Baby Lamotta is due September 28th, 2017! Today is 6/16/17 which means I’m 25 weeks, 1 day. Baby is the size of a baseball glove. I’ve gained… well the scale at Baby & Co said I gained 13.4 pounds – however – I was wearing my chunky wedges on the scale so I’d subtract like 2 pounds for those so I’m going to round to 11 pounds for now. 🙂 Midwife appointment this week? Yes, I had my 2nd trimester group visit at my birthing center Wednesday afternoon. This was my first…
Baby Lamotta is due September 28th, 2017! Today is 6/8/17 which means I’m 24 weeks. Baby is the size of a GI Joe. I’ve gained… Good question. Midwife appointment this week? Nope – next week though! Current mood: A bit relieved that I survived another milestone without my mom. Yesterday was her birthday so I bought sunflowers (her favorite) and we bought a watermelon cake (it was vanilla but looked like a watermelon). I miss her more than I can say. Cravings: Carrot cake & banana bread still. I bought some carrot cake along with the…
Baby Lamotta is due September 28th, 2017! Today is 6/1/17 which means I’m 23 weeks. Baby is the size of a barbie doll. I’ve gained… well, I actually weighed myself like 3 days ago and had LOST a pound. So weight gain is approx 7 pounds right now. Midwife appointment this week? No. Current mood: I’m a little down. My mom’s birthday is in a week and this is the first one since she’s passed so I’m trying not to think about it too much. Cravings…
Baby Lamotta is due September 28th, 2017! Today is 5/26/17 which means I’m 22 weeks, 1 day. Baby is the size of a water bottle. I’ve gained… good question. I really need to weigh myself. I swear I’ll do this next week! Midwife appointment this week? Nope. Current mood: I just almost fainted so not in the best mood. Cravings: I’ve been loving fruit lately. Especially strawberries and cherries. Food Aversions: Pizza BUT I was able to eat one with spinach on it the other day. Although, it just…
**This post is a collaboration with Forte Elements. While I have received compensation and free product, as always, all opinions are my own.** Let me start by saying I am normally a healthy mama. I love to exercise and eating right and have been known to go vegan for months on end. But as soon as I got pregnant with baby 2, all my healthy habits went kaput. This pregnancy has been absolutely terrible, especially during the first and into the second trimester. Now that I’m solidly in my second trimester, things are starting to shape up. However, when…
Baby Lamotta is due September 28th, 2017! Today is 5/18/17 which means I’m 21 weeks! On the down slide now! Baby is the size of a baseball hat. I’ve gained… let’s be honest for a minute here. I haven’t weighed myself and while I’m tempted to walk my tush upstairs and do so, I’m also terrified because homegirl is looking more and more like a whale each day. Midwife appointment this week? Not this week! My next appointment will be my 2nd trimester group visit…
Baby Lamotta is due September 28th, 2017! Today is 5/11/17 which means I’m 20 weeks! Throw the confetti! I’m halfway there! (WOAHHHH… LIVIN’ ON A PRAYERRRRR) Baby is the size of a paper airplane. I’ve gained… only 8 pounds! I checked all my baby apps and they said 10-12 is the norm so I have no clue how I’m only 8 pounds heavier. But Erica tells me it looks like I’ve actually lost weight. Perhaps it was the whole being sick most of this pregnancy…
A week after I found out I was pregnant, I wrote this about my grief during pregnancy. I still have some of these same fears, but I feel less terrified now that I know she’s a girl. It feels like my mom gave me this gift from the beyond. <3 —– They don’t tell you how you’ll feel when life begins again. Grief had taught me many things over the last seven months, but it didn’t teach me how to feel about new life. It didn’t tell me how terrified I’d…
Baby Lamotta is due September 28th, 2017! Today is 4/20/17 which means I’m 17 weeks pregnant! Baby is the size of game console controller Baby is a… one more weeeeeek! Thinking girl based on the crazy high heartbeat. Midwife appointment this week? Nope! Current mood: Stressed. Work has been kicking my booty. Cravings: Sweeeeets. Gimme all the easter candy! And root beer and/or cream soda. (the kind with cane sugar) Food Aversions: Still pizza and onions. And random other things. The yucky stuff: This baby is right on my bladder so any time I have to…
Baby Lamotta is due September 28th, 2017! Today is 4/13/17 which means I’m 16 weeks! Baby is the size of an action figure! Baby is a… two weeks until we know! But lately I’m thinking boy. I’m holding high again like I did with Jude. Midwife appointment this week? Nope Current mood: Feeling good! Just busy with work. And glad that Jordan and I finally have a baby name if it’s a boy now. We could not decide on one. We’ve got a girl one too. 🙂 Cravings: Baked potatoes…
