Pregnancy Update: 37-39 Weeks.

HOLY COW THE BABY IS COMING TOMORROW!!!! I really can't believe it, it doesn't feel real. We are so so so so excited to meet this sweet boy and hold him and see what he looks like and AHH I just can't believe it!

Charlie has been so excited and has loved ripping off his paper chains every day. He is going to be the best big brother and I really am DYING to see the two of them meet. 

I've been a little more nervous this time around, I think because I know what I'm getting into as far as how a C-section is, the recovery, and of course the lack of sleep for the first few months. I'm also just anxious about how the transition will be for Charlie, but I really hope he handles it well and doesn't feel neglected. :( 

I have been extra emotional the past week or so thinking about how this chapter of our lives is coming to an end. Change is hard, even when it's amazing change. It's really hard to explain how I'm feeling because I am SOOO happy and ecstatic but a little sad too. I've just loved this time with my Charlie and hope that he remembers it and knows how special he is to me, always. Even if my time/attention has to be divided now, my love for him (and for Baby Boy) isn't divided! I know my heart is just going to grow so I can give all of my love to both of these sweet boys! 

I've spent the past few weeks deep cleaning the house, stocking up the fridge, and Charlie has been on quarantine because we were so scared he would get sick before the baby. Luckily my parents have been so awesome and took him to the park a few times and came over to play with him while I cleaned, so he still had a fun time. He also had one last Nini day, which he just loves too. He's a very loved boy and I am just so grateful for all of the help I've had already! 

Landon got his cast off on Tuesday, so after that we felt like we could breathe! Like if the baby decided to come early, now it would be okay! I really haven't had many contractions or anything though, so I think he's just snug as a bug and in no hurry to come out! That night we broke our quarantine rule and went to see Frozen 2. Charlie knew he wasn't allowed to touch anything and we Clorox wiped the seats haha. I'm so glad we went though because it was our last family outing as a family of 3 and it really was so much fun. Anna and Elsa were there, but Charlie was too shy to say hi. He had been talking about it all day, but when the time came.. he was just too nervous, sweet boy! He did wave goodbye to them as they left. :)

We also had our last appointment with Dr. Smith two Wednesdays ago. I didn't realize it would be my last appointment because they don't make you come in the week you're having the baby. Charlie has LOVED going to these appointments, he seriously loves the nurses and Dr. "Smif." When the nurse called my name this time, he jumped out of his chair and was screaming with excitement that it was our turn. He loves hearing the baby's heartbeat and does the BEST impression of how it sounds. I had no idea it would be my last time hearing it, but I think that's a good thing because I probably would've cried so it's better not to know haha.

Soooo here we go! I have to be at the hospital tomorrow at 10 am so we'll drop Charlie off at Nini and Papa's around 9. The C-section is scheduled for noon, so we'll have Charlie come see the baby after his nap and then grandparents. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! 

Today is such a special Thanksgiving! I know it's one we'll never forget. We spent the morning playing in the snow, making Frosty, and having hot chocolate. I'm just trying to soak up this last day of only being Charlie's Mama. Oh my heart, I love that boy so much! 

After naps, we are heading over to Nini and Papa's to have Thanksgiving with them and also Grandpa and Grandma and Chepa. I'm just so extra grateful this year. My heart is SOOO full and so happy! 

This is my LAST pregnancy update EVER so here we go!!! AHHHH! 

Baby is the Size of a: baby? haha! Seriously, I'm so anxious to find out how big he is. I'm guessing he'll be 7lbs 2oz? 19 inches long? Okay the pregnancy app says he's the size of a pumpkin, which makes sense because that's exactly what it looks like is under my shirt haha. 

Cravings: Same old, same old. I really like Nerds and carbs. 

Food Aversions: Can I just say how excited I am to have my appetite back?!?! I told Landon I want him to go get us burgers tomorrow!!!!! And I already have turkey, miracle whip, and cheese in my fridge ready to go to have turkey sandwiches EVERY day when I get home! 

Symptoms: I've been more nauseous this week which is kind of annoying but I'm almost done so it's okay! I had to take Zofran two nights in a row but didn't take miralax which is a huge problem because Zofran just messes you up as far as your digestive system goes (TMI). Well I didn't realize it, but I had the WORST trapped gas ever and my collarbones/shoulders were hurting soooooo bad. I was crying! It was awful but got better after I took the dang miralax. I can't believe I'm almost done being sick!!!!  

