baby bump update

38 Weeks- Bump Update

November 17, 2013

I’ll do a weekly bump update so I can look back and see how things progress and what was happening at various points along the way.

7 days to go!

Holy crap! Just 1 week to go!!

It’s been a busy past week with Dr’s appointments and stuff in general. I’ve been trying to get to bed early but it just doesn’t seem to be enough. Hmm… I wonder why I’m tired?!?! I passed out on the sofa just after 8.30 on Sat night.

We also picked up the stroller this week! We picked out the Baby Jogger City Select because we liked how it handled as well as it’s features and adaptability. We know we won’t really be using it soon since The Bean will be in the NICU for some time and since it will be cold as hell once The Bean gets home but it was nice just to get it. Hell, maybe I’ll go stir crazy and need to get out to walk around the mall or something just to get out of the house and put it to good use. ha!

Getting antsy to meet this babe and find out if its a boy or girl!

38 Week Bump Update

Current Due Date: 12/1/13- BUT I’m scheduled for my C-section on 11/25! Thanksgiving in the hospital!

Weight Gain: per 11.14 Dr’s I’ve gained 12.6 lbs total so far

Stretch Marks: none 🙂

Belly Button: even more shallow but still in!

Clothing: looking forward to getting home every night so I can wear PJ’s and sweats. I think it’s the cosy nesting + cold weather + pregnancy

Cravings/Aversions: can’t stop thinking about Shake Shake burgers and Oreos

Sleep: never enough but having trouble sleeping at the same time. good times…

Mood: good, just trying not to think about The Bean’s surgery and its NICU stay

Movement: our mellow baby is just relaxing in there for the most part, plus it’s pretty cramped at this point.

Milestones: a week to go!!!

What I miss: not having pain in my hips

What I am looking forward to: getting through this week to get to the 25th!!!

36 Weeks- Bump Update

November 3, 2013

I’ll do a weekly bump update so I can look back and see how things progress and what was happening at various points along the way.

21 days to go!

We’ve made a lot of progress on things this week, which I’m excited about. I haven’t felt rushed or any pressure to get things done since I have 3 weeks until the scheduled C-section and they are estimating The Bean will spend 3-4 weeks in the NICU after that. Sure, I know I can go in labor before the 25th but I still know that we won’t be rushing home with a baby a few days later.

But we finally got the room going by picking out the paint (Behr’s Moon Rise on 3 walls and Behr’s Valley Mist on 1 wall) and Price ripping through it and getting it all painted. We have some craft projects to do for the room but it feels good that the painting is done.

As well, the car seat (Britax’s B-Safe) arrived at work on Friday and we picked it up yesterday before the crushing crowds for the World Series winning Red Sox’s parade swarmed the area.

So with 3 weeks to go I feel good. My only ‘complaint’ is that my hips have been bugging me but nothing too badly. Also, if I’m on my feet for awhile then they start to bug me as well but again, nothing is too uncomfortable. I feel so boring whenever someone asks me how I’m going since I just reply with “I’m good” or “I’m fine”. I kinda wish I could wear a shirt with my status on it, like the “Hi My Name is:” name tags but with something quippy since I’m getting tired of saying the same thing over and over again.

PS- That shirt right there is a kid’s shirt. Yep, wearing a kid’s shirt at 9months pregnant. Sure, it might be the biggest size they have but let’s just roll with it…

36 Week Bump Update

Current Due Date: 12/1/13- BUT I’m scheduled for my C-section on 11/25! Thanksgiving in the hospital!

Weight Gain: per 11/1 appointment: 11.5lb total weight gain

Stretch Marks: none 🙂

Belly Button: getting shallower, still in!

Clothing: I wish I could wear PJ’s a lot of the time but maternity jeans or leggings with tunics will have to do

Cravings/Aversions: nothing in particular- as usual. regretting how much candy that I’ve eaten Halloween week.

Sleep: so damn tired again, been going to bed early or falling sleep early on the sofa. Trying not to drink too late at night so that I only get up 2x. But I still silently swear a whole long list of obscenities whenever I wake up.

