Bumpdate - How i'm feeling!!

Guess who's finally "Full Term" ??

ME!!

Ahh can't believe I'm 37weeks! (well 37 weeks and 4 days.. the 4 days count LOL) Which basically means the baby can come any day now! 

Scary but SO exciting!

With every twinge or pain, My thoughts are "Is this it? Is this labour?" Haha! 

Im going crazy with just waiting around, I know the baby will come when its ready but OMG I want to meet this baby NOW! Like i'm seriously about to write a eviction notice ;)

So I thought i'd do something different than my usual Bump Update and just write how I'm feeling just off the top of my head!

Being so heavily pregnant is not the most glamorous look you can be LOL, I'm just at the stage where I want to be in loose airy clothes, no make-up and hair up in a bun and just lounge all day!

I'm usually at home most of the time, my energy levels are so low and its so hard to walk up and down the stairs LOL! I'm really feeling the weight of the baby this week, and with that its hard to walk or stand for long periods of time. I had the same thing with Kayden and he was 8 pounds. So I'm really expecting this baby to be a big baba aswell!

I've actually lost a lot of weight. Im lighter than I was pre-pregnancy weight! Which I was so surprised because I'm always hungry haha!

My belly has grown so much in the last week! Which my back is feeling all of it! And I've also got myself a little "Waddle" haha! So embarrassing but hey, it comes with being pregnant so I'm just going to embrace it ;)

Sleeping is so hard lately! I can barely turn in the bed (Myself and my mam had a little giggle about it) Im constantly getting up for bathroom breaks!

But a huge thing is that my feet are just constantly roasting? Its so weird! Like they are so warm ALL the time that i can't even wear socks! Walking on the tiles is the only relief i have haha!

Kayden is a gem for me lately! He knows the baby is coming soon, and none stop asking questions about the baby! He is just the easiest toddler right now and I'm so grateful for that! All he does is ask for something and I do it for him (If I can manage)

Of course he has his moments where he whinges and cries but he gets over it fast! 

Cravings are not as extreme! I do have the sweet cravings that I can't have!

but a new one is the feeling of brushing my teeth? and taste of the toothpaste haha.

But yeah, My bags are completely packed and ready to go! 

Im running out of patience and just about being done with being pregnant LOL!

But so thankful that I've made it to 37 weeks. With all the things that happened during this pregnancy, all I wanted was to make it to 37weeks and yay we've done it :D!

I've no idea if this baby will come early or not, My GP thinks I won't make it to 40 weeks! but you never know! 

I was 4/5 days over with Kayden! So I'm pretty sure il be over again :)

Well? if everything goes well with the scan tomorrow! which il talk about next week :)

Thanks for reading!

Bump Update!

How far along? 31weeks and 3 days :) 
Weight gain: Haven't weighted myself this week so il update next week ;)

Maternity clothes: I'm usually in hoodie and trackies by the end of the day, as all I want is comfort. So the maternity clothes are only worn when I want to look half decent (LOL)

Stretch marks? I think my old ones are starting to stretch again so they might become longer, but I'm at least remembering to moisturise before bedtime :)

Sleep: I can nap perfectly, but once its dark outside my body likes to reject sleep and becomes really anxious for some reason? I still toss and turn to get comfy and I have noticed that I am more tired theses days. Cant wait to just rest!!!

Best moment this week: Ask me next week HAHA! So stressed with college, trying to finish everything in one week is impossible, I'm even dreaming about what I've to do for the next day 
:(

Miss anything? Not really...

Any movement? Tons! I can now feel the baby hiccup, which in fact it hiccups quite a lot! 

Food cravings: No, I just want to eat what I smell?? Firelighters smell amazing!! and so does my sister's makeup remover! YUM! starting to crave the smell go Vick.. (Same as Kayden)

sickness? Nope :)!

Gender: Surprise :)

Labour signs: Starting to get braxton hicks contractions.. I never experienced them with Kayden. They are super uncomfortable and only last a few seconds! Ive a lot of pressure at the end of the day aswell! 

Symptoms: HEARTBURN! Dam thing is so annoying :( can't even drink water... 

Belly button in or out? In but getting close to popping!

Happy or moody most of the time: A bit moody, just due to being uncomfortable and sore most the time. My back is killing me and I can barely sleep! 

Looking forward to: handing up all my college work at the end of year... I just want to get rid of it at this stage!!

Thanks for reading:)

Maternity clothes: Yes, wearing them all the time, feeling a bit huge these days :(

Stretch marks? No new ones as of what i can see anyways ;)

Sleep: Sleep has gone completely out the window theses day.. Im so uncomfortable at night time. Tossing and turning all night PLUS the bathroom trips!!! Ugh i just want comfort :P

Best moment this week: So last week, after all the stress from the doctors i was finally told the baby is going great :D Im in such relief and just so happy to hear that. Even my blood works came back normal! My diabetes is under control and they are happy with what I'm doing :) So far so good :) fingers crossed it stays that way!

