For half a second, I thought I was twenty-five weeks pregnant this week. I had to look up last week’s bumpdate in order to figure out what week I was. That’s just a second pregnancy for ya. 😉 I am 24 (not 25) weeks pregnant this week! This is a big week for baby #2 …
Spring has unfurled slowly this year, leaf by leaf. It has been such a beautiful experience, with both of my pregnancies, that the day I started feeling better physically directly corresponded with the arrival of spring. I have always been sickest in my first trimester, which then turns into dreadful headaches and continued food aversions …
Time for another bumpdate! This has been the easiest week so far in pregnancy-land! We learned a lot of good news last week at our anatomy scan, and this week my symptoms have been at an all time low, food has started tasting better (just in time for Easter) and Gideon and I have been …
Will Gideon be in every bump date? Most likely. I mean, he was in all the original bump dates, now wasn’t he? 😉 The past two weeks have been a bit tough, and busy! For the past few weeks I’ve struggled on and off with migraines which then lead to decreased appetite and nausea. This …
The day that I was planning on posting my 37-week bump date, I was in the hospital delivering our baby boy instead. I had my 37-week bump date written early last week, and the morning of August 10th–when I was 37 weeks and 2 days pregnant–I was planning on getting up, driving to a park, …
You guys, I only have ONE midwife appointment left before I deliver Baby L! I am SO excited about this!! My appointment this week, actually went really, really well! Part of that was no additional bad news was revealed (thank you, Lord) and the other part that made it better was that my Mom went …
Only three—or maybe two—weeks left. My midwife appointments are always a bit dramatic these days. Unfortunately, this week’s appointment was not tear-free. I had wanted to do another ultrasound, on the off-chance that the placenta would’ve moved by now, but my midwife squashed that idea: she said there was absolutely no chance that the placenta would have …
We made it to 34 Weeks pregnant!! If you heard a gusty sigh of relief, that was me after I read in my weekly Mama Natural update that “babies born at 34 weeks with no other health issues are usually healthy and need nothing more than a little time in the neonatal nursery. Phew!”. Phew, …
FIVE WEEKS LEFT You know that you are getting to the end of your pregnancy, when someone asks you “how long?” and you automatically answer with how many weeks you have remaining rather than how many weeks you are in your pregnancy. I remember being five weeks pregnant, and now I am five weeks away …
We scheduled baby L’s birthday last week. It was the most bizarre thing, my midwife called me, I looked at my calendar, and we chose a date for this baby to be born. If everything goes according to plan (with placenta previa, everyone is just hoping that I’ll make it to the c-section without bleeding/early …