Mood: Fine, still trying not to imagine things related to C-section, but trying to kick any thought related to The Bean’s omphalocele and the related surgery planned for the day after delivery

Movement: the baby shifts around a lot but I’m not feeling kicks since the baby is Frank Breech. I crack up when I look down and see my belly move from side to side.

Milestones: Price painted The Bean’s room this week!

What I miss: margaritas. I could go for a pitcher at this point.

What I am looking forward to: completing decorating the baby’s room & 3 doctors appointments tomorrow, including another ultrasound and getting to meet the Dr performing the C-section

35 Weeks- Bump Update

October 27, 2013

I’ll do a weekly bump update so I can look back and see how things progress and what was happening at various points along the way.

28 days to go!

Last Sunday, we went out on a picnic with Kemper to enjoy the nice fall day on The Esplanade (my very belated September date day). We ended up walking 3.5 miles that day. I was so tired at the end of it. Well, so was Kemper since we napped together once we got home. In general, I’ve been forgetting how tired I get from being on my feet, even just being around the house at times can get me so tired. But this was so much so Kemper and I cuddled up and slept for a few hours. Bliss.

I also forget about not picking up heavy things. So I got yelled at this weekend when I picked up the 4moms Breeze playard and moved it so that it was in the zone of stuff to make its way upstairs. I moved it all of 12′ and got yelled at. At least Price is looking out for me 🙂

So for the most part maternity pants are stupid. Well, the ones from Old Navy are since the ‘stretchy’ boot cut jeans I got from them were not stretchy so they were basically impossible to get on without anything like belt loops to grab. So I have 2 pairs of pants to return to Old Navy and I’m thinking of swinging to Target to find something there quickly.

I’m thinking I need to rig something up for Halloween ASAP, even just to wear to hand out candy to trick or treaters.

I appreitate all the sweet emails and messages I received from my post about The Bean and its health issues related to its omphalocele. We have a lot to juggle in the first month while The Bean is in the NICU but we know we can get through it. It’s jsut though thinking about now, esp the part when they warn us we probably won’t get to hold The Bean

35 Week Bump Update

Current Due Date: 12/1/13- BUT I’m scheduled for my C-section on 11/25! Thanksgiving in the hospital!

Weight Gain: per 10/22 ultrasound, The Bean is estimated at 4lbs 14 oz and per 10/25 dr appointment I’ve gained 10 lbs total.

Stretch Marks: none 🙂

Belly Button: getting shallower

Clothing: I’m over wearing nomral pants with belly bands for the most part because of how the open zipper is irritating, more than the fit. Ordered more maternity clothes and hoping to make a Target run where I can grab another pair of maternity pants

Cravings/Aversions: sweets and thinking about chinese food all the time but then I know it will just make me thirsty, which means drink more water = more trips to the bathroom!!!

Sleep: so tired so I’ve been trying to get to bed earlier and earlier, or at least fall asleep on the sofa while we watch the World Series games.

Mood: getting anxious with 1 month to go

Movement: the baby shifts around a lot but I’m not feeling kicks since the baby is Frank Breech.

Milestones: we have picked out both the boy and girl name options. So now we jsut need to wait the month before we know which one we’ll be using!

What I miss: sleeping on my stomach, wine, not constantly drinking water = lots of bathroom trips, etc

What I am looking forward to: Price finishing painting the room this week! He got 2 walls done and will get the other 2 done this week. Then we are assembling the crib and decorating!!

34 Weeks- Bump Update

October 20, 2013

I’ll do a weekly bump update so I can look back and see how things progress and what was happening at various points along the way.

35 days to go!!

I feel like I’m burning up some days. I am an oven!! I would prefer to wear tank tops and flip flops but that’s a little weird, plus Price is threatening to throw out my flip flops because he can’t handle me wearing them anymore. So we were out shopping on Saturday and I got 2 pairs of shoes to wear into the fall.

I am so determined to get The Bean to flip and get out of the Frank Breech position that I’ve been trying some DIY things to get things going. Like I have been laying back and propping up my butt and legs to elevate things to get the baby to try to right itself, which would actually be upside down. Plus then I read about putting something cold on the top of my stomach so that baby would move away from it. I feel quite insane doing all of this but I don’t want The Bean’s legs all weird after delivery. They said it won’t be an issue but it still bugs me.