Miss anything? SLEEP! :P

Any movement? So I've noticed this week, that I'm not getting kicked as much.. its more like  body movements than kicks. So i feel a random foot or hand.. Or even the baby turning! My belly goes crazy. I just love it :D

Food cravings: no food cravings.. but my smell is gone so crazy! everything smells so GOOD!! Ugh, a friend in college was cleaning and my god i wanted to drink the stuff, it smelt amazing!

sickness? Nope :)!

Gender: Haha, i might swell get rid of this since were leaving it a surprise :)

Labour signs: Nope, just feeling a ton of pressure. nothing to be concern about since it was the same with Kayden :)

Symptoms: my energy has seemed to of disappeared :( So tired, and napping doesn't help either! Heartburn is a major issue :( !!

Belly button in or out? In!

Happy or moody most of the time: A little stress from college but I'm usually in a good mood :)

Looking forward to: relaxing :) On the go with college work and I've only 3 weeks left :( I'm starting to get upset of the thought of leaving... :'(

Fingers crossed the next hospital appointment isn't going to be as dramatic as the last ;) Will update then :)

Bump update & Rant.

I must say, this past two week has been a total roller coaster for me.

Between hospital appointment, doctor appointments, labour and delivery visit, diabetes appointments, countless times of doing blood tests.. AND trying to get getting college work done. I feel like I've been hit by a truck!!! 

I guess it started with a routine doctors check-up which then lead up to being sent to the labour and delivery ward in mullingar. I was severely dehydrated (I didn't know) and my GP was concerned.

So after three hours being in the labour and delivery, they actually found something wrong with my liver. No-one would tell me exactly what was wrong but that i had to come back in a few day to retest.

So another day, another visit to the hospital. They told me that i was still dehydrated but it wasn't as bad as last week, and they did another retest for the liver.

The next day, I then had a scan in the hospital (28week scan) which they told me i wasn't dehydrated anymore (Success). My pregnancy doctor has recently retired so they had a fill-in..... My god I wanted to slap her! 

Ive never met anyone who was just a complete bitch. Even though she was a doctor and should know  what she was doing.. she had no clue.

She asked me did i have this, that test done, which I did since I was the one who gave the blood and she then had the cheek to say i never did!!!!!

If they did there jobs right and stopped losing my blood work, i may actually be able to keep my own blood instead of giving it to ejits who keep losing it!! GRRRRR!!!

I then told her my dates are changed since i went to the private scan.. And she completely ripped me off.. She said that the private scans have crap machines and the hospital is way better that we shouldn't believe anything they say.. blah blah blah.

I was speech-less! The scan was so clear when i was at the 3d scan, that i could even see my baby swallow!

Anyway, then ANOTHER doctor (Yes two doctors trying to do one job) went to scan me...

I couldn't even make out what was the head or foot. The machine was a complete joke! and they had the  cheek to 'dis' the private clinic. HA!

So she shot up. demanding that i go to mullingar for another scan on monday...

I had no idea what was going on.. was there something wrong? why couldn't you scan me now?

and of course i didn't understand her while she was saying why!

It made me so emotional that as soon as I left the room i started to cry. They had my head spinning and now I've to wait to monday to make sure that nothing is wrong?

They will not know whats going to happen when they see me.. I will be one hormonal pregnant bitch demanding the results and for someone to actually tell me what the hell is going on!! :(

Im so sick of being left in the dark when its my own baby! 

Hopefully everything turns out to be okay so I can just enjoy being pregnant!

Wow. That was a long rant :P Oops!

Sorry that you just read me complaining!

anyways.. back to the bump update :)

How far along? 29weeks tomorrow :) HELLO THIRD TRIMESTER!
Weight gain: Ugh, no weight gain at all. the diabetes doctor told me to expect to lose 4-6kg :o yikes!

Maternity clothes: All day. Everyday ;)

Stretch marks? Yes, on my hips :( have no time to moisturise so i will have them by the time the baby is here.

Sleep: Barely any. Im so uncomfortable lately that I'm tossing and turning all night! The baby kicks my bladder and rolls around all night which makes it very hard to sleep haha!

Best moment this week: haven't had such a good week, but hoping next week someone can give me good news for once :)

Miss anything? OMG! Chocolate!!!!! i need it in my life and its so hard not to have any :( i just want one chocolate bar and to sit down and enjoy it :( 

Any movement? such an active baby! I've noticed if i lean on the table or press the baby will kick me in that spot to move me haha! Its so funny :) My sisters seen a kick from the outside which was cool :) 

Food cravings: Nothing strange this week :)

sickness? None THANK YOU!!!

