Baby #3

I haven’t blogged much about this pregnancy….and that's probably for a few reasons! 

   a) I’m tired as HELL trying to work full time, care for 2 children and be a wife!  Owen is currently involved in 2 sports, Daddy is coaching 1 sport and Ella is Ella. Our plate is FULL.

   b) Puking during pregnancy SUCKS!!! When I started barfing around 8 weeks I thought “ok I can deal with this for a few weeks…its going to be ok!” What I didn’t expect was HOW LONG this barfing crap was going to last.  I’m almost 18 weeks into this pregnancy and yep…STILL BARFING!

   c) The term “morning sickness” is a lie! Its should be called “all day, evening, night sickness!”  I have puked at ALL times of the day.  Hours after eating, minutes after eating…WHILE I’m eating!

  d) I REALLY REALLY wanna love food!  But when you have a good feeling that you might be puking after you tend to to be a bit “gun shy”

  e) I really wanted to be as active this time around as I could.  Continue running, maybe even participating in some 5k’s BUT when you can’t keep food down the energy level seems to diminish as well.  Soooo yeah…there hasn’t been much working out for this girl!

  f)  Constipation is a bitch!

   g) Its our 3rd…I doubt people REALLY care about all the details this time around! haha  Right?? Poor baby. lol  Our excitement is the same as the other two…if not even more BUT you know..the world doesn’t always share in the same feelings! haha

Ps. I’m not complaining…I’m just notifying the world about my experience! hahaha Ok I’m kinda complaining. I promise I won’t complain the whole 40 weeks…I  hope.
So anyway…I thought I’d blog about this pregnancy since I haven’t puked today! haha

I’m a little over 4 months in…almost 18 weeks…and its starting to kinda fly bye.  The first 2-3 months seem to drag soooo slowly…but now I’m making the appt’s for the “big ultrasound” and glucose testing..its almost half way done! Oh crap.

My belly is big this time around…I was looking back at pictures…yeah I’m big. Oh well. Whatcha gonna do? I like to think I just cook em big.

  

Of course you know I went back to compare how my belly pictures line up…All taken at 17-18 weeks…

With Owen…
 
 
With Ella….

And with #3…
 

I’m carrying lower than I had with my other two…so regular jeans aren’t fitting so nicely already.  Today I busted out the maternity jeans…and I don’t think I’ll be turning back.

 

I just saw my OB the other day.  She is a new ob to me (mine moved to NY a few months ago)…but I love her.  She does ultrasounds every time I see her.  I love getting a glimpse at the baby BUT its a tricky game for her…show me the baby but DON’T show me the goods.  So my u/s pics aren’t great. Shes terrified I’ll see.

Fingers crossed I don’t barf the WHOLE pregnancy. And fingers crossed I like food ASAP!