We set up the bouncy chair that my sister gave us at the shower so Kemper would get used to having it around. Plus, so he’d get used to hearing ‘no’ 5,000x when he tries to chew stuffed animals that hang from the bar above the seat. He was really determined early on to get them but he’s getting over it now.

I finally took out my belly button ring. I bet I could keep it in longer but I figure i’ll just take it out now before it does get uncomfortable. Now I only hope that my belly button never gets weird since it still looks the same, only slightly shallower.

I have THREE doctors appointments this upcoming week. Ugh.

34 Week Bump Update

Current Due Date: 12/1/13- BUT I’m scheduled for my C-section on 11/25! Thanksgiving in the hospital!

Weight Gain: guessing around 8 1/2 – 9 1/2 lbs total

Stretch Marks: none 🙂

Belly Button: getting shallower, and I finally took out my belly button ring

Clothing: still a big mix of stuff… maternity pants and regular pants with a belly band paired with maternity and regular tops BUT I finally just ordered a few more maternity things from Old Navy which should arrive mid week

Cravings/Aversions: totally in love with Jelly Belly jelly beans, but other than that I am still pretty indecisive when it comes to picking out what to eat

Sleep: getting really tired again so I’ve been going to be really early again.

Mood: pretty even but I was extra sensitive on Monday and was pretty much drained and ready to cry all day for no real reason

Movement: the baby shifts around a lot but I’m not feeling kicks since the baby is Frank Breech. I keep telling The Bean to move but it’s just not listening.

Milestones: picked up The Breeze playard from work. We will use the bassinet part and set it up next to the bed for The Bean to sleep in before it’s in the crib in it’s room

What I miss: being able to sneeze without the fear of one day peeing. lovely.

What I am looking forward to: Pricer is going to start painting The Bean’s room this week

33 Weeks- Bump Update

October 13, 2013

I’ll do a weekly bump update so I can look back and see how things progress and what was happening at various points along the way.

43 days to go!

I was really worried going to the DR on Friday because I was expecting them to give me grief for gaining a lot of weight since my last appointment. It might have been the 6 hot apple cider donuts that I ate weekend. Or the 2 dinners in which I had steak. And maybe it was the breakfast that included a bowl of cereal and then a half of a cheesy bagel with veggie cream cheese. But I stepped on the scale and it said I had lost a pound since the last appointment, which meant I’ve gained 8 lbs total. Well, being pregnant is the best diet ever then. ha!

My baby shower was held for me yesterday, which is why my mom surprised me by showing up on Friday night. Well, Price knew but I didn’t so it was a nice surprise when I got home. Anyway, my baby shower was amazing and beautiful. I was really anxious about it because I don’t like being the center of attention and you kinda are when you are the focus of the party. Opening presents in front of everyone is the stuff of nightmares for me (Christmas is a horror for me). But thankfully Price was there to help out with the presents and speed things along. Aside from the opening presents part, it was so lovely and fun.

Any tips on getting a baby to flip? Hoping The Bean flips soon since it’s still all tangled up with its hands and feet right up in front of its face. Plus then maybe I’ll finally get to feel some real kicking since I don’t feel any movement related to that now since it’s all balled up. We’ll see how things go in the next few weeks. Fingers crossed.

33 Week Bump Update

Current Due Date: 12/1/13- BUT I’m scheduled for my C-section on 11/25! Thanksgiving in the hospital!

Weight Gain: 8lbs total, according to my DR’s visit on Friday (10/11)

Stretch Marks: none 🙂

Belly Button: getting shallower, but the ring is still in. I feel just stubborn about taking it out. It’s dumb.

Clothing: still a big mix of stuff… maternity pants and regular pants with a belly band paired with maternity and regular tops.

Cravings/Aversions: nothing this past week, but still pretty indecisive when it comes to picking out what to eat

Sleep: getting really tired again. napped yesterday and today

Mood: pretty even but I was extra sensitive on Monday and was pretty much drained and ready to cry all day for no real reasons

Movement: the baby shifts around a lot but I’m not feeling kicks since the baby is Frank Breech. I keep telling The Bean to move but it’s just not listening.

