28 weeks


28 Weeks
 
Size:  Harper is settling into the proper position for birth this week, with her head facing downward. She is now about 2.5 pounds and measures about 16 inches. :) She is busy adding new skills such as blinking to her already learned skills like coughing,sucking, hiccuping, and taking practice breaths. Her sleep now includes the REM phase, which means that she could be dreaming already!  

Total weight gain/loss: I have gained a total of 18 pounds so far.

Maternity clothes: Still wearing what ever fits. Trying my hardest not to buy any more clothes! Although it has become less tempting to shop because this is a really hard body to shop for these days. It's all good for the wallet. :)

Gender: Girl, Harper Patrica <3  

Movement: We've got a little night owl on our hands! She is most active right as I am trying to fall asleep,of course,and through out the night I'll wake up to her kicking my full bladder. I have a feeling I will be taking a lot of day naps when she comes into this world ;) I'm also pretty sure that I felt her hiccuping the other day! Super adorable :)

Sleep: I have been getting used to her night time kicking so It actually soothes me. That is, until the middle of the night when I have the major urgency to use the restroom lol I don't usually have to hard of a time falling back asleep which is good, but I am finding myself getting really tired through out the day at random times so that may be due to my crazy sleep patterns now. 

What I miss: At this point I miss nothing. :) Just thankful that Harper and I are healthy and doing well! 

Cravings: I wish I didn't crave only sweets all the time, but I do, so it is what it is! :) I made Hubby stop and get us some milkshakes (w/ fries of course) on our way home the other day, and that really hit the spot.

Symptoms: I had a day this past week where I was feeling kind of crampy and my tummy just ached. I think she was having a growth spurt because I gained a pound that day and my belly got bigger. lol Gotta love all the stretching that comes with growing a baby! 

Best moment this week: I had never really considered doing 3-D ultrasound before but then a FB friend of mine posted a link to a half off deal for one and we figured we would go for it at such a good price. I am so glad we did it! It was such an awesome experience and it was really cool to be able to meet little Ms.Harper in that way :) Makes me all the more excited to hold her in my arms in about two months give or take! 
Also, on Sunday I met up for lunch with two of my good friends, Leena and Kim, which was a lot of fun and much needed. We all grew up through elementary, middle and high school together. Even though we don't get together as much as we probably wished, when we do, it is always a fun time and we of course always have a lot of catching up to do! Love you girls and I'm so glad you are both doing so well. :) Oh and I really meant to get a picture but of course because of this pregnancy brain, we parted without one haha.

23 weeks and McClure Wedding fun!

Image
This weekend was our friends, James and Kristin's, wedding! They are finally MARRIED and I am so excited for them. :) It was such a beautiful and fun wedding and everything turned out so great! They are such a beautiful couple inside and out and I hope they are enjoying their much deserved honeymoon in Hawaii! Love you guys!                                                 23 Weeks <3 Size:  Your little doll-sized babe is about to chub up a bit. Her saggy skin will start to fit her frame as fat deposits fill things out. Beginning this week, she'll start to pack on the pounds (which means you will too!) and by month's end she'll be double the weight she is now (though you won't be — whew!). Right now, your baby's organs and bones are visible through her skin, which has a red hue due to developing veins and arteries beneath. But once those fat deposits s...

I wasn't sure if I was going to do a weekly update or not but I think it would be fun for the sake of me getting to look back on this super awesome adventure. ;) Also, I have always enjoyed reading blogs and keeping up in peoples lives, so for those who would like to stay informed about whats going on in my pregnancy/life in general, this is for you too!  Baby bump at 14 weeks Size : Baby is about the size of a lemon. 3 1/2 inches. Total weight gain/loss: The numbers are starting to creep up a little bit each week. :) It is sooo nice having an appetite again but now I want to eat all the time! The goal, though, is that slow and steady wins the race. I read that I should be gaining at least a pound a week since I was a normal weight pre-pregnancy.  Maternity clothes: I'm in that annoying stage where my old clothes are starting to get a bit too snug but most maternity clothes are way too loose. So I have been wearing a lot of legging and t-shirts for the time being. :)...

26 weeks I've got the 'smuggling a melon' look going :) Size : I'm not feeling lazy today so I will actually talk about Harper's developments this week instead of just copying and pasting. ;) This week she has hit the TWO pound mark! And she measures about 9 plus inches. Her eyes are beginning to open this week as well! Although there's not much for her to look at in my womb, she moves more if she senses light (or hears loud noises). I actually just went to a movie and she was moving like crazy through most of it. Now I know why! It was noisy :) All this responsiveness is connected to the fact that her brain is more developed and sophisticated at this point! Yay!  Total weight gain/loss: Things have been staying pretty steady this past week. Maybe I need to eat more? haha I can totally work with that!  Maternity clothes:   I am wearing a lot of the same things over and over again due to the limited amount of things that will fit. It ...
