30 Weeks :)

Yup, I'm sure ya'll are sick of seeing beautiful maternity pictures, so here's me cleaning up after dinner :)

 How far along:  30 Weeks!!! Well, 30 weeks and 5 days, but who's really counting??  Jokes, I'm counting!!!  And you know what, time is whipping by rather fast!

Size of Baby:  The size of a large cabbage...(approx' 43cm long and 1.5kg)

 Best Moment This Week:  Finding a pair of jeans that are super, super comfy, and a pants extender set so that I can actually wear them! Also, suddenly realising that the hideous heartburn that I experienced while pregnant with both boys, is all but absent (touch wood)!!

Symptoms:  So much rib pain!!  And while a heat pack is lovely, there isn't a single thing that actually relieves the pain :(  I'm so very glad that, so long as I don't push myself or take too big a steps, the pelvic pain has eased and now I can actually move!!

Sleep:  This category needs to go under the 'Miss Anything' category, because sleep is something I miss dearly! Getting comfortable is such a mission (I'm such a tummy sleeper)!

 Miss Anything:  Sleep, and extra coffees, and chasing my children ... I really miss that feeling of a nice slow run too..

Cravings:  Funnily enough .. Running ... and cookie n creme ice cream!!

Gender:  Girl! I likely won't believe this until I'm holding her in my arms, I've got my back up boys names just in case!

 Queasy or Sick:  Occasionally queasy, but not really anything to write home about!


 Looking Forward To:  Meeting this little lass and seeing her brothers meet her too!! Snuggling into her and smelling that new baby smell... And seeing my toes... sleeping on my tummy... moving faster than a tortoise...fitting my clothes properly... you get the idea ;)

My standard 'pregnant with a stick shots'.... no pregnancy is complete without them!

And I promise I'll make more effort to get at least one more bump post up before baby joins us in August!

 

Baby 3 - Halfway :)

After looking at all the bump pics I took with both of my boys, I've started to feel a wee bit (or a whole lot) embarrassed by the complete lack of pics/updates/or even mentions of baby number 3!

And so here I am, 21 weeks and 2 days...trying to remember what to write about!....Aaaaand I'm coming up pretty blank! 

So for a brief mid point update...

Baby girl is looking healthy and happy and growing like a dandelion!  We're feeling  pretty awesomely blessed with this wee poppet, and her brothers are slowly warming to the idea that there will be another addition to the household!

This week my goal is to find some energy that isn't spent wrangling my boys, and use it to brush my hair and take a bump pic! (although I could save us all the hassle and just mention here that I'm huge)

So I shall be back, I promise, with an improved update and a pic or two....probably just one though!

'Til then..

The Bump files #1

After oogling everyone else and their growing bumps i finally got round to taking pics of my own!! I already look 20 weeks (I promise im not!)....i blame the weird things that pregnancy does to your innards for that one...nothing at all to do with my constant desire for crappy foods....

Toodles!!  :)
