28 Weeks Pregnancy Update

As I sit here on my bed we are going through a cyclone, yes I know that seems totally crazy but i'm pretty sure we are not going to be hit with the ear of the storm, we just have constant heavy rain and we will get some strong winds but not for a couple more hours but fingers crossed it does no damage to my house.

 

 

Ok as for my pregnancy I am 28 weeks today i'm close to that 30 week mark, I have had alot of back pain this week and just felt uncomfortable all the time, my tummy feels very tight and hard and baby is kicking and moving all the time it feels like he's moving 24/7 some days.

 

I've been really tired this week I find myself asleep by 8pm then wake at 7am then I can barley keep my eyes open by 10am, its been driving me nuts.

 

I've also found this week that I look really swollen in my face and hits, I have not put and weight on so i'm guessing its just a pregnancy thing.

 

Braxton hicks seem to have stopped this week.

 

I think that's all I have to update on we are just sitting watching and waiting to see what happens with this cyclone over the next 24/48 hours.

Ry and I have both been sick with the flu this week which hasn't been fun for the little guy because he wants to run around and play but he just has no energy, he has got this really bad cough that gets really bad at night time and when he goes to bed he cant go to sleep even though he's so exhausted because he just cannot stop coughing, so that's been really annoying.

25 Weeks Pregnancy Update

Wow 15 weeks to go, not long now.

I had a obstetrician appointment on Tuesday as well as a ultra sound on Thursday,

Obstetrician appointment went well our little boys hard beat is perfect and my blood pressure is perfect so he was happy with everything and I really had nothing to tell or ask him so it was a pretty quick appointment.

 

 

I had a 25 week scan, they want to really monitor this baby this time where first pregnancy I only had 12 week scan and 20 week scan and that was it now this pregnancy I have had 12 weeks, 20 weeks, 25 weeks and I have I a 30 week scan also they keep telling me that there is noting wrong they just like to be extra carful and as the baby grows it could come up with something so they just like to measure everything just to be safe then sorry.

 

TMI but ive had a really swollen vagina this week (I did say tmi)

its been so uncomfortable and annoying but I read and heard that its very common in pregnancy, so I wasn't to concerned.

 

I'm not fitting into any of my pants anymore I think im going to have to buy a pair of maternity jeans.

 

I also have this feeling that this little boy is going to come early, not sure why but I have had this feeling all along around the 35/38 week mark so I have this feeling that I should be getting everything ready asap, like packing my baby bag and hospital bag but is it to soon? I think I might wait till I hit 30 weeks what do you think?

24 Weeks Pregnancy Update

This week hasn't been fun at all, I'm writing this while sitting in bed eating chicken soup because I have a throat and ear infection. Yay!! Not. It totally sucks my pore husband has been given two days off work because I cannot move my head and there is no way I'm looking after a 2 year old haha. But mostly because I have been put on antibiotics and because I'm pregnant and also have epilepsy the doctor is concerned that being pregnant I loose most of my epileptic medication from the pregnancy and then if I mix antibiotics into it, I could end up having seizures. So I need to be very careful as well as watching our little man can become dangerous if I become ill. 

But ill be good, ill feel better soon.

So other than feeling sick I have been feeling pretty well the baby's heart beat is at 140 and my uterus is at the right spot for 24 weeks so that's all good.

Baby has been very active. I have been so hungry all the time and I'm also so thirsty all the time which I find strange for some reason.

My hair I have noticed is always so oily even if I pile dry shampoo into it, it still feels and looks oily.

I think I'm going to have to start putting baby powder in before bed every night, don't worry I am still washing my hair everyday sometimes twice so its not dirty it must be just a hormone thing.

It's Australia Day long weekend this weekend so we might go to the beach depending on how I'm feeling. 

I think that's really all I have to update.

16 Weeks Pregnancy Update

4 months pregnant guys, arrhh going so quick, Ive got my in-laws staying at the moment mmm deep breaths haha no there not to bad. but once there gone we can start cleaning out that room because that will be our nursery so I'm alittle bit excited about that because then our little guy can help set it all up and be apart of the process I think we will get into that the week after Christmas after we are back from my parents house.

 

We are going to paint the cot because our little guy really went for it on the rails with his teething, when he was in the cot, so there's alot of teeth marks in the rails but we will paint it and put some rubber rail covers over it so the new baby can't eat the paint.

We are also going to paint the rocking chair white as its brown and it just didn't suit the room last time since the cot is white I just want it all to match and be perfect this time around.

 

 

16 weeks I have been feeling pretty good this week, I have been very tired and its very lucky that our little guy has decided he wanted to start napping during the day again so ive been getting to have a sleep during the day.

 

I've kind of got my appetite back, during the day I find myself hungry all the time but when it comes to dinner time I'm not hungry at all and I can only eat half my meal so maybe next week i'll have it back completely, we'll see.

 

There's no real other problems been getting accessional pain in my lower abdomen, and I have been feeling kicks and movement but its very slight.