Milestones: had my baby shower yesterday!

What I miss: not having to track how much water I’ve been drinking. I’m getting really tired of water

What I am looking forward to: getting to work on The Bean’s room. Gotta set up the crib!

32 Weeks- Bump Update

October 6, 2013

I’ll do a weekly bump update so I can look back and see how things progress and what was happening at various points along the way.

People we are now under the 50 day countdown. less than 50 days!!

It’s crazy to think that we are only 7 weeks away from meeting our baby but it’s true. Also, crazy to think of all the stuff we have to do before then. The baby’s room needs the most work but we’re not really worried about it since we know the baby will sleep in our room for a while anyway.

I didn’t realize how tired I was from the week of crunch time leading up to the fashion show (esp. considering I didn’t feel like I pushed myself, unlike last year’s 3am late nights) and ultimately that ah-mazing night, until Friday midday hit and boom I was done-zo. Both Price and I napped on Friday since we left work early and I pretty much was zonked out on the sofa all day, until I stumbled into bed.

While my sugar test results were great, my iron was on the low side. So my midwife said to up my steak intake and get an iron vitamin. Done and done. Having a steak salad for dinner tonight!!!!

Speaking of dinner, my sister got us a week (3 nights actually) from Blue Apron meals. I picked it to arrive yesterday so this week we’re gonna have Steak Salad with Chicory, Curried Chickpeas, Walnuts & Apples, Braised Chicken Thighs with Caramelized Peppers & Onion over Creamy Polenta, and White Fish “En Papillote” with Freekeh. They send you EVERYTHING you need. Seriously, everything. They sent us the parchment paper we need for the fish dinner. It’s such a cool concept. My sister got it for us to make having a healthy dinner easier for us to juggle now. (Can’t survive on mac and cheese and cereal only) Price and I are looking forward to continuing it and having it arrive every few weeks so we get to try some new and healthy dishes. noms.

32 Week Bump Update

Current Due Date: 12/1/13- BUT I’m scheduled for my C-section on 11/25! Thanksgiving in the hospital!

Weight Gain: I dunno. I didn’t care to get on the scale this week as I apparently had the strategy to “Eat Everything in Sight” for Friday’s breakfast. Let’s recap breakfast, shall we… 1/4 of a blueberry scone, slice of a gluten free apple breakfast cake, 1/2 a sausage biscuit from Burger King, and half a cheesy bagel with veggie cream cheese. However, I didn’t eat much Thursday before the binge nor afterwards on Friday. Whatever.

Stretch Marks: none 🙂

Belly Button: starting to get shallower, but the ring is still in. I feel just stubborn about taking it out. It’s dumb.

Clothing: still a big mix of stuff… maternity pants and regular pants with a belly band paired with maternity and regular tops.

Cravings/Aversions: We had the pizza I was craving from Prince’s Pizzeria yesterday. It’s just so damn good. However, the thought of eggs, esp scrambled ones, has me gaggy.

Sleep: sooo tired. I can’t wait to nap later on today.

Mood: good, but certain things has me ready to start the waterworks and not stop.

Movement: I feel the big gestures/shifts but there isn’t too much movement as we were updated that the wee one is still Frank Breech so there isn’t too much kung-fu going on in there, The Bean is just hanging out folded up in half.

Milestones: had a tour of the hospital on Wednesday

What I miss: wine. damn I wanted wine so badly at the fashion show after party. Actually, I wanted to rip the whiskey on the rocks out of my friend Adam’s hand but I managed not to. Less than 50 days…

What I am looking forward to: my baby shower is this upcoming Saturday

31 Weeks- Bump Update

September 30, 2013

I’ll do a weekly bump update so I can look back and see how things progress and what was happening at various points along the way.

I’ve been sick this week. It totally stinks. It’s just a cold but I’m used to knocking out a cold in a few days by just drugging myself with DayQuil and NyQuil. So this is a big change for me. I mean, not taking 3x of a dose and knocking yourself out is a big change for me. But at least I’m sounding and feeling better so I’ll just ride this out with normal doses of medicine.

