    Those Last Firsts

    When J and I got married we knew we wanted to start trying for a baby right away. We wanted a family but we weren’t sure how many children we wanted yet. I was pretty set on having a large family while J was set on just two or three. I think it’s evident who won that battle! I was excited about first seeing those red lines pop up on that first positive pregnancy test. And hear our baby’s heartbeat for the very first time. Feel the soft kicks and nudges in the second trimester, and the harder more pronounced movements in the third. Holding that sweet baby for the…

    Baby #4 – 24 Weeks Update

    How far along? 24 weeks Total weight gain/loss: 2lbs as far as I know Maternity clothes? Yep. With some LLR thrown in as well. Stretch marks? Same old ones I’ve had since Boogie! Sleep: I had been sleeping well, and while I do sleep I’ve been having some CRAZY dreams so I’m not sleeping restfully. Best moment this week: Finally feeling Baby Bear move a lot more, and J actually got to feel him once too! This took much longer this pregnancy despite having an anterior placenta every single pregnancy. Movement: See above 😉 Food cravings: Tacos – from a very specific authentic Mexican taco truck in town. LOL! Gender: Boy Labor signs: None. Belly button in or out? In Wedding rings on or off? On,…

    Baby #4 – 22 Weeks Update

    How far along? 22 weeks Total weight gain/loss: 2lbs as far as I know Maternity clothes? Yep. With some LLR thrown in as well. Stretch marks? Same old ones I’ve had since Boogie! Sleep: I have been sleeping SO well these past few days, however I think that’s because J and I worked our tails off in the front yard the other day, then moved furniture around in the living room and kitchen…. we wore ourselves out!  Best moment this week: I’m finally feeling very distinct movement, both inside and outside! This has been the hardest part of this pregnancy, I’ve had anterior placentas every pregnancy, but it took the longest time to feel movement with this little man!…

    Baby #4 – 20 Weeks

    How far along? 20 weeks Total weight gain/loss: 2lbs total. Dang! Maternity clothes? Yep. With some LLR thrown in as well. Stretch marks? Same old ones I’ve had since Boogie! Sleep: I sleep like the dead, until a wee little Bird comes into our bed and starts kicking and tossing and turning… Best moment this week: We found out that Baby Bear is a BOY! Movement: A little! He was moving all over the place during our ultrasound and I only felt two kicks the entire time. It was crazy! I’m definitely feeling more now though! Food cravings: Pineapple Gender: Boy Labor signs: None. Belly button in or out? In Wedding rings on or off? On and super loose! Yikes! What I miss: Right now I’m missing…

    Baby #4 18 Weeks

    How far along? 18 weeks Total weight gain/loss: Weighed at last appointment and I haven’t gained a thing… big surprise there considering I can’t really eat much! Maternity clothes? Yep. With some LLR thrown in as well. Stretch marks? Same old ones I’ve had since Boogie! Sleep: I sleep okay, nights when Bird climbs into bed with us are rough because she tosses and turns, but when she sleeps in her own bed all night I sleep great! Best moment this week: We took a trip to Ohio to see my mom’s side of the family, it’s been 2 years since we’d seen most of them and 9 years for a few others! Movement: Very few, this dang…