Fears: Of course I'm worried to have surgery tomorrow and I'm worried about recovery will be, but I'm actually surprisingly calm right now. 

General Mood: I've been so emotional this week and cry a lot but I'm very, very happy and EXCITED! 

Sleep: Waking up every few hours to pee, but I guess my body is just preparing for how little sleep I'll be getting starting tomorrow night. :) 

Movement: He has a party every night around 10:30 or 11. It's soooo funny because he's so calm and hardly moves all day and then every night he just goes CRAZY. I can't wait to see it in action tomorrow night. His hyper time! :) Otherwise his movements are really just little stretches and little kicks here and there. He's just the sweetest little boy!!!! 

Looking Forward To: MEETING THIS SWEET BOY TOMORROW!!! WE LOVE YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!

37 Weeks!

38 Weeks!

39 Weeks!

Pregnancy Update: 34-36 Weeks!

I can't believe I'm in the home stretch with this pregnancy! It's sooo crazy to think that we could be meeting this boy in a few weeks. Charlie came at just over 38 weeks, so we'll see I guess. Although, I doubt this boy is going to come soon because at my 36 week appointment a few days ago my cervix was hard and closed.... Lame! At 35 weeks with Charlie I was a 1.5 and 70% effaced and then at 36 weeks I was 2 and 75% effaced. I've been saying all along that this little boy seems more "chill" than Charlie, so here's even more proof. Charlie was like itching to get out and see the world and this baby is just fine chilling in my belly?

Which brings me to my next point, the debate between a repeat c-section or attempting a VBAC. If my body isn't progressing on its own, the likelihood of a successful VBAC are just super low. Technically they can induce you, but they can't give you nearly as much pitocin because there's a risk of uterine rupture if the contractions got too strong. So if my body isn't progressing on its own, and I'm hardly dilated by 39 weeks there's just a very high chance I could try labor and then end up needing a c-section anyway. So at my last appointment we scheduled the repeat c-section for November 29 which is black Friday. We officially have a DATE!!!!! I can't believe it. If I do end up progressing or going into labor on my own, I really think I'd like to try the VBAC but in my heart I just feel like that's not going to happen. So the past few days I've just been trying to make peace with the repeat c-section. I'm mostly worried about the recovery but of course I'm also sad at the thought of never getting to experience "real" birth and pushing and getting to hold my baby right away, etc. etc. But it will all be okay! Because the end result is the same, getting our sweet baby boy safely here and finally getting to MEET HIM!!!!

Charlie is getting soooo excited now that we really are getting close. We made a paper chain to help him visualize how much longer until baby brother is here because he kept saying things like, "our baby will be here tomorrow!" I really can't handle how he calls the baby "our baby." He's going to be the best big brother ever and already loves him sooo much. I'm not sure if I've mentioned it on the blog or not but Charlie named the baby Simba a few months ago but lately he has been calling him an actual name. We've suggested a lot of names to Charlie and usually he's not having any of them, but this is the only name he approves of. Honestly, I think it is what we will name the baby but since it's a secret I can't say what it is. :) I just think it's soooo cute that Charlie helped to name the baby if that is what we choose. What a cute story!

Another exciting thing happened just over a week ago. My family threw me a little celebration for Baby Boy at Olive Garden. It really meant sooooo much to me. I told everyone I didn't want presents, but that it would just be nice to have family together for lunch and celebrate the baby. Of course people brought things and I'm just overwhelmed by the love from everyone for this baby!

In other not so exciting news, Landon has hurt himself TWICE in the past few weeks. It's not great timing and I feel so bad for him! The first injury happened while he was kiteboarding on his new land board. Basically it's like this big skateboard with huge wheels so he can go kiteboarding on land. Well, he fell and injured his wrist in the same place where he got injured from his motorcycle accident 3 years ago. We went to the doctor and did an x-ray but of course they couldn't see anything on the x-ray (he had to get an MRI to see the injury last time) but since it was hurting in the exact same place, the doctor didn't make Landon get an MRI and just put a hard cast on it right away. We were sooo happy about this because the cast comes up Tuesday the 26th and we are having the baby the 29th so if we had to wait for the MRI results he definitely would've had his cast on for the baby which would have been awful!

