Text of the page (random words):
ap book and it seriously cracks me up when i ask him what a sheep says and he yells baaaa or the cow and he yells boooo he s at that magical age where you can ask him to do something and he understands and many times he complies he will throw his diapers in the trash for me and he fetched his daddy for me tonight matthew s latest thing is to ask why about everything all day long i am pretty excited about seeing his reaction to this pregnancy a couple weeks ago he saw a friend of mine who is 8 months pregnant and told her your tummy is very big she asked him what he thought was in her tummy and he said i don t know then paused and added a baby she let him touch her belly and he just grinned and thought it was the coolest thing ever so here we are 6 5 weeks 1 comment posted in uncategorized posted by expectingamiracle january 21 2013 michael since i never went back and wrote my birth story or posted pictures still need to do that here are a couple photos of baby michael one from his newborn photoshoot and one from his 12 month photoshoot 1 comment posted in uncategorized posted by expectingamiracle january 21 2013 almost 6 weeks i decided to go back to my re for the first bit of pregnancy i had my hcg and progesterone drawn progesterone 33 hcg 255 then redrawn two days later 9hcg 611 everything looks good based on that so i was happy yes i did feel bad going to the fertility clinic with my 3 year old and 1 year old i asked them if i should find a sitter and they said it was okay to bring them the first day no one was in the office but the second day there were several couples but no one seemed too bothered my re came in and recognized me i looked like mom of the year with my unwashed hair glasses on and my kids still both in their jammies at 9 30 a m but hey we all woke up late and i trucked it over there so i could get results back the same day he asked if i was there to show off the kids or if i was coming back i told him i had a surprise pregnancy and he seemed pleased he also got to meet michael he asked how old he was and when i said 17 months he said yes i can see how this pregnancy is a surprise i felt a little sick right around the time i found out and then suddenly just normal i started feeling tired pretty much immediately and now one day shy of 6 weeks i am pretty exhausted i started feeling queasy again yesterday my husband is a trooper i was supposed to go grocery shopping today but i did a lot of cooking and cleaning this morning and then felt sick after naptime since he is flying out of state for a few days for work he pretty much insisted on going to the store for me and taking the little guy he prefers to take the bigger one as he is an easier shopping companion because he didn t want me to overdo it one minute i will feel excited about a new baby and the next i feel overwhelmed and worried about adding another child to our family especially when michael is still so little i just try to keep reminding myself that i am pretty lucky that i am having a 3rd which i didn t know if that would ever happen and we didn t even have to try i feel like i should be enjoying every moment though since it is our last pregnancy baby and it s hard to do that when it s such a shock also i pretty much hate the first trimester and i so want to soak in those newborn days once baby gets here and i m afraid it will all pass in a blur with the busyness of 3 young children such is life huh leave a comment posted in pregnancy 5 posted by expectingamiracle january 8 2013 update i am such a slacker i meant to go back and update with michael s birth story and pictures and everything that has followed since here he is almost 17 months and i still haven t his birth was amazing and he is my sweetie pie mama s boy when i pick him up he pats my back just the way i pat his and he gives me sweet kisses almost any time i ask he has a bad temper when he signs eat he says deet deet and it is adorable he is much more calm and serious than matthew i am also coming back to document something eventful i am pregnant yup it was not planned at all and in fact we were avoiding just one time of not being careful and bam pregnant it just figures huh i have felt for a long time that i most likely wanted a third child but i was not in the least feeling ready for it right now i tested yesterday at 13 dpo and spent the rest of the day freaking out in the long run i know this will be a good thing david has told me i owe him big time since he only wanted two kids so here goes as long as this works out this will be our last pregnancy and our last baby for sure so hopefully along the way i will enjoy this i am 4 weeks today several days ago i felt off but thought nothing of it at 12 dpo i started worrying that i might be pregnant and started feeling physically ill just thinking about it yesterday and today my stomach definitely feels off not sick and not even exactly queasy just weird and i swear i already have to pee more often