I worked on the IIDA fashion show for the past 2 years so I was not going to let the growing belly hold me back this year. For the past few months our team has worked hard on developing our theme and ultimately constructing the 4 costumes in the show. I’ve been working on making wigs for the show, which has been a lot of fun and work. Anyway, it’s CRUNCH TIME since the show is on Thursday. I can’t wait!!

Once the fashion show crunch is over Price and I will dive into the work involved for getting the nursery ready. So the goal is to get to work this weekend moving things around to get the rabbits settled in their new home in our basement den and then hopefully painting the room once it has been super cleaned out. Fingers crossed!

31 Week Bump Update

Current Due Date: 12/1/13- BUT I’m scheduled for my C-section on 11/25! Thanksgiving in the hospital!

Weight Gain: 8- 8.5 ish lbs & the baby was estimated at 3lbs 1oz on tuesday (9/24) so not so bad there 🙂

Stretch Marks: none 🙂

Belly Button: still no change! But removal of my belly button ring seems like it’s fast approaching

Clothing: still a big mix of stuff… maternity pants and regular pants with a belly band with maternity and regular tops.

Cravings/Aversions: nothing that I’m dying to have but I keep thinking about pepperoni pizza from Prince’s Pizzeria in Saugus. The pepperoni gets soooo crispy. noms.

Sleep: stopped taking unisom again since I felt like I didn’t need it but I’d like to stop waking up in the middle of the night to pee. (Doubt that will stop tho!!)

Mood: feeling pretty good but then I get really stress out about the unknown

Movement: not feeling the jabs, kicks as much as I did before but The Bean has been Frank Breech for the past few weeks so I think that could be why. I think being folding in half might have something to do with it.

Milestones: picked out the first name if it’s a boy. still have to select the middle name from the options we have. Still narrowing down options if it’s a girl. We’re down to 3 first names, and again more combos for the middle names.

What I miss: sleeping on my stomach and not sleeping with a body pillow so I stay on my left side.

What I am looking forward to: going on a walk to the beach this week with the dog. He is allowed there again starting October 1st so we’ll change up our walks and go there.

30 Weeks- Bump Update

September 22, 2013

I’ll do a weekly bump update so I can look back and see how things progress and what was happening at various points along the way.

hello sunburned legs and bump

We’re in the Florida Key’s right now on our last vacation before the baby comes. It’s been amazing down here. The weather is incredible and we’ve been having an awesome time cruising around in the convertible and relaxing by the pool since Thursday.

AND of course I got sick- typical clogged ears, sore throat, and stuffy/faucet nose. Shoulda seen me trying to pick out over the counter med’s that are okay to take while pregnant. Solid 15 minutes in the isle with handfuls of meds reading the ingredients list and double checking with the approved list on my phone. Made me miss just grabbing NyQuil, popping it open, and taking a huge swig before passing out. But now it’s all about being careful which ones won’t ‘effect blood flow to the placenta.’ Guess that’s important…

In lighter/funnier news, we were walking around Key West yesterday and near the end of the day I was whining how I had a cramp that I occasionally get on my right side. Stopping and waiting for it to pass typically helps but I was so hot and just wanted to get back to the car so I just kept going while holding my side. So I was joking to Price how I looked like Joey on Friends when he had the hernia.

Hey Timmy, I’ve got a surprise for you…

30 Week Bump Update

Current Due Date: 12/1/13- BUT I’m scheduled for my C-section on 11/25! Thanksgiving in the hospital!

Weight Gain: 7ish pounds? I’ll find out on Tuesday at my next appointment, you know, after I’ve stuffed my face with Key Lime Pie while on vacation

Stretch Marks: none 🙂

Belly Button: still glad there has been no change, but the countdown on taking my belly button ring seems like it’s fast approaching

Clothing: mix of maternity pants and regular pants with a belly band with maternity and regular tops still. so a total mix of stuff.

Cravings/Aversions: I feel like I have more aversions now than ever before. While at dinner on Friday night I was reading the menu for a great sounding salad loaded up with coconut shrimp but it had raspberry vinaigrette and I wanted to gag reading it.

Sleep: having some trouble falling asleep so I’m taking Unisom again

Mood: feeling cry-y over things more and more.

Movement: all over the place. When laying in bed we get a kick out of my belly shifting from side to side.

