wants to be out) Wedding rings on or off? Off Happy or moody most of the time: Moody. Looking forward to: Getting my body back Well that is it for now. I cannot believe how huge I was...and that he is finally here! Crazy!
...following my dreams... -Cynthia Hello, Wednesday I woke up off and on throughout the night needing to use the bathroom. I was feeling crampy (very crampy), uncomfortable, nauseous, and yeah just kind of off. I woke up about 3 times in the night and it took a while to get back to sleep. I finally woke up for the last time at 4:30 (tossed and turned) and then decided to get up and shower at 5:00 this morning. So it was quite the day. All I could think about was all that needed to be done that day (in order for this little guy to arrive) I got my last order of newborn cloth diapers in the mail...so I immediately went and put those in the wash (cause they need to be prepped...meaning washed/dried about 4 times) So I have spent pretty well the whole afternoon getting things done around here. I made a list of things to do (I think in the last blog post) and I am knocking those off today...because I have a STRONG feeling he is going to make an appearance in the next few days. My Father-in-Law came over today and steam cleaned our carpet going up the stairs as well as an area rug and touched a few spots on our couches. Seriously he is awesome. We have a few more things to do on the list...and Hubby should be home any minute now. I also picked up our new BEAUTIFUL diaper bag. So I got it all packed up as our hospital bag (just need to pack mine and Jayden's now (with a few things and our clothes) I cannot believe that I can have him any day from here on out. I feel nervous (very nervous this time around...even though I have been through it once before) I must say that I will be so much more prepared this time. Lol. I felt cramps off and on throughout the day as well and the odd braxton hicks. So not sure if it will pick up again or what. I haven't felt contractions yet...but I am gonna go for a walk tonight (if we get everything done) and see if that will do anything (Yes I do want him to come early...but I do understand that if he isn't ready than he won't come in the next few days) I will be happy with whatever happens. I could definitely be pregnant for another 2 Weeks and be perfectly happy...just an FIY! Friday we have our prenatal appointment (and I will be 38 Weeks Pregnant then...if I don't have him by then) so I will be getting the Membranes swept on Friday! So exciting...we'll see what happens! I am gonna get hubby to clean out his basement today after he get's home (I'll probably help him to...but that's his area of the house...and I want it to be cleaned and ready for baby's arrival) We will most likely be spending our time down there this summer and while Isaiah is down for the night! Baby Buys: My Mother-in-Law came home with these the other day for the new babe. I am guessing she got them at Winners :) They were all less than $10/per outfit My new diaper bag! I am seriously in love with it. It was our baby gift from my Mother and I could not be more excited about anything. It is absolutely the perfect size and I LOVE all the features it has to offer. So in love with the print as well :) Happy Mama over here. Best part is it will hold all of a newborns stuff and a toddlers stuff to (and probably Mama's stuff to) Keeping in mind I will have 2 cloth diapered children. This bag was about $180 New. So definitely Thankful for my Mom and her deciding to gift this to us! I picked these up today as well. Another Diaper pail bag and some of our favorite bum cream (all natural) The bag was $15 and the Big tub of cream was $22 and the small ones were $7. We have only used this with Isaiah (bought 2 tubs when he was about 1 month old...and we have only ever bought 1 more) so these last a really really long time (don't be discouraged by the price) especially for a chemical free product. Now we don't plan on using disposable diapers...like at all, but if we do need to use a few of them these are my favorite ones to use. I love pampers swaddlers. So I grabbed a bag (besides we can save them if we don't use them all...we know a lot of people having babies in the next few months who would probably be happy to take them off our hands) And of course Ovol was a staple for us to have on hand when Isaiah was a tiny baby...because he always had an upset tummy and it worked wonders for him (again probably has chemicals in it...but when it helps sooth your babies tummy it get's to that point where they do need a bit of help in the drug department....lol) I bought some more cloth diapers :) Eeeeeee!!! Well actually this was also a gift from my Mother. More for Isaiah at this point though (because we have to fix some of his grovia diaper covers.) I heard amazing things about the Flip diapers so thought I would go that route and wanted to aslo try Charlie Banana for quite some time now :) Then I just got a basic rumparooz diaper cover (fits all sizes) Although the baby will be able to use them as well. Which is why I added them in this post. Last but definitely not least is our newborn cloth diapers. We ordered from this amazing girl Annie. From Dick&Jane Cloth Diapers. Dick&Jane Cloth Diapers Facebook Page Dick&Jane Cloth Diapers Etsy Shop How is Mama Feeling? Well I already told you how I am feeling up at the top of the post :) That pretty much sums it up. Also a lot of heartburn lately....and I have dropped tonnes. How Big is Baby for Week 37? Baby is the size of a Winter Melon. He is about 18.9-20.9 Inches Long (although I highly doubt this because at 39 Weeks Isaiah was born at 17.5 haha) and weighs about 6.2-9.2lbs. How far along? 37 Weeks 6 Days Pregnant Total weight gain and bump measurements: No more tracking... Maternity clothes? My H&M Striped Tee and regular yoga pants :) Stretch marks? Can't see them, but I am pretty sure I have some. Sleep: Yes. Best moment this week: getting the itty bitty cloth diapers and my new diaper bag in the mail. Miss anything? Not really. Movement: Yes. Tonnes Food cravings: Poutine Anything making you queasy or sick: No Gender: Boy ;) Labor signs: no Symptoms: Just Pregnant. Belly button in or out? In (wants to be out) Wedding rings on or off? On.

Full term Baby!!!
