Baby Lamotta is due September 28th, 2017! Today is 7/717 which means I’m 28 weeks, 1 day pregnant. I’ve finally hit my 3rd trimester, y’all! Woo! Baby is the size of a roller blade! I’ve gained… well, no scales her but I’ve probably lost weight with all this walking in Spain! Midwife appointment this week? Nope! I’m in Spain!! Current mood: Honestly, not feeling very good. I’ve overdone it here and I need to kind of take it easy these next few days. Amy and I are…
I have been so lucky with my prenatal care experience this time around with Hattie. So lucky, that I’m now partnering with my birthing center, Baby+Co, to help all you mamas-to-be with preparing for international travel while pregnant! Baby+Co’s slogan says it all: A modern birth center, built on evidence, delivered with love. Baby+Co. When I was pregnant with Jude, I didn’t travel. Don’t get me wrong, I wanted to, but at the time, it just wasn’t plausible with finances. This time, I’m finishing up a graduate degree which…
I have been so lucky with my prenatal care experience this time around with Hattie. So lucky, that I’m now partnering with my birthing center, Baby+Co, to tell all of you why I’m choosing to go the birth center route this time. Baby+Co’s slogan says it all: A modern birth center, built on evidence, delivered with love. Learn more about Baby+Co here. With Jude, I had no idea what I was doing. I mean, how many moms can say they knew anything about birthing a child the first go around? Granted, this was…
Baby Lamotta is due September 28th, 2017! Today is 6/29/17 which means I’m 27 weeks pregnant. Some say this is the 3rd trimester, others say 28 weeks is! Since my midwife says 28, I’m sticking to 28! Baby is the size of a camping lantern! I’ve gained… 15 pounds! yikes! Midwife appointment this week? Yes! Tuesday night I had my 2nd trimester solo appointment that included my glucose screen. The appointment itself was great but the glucose screen was a nightmare. The organic grape juice was good, thankfully, but when it came time to…
Baby Lamotta is due September 28th, 2017! Today is 6/22/17 which means I’m 26 weeks pregnant. Baby is the size of a bowling pin! I’ve gained… we’re not talking about it. Mmmkay? 😉 Midwife appointment this week? Nope, but I have my glucose screen next week. Yikes. Thankfully I asked for the organic grape juice so I don’t have to drink the watered down sprite-like drink… Current mood: All over the place, honestly. Happy that things are finally coming together with buying my dad’s house (my late childhood…
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…
