Week 22

Week 22

How big is the baby:  She is the size of a spaghetti squash! Roughly (8 in, l lb)

Weight Gain/Loss:  I honestly have no idea! :P

Cravings:  Omg. Honey Buns w/melted butter. Hehe! Yummyness!

Food Aversions:  Oh, it is still meat. Yuck. Although!! Improvement! I ate ground turkey meat in my spaghetti last night! And it was actually really good! 

People's Comments:  Nothing too crazy yet! I think mostly because I'm not showing too crazy yet either. 

General Mood:  Happy. So happy. And maybe a little worried again.

Fears:  I guess having two anatomy scans and the second one about the heart kind of scared me. Hadley wasn't very active at either so I guess that's why they couldn't get a good picture of the heart. So fingers crossed. I know the most repeated line I've heard at the hospital is "No news is good news." So as long as no one calls from the hospital then I'll be okay.

Things I was surprised by:  I was definitely surprised by the radiology tech. They have to be very vague and aren't allowed to tell you if anything is wrong. And that is fine. But, do they have to be so cold? 

Things I am most looking forward to:  Well, i'm expecting to pop soon. I mean really start growing(my belly). 

What I think is Cool/Crazy so far:  I was feeling so much movement for around two weeks, now it's just not as much. But! I did get to finally FEEL the kick on my side the other morning! <3

Stretch Marks:  Still in the same places. 

Maternity Clothes:   I REALLY should. lol. 

Showing:  I am! Obviously. But, I can't wait to be HUGE. :P

Movement:  I definitely feel her. I can tell the difference now. But I can't wait to see a foot. <3

Gender:  Well, we didn't get a potty shot at either anatomy scans but she's a girl. I just know. 

Innie or Outie:  Okay, It's still an innie. But IT'S CHANGING!!!! It looks so different already?!?!?

Experimentation

Yesterday afternoon when T got home I was laying on the floor. (My back was hurting.) And so he laid down next to me and I told him to talk to Hadley and see if she would kick. She was already kicking me but not the kind that you can feel. Low and behold, after a couple of seconds of him talking she kicked his arm. It was kind of amazing. I don't know if it was a coincidence or not but it made us happy. :P Now we are just waiting on the day she kicks and I see my tummy poke out. Only a few more weeks. <3 We love you Hadley!

And the growing begins..

I was having a hard time sleeping last night because I was slightly cramping. And there are so many reasons for the cramping. It's actually pretty crazy. Stuff growing, stretching, not enough water, etc. And I know people say "Oh your bump will just show up over night!" Yeah!!! That's what happened to me! Proof! It's not the prettiest picture but you get the point! <3

Week 21

 Week 21 

How big is the baby:  Hadley is roughly as big as a medium sized banana. around 7 inches and the technician said she is around 13 ounces.

Weight Gain/Loss:  Other than the monthly appointments that I have I don't weigh myself..

Cravings:  Cucumbers, Watermelon, and chocolate. lol.

Food Aversions:  Stilllll meat. Yuck!

People's Comments:  I haven't even had any human interactions lol :P

General Mood:  Definitely Happy, but super tired!!

Fears:  I think I will always have fears of losing Hadley somehow, but I just pray and love her as much as I can.

Things I was surprised by:  Nothing this week. 

Things I am most looking forward to:  Seeing Hadley again at our u/s on Monday. (:

What I think is Cool/Crazy so far:  I pretty much think seeing or hearing Hadley anytime is cool and crazy. Probably because she is my little angel. I loves her!!

Stretch Marks:   Just on my thighs. So I'm okay with that! T totally tried to fool me and tell me he could see the start of stretch marks on my stomach. I'm still pretty small so there was no way!!!! 

Maternity Clothes:   Well, I'm just not quite big enough to fit into maternity shirts yet, but I stopped wearing my jeans because they are just so tight! So, tights it is. 

Showing:  I mean, I am showing. But I don't feel like I'm growing much this past month. 

Movement:   Ugh, I want more! I want bigger!!  I do feel some thumps in my lower abdomen though. 

Gender:  I do believe she is still a she. :P

Innie or Outie:  Innie. But T says it looks different......idk.

Hadley Blaire

We weren't told much. But Hadley sure did keep those legs crossed tight. We got this CD with about 8 pictures. These were the best. :P We have another scan because the technician couldn't get a good read on her heart, or something... It was beating just fine(: No worries. But now we may get another try at the potty shot. Although, I just know I have a little girl inside my tummy right now. <3

Look at that little hand at the end of the arm!! On the left! <3

3 years and counting..

