26 Weeks

I can't believe I haven't posted in 5 weeks, time seems to be flying by. Everything is going very well with the pregnancy.  I am pretty sure he is going to be a big baby. A stranger asked me the other day if I was 7 months pregnant, um, nope, almost 6. I don't mind people telling me how big my belly is, it just makes me happy to know he is growing.

So many things have been happening. We moved into a new home, we are still settling in and still need to start on the baby room. We are going back to the midwest for 9 days in a couple weeks and I am hoping when we come back we will get motivated to set up his room. We still have nothing for him, not a crib, nothing. We don't even have any names picked out, not even one. For some reason I don't love anything. I like everything but I just don't love it. I sure hope it comes to us when he is born.

I try to exercise at least 5x's a week and have been going to prenatal yoga which I really have been enjoying. But let me tell you running while pregnant is NOT fun. I miss running so much but as many times as I have to go pee when I run I rather just walk. Seriously on a 2 mile run I will pee 4 times, pulling your pants down behind a bush, while pregnant, is not that fun. I do enjoy the elliptical, walking and some pregnancy DVD I got from Target.

The only complaint I have is not being able to see him more. I haven't seen him since 18.5 weeks and I am currently 26 weeks today.  We plan on scheduling one of those 3D ultrasounds in a couple weeks and I can't wait. I will post another pic again here soon so you can all see this big belly!

21 Weeks & A Pic

Tomorrow I will be 21 weeks. It still seems so surreal to me. Things are going well and I feel like I am really behind on preparing for baby. We have nothing, a few outfits, but that's about it.  I did start a family blog but have not been very good at updating that. I will share when it get's a little TLC. We are busy packing and getting ready to move at the end of the month so things have been hectic. Here is another pic of the bump, it was taken at 20.4 weeks. I don't like how I am laughing in this photo but my husband seems to like it. He's the one who takes the pics.

                                                  

A Belly Pic

I do take pics every week. I am one of those who hates having their picture taken. I instagrammed this on photo, I think it makes me look better. The belly really grew a lot this week!

 I am 18 weeks in this pic and tomorrow I will be 19 weeks.

It's A...

We had out anatomy scan and measurements today and it's a BOY! I was super anxious today and couldn't wait. I just had this feeling it wasn't going to be in the correct position today but it was. It really changes your thoughts once you find out what it is. Not in a bad way, I just feel like I know him better so much more already.

It's Been A While

I have written several posts but have not posted them. I am not sure why. I will be starting a family blog hopefully this week. All of our family lives in the midwest and they really want to see my belly and follow our progress so I will post the link on here if you all would like to see some pics too. It will have way too much information on it so don't feel like you have to follow along.
I am in the second trimester, 17 weeks tomorrow. I have a lot more energy and I am feeling a lot better. Things are going pretty well and I am glad to report things have been pretty boring.  I am walking and doing the elliptical several times a week and it feels great to exercise again. I am going to try to start running at least a couple miles a week as long as I feel ok, otherwise I will just forget about running until after baby is born.
Lately, I am really starting to enjoy it, not that I didn't enjoy it before. I especially enjoy seeing my belly grow, that means baby is growing. We find out the sex on March 20th, we can't wait. I have yet to purchase any baby stuff and probably won't for a while. We are moving into a bigger home in May so we don't want to purchase stuff then move it all. Bad timing on moving but we need something bigger for baby and family & friends.

Graduated

I finally graduated from CCRM on Thursday! We are very excited.  Like I said before I am so happy to not have to do the weekly blood draws, they were a huge pain mainly because I always did them before I went to work to avoid anyone wondering what I was up to.
Today I am 13.2 weeks. The bump is growing but it is pretty small right now so I will post pics when you can tell it's actually a bump and not me eating too much. I finally told everyone at work and all of our friends & family know. Next week I have my monthly OB check up but those are pretty boring. We won't get to see this one again until 18 weeks at the anatomy scan. We can't wait to find out what it is!

Here are my results after a week of no hormone support.

Off All Meds

I finally get to stop all meds. I am so super excited. I am not even scared anymore. I am so excited to not to have to remember to take them, I don't have to go to the pharmacy anymore and I most importantly don't have to have weekly blood draws! I guess I should say I have 1 more blood draw next week to make sure everything still looks good. Numbers keep going up. I don't officially graduate from CC.RM until after next weeks blood draw.

It's February, that means there are a lot of ladies getting ready for PUPO! So excited for you all!
