16 weeks with Baby #2

Week of April 21, 2013

How Far Along? 16 weeks...woah!

Due Date: October 6, 2013

Total weight gain/loss: I think still only 3-5, though I feel like more, i'm too scare to weigh myself bc of everything I've eaten....I feel like I'm huge! 

Maternity clothes? yes and no, some of my fatter shorts still fit, but for the most part i'm still wearing maternity stuff if I wanna look nice :) plus I bought some new old navy shirts/pants :)

Stretch Marks? I'm forever going to be scared! Though they look lighter to me. :)

Sleep: Sleep has been better YAY! getting up less to pee! WOO HOO

Best moment this week: We've had a lot of great times this week. Getting to hear baby's heart beat at my appointment, visiting Adams parents for the whole weekend and getting to see on of my friends get married. It was a very blessed week. 

Movement: none yet but I know I'm getting close...ahhhh!!! 

Food cravings: chips and good salsa

Food aversions: none

Gender: Adam says no to finding out! thought I'm thinking more and more it's a boy...

Labor Signs: none yet thank goodness

Belly Button in or out? never went out with little man...so still in!

What I miss: I miss feeling like I could eat well and lose weight. I want to eat better and not gain so much weight this time, everytime I feel like ok I need to start my diet, I remember I'm preggo and shouldn't do that. I'm trying to eat healthier but i'm not always very successful. It actually depresses me when I think about gaining so much weight again. I'm truly scared for that. My hope is to not gain as much or even close to it and work really hard to get it off this time, but I don't know how that will go. I wasn't very motivated after Lincoln so we'll see...

What I am looking forward to: Meeting my cousins little boy this weekend and seeing my BFF!!!

Size of the Baby: 

Baby's now the size of an avocado!
Watch what you say...tiny bones forming in baby's ears mean she can now pick up your voice. A few more minuscule changes: Eyebrows, lashes, and hair are starting to fill in, and taste buds are forming.

18 Months a quick update...

Our little booger is 18 months old (a couple weeks ago). I can hardly believe it. Seriously where did the time go? It's amazing to me how much he has grown! He is such a big boy literally!!!!

At his 18 month appointment he was:
35 inches!
95% for height
28 lbs
75 % for weight for his age, but only 50% for all children who are 35 inches regardless of age.

WHAT A BIG BOY WE HAVE!

at 18 months Lincoln is full of personality and just a ball of fun!

He still sleep 10-14 hours a night and takes a 2-3 hour nap daily.
We've recently started not making papa come on the days I go to work because he takes such good naps! :)
He loves food, all food, any food, all the time. The only things he doesn't like too much are red grapes and pastas/grains...I think thats a texture thing
I truly love my days with him and feel so blessed that he is my baby!

Monday April 15, 2013
15 weeks 1 day!

Maternity clothes? yes and no, some of my fatter shorts still fit, but for the most part i'm still wearing maternity stuff if I wanna look nice :)

Stretch Marks? I'm forever going to be scared!

Sleep: Sleeping a bit better this week!!

Best moment this week: Today actually! Adam called in "sick" because he wanted to be home with us, so he went to my appointment with me and Lincoln and we had a nice day just the 3 of us! 

Movement: none yet but you could hear movement on the doppler at the doc office as well as on my home doppler...best $30 I've ever spent. totally worth the piece of mind it offers...

Food cravings: chips and good salsa

Food aversions: none

I look like an obese whale!

Gender: Adam says no to finding out! thought I'm thinking more and more it's a boy...

Labor Signs: none yet thank goodness

Belly Button in or out? never went out with little man...so still in!

What I miss: again this week it's not feeling like a bloated cow!

What I am looking forward to: This weekend. We are going to one of my nursing school friend's weddings and Adams parents are watching our little one and we are making a weekend out of it. I seriously LOVE getting to spend time with his parents!!! I can't wait for them to move here...in like 5-10 years :(

Size of the Baby: 

Baby's now the size of a naval orange!
Continuing the march toward normal proportions, baby's legs now out-measure his arms. And, finally, all four limbs have functional joints. Your fetus is squirming and wiggling like crazy down in the womb, though you probably can't feel the movements just yet.

14 Weeks with Baby Chafin #2

Week of April 7, 2013

How Far Along? 14 weeks...time is FLYING!

Sunday April 7, 2013
14 weeks

Due Date: October 6, 2013

Total weight gain/loss: I think still only 2 as of last wednesday :)

Maternity clothes? yes and no, some of my fatter shorts still fit, but for the most part i'm still wearing maternity stuff if I wanna look nice :)

Stretch Marks? I'm forever going to be scared!

Sleep: I have a bit more energy but even though i'm tried I'm not able to sleep. I will lay there for hours!!! 

Best moment this week: Our perfect little day as a family!!!

yup We took this outside before I went to work...haha

Movement: I broke down and bought a doppler after I had a friend of mine lose her baby at 16 weeks...heartbreaking. I've been praying for her daily. I can't imagine her pain or what she is going through. Pregnancy is such a hard thing and it's so devastating to hear when things like that happen!

Food cravings: nothing really this week either!

Food aversions: none

Gender: Adam says no to finding out!

Labor Signs: none yet thank goodness

Belly Button in or out? never went out with little man...so still in!

What I miss: Honestly only having Adam home. I really miss him. but thats completely unrelated to pregnancy.

What I am looking forward to: This weekend. We are hoping to take Lincoln somewhere fun!

Size of the Baby:

Baby's now the size of a lemon!
Your adorable little fetus is busy with thumb sucking, toe wiggling, (not so cute but equally amazing) making urine, and breathing amniotic fluid as the liver, kidneys, and spleen continue to develop. Lanugo (thin, downy hair) is growing all over her body for warmth.
