29 Weeks | Our Little Acorn Squash | Baby Boy T#2

29 weeks

Sick baby @ home = no weekly pic this week

How far along: 29 weeks

How big is baby? Acorn Squash

Symptoms: Pelvic/tailbone/sciatica/round ligament pain, acid reflux

Maternity clothes: Yes

Sleep: Sleep is still alright - just getting up multiple times per night  

Miss anything: Not getting easily winded or ending up in pain after walking short distances

Movement: Yep I don’t think this guy is going to slow down anytime soon. Lots of rolling & jabbing movements

Anything making you queasy or sick: No

Have you started to show yet: HAHA

Labor signs: No - just braxton hicks

Belly button in or out: In but it’s getting pretty darn shallow

Wedding rings on or off: Wedding rings on...Aggie ring off

Mood? Happy to be home with my Eli!

Looking forward to: Eli’s preschool Thanksgiving & hopefully getting some decorations hung up in the nursery - pretty sure we were like 100% done with E’s nursery at like 20 weeks...oops!

Best moment of this week: We had such a fun trip to College Station to meet baby Lincoln! Eli wasn’t super interested in him unless Justin or I were holding him but the little he did pay attention, he was SO SWEET!! I can’t wait to see him with his baby brother.

28 week ultrasound stats: HBP 166. Measuring in the 46th percentile. My amniotic fluid was on the low side of normal so they are doing another ultrasound at my next appointment. I had to fast prior to my ultrasound (including water) due to my glucose test (which I passed, hooray!!) so I’m wondering if that’s why my fluid was showing lower because I hadn’t had that issue before. Fingers crossed everything looks good next time! Until then, you can find me chugging water at all times (or in the bathroom...)!

28 Weeks | Our Little Eggplant | Baby Boy T#2

28 weeks

How far along: 28 weeks

How big is baby? Eggplant

Symptoms: Pelvic/tailbone/sciatica pain, round ligament pain, acid reflux (starting much earlier than it did with E so maybe this one will have more hair haha)

Maternity clothes: Yes

Sleep: Sleep is okay but getting up at least once per night. While in Park City it was like 5-6 times/night because I was drinking so much water due to the altitude

Miss anything: Regular altitude ha! Thank goodness the altitude didn’t make me nauseous but it did make me winded MUCH faster than normal

Movement: Yup! Lots!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really

Have you started to show yet: Yep, got asked if I’m sure it’s not twins again *insert eye roll*

Labor signs: Braxton hicks (I think...I do not remember what they felt like last time)

Belly button in or out: In

Wedding rings on or off: Wedding rings on...Aggie ring off

Mood? Good, happy!

Looking forward to: Seeing baby boy on the ultrasound this week & a quick trip to College Station this weekend to meet baby Lincoln!

Best moment of this week: Halloween was SO MUCH FUN with Eli this year! He has been really into it & actually wore his batman costume to pre-school & for trick or treating...I was so surprised/happy! He was a little leary of trick or treating at first but once we ran into his giant group of friends he was leading the pack. We walked around for a bit & then came home & handed out candy with the Blasigs & Fraziers and Eli loved that too! My normally shy guy had no problem dumping candy into kids bags! The other best moment was our whole babymoon to Park City, Ut. Talk about beautiful place! We walked around the town, ate lots of good food, took naps & got 2 spa treatments. It was exactly what we both needed - pure relaxation! But I was sure happy to see my little guy when we got home!

Best moment of this week: Eli LOVED the pumpkin patch. We took him to Sweet Eats Farm in Georgetown and it was so much fun. Way shorter drive than Sweet Berry & we went first thing Sunday morning so it wasn’t crowded at all. Of course his favorite thing was the giant jump pad but he also rode a pony, let me take adorable pumpkin patch pictures, went on a hay ride (where he took 18 million pics with my camera) & went into the petting zoo...he loved the baby goats! He’s asked several times to go back haha

Best moment of this week: Had a pretty laid back weekend after the craziness of his birthday weekend. We had a family date night at Mighty Fine (Now that Eli eats and likes hot dogs, it opens up more places we can take him to eat LOL) & had ice cream after at Creamistry! Such a cool place! And no toddler meltdowns so it was definitely a WIN!