His other injury happened about a week and a half later. He was going for a quick ride on his electric unicycle and fell. Basically the unicycle is supposed to beep and warn him if he's pushing it too much and then it can do this thing where it stops balancing... But as he went around a corner quickly, it didn't beep at him to warn him it just stopped balancing! So he went flying and tried to roll but hurt his shoulder, got road rash on his fingers and knee, hurt his knee, and then the unicycle hit him square in the back. His biggest complaints now that it's been almost a week later are his back (we think he broke a rib!) and his shoulder.... so we really don't want the baby to come early to give Landon time to heal!

Okay here's the update :)

Baby is the Size of a: head of romaine lettuce. He's about 18.5 inches long and almost 6 pounds. That's crazy! I can definitely feel that he's getting bigger now because of how high his little feet kick me and how strong he is getting with those pushes! 

Cravings: Bread, nerds, potatoes. Just the usual sugar crap I've wanted all pregnancy haha.

Food Aversions: Still not a big fan of meat but I've definitely been able to eat more. Liliana made these yummy french dip sandwiches and I was all about that roast. But the thought of a hamburger seriously makes me want to puke.

Symptoms: I've been really crampy like all day and all night but I guess it's not doing anything because my cervix is still hard and closed so that's annoying. I also still get nauseous most mornings and most nights (especially if I'm up late) but I've only had to take my Zofran maybe once or twice a week which is a miracle! I still take my other nausea medicine (Bonjesta) every night. Who knows if it's doing anything but I'm too scared to not take it haha. I also am taking Protonix for my reflux and it does seem to be helping that sour stomach nausea I was having. I still miss Zantac... :( Other than that just the other typical pregnancy things like sleeping like crap and being exhausted, hips aching, getting out of breath easily... Oh man, the other day I was folding laundry on my bed and I got a notification on my watch saying "keep up the good work!" and it started logging a workout hahaha! I guess folding laundry is now a work out! Oh, I also tested positive for Strep-B... yay.... 

Fears: Still super anxious about BIRTH. I don't know exactly what will happen, but it will probably be another c-section. I hope it goes smoothly and my recovery isn't too bad but Charlie has been extra naughty lately with throwing fits and not listening so I really am worried about how I'll be able to handle him if I'm not able to pick him up and needing to be really careful after the surgery... So yes I am definitely feeling stressed and anxious right now... 

General Mood: I cry a lot (again, Charlie has been giving me a run for my money and it is emotionally exhausting. I am just at my wit's end....) 

Sleep: It really isn't fair that I only have a few more weeks of good sleep, and I can't get good sleep. Waking up to pee, waking up because my hips are aching, etc... I am just tired always. I wish I got to nap every day! 

Movement: He is getting soooo strong and squished. The other night he was pushing up sooooo high on my belly with his feet that my stomach was sooo contorted! I was seriously worried he was going to break his sac! He usually isn't too crazy but he has his moments and that was one of them haha! I love feeling his little feet when he's pushing up on my stomach... they are just SOOO cute and tiny!! I know I will miss this part of pregnancy so much. It really is the coolest thing EVER carrying around your baby with you all the time and getting to know them through their movements. He gets hiccups a lot too, which is just the cutest and saddest thing. He just seems like the sweetest little boy and I can't wait to see him!!!

Looking Forward To: We only have a few more weekends before the baby so we have a lot to do! We get to celebrate our 10 year anniversary and decorate for Christmas on our last weekend so that's going to be really fun. And of course we are just DYING to meet this sweet baby! I really can't believe how soon he's going to be here!!!! 

34 Weeks 

35 Weeks

36 Weeks

Pregnancy Update 29-33 Weeks!

I can't believe we only have 6 more weeks (max!) until we get to meet this sweet boy!!!! Seriously this pregnancy has FLOWN by. I don't even know how time has gone so fast. I guess we have just kept busy!

We had an ultrasound a few weeks ago with my sister, Dr. Aunt Emma as Charlie likes to call her. It was sooooo cute to see our baby! It's weird to think that it might be my last baby ultrasound EVER. He is measuring right on track. He had his little hands by his face and was sucking on his lower lip (which is what Charlie does allllll the time too!) You can also already see his chubby cheeks! He is just the sweetest little guy!!!

