21 week 3d ultrasound

 
On my first visit with my obg he decided since I had previous genetic problems, being Kadon having gastroschesis, that he wanted me to see a perenatologist. I really had no concern but obviously didn't disagree, after all they do those fabulous 3d ultrasounds. Good news is the baby is Perfect, nothing to cause any concern at all. The little bug still loves it's hands and is as active as ever :)
Baby Love #5, exactly 1 lb.

2O weeks... I didn't think I would ever get this far lol. I am becoming accustomed to the fact that I will probably be in this state for the rest of my 19 weeks. The highlight, I can really feel baby now. I can't wait for the rest of the family to be able to do so as well. Babies head always seems to lay to the right of my belly button and feet down into my pelvic. Every once in a while it feels like it does a cart wheel and takes the wind out of me, but it's cute. I bought this fabulous new Prego bobby pillow to help sleep, the thing is Fantastic. I've also picked up a few neutral clothes here and there, and washed all the boy clothes I kept. I'm trying to get everything done, I have a feeling I wont last as long with this one, my body is just tired. I woke up this morning feeling like I have grown outward 2 inches, There is no sucking in now. I want to enjoy this next half as much as possible, but then I want to meet our newest angel and squish its face. I'm so thrilled to be on the closing end. We are truly so blessed.

19 weeks and half way there!!! I am Csectioned so my babies are taken between 38-39 weeks. Praise the Lord! We  decided to celebrate with a family photo shoot. although I'm not huge, I'm big enough where I don't look like a whale in my face. And the weather is perfect. Here is some I have been given, I'll add more when I get my CD.

18 week Ultrasound

Hey ya'll it's week 18!
Baby is growing great, it is 8 oz., which is a perfect size. The last time I was in there baby measured a week larger, so thank God it decided to slow down. All the kiddos were able to join for this. It was a very blissful experience, the lady took her time and we were all able to enjoy watching our newest addition wiggle around. Baby really enjoys it's hands, they were everywhere. At the time it was head up and feet down. I can say that is the truth, I always feel as though there are feet in my pelvic bone. I also had a Dr. check up, everything perfecto there as well. All and all so far so good! Enjoy the little beans close ups!

Home School mommy away!

So I'm officially a homeschooling mommy! And a pregnant mommy. I do not know how smart that was, but it is a little late now haha. On a serious note I officially have 2 fifth graders, a second grader, and a kindergartner. Let me be the first to say, no amount of planning can prepare you for this. maybe its my hormones but man oh man am I tired at the end of the day. I do not see having the baby and nursing making this any easier so I must push through. We are on our third week. It is getting into a routine now. My second and K are easy as pie, my fifth have A LOT of work. They say Abeka is rigorous, well they were not joking. In the process of this, unschooling is a must. After 5 years in public school, being on a strict schedule, being told when to eat and when to play, it is really hard to break. They are a little lazy on me, makes me wonder if they slept k-4. I just have to stay on them, show them how important it is to be able to self learn. I trust in God that I Am doing the right thing, and he will bless us in this adventure. In the mean time we are all just adjusting, and I'm trying to keep my house clean, I didn't realize having them home all day was going to create a tornado lol. I hope my kids know how much I love them, cause they are going to owe me ;) ... Hope y'alls kids had a blessed and wonderful first day back at school, I pray they all get the education they need!
XO

14 Weeks

 

 
How far along? 14 weeks
Weight gain/loss: 128lbs
Maternity clothes? Yes
Stretch marks? No
Sleep? Much better
Best moment this week? My ultrasound!
Food cravings: nothing to specific
Belly button in or out? flesh
Movement? butterflies
What I miss? eating anything I want
What I'm looking forward to: getting the house organized
Milestones:


14 weeks! I feel 90% better. The Doc prescribed me some antacids, which is a lot of my problem. The rest is typical nausea, most of the time at night.
So for the last 6 weeks or so this pregnancy reminded me a ton of the twins, and I'm getting big quick. Well what else is there to do, but by a doppler. I love this thing except for the 2 heart beats I hear loud and clear. Hi talk about stress mode. To add more insult to injury, all I hear is how large I am. So this ultrasound was very needed. And it clarified everything my husband said, 1 baby! Hurray! No that I wouldn't welcome 2 with open arms, but lets face it, I all ready have 4 ;)

10 weeks...My oh my it feels like eternity. This is a very rough pregnancy. If you have read the book What to expect when you are expecting, there is a laundry list of side effects, to which I can check off Every one of them. Stretching, cramping, bloating, nausea, fatigue, weakness, just plain yucky. It kicked in around 6 weeks and has increasingly gotten worse. I'm doing my best to stay positive, hoping it will pass at the twelve week mark. I feel so bad I don't even leave the house, let alone answer the phone. I'm very thankful to my children and husband, they are taking great care of us. As for now I live off triscuts and cheese, anything I drink doesn't settle, but I must continue to intake liquids. I trust God is taking care of us. Crossing fingers this passes soon!
