34 weeks




My right foot is really swollen!

25 - 26 weeks

I missed a week of photos last week because we've moved!

25weeks:







26weeks:

Can't believe how big I'm getting. Baby is moving up to my rib cage and so my rib area is starting to get sore. We saw her in 3D today at an ultrasound but she was completely asleep and would not move her arms away from her face. We only got about 2 good pictures. It was still worth it to be able to see her movements and see how much she's grown!

23 weeks

Baby is active around 9-10am, 3-4pm, and 8-9pm. I guess it's the after meal effect!

22 weeks:

Took some regular week to week comparison pictures.

See how the top of my belly is starting to stretch out? It is really uncomfortable. I'm getting more stretching pains from the top of my belly (thinner?) than the bottom (more skin to stretch?)

Baby is also constantly flipping and flopping, and nudging and kicking about. She has so much room to wiggle. I see my tummy bounce sometimes from her moving. <3>

22 week belly

It's moving up.
I feel uncomfortable sitting sometimes especially after a meal because there's no room for me to curl up. My body is so filled.

We're looking forward to a 3D/4D scan in about 4 more weeks (26 weeks). It won't be for medical purposes so we're paying for it outside of insurance. It'll be worth it to get to see our girl's little face before birth.

21 week belly

One day late today, but here's my 21 week belly.




Went camping over the weekend and boy was it uncomfortable. Although baby was kicking like crazy on Saturday morning from 6am until at least 9am. Today she's a bit more quite... resting after the trip, most likely.

My 20 week bump and 100th post!

20 weeks:




Time's finally flying by. I'm half way through this pregnancy.

19 week belly

Strangers are asking me how far along I am now... and really catching me off guard. But look at how big mah bellah is!

Less than one more week until we can start buying pink frilly things or blue masculine things.

Funny from the front I don't look preggos.

17 weeks:

Sleep is torture. I wake up with the most excruciating back pain around 5am everyday. Body pillow doesn't do much. Also my boobs are soooo painful.

16 weeks

Exactly 16 weeks today! Not much of a change in last week's belly size. I think the bumpage might be moving up though. Not much going on except I've been getting a bit tired the past week - probably from the lack of sleep (pain in shoulder/back/hip/etc from having to sleep on the side).

I got a body pillow - it does help but I think in order to rid of the muscle aches I have to stretch them out first. (yoga time).

16 week OB appointment:

Yesterday was the 16 week OB appointment - nothing monumental as I expected. She found the heartbeat (146?) and gave me a order slip for a dating/sizing scan (which will include looking at the anatomy) but it won't be until my 20th week... a whole month from now! A little disappointed, but just as we expected.

I made the appointment for Friday May 15. But I want to know now!!!

Well, I find consulation in the fact that we're in the middle of purchasing a home, so the month will go by in a flash. We have so many appointments scheduled in the next week for inspections, and signing papers, etc. Then the next next weeks will be packing and moving.... so, May will come in no time!

Can't wait to see you again baby!

14 week belly pics

I'm growing... growing... and growing...

14 weeks:

12w6d

So my sickness in general has been much better starting 2 days ago. I don't have an upset stomach constantly anymore and when I feel nauseous, it's mild, and can be tackled immediately with food. Although, I had a huge preggo brain moment today. I was leaving the house and trying to set the alarm code, and COMPLETELY forgot what the sequence was - even though I type it in daily - and had no excuse... my hubby was like "that's unbelievable!"

Quite interesting.

Also, I can really feel my uterus now. It's very round and very bulgy in my pelvis area, and maybe about an inch above my lady patch. I also have somewhat of a real bump, whoo! During the day a lot of the bump is food and gas, but it's there at night and in the morning too, on an empty stomach. What a great yet strange feeling at the same time. It feels like someone inserted a whoppie cushion in your lower belly and is slowly inflating it. I guess I really notice it because I'm such a slender person and now my belly is being stretched like it's never been before.

Here's a new picture at 12w6d:

12 weeks today!!

I'm 12 weeks! Can't believe and so relieved at the same time that we've made it this far! Never thought we would get here. So glad everything's fine, baby's measuring well, heart's beating great... just have one more hurdle to get over - next Wednesday for the first trimester screening. Hoping for the best outcome.

Took a belly shot this morning on an empty stomach... this is I guess my true belly.

12w empty stomach & no bloat.

Belly shots 11w6d

10w6d

11w6d

It's sort of an unfair comparison because 10w6d's is on an empty stomach in the morning and 11w6d's is just after a cup of water and a huge pastery... so chalk the roundness to food and bloating... cuz in the morning, it does not look this full.

BOOBS!

They grew out of my prepregnancy bras! I had to buy a bigger size bra today because for the last 2/3 days, I felt so constricted and had to keep unhooking my bra during the day at work. I never even noticed because they looked like they fit fine.

Belly shots

Well - the first pregnancy, I took shots of my belly every week... until I found out it wasn't going to work. Second pregnancy, I didn't even get a chance to - it ended so quickly. This time, I didn't allow myself to take any in fear of the first time repeating itself. So, I've only taken one picture so far... at 10 weeks, even though my massive bloating was at around 8 to 9 weeks.

It's all just bloating still, because if I haven't eaten in a looong time (on weekends I sleep in), I wake up with a flat belly. But during the day, I have to rubber band my pant buttons together and the tabs are about 3 inches away from each other still. No one noticed my bloat belly because I wear mostly tunics and flowy tops (thank goodness for current fashion), but at times, I can definitely look 5 months pregnant. Whew.

I have no idea why this picture is inverted, I didn't do it.

Pre-pregnancy (bye bye thin curves)