welcome little baby i wasn t expecting this right now but you are loved already 2 comments posted in pregnancy 5 posted by expectingamiracle february 18 2012 39 weeks how far along 39 weeks baby is the size of a watermelon total weight gain loss i gained 4 lb in one week wow i was super surprised since i ve had a cold and i thought i was eating less than normal so now i m up 31 5 lb i guess my body has decided to pack it on now suddenly looks like i ll probably have about the same amount of gain as i did with matthew i am totally fine with it just so long as it s going at least partly on me and i don t have a gigantic baby midwife just said not to overdo the carbs and sweets and i ll be fine maternity clothes yes and they are getting tighter sleep doing about the same i wake up sometimes i think from a braxton hicks and feel very uncomfortable when i roll out of bed to go pee today i have been super tired for some reason despite an okay sleep at night and a nap best moment this week finally being able to breathe again now that my cold is mostly gone movement still moving fine some movements can be painful especially down where his head is food cravings aversions no one big craving and i ve had several days where i feel a little queasy here and there belly button in or out out it s kind of hard to even tell i have a belly button what i miss not worry about when i m going to go into labor i am 39w2d and i had matthew at 38w6d so since i m past the point i had him i keep wondering is this it every time i start having a few contractions what i am looking forward to having the baby i m excited to meet him the only thing i wish was that we could be more decided on a name weekly wisdom a watched pot never boils o milestones i am past the gestation at which i had matthew less than a week till my edd symptoms braxton hicks are happening quite a bit and then also some real contractions here and there but nothing too intense or regular midwife visit last week doing fine my pulse was a little fast at 92 but bp was great baby is in a good position i can tell when he goes posterior so hopefully he will be easy to flip if he tries to get into that position in labor really we have been over most everything important already my last schedule appointment is this next week and then i will additional ones as needed if i go past my edd 1 comment posted in uncategorized posted by expectingamiracle february 18 2012 38 weeks how far along 38 weeks baby is the size of a watermelon total weight gain loss up another 3 pounds at my last appt yay for 3 lb in one week so that s a total gain of 27 5 i am pretty happy with that maybe i will get up to 30 maternity clothes yes sleep i still have insomnia at night i ditched the egg crate mattress which was keeping my hips more comfy because it s just too hot the temp is set to 73 and yet i still feel so freaking hot this is foreign to me because i am usually pretty cold natured best moment this week last night i was watching a video on youtube on swaddling wanted to brush up on the technique and all of a sudden i could just see myself with my new baby and all of a sudden i felt ready in a way that i haven t until now o i am not super anxious for him to come but i will be happy when he does movement he s still moving plenty food cravings aversions nothing in particular but i ve been sick lately more on that later belly button in or out out what i miss feeling well ugh i am on day 5 of a cold matthew as well and it sucks i really thought i d be feeling better by now my main concern is wanting everyone in the house to be feeling good when baby arrives so i guess i m not quite ready for him until i can totally kick this cold right now i ve got stuffed up nose and that certainly isn t helping with sleep either it s horrible and sore throat matthew has a super runny nose and bad cough and has been as i said to david today a bundle of misery it could be worse he s just very whiny about everything because he doesn t feel well and not sleeping near enough either what i am looking forward to getting over this darn cold my mom coming soon and hopefully baby coming maybe just a liiiittle before his due date we ll see weekly wisdom houston summer pregnancy alex what are 3 things that should not be combined seriously milestones 2 weeks away from my due date less than a week to the gestation i had matthew at symptoms cold symptoms blah back hurts hard to get in a comfy position sitting or laying down and did i mention i feel hot oh and right around when my cold first started i didn t think i was getting sick i thought it was allergies i had a day with quite a lot of braxton hicks after doing too much house cleaning i also think baby was posterior that day anyway i have been taking it more easy since then i don t want to take the chance of baby coming just yet midwife visit a few days ago everything is still going great my bp was up a little 124 70 but she said that s likely because i m not feeling well i was measuring 