Those little hands and little nose!!!

Just look at those chubby cheeks!

These past few weeks I've really been leaning towards having a VBAC (vaginal birth after c-section). My doctor and my sister have both recommended a repeat c-section but I have some big concerns about how recovery will be now that I have a 3 year old and a newborn to take care of afterwards. When I had Charlie, the recovery really wasn't bad, but I was only taking care of a newborn so I could literally lay around all day and just cuddle my baby. This time, that won't be possible. Charlie is just a very energetic and demanding kid (aka a complete crazy pants). So I've been doing a lot of reading about VBACs and I really think I want to try. Of course, I'm scared to death of how recovery will be with a VBAC since I've never done that but we have to get this baby out one way or another and I know it's not going to be pretty/easy either way... ha! So I'm planning on talking to my doctor more seriously about doing a VBAC at my appointment this week so we'll see how it goes. At this point I feel like I want to do VBAC if I go into labor on my own before 39 weeks. If I reach 39 weeks, I'll just do the c-section. I am NOT going past 39 weeks!!! :) 

I have also being keeping busy getting stuff ready for the baby. I swear I've done like 10 loads of laundry for all the clothes, blankets, bouncer/car seat parts, etc. But I'm mostly done with all of that stuff which feels really good! Suzette helped me make his blanket this week which is such a relief to have that done! I am NOT a crafty person, so I really really appreciate her help!! 

Charlie LOVES to hang out in the baby's room and look at all of his things. He's seriously going to be the best big brother!!!

Okay here's the update :)

Baby is the Size of a: pineapple! He's just over 4 pounds and about 17 inches long. 

Cravings: I eat so many Nerds. I don't know why but when I'm feeling nauseous they're like the one food item that seems to help? 

Food Aversions: I'm actually able to eat chicken again, for the most part. I still don't want any chick-fil-a sandwiches, which is a total bummer considering I won free sandwiches for a year like 2 weeks before finding out I was pregnant! But I still don't want most meat... like no thank you on the hamburgers or hot dogs. 

Symptoms: I have had such a crappy time with my reflux since the FDA recalled Zantac. It was like a miracle drug for me! And I had NO idea that my reflux could cause me to feel soooo yucky and nauseous. It's like my stomach is sour? I don't even know how to explain it, but it's a completely different kind of nausea from first/second trimester nauseousness and puking. I started a new prescription a few weeks ago and it does seem to be helping a bit, but I still wish I could take stupid Zantac. Other fun symtpoms include varicose veins on both of my upper thighs (please say they'll go away!!), hemorrhoids (TMI, and so nasty!), and not sleeping super great at night which leads to feeling exhausted most days.  My blood pressure has also been a little elevated, which happened with Charlie so now I just have to monitor at home now. So far, it doesn't seem too bad so hopefully it stays that way!

Fears: Definitely starting to get anxious about birth. I hope I can do a VBAC, but I think I need to be prepared for a c-section just in case. And as always, I'm still nervous about how the transition will be for all of us to go from just having Charlie to having two. I hope Charlie handles it well and knows how much we love him even if we can't give him as much attention. 

General Mood: I'm pretty moody lately. I feel like I have zero patience, but a lot of that could be from how tired and yucky I feel. 

Sleep: Yes please! Give me all the sleep! It's 11 am right now, and I seriously could crawl back into bed and sleep for hours. 

Movement: Oh this boy... he is just so sweet. A lot of the time I don't even know he's awake because he just moves so gently. His movements are more like little pushes here and there but he's definitely not super busy. He also gets hiccups like 4-5 times a day which is exactly like Charlie!

Looking Forward To: Meeting our baby!!!! 

29 Weeks (in California)

32 Weeks

33 Weeks

Pregnancy Update: 26-28 Weeks!

