26 weeks!

Here are the 26wk pics...does anyone see a difference from 24wks? I think it looks like im filling out more on top of the bell, like hes up higher, does that make sense?

People have been so nice with their comments lately. Last night 2 random strangers told me i looked wonderful but then today someone said "when are you due, ANYDAY?" GRRR...reminds me of that scene in Knocked Up when shes interviewing the stars and everyone cant believe she has 2 months left...by telling her how huge she is....PEOPLE!

Last night we went to see Cirque De Soliel..it was pretty good, weird, but very entertaining. Today we did laundry and got the dog pen for the dogs...one thing off "the list". We also found out today that our furniture is in!! Its coming July 9th so i should have nurser pics up in the next few weeks!!

Pregnancy wise i feel great! All the same happening are occuring but nothing to complain about. Im sure that will all change in the next few weeks since im rounding the corner to the "uncomfortabel" trimester...but ill take it all in a heartbeat.

I got my 3 hour glucose instructions today in the mail, so im going to make an appt Monday and hopefully have it done on wednesday. My mom is going to come with me so im not too bored then we are going to pick out some fabric for jacks windows.

Have a good weekend :)

24 wk belly pics :)

Heres 18 weeks for comparison

24 wks...they say my uterus is the size of a soccer ball! CRAZY!!

22 week belly pic

this is 12 weeks for a comparison since im wearing the same shirt.

i dont think theres too much of a difference from 20 weeks.

20 weeks!!

Here i am in all my glory at 20 weeks...sorry for the lack of make-up but at least im dressed :)

And here are some super cute pictures of my neice, Sage and her Uncle Pete!

Isnt she just the cutest! Ok, so another week! YAY! This is a huge milestone in my mind. This week was good. Jack is moving alot now but changed position the last couple of days so i dont feel him as often but its still about 10 times a day. My ribs are starting to ache b/c things are getting pushed up which isnt pleasant and my back hurts from the weight of my belly and layin down all the time. But im not complaining at all...im loving every minute!

We went recliner looking today and bought one - EEK! Our first big baby purchase but it can be used in the living room as well when he gets bigger. We are still on the hunt for a crib and matching bereaus - no luck yet but, thats OK since i dont want to buy it until 24 weeks anyways.

I cant wait to feel more comfortable with the pregnancy. I hate being so nervous but i know the reality of things and to tell you the truth i just want september to get here! I want to just have this little man safe in my arms. Thank goodness im getting induced at 37 weeks, i dont think my mind could take being late!

Dr. B never called about the u/s so im assuming everything looked good. I guess ill know for sure on the 29th. I know i should call but if there IS something to worry about i'd rather not know right now.

But im feeling good and each week i start to get more and more excited. I have some little outfits that i just stare at and cant wait to have him here to put him in them. I hope the next 4 weeks fly by b/c then we will be "safe".

18 weeks (5mo.)!! And Pictures.

18 weeks bare belly!!

18 weeks (no PJs this time - surprise!)

We made it another week (Thank you!) Im still spotting but what can ya do? Otherwise im feeling really good. Im starting to get heatburn and queasiness because my stomach is getting all sotrs of squished but ill take it in a heartbeat! :)

Little Babe has been getting more and more active (which is by far the coolest thing). Some days he more squiggly then others, but on his quiet days he gives me little pokes every now and then. When hes active it feels like a fish is swimming along my belly...weird but very cool!

Last weekends scare has set us back on planning. Which is prob bad since we have alot to do.

We have to:

*Clean out the basement

*Take EVERYTHING out of the guest bedroom and put it in the basement.

(these 2 things ALONE will take probably a good month)

*Order furnitire (which can take 12 weeks)

*Possibly paint guest bedroom (see how i cant say "nusery" yet).

*Get dog pen/put up a fence

And thats only what i can think of. I really dont want to get too ahead of myself until 24 weeks, and thats 6 weeks away!

We have 4 days until we know if Little Babe is a girl or a boy. So will it be a Jack or a Lily (yes, charlotte has lost :( )??? I cant wait to know!

16 weeks with pics!

Heres today at 16 weeks. (i really wish i knew how to cut off my head, i always look like shit! in these pictures!) Pete takes them so fast i dont have time to smile!

heres 14 weeks since i never posted it.

So today is 16 weeks!!! Im STILL spotting, which is getting annoying but at least its not getting worse. Its heavier at night which makes no sense since im sleeping and doing no activity- humm?? I hope it all ends soon, that i can go back to work and start feeling normal again. I feel like i cant enjoy this time....

I did get out of the house yesterday. Pete had a meeting in CT so i went with him and afterwards we ate out by the water. It was such a beautiful day!! It did so much for my spirits to get OUT!

Physically i feel fine. My belly is lopsided and Little babe is on the left so i have this bulge there, its weird. Im anxiously awaiting to feel movement. Sometimes i feel little zaps but they are so faint i think its just belly bubbles. I have been getting slight heartburn but nothing bad. My headaches are still pretty consistent, im going to ask tuesday if they mean anything. And, finally, my jaw is healing! YAY!

So i have my OB med appt on tuesday...ill update after that.

10.6 and 5 week belly pictures

Ok everyone better be proud i FINALLY figured out how to upload pictures!! These first pictures are from today & 10 week and 6 days. I actually feel like the bloating is calming down. I have now gained one pound.

This is 5 weeks with a non-IVF pregnancy so the "extreme" bloating" is not present. Now i just have to figure out how to scan my u/s pictures!!