37 5 i think so that was right on she said she still thinks baby is fairly small 6ish pounds she also was feeling trying to figure out where he head was it wasn t lined quite up with my pelvis but more off to the right but after pushing around on him a little he did straighten his head back over towards the center i think he still has enough room to move around in there even though i m sure it s more cramped leave a comment posted in pregnancy 4 michael posted by expectingamiracle february 18 2012 37 weeks finally trying to finish playing catch up months after the baby was born how far along 37 weeks baby is the size of a watermelon total weight gain loss no new weight maternity clothes yes sleep it s taking even longer to fall asleep at night but i am still tired during the day i sure hope the insomnia goes away after baby gets here best moment this week i got a double stroller off craigslist for 15 so that was pretty cool and david and i got a date night we got dinner and then went for dessert blizards at dairy queen and talked about baby names movement still moving a lot and i feel limbs more on my left side food cravings aversions fruit belly button in or out out what i miss energy and i feel like if i do too much i worry that baby might come too soon so i am trying not to overdo it what i am looking forward to getting all the crap that i just ordered off amazon hah seriously once all that comes in i feel like i will have all the stuff i need and then it s just a matter of finishing well david finishing little projects and picking a name we are down to 4 names now though weekly wisdom milestones 3 weeks from my due date at this point 37w3d i am less than 2 weeks away from the gestation that i had matthew at kinda scary symptoms i have felt kinda spacey a few times hoping it s just being tired also i noticed that i have stretch marks on my belly this time but they are only on my left side i will have to make sure to take a picture i didn t get them last time or at least only a couple waaaay down low that i didn t notice till after i gave birth so i will have to see if these new ones fade or not or if they stick around and here i was thinking i was lucking out leave a comment posted in uncategorized posted by expectingamiracle february 18 2012 36 weeks finally trying to finish playing catch up months after the baby was born how far along 36 weeks baby is the size of a honeydew melon total weight gain loss gained 1 5 pounds from last time so now i m at 24 5 pounds total not shabby i would like to get up to 30 if i can maternity clothes yup sleep same old stuff i go to bed late have trouble falling asleep and then i want to sleep in sometimes i get to and sometimes not still napping or trying to best moment this week got my maternity pics taken i did them with matthew and david along as well so we got some family ones some of david and i and then some of matthew and i it was our first time taking pictures outdoors and i think we got some great shots they were taken by two mom friends one just does it as a hobby and the other wants to do it professionally so she is doing it free right now for portfolio building i ve only posted one on facebook so far and got tons of compliments on it really makes me enjoy this last bit of being pregnant in some ways because i feel like i am getting all this attention and people telling me how great i look it s nice once i have the baby all the focus will be on him rightfully so of course but i still enjoy this part for now haha movement still active i think he has gone posterior a few times but then he does go back anterior still mostly his butt on the right side and then i feel his little foot or something on my left side a lot when he pushes around down low sometimes it causes me to have that pain in my groin upper leg food cravings aversions sweets belly button in or out out what i miss i feel like i ve been having less energy lately and like i want to get stuff done but then don t really feel like putting out effort to do it what i am looking forward to getting last minute stuff done picking a name ack we really need to have it narrowed down at the very least weekly wisdom milestones they wouldn t stop labor now i go in for weekly midwife visits symptoms some emotional days have to watch out for that b c anxiety could mean ppd later since i think i had a little with matthew i need to have david and other family keeping tabs same old late pregnancy stuff back pain tired and man it is hard to get up off the floor if i sit down midwife visit went fine baby was sticking his butt up in the air making my belly have a big point bp and all that is great i was measuring 35 cm but she said it s normal to slow down at the end she still thinks baby is pretty small so i need to have him bake a bit longer which is fine by me we talked about the birth plan david is feeling like a water birth would make him worry and since i had no problem pushing matthew out i plan to get out of the tub when ...