Hello third trimester!!! I can't believe it! We'll be having this baby in 11 weeks (at the latest!!!) I'm seriously just in denial at how fast this pregnancy has flown by. I feel like this baby is going to be here in half a second, so I've felt this huge pressure to get everything ready for him. I know 2 months is pretty far away but I also know how fast 2 months can fly by! So these past few weeks I've been getting everything ready. I've picked up all the baby gear from my sister (thanks Mary!!!!) including the bassinet which is all washed and set up, the bouncers, the baby bath, etc. I also have started washing all the baby's clothes and so far all the newborn stuff is washed, folded, and put away. The 0-3 month stuff is currently in my washer and dryer, with at least one more load to go. This baby has WAY more clothes than Charlie did because I got some from my sister. We also went to JoAnn's and picked out fabric for his baby blanket. Charlie was soooo cute and loved picking it out and then wanted to carry it around the store. When we got home, he was really upset because he didn't want his "cozy blanket" he wanted the baby's cozy blanket... I got a little peak into my future and the fun times that we are going to have with sharing... ;)

In other news, Charlie and I had the WORST stomach bug last week. On Wednesday night Charlie had been acting just fine. We went on our walk, rode bikes, got ready for bed and he was acting just fine. Then I tucked him in for bed and he told me his tummy was hurting and that he needed medicine. This isn't an uncommon thing for Charlie to tell me he has a "fever" or that he feels sick and needs medicine because he really likes medicine haha. Anyway, I just tucked him in and walked away. Two minutes later he was screaming, "MAMA! MAMA!" and I ran in there to see him laying down covered in SOOOO much throw up. It was sooooo sad. I felt so bad that I didn't believe him. The first 1.5 hours, he threw up FIVE times. Then he continued to throw up every hour all night and into the morning. It was sooooo sad. I just slept in his bed with him and when he would start crying I would grab the puke bucket and catch it. Then we'd fall asleep holding hands and start the whole process over again in 45 minutes or so. It was seriously so heartbreaking! He threw up 18 times total over the next 36 hours. I've never seen anything like it! On Sunday morning, I woke up and threw up 3 times in an hour and I knew it wasn't my regular pregnancy nausea...  I only threw up 10 times but still, it was horrible! I was so worried I would get dehydrated and start having contractions but luckily I was able to stay hydrated by just sipping on water all day. 

Charlie snuggling me on my sick day

Finally feeling better!

Lots of snuggles when he was sick!

So, it's definitely been an eventful few weeks around here. Hopefully we are just getting all this sickness out of the way before Baby Boy comes. Seriously, the weeks before he's born we are going to be in quarantine so that none of us get sick! 

Alright, time for the pregnancy update...

Baby is the Size of a: He went from a scallion, to a head of cauliflower, and is now the size of a large eggplant. He weighs just over 2 pounds now!

Cravings: Sugar! Especially sour candy.

Food Aversions: I can eat chicken a little bit now, but I still don't want a hamburger or a steak. 

Symptoms: This past week I've actually been feeling a little bit better. I've had a few nights where I didn't even need to take my zofran! I still get nauseous every morning (like from 10am-12pm?) and most nights I still feel pretty yucky. 

Fears: It's hard to describe how I'm feeling, because it just feels so complicated. Of course I am sooooo excited for this baby and already love him so much! But at the same time I'm totally scared about what this new baby is going to do to our family dynamic, how Charlie is going to handle not having my full attention anymore, etc. etc. etc. I just try to remind myself that giving Charlie a little brother is going to be the best gift we can give him and that he's going to be so grateful to have him, but who knows how he'll feel at first and how the transition will be? Hopefully it's smooth and he just loves him and doesn't feel jealous or like he's not getting enough love or attention. It seriously breaks my heart! 

General Mood: Is tired a mood? Haha seriously sooo tired, always. Which also means I'm usually on edge/don't have much patience.

Sleep: I'm still sleeping pretty good at night other than waking up to pee 50 times. I also feel like most days I need a nap to make it through the day.

Movement: He's definitely a quiet boy compared to Charlie, but occasionally he'll get a little crazy. Maybe once or twice a week, he'll be hyper or something and just go crazy with the kicking. But mostly I normally don't even know if he's awake or not because his kicks are just so little/infrequent. Yesterday Landon had his head on my belly and was talking to the baby. I told him that I thought he was awake, but wasn't sure because he's just so quiet. Sure enough, the baby started kicking Landon's face when he was talking to him! He loves his daddy! :)

Looking Forward To: We are heading to San Diego on Thursday to visit my brother, sister-in-law, and their two girls. Charlie LOVES Evie and Audrey so he is really excited. Wish me luck on the 10 hour car drive though... Eeeek! 

26 weeks!