 Three years is a really long time and not that long at all. But that's how long I've been married to my love, T. We celebrated the way we have every year and on the very first night (of marriage). Pizza.
 Other things may change, but we still have pizza. Today we played mini golf at Boomers. Great place! I won! 0-2 Although poor T lost his ball, twice. So on hole 17 when he hit the ball and it never came back we called it quits. But it was fun. And raining so there's that. Then we came home and made our pizza, sat our quilt down on the floor, (apparently eating on the floor is tradition too), and ate. And watched the rest of The Hobbit (#2).
  All in all, I'd say it was a great day. And not to mention I have been feeling little Hadley moving around in my tummy all day.
 So, to my main man, I love you! And I can't wait for the many many more years to come!! <3

Half way there-Week 20

I am so excited to post this week. No picture again. I'm sorry, but my belly hasn't gotten bigger. :P

So let's get to it!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Week 20 

How big is the baby:  Baby Hadley is as big as a mango. Roughly around 10oz and 6.5 inches long.

Weight Gain/Loss:  I have gained 3 pounds. That's all! I was so excited! That's so good! 

Cravings:  Chocolate. Yummy!

Food Aversions:  Anything meat related. I can eat chicken but it just doesn't really taste very good to me. 

People's Comments:   Let's see. I don't think anything this week. 

General Mood:  Happy! I still am having little mood swings, but for the most part I am just so so happy!

Fears:  I was tested for Cholestasis. I have been showing symptoms and so my midwife had my blood taken. I'm praying that the results are negative.

Things I was surprised by:  Nothing really this last week. :D

Things I am most looking forward to:  Hehe, baby movement. Like full blown kicks to the stomach where it stretches the stomach out!! Bring em on! 

What I think is Cool/Crazy so far:  Look to "Movement." 

Stretch Marks:   On my hips. I have come to realize it's not from gaining weight, obviously, but my little ole hips stretching out to get a baby out of me. 

Maternity Clothes:   No, but I definitely think I should invest in some pants or shorts, all of mine have been so tight around my waistband that it's starting to hurt and leave indentions. 

Showing:  Still my tiny little bump. 

Movement:   Yay!!!!! So on July 8th pretty late at night, T and I were having our night talk and his arm was on my stomach, kind of digging into my stomach actually and I guess Hadley wasn't having any of that. Because next thing we know, kick. T looked at me with a questioning look. I said, "Did you feel that?" He thought it was just gas or something else. I said no so he put his hand on my belly and then, Kick! He felt her twice!! It wasn't very strong kicks, but it was definitely little somethings!!! 

Gender:  Girl!! Hadley Blaire! 

Innie or Outie:  Innie still.

Week 19

Yay! Week 19 is here! Only one more week and I'll be half way there! I just can't even believe I am already almost half way there! So many big things are coming up! Including Hadley growing like a weed! So let's get this started! :D

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Week 19

How big is the baby:  Hadley is around 6in long and half a pound! My baby girl is half a pound!!!

Weight Gain/Loss:  Well, that depends on what time of the day you ask me. If I have eaten then I look 6 months pregnant. But in the mornings I look tiny. But looks can be deceiving. :P So until my apt on July 13th I don't really know. If I focussed on my weight I wouldn't be a happy lady. 

Cravings:  Chocolate. OH. So this morning, while T was getting ready for work. So sometime before 5am. I was laying in bed, half asleep, when I woke up a little more smelling something absolutely amazing! I think it was barbecue. I don't really like barbecue. So uh, Hadley, no no. lol

Food Aversions:  None. I guess I can say I have had such an easy pregnancy. Besides the hormones. 

People's Comments:  Oh gosh, let's see. "Oh my gosh can I feel it?"~ "Your belly is so hard!!"~ "There is really a baby in there!!" (This one made me giggle, nope, it's a dinosaur.)~ "Can you believe you are growing a human?" (Well, yeah, I mean I remind myself of this one everyday.)

General Mood:  I feel so so so bad for T. My hormones have been absolutely crazy. I am generally happy. But the littlest of things make me cry too. So, yeah, the hormones are cray cray.

Fears:  I have come to the conclusion that Hadley is lazy. But only because I haven't been able to feel her kick me. The flutters haven't been as frequent as they used to be. So it's a little nerve racking to only get to make sure your baby is doing okay every now and again.

Things I was surprised by:  It's real. People will touch your belly. A lot. 

Things I am most looking forward to:  July 13th. I should get to hear baby Hadley's heartbeat. Which always makes me tear up with emotions. And baby kicks!

What I think is Cool/Crazy so far:  I will start out so small in the mornings, and then by the time I go to sleep, I look like I have three Hadley's growing inside me. 

Stretch Marks:  Still just on my thighs! I keep telling myself I am going to get some cream or something but I don't. 

Maternity Clothes:  I bought two maternity shirts finally! They are so cute! 

Showing:  I am! I'm not huge, but It's still nice. 

Movement:  Ahhh, I don't know! I think so! But then I don't know! I think until I see my tummy being kicked out I'm just going to be like, nahhhh. 

Gender:  Girl!!!!!

Innie or Outie:  Innie still!