Milestones: currently on our ‘babymoon’

What I miss: boozy drinks. Sitting by the pool with virgin drinks is fine and all but man I miss the rum/vodka/tequila. And can we talk about how the virgin drinks here are $9 and reg drinks are $10. WTF!!!

What I am looking forward to: getting home tomorrow and seeing Kemper and the bunnies. As well as apple picking, maybe next weekend… hint hint.

29 Weeks- Bump Update

September 15, 2013

I’ll do a weekly bump update so I can look back and see how things progress and what was happening at various points along the way.

So what’s been going on this past week?

I had my glucose test on Tuesday morning. It really wasn’t bad- just like flat orange soda. Plus I had imagined it was like a big Poland Springs bottle but it was only about 4 ounces, which is next to nothing. Then it was just an hour of waiting and a blood draw. Pretty basic. The worst part of it all was getting the gauze and tape off my arm that night. So now I just wait on the results, which I hope say I can still eat a cookie when I want!

And then on Wednesday morning I had another Dr’s appointment for an ultrasound. I walked in and had a different tech and *boom* I was miserable. I love my typical ultrasound tech Liz and not having her just ruined the whole experience. It takes me a lot to warm up to people, and I’m now really comfortable with her since I see her ever 2 weeks. Plus unannounced change does not sit well with me. This woman was really nice but it was just not the fit for me. Also I got some of the crappiest sonogram pics ever. Whatever, I’ll get some great ones soon when I see Liz next.

So, I’ve come to find out I’m scheduled for my C-section on Monday 11/25 (more on that later). So weird to know exactly when we’ll have the baby, unless, of course, The Bean decides to show up sooner. So, I’ll be in at Brigham and Women’s for Thanksgiving. Eh, no big. The biggie for me is that my OBGYN can’t actually make it then so I need to meet a colleague of her’s who will actually do it. Like I said, I don’t deal well with change, esp when it comes to people, but I’ll have Price with me when we meet and on the big day so he’ll keep me grounded, i.e. not let me freak/bitch out.

On Saturday, we finally got to Union Square Donuts in Somerville. I had talked about them months ago but we finally got there and holy hell… these are some incredible donuts. Long ago I wrote off Dunkin’ and places like this really enforce why I don’t waste my $ and calories on crappy donuts. They have large light, airy donuts in flavors like Maple Bacon and Chocolate Chipotle. We shared a Maple Bacon, Brown Butter Hazelnut Crunch, and a Sea Salt Bourbon Caramel for a late lunch. Perfection. I warned Price that if I am ever craving a donut he better get in the car to go there ASAP. 🙂

Also, on Saturday we sorta stalked a woman in Target to talk to her about the Baby Jogger City Select stroller she was using. It had been wrestling for our pick with the Uppa Baby Vista. Well, luck would have it, this super nice lady had BOTH. She got the Vista with her 1st child and then got the City Select when she had her 2nd because she felt limited with the Vista. So hearing her feedback related to both and her suggestion to get the City Select has sealed the deal for us.

29 Week Bump Update

Current Due Date: 12/1/13- BUT I’m scheduled for my C-section on 11/25! It will be a Thanksgiving in the hospital!

Weight Gain: just under 7 lbs total. And The Bean was estimated at 2lb 10 oz on Wednesday.

Stretch Marks: none 🙂

Belly Button: still glad there has been no change

Clothing: regular pants when I use the belly bands and still in some regular tops but adding in more of the new maternity clothes I got with my mom last weekend

Cravings/Aversions: I walked by Chipotle on Tuesday and felt so gaggy. I think I will be skipping Chipotle now.

Sleep: having some trouble falling asleep so I’m taking Unisom again

Mood: fine, unless it relates to change

Movement: Found out The Bean is currently Frank Breech (butt down with feet up by the face). Poor little thing is folded up in half!! So I think that is why some movement has been limited recently and most on my left side.

Milestones: we picked our stroller!

What I miss: sleeping on my stomach.

What I am looking forward to: We are heading off to The Keys for our ‘babymoon’ on Thursday morning. (Kemper is staying with our dog walker, who he loves, but I’m sure I’ll still be a wreck leaving him)