Gender: ;)

Labour signs: Nope!

Symptoms: Heartburn, its so bad even after i drink water :( very tired this week but other than that i can't complain :)

Belly button in or out? In!

Happy or moody most of the time: very emotional, and still get emotional easily!

Looking forward to: finishing college and preparing for baba to make his/her appearance :)
I can't wait to spend time with Kayden and enjoy the last three months of him being an only child! he's staying with me all day, everyday!!

Thanks for reading!

26week update!

How far along? 26weeks :) two more weeks and I'm in my third trimester :D !!
Baby is the size of an eggplant, 9inches long and around 2pounds.

Weight gain: Haven't put on any weight in two weeks, other than.2kg which isn't even a pound, little worried about weight gain as I feel I should be putting on more. Unless my body is waiting for the last trimester to pile them on ;) So its still at 13 pounds weight gain.

Maternity clothes: Guess who went maternity shopping yesterday :D! ME! New Look has lovely summer clothes at the moment. Got three tops and a nice pair of jeans :) Pretty chuffed with what i got. 
I'm usually not the one to go for 'cliché' tops like 'hands of the bump' 'Pregos' but i couldn't resist this time around! might aswell take advantage of this bump while I can, I'm sure i'll miss it once its gone!!

Stretch marks? Ive noticed a few of my old ones are turning more redder :( so pretty sure its the start of them now. Not moisturing as much as i should be so I'm not trying my best to avoid them either! 

Sleep: Its been a hard week of trying to get comfy, between bathroom breaks and dead legs i can hardly get comfy, but as soon as i drift of, I am out for the night! Starting to get harder to get up in the morning :( Kayden comes into my room as cheery as ever 'GOOD MORNING MAMMY' ..... my response ... '5 more minutes'  LOL! he's a gem in the morning, has no problem getting in beside me playing with his toys and reading his books, those extra minutes really do count ;)

Best moment this week: Nothing exciting this week, other than my easter break :) its so nice to be at home with Kayden and not having to worry about college the next day! 

Miss anything? Not really, since I can go for naps with kayden and at home all day, its been a pretty well rested week :)

Any movement? This baby is strong LOL! More kicks over my belly button this week which could mean he/she has turned (Still a lot of time to do so anyway), My belly is starting to move with the kicks so I can actually see when he/she is kicking which is pretty cool :)

Food cravings: Not really, just if i see chocolate... i have to have it haha! 

sickness? Still feeling nausea after showering, woke up this morning feeling a little ill, but i think I woke up to fast LOL :)

Gender: ;)

Labour signs: Nope!

Symptoms: Tiredness, low energy (Get so tired from cleaning the house lately) HEARTBURN!! my god its been crazy lately! I've been feeling pretty great other than that :)

Belly button in or out? In!

Happy or moody most of the time: Both!

Looking forward to: I've my scan tomorrow which I can't wait :) then just enjoying the rest of my easter!! As when i get back to college its going to be cray cray :( 

Thanks for reading :)

BUMP UPDATE!

Deciding to do Bump updates every week, mostly for me to look back on and remember :)

Starting passed the half way line but sure its a start ;)

How far along? 24 weeks! It's going so fast!

Weight gain: This is a touchy subject as i am not the skinniest person out there, so I've decided just to tell what weight I've gained instead of my total weight.

So, in the beginning i wasn't gaining weight until i hit around 17-19 weeks. I was very sick, which meant i eat little, if not vomited it all up! so as from 8weeks-24weeks, I've gain 6kg which is 13 pounds! 

Maternity clothes: I'm wearing maternity jeans and maternity leggings for about 4 weeks now. Still in normal tops and blouses. but I've popped in the last week so the maternity tops will be brought soon ;)

Stretch marks? Still no new ones! Moisturising when I remember LOL!

Sleep: Sleeping good, Tired all the time! can't get enough sleep!! 

Best moment this week: Bringing Kayden to the St. Patricks parade in Navan. He had no idea what was going on, but he loved it :)

Miss anything? Drinking a cold glass of milk!!!!!

Any movement? Yes, tons!! This baby is VERY active! 6am the most. Wakes me up! its so heartwarming to feel them :) can't get enough!

Food cravings: Nope!

sickness? If i don't eat for a long time, but other than that no sickness :)

Gender: SURPRISE!

Labour signs: Nope!

Symptoms: i can sometimes feel leg/foot cramps coming but Ive been preventing them which is good :) Sore lower back at the end of the day! other than that i feel great :)

Belly button in or out? In, pretty sure it won't pop :P

Happy or moody most of the time: Haha, this week I've been mostly moody! especially to poor Pietro :) 

Looking forward to: EASTER BREAK! one week left of college and then two weeks off :) :)

Thanks for reading :)