27 Weeks! And looking rough because this during Charlie's puking extravaganza... :(

28 Weeks!

Pregnancy Update: 23-25 Weeks!

Look at me, doing another pregnancy update and it's only been 3 weeks and not over a month haha! I really need to get on top of this blog because I have so much I want to document and remember but I have just been slacking lately!

The big news for these past few weeks is that Charlie officially moved into his new big boy room on August 17! This was a huge step to get ready for Baby and we have been talking about it for MONTHS. He's been so excited and calls it his "special room" but we had a lot to do to get it ready. It was previously Landon's office and we had all of our books in there so we had to move it all down to the basement. Then Charlie went with me to Hobby Lobby and Target to pick out decorations (he looooved this part, it was adorable! I let him choose how he wanted to decorate and he chose dinosaurs). It turned out soooo cute and he's been doing so well sleeping in there. He doesn't get out of his bed until we come and get him--he's such an obedient, sweet little boy! I of course was crying like a baby when he took his first nap in there... He's just getting too big way too fast. 

Now the nursery is all set for Baby Boy! I'll just keep the same decorations which makes it easy. If we would've had a girl, I definitely would have updated it. :)

Okay here's the update... 

Baby is the Size of a: He went from a mango, to an ear of corn, to a rutabaga these past few weeks. He's about 1.5 pounds and 13 1/2 inches long which seems sooo big to me. I can't believe how fast this pregnancy is going!

Cravings: Right now I'm really into those tiny round tortilla chips. I also apparently really want a big pretzel with cheese dip because Landon was telling me he had one at work and I was freaking out and suddenly needed one. Ha!

Food Aversions: I feel like my appetite is getting a little better? I can sometimes eat chicken if it's breaded, cooked really dry, or mixed in with something like in a burrito. I still mostly want bagel bites though. 

Symptoms: Well my nausea medicine that I take morning and night (Bonjesta) just went from $60/month to $99/month. It doesn't get billed to my insurance either (that would have been like $300/month) so it's hard to justify that much money a month when we are just paying for it without it counting towards our deductible or anything. So I just stopped taking it a few days ago and I've totally been feeling more nauseous. Luckily I still have Zofran that I take at night and definitely helps me to not throw up as much least. TMI story but Zofran totally constipates you, so you really need to be on top of Miralax. Well I forgot to take it for a few days and let's just say I had a really really rough night. It was so bad that by 2 am I was actually having contractions for a few hours and it completely freaked me out. So now I'm just taking my Miralax every day at lunch so I don't forget. It was not fun! 

Fears: I guess I've been feeling anxious lately about how much I have to do to get ready for baby. We have all the major baby items obviously, but it just feels like there's a lot of little things to do. Like I need to get this baby some warm clothes, since Charlie was born in the spring his clothes are all for warmer weather. And I keep having dreams that my water breaks and I have the baby super early! Hopefully that doesn't happen but it definitely makes me feel like I should just get everything ready. I need to make his blanket, get clothes, and do Christmas shopping so I don't have to worry about that with a newborn. 

General Mood: Still happy, but emotional and I get big mood swings. It doesn't take much to set me off. 

Sleep: I wake up like 3-4 times to pee which sucks but other than that I sleep pretty good. I just can't get enough sleep and I always feel so tired!

Movement: YES! Oh my gosh, it's my favorite! I feel so bad because I definitely don't enjoy being pregnant because I am just so sick. But I do LOVE it at the same time! Seriously, feeling this little guy move is my favorite. He is getting more active, but I still don't think he's as crazy as Charlie. Sometimes I don't even know he's awake but then I'll feel a tiny jab. He's also head up, feet down so he sometimes kicks me very low and let's just say it really hurts.... Just a few nights ago we saw him move on the outside for the first time and it was soooo cool! He doesn't kick that strongly very often, but when he does I just can't stop staring at my belly! 

Looking Forward To: Well, I'm not looking forward to my glucose test in a few weeks but I am looking forward to the bi-weekly appointments that come after that. That means we are getting closer to the end and meeting this sweet boy! We cannot wait!!!! I love talking to Charlie about it and explaining that Mom and Dad will have to leave and go to the hospital but then he will get to come and meet the baby. He just squeals with excitement. We love you so much Baby Boy! 

Here are the belly pics from the past few weeks.
