29 weeks

How far along? 29 weeks 

Current weight/ Total Weight gain: 143-145 on our scale, 145lbs- Dr scale & fully dressed. Yes I know big whoop....
Maternity clothes? Pants & shirts but mostly Jerel's shirts.

Stretch marks: Who really knows! 

Sleep: Not too bad.
Best moment this week: Dr. appt hearing baby Jade's heart. my belly is measuring at 29 cm which is good. I was actually measuring at 27 with Aiden at 29 weeks so looks like I am bigger that way but I think that my bump is smaller? I feel smaller. I was also 150 lbs with Aiden so.... my belly is bigger but I weigh less. How does that work?

Miss Anything? Some days I am ready to not be pregnant and others I'm fine. I am trying to enjoy the baby kicks and movements while I still can.

Movement: She is all over the place. Dr. Firth says her head is down & her feet and hands where in perfect position to cause pain in my ribs. She stretches out a ton so I feel her on several different spots all at once. She has also been getting the hiccups at least once a day.

Food cravings or things you can eat: Granola bars, raspberry jam on toast, yogurt, chocolate almond kisses.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Random hot foods.

Symptoms: Ligament pain- I slipped on the ice and did the splits which hurt! Back pain, heart burn which I got a proscription for so hopefully that takes care of that.

Have you started to show yet: Yep!
Belly Button In/Out? Out. Poor belly button.

Bloated: After eating too much.

Labor: Nope

My poor belly button... There is no hiding it, you can even see it through my shirt...

Maternity clothes? Yep. I also don't fit into my own coat any more comfortably so I have been wearing Jerel's.

Stretch marks: Who really knows! Hard to tell new ones from the ones I got with Aiden.

Sleep: Not too bad.
Best moment this week: The baby was pushing out which hurts and Jerel rubbed my tummy and talked to the baby. The baby quickly relaxed.

Miss Anything? Not much.

27 Weeks

How far along? 27 weeks 

Current weight/ Total Weight gain: 140lbs. I range from 139-141lbs
Maternity clothes? Yep. I also love wearing Jerel's shirts cause they are loose and comfy. Around the house  I wear his shirts, yoga pants or sweats and will only wear jeans when I go out. I'm kinda at an annoying dilemma  with maternity pants or the ones I have are too big and my regular jeans  done up cause pressure which hurts so I will usually wear them with a elastic band round the button but that makes them too big. I was fitting into my maternity jeans with Aiden by this time but not with this pregnancy.

Stretch marks: Who really knows! Hard to tell new ones from the ones I got with Aiden.

Sleep: Not too bad.
Best moment this week: My tummy is like a magnet for Jerels hands. He is always rubbing it and saying how cute my little round ball of a tummy is. I also found some really cute material to make a baby blanket with, unfortunately I will have to wait until Christmas to start it... :( (I am getting a Bernina for Christmas!)

Miss Anything? 

Movement: She is always moving & kicking.

Food cravings or things you can eat: Eh... Apples? Loss of appetite yesterday and today.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Random things: Ranch stinks. Jerel had a bbq microwave thing and that really made me sick. So sick I made him take the container outside to the dumpster after he was finished. Even then the house smelled like it forever after. Also going too long without snacking and not drinking enough water. The smell of lunch meat.
Symptoms: Ligament pains have gotten worse. Hurts to lift my legs & getting up off the couch and out of bed hurts. Lots of stretching pain going on. Also might have had some Braxton hicks. I have slowed down my exercising to see if that would help with pain. My back is hurting more and more each day caused by sitting too long on the couch, standing for too long, laying on one side too long. I really can't complain too much because it hurt much more with Aiden. Heart burn.

Have you started to show yet: Yes. My mom says I am bigger every time she sees me....
Belly Button In/Out? Out. Poor belly button.

Bloated: After eating too much.

Labor: Nope 

Wedding Ring on/off: On

I love the face he pulls when he dances!

 He was also loving his sucker.

 Love his cheesy smile. Love my boys!

 This was not 5 mins after getting in the car.

 My silly.

 The weather is getting pretty cold so we bundled him up and played on the swing set. It was too cold so he didn't want to swing for long.

This car mat was actually Jerel's when he was little. He loves cars.

 Being his silly old self. I love getting random pics of him.

 Playing with sunglasses.

  I love that his ears get bent down.

He randomly brings his ball out to sit on it. 

 Aiden loves to do pull ups just like daddy. We keep Jerel's pull up bar in the closet and when ever it gets left open he will find it and pull it over to Jerel to put up.

 Funny little boy. His face just lights up and he gets really excited.

 He also likes to have his face shaved like daddy. When Jerel shaves his face, Aiden is always waiting for his turn.

It must tickle.

 Aiden loves his animals, eating cereal with his hippo. 

 Little stinker climbed up onto the window seal using his bike.

 My cute little stinker. How can I be mad at this little stink when he looks like this!

 

When he goes to sleep he has to have his bear and hippo.

 First time carving pumpkins. Aiden loved his pumpkins.

 Carving his first pumpkin with daddy. He wasn't so sure about the gooey insides but liked the carving spoon.

I love that he put his feet up for this pic. 

 After we were all done,  Aiden gave each of them hugs.

He was also sad to leave his new friends outside and kept asking to go outside to see them.

 We dressed Aiden up as a little skeleton for Jerel's paren's ward party.

 I crocheted his skeleton hat.

I'm gonna miss these chubby, squeezable cheeks of his.

 He didn't care must for the soup they had but he sure loved the donuts.

 For Trick-or-Treating he was Tigger.

 We put his Tigger costume on the night before and couldn't get him to take it off.

Tigger kisses for daddy.

 Trick-or-Treating with his cousins Jaxon and Brooklyn. We went around the block near my moms house. Aiden wasn't too sure about taking candy from strangers. He would reach into the bowl and then just stare at the person holding the candy while Jaxon took one after another.

 We also trick-or-treated at G&G Nielsen's, G Eldon's, G Achatz, ( grandpa Achatz was working)& G&G Page. When we got to Grandpa Eldon's, Grandpa Eldon didn't have his teeth in which scared the pants off Aiden. He didn't even want to go in and was very careful about taking candy from him.

While at my mom's he found a spoon and wouldn't leave it so he took it house to house trick-or-treating and then had to take it to G&G Page's house.

 I love Aiden's face in this one.

 The monkey for some reason didn't want to sit by Tigger.
