I started taking pictures at this point because it's really when I started to show. This week I was feeling very nauseated but I didnt have any morning sickness in my first trimester. Yes I know I'm very lucky. I also realised in this pic to what extent I have no butt. lol

I've noticed this week that i've lost some weight since the begning of my pregnancy. I've lost about 7lbs. I'm still not sick and the nausea has passed. I'm having a hard time eating foods other than fruits and veggies. I'm so tiered this week it's unreal. Bed time has become 8pm. I'm trying to eat more high protein foods to get my energy back. |
| |
Pretty much the same here. I'm still at the same weight. The fatigue is still with me. This week was Thanksgiving and I received my first registry item. Thanks Nicole!!!!! |
| |
I'm going to start by saying, no it's not twins. I'm pretty sure. Amanda i'm looking at you on this one. :P I'm still at the same weight this week. I'm eatting more but i'm still a tiered woman. I had a doctor's appointment this week, everything is good so far. Tom tagged along and we got to hear the baby's heart beat.

| Well i've put on a couple pounds. Yay. I'm starting to feel a little less fatigued. I'm also able to stay up passed 8pm. Other than that it's not a very eventful week. |
| |
| Hehe I'm wearing the same jammies. This week went really well. I'm eating well. I'm not fatigued at all. My belleh is rather itchy though. Getting ready for a busy couple of weeks. But a good kind of busy. :) |
| |
And i'm off!! Jebus I think i'm about to have 5 babies or the world's largest baby or even a mini van. I'm in Ottawa for Christmas so the pic was taken in the hotel room. I'm feeling really good. I've found my enjoyment for coffee again, although in moderation. I am having some lower back pain and pain in my abdomen. Nothing to write home about, all normal stuff. Next week I'll have pics of Christmas up and the ultrasound pics!!! |
| |
| Well i'm half way there. Time flies when you are having fun I guess. It's been a big week. Finally got to see our baby boy up close and personal. This week i've realized that i can't do as much as I would like. I get geared up to do a task like clean the house and need a nap half way in, tee hee. Baby to give me my life force back plz ty. Oh and yes there is just one baby. We do have a name but you all will have to wait a little longer. Happy Mew Years to all! |

| This has been an eventfull week. I took the picture with the camera timer hehe. Tom is at his first day of Basic Combat Training today so I am fending for myself. This week Brokk has started giving me little taps. At least I think it's him and not gas. I also had another OB appointment and it turns out that my one hour glucose tolerence test came back abnormal. That means that on Monday I have the pleasure of taking the 3 hour test. Hopefully it comes back fine and I don't have to deal with the Diabeetus. |
| |
| Picture is a bit crooked. Ops heheh. I did my 3 hour glucose test and I don't have the diabeetus. Yay! This week i'm feeling the extra weight. My back is hurting, tummy aching and changing positions while sleeping is tricky. Brokk has been kicking alot more. Usually when I lay down. Well a fun week ahead, I have a 4 day weekend comming up for the presidential inauguration. |
| |
| I feel pregnant waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! lol My back hurts but I must admit that the heating pad was a great investment. Other than that everything else is going great. Brokk is giving little flutter kicks. Doesnt really seem to be a pattern other than when I lay down. Not really much to report this week. I'm looking for ward to seeing my hubby and my Brokk. Go time go!! |
| |
| I still feel pregnant. lol. Brokk's been moving alot more. It feels like there is popcorn popping in my oven. I'm putting on weight at a good pace. You can tell from the pic that there seems to be alot of baby. A bit of heart burn but nothing big. Sleeping is proving to be more difficult. The contour pillow helps alot (Thanks Raithe!!). I'm not sleeping all night. I wake up after 12 and stay up for 1-2 hours. Well 7 weeks till I see Tom again and 16 weeks till Brokk. Although if my son is anything like me he will not be able to wait that long. lol I predict a mother's day baby. |
| |
| My poor back. It's giving up on me lol. I wish i had a giant traveling heating pad hehe. I have a little heart burn but it's not that bad. I can't remember where I put anything and i'm very emotional. I've been having one of those weeks. I want to crawl under my blanket and stay there till the end of the week. On a positive note I had a mad quest to get the discontinued stroller I wanted and I won. Take that Walmart! |
| |
| My back is hurting me like crazy. I went to get a massage and it didn't help at all. I'm starting to feel fatigued again. I have a doc appointment next week. Looking forward to that! Going to bed now! lol |
| |
| Well this week's update is a bit late. Wedesday was a long day of walking in DC and visiting museums. My back and front right side are really killing me. I had a doctor's appointment on Thursday and she gave me some muscle relaxants and ordered some tests to make sure my rib pain isnt gallblader related. Well those muscle relaxants are really nice. Yesterday was the best night sleep i've had since Tom left. Doesnt really look like my belly grew all that much this week. I'm now 20lbs over my normal weight. That's 30lbs if you count from the weight I lost in the first trimester. Brokk has been moving A LOT more. It went from flutters, to little punts and now it feels like he's a super ball in my stomach. He's also started to mess with my rib cage. He's also moving at all times and not only when I i'm relaxing. Things are starting to get fun! |
| |
| I'm feeling about the same as last week. My skin is very very dry everywhere, from my hands to inside my nose! I got another positive 1 hour glucose so Monday I go again for the 3 hours test. Fun times! 12 more weeks to go! Brokk is still moving around like the hyper child that I would have. I'm missing Tom a lot and really wish he was here with me. I know he's doing something good for us and I'm very proud of him! |
| |
| The feeling has really hit a plateau. My back is achy, I'm tiered and generally feeling pregnant lol. I passed my glucose test with flying colours yay!! I go on the 23rd for an ultrasound of my gallbladder to make sure this pain i have isnt stones. Sunday the 8th I have a full day of Childbirthing class. Make sure to check the Random Mewings for Nursery pictures and pics of the Quilt I made. |

Well other from the same old I'm feeling tiered again and nauseated. Oh and just when I thought I was getting away with no stretch marks and praising the cocoa butter stretch mark stuff there they are. Those sexy little red lines on my under belly. At least from this angle I can't see them, much like everything south of my belly button :( Brokk is moving around alot now. It's getting really hard to find a good position at night.
This week i'm going to drive 500 miles to see Tom's gradutaion. The doc said that it should be fine. I'm so excited!!!!

Yep, you are right I didn't post last week. I feel bad but I was on my way to see Tom. We has such a great time. He's now in Arizona and it's so much better. We get to talk everyday and he can read this now! Hi baby!!! On the belly front the marks are getting worse. My back is not enjoying the ride. I'm finding it really hard to make it through the workday without feeling very tiered and uncomfortable. We also decided that I was going to keep working after the baby. So this week I have been looking up daycare. I think I found the one, will confirm on Monday. I also have the baby shower tomorrow. YAY I can't wait. So i've been a busy busy busy momma these past 2 weeks.
My mom has also taken ill and has been in the hospital. She is in rehab right now and I wish her a speedy recovery. I hope you are ok to come see your grandson moman!!!! |
| |
Well nothing much to report. The baby shower was great! I'm pretty much ready for Brokk to show himself. I'm really feeling tiered. My legs are also getting tiered of carrying all this weight lol.
Tom wont be starting class untill May 17th. Hopefully Brokk can come early so that Tom can spend some time here. |

What a week! Saturday I went to the hospital because i was having some pain in my lower abdoment and in my lower back (kidney). When I got there they hooked me up and turns out I was having contractions. The pain went away and they released me after 4 hours. I believe that it was all just Mister Brokk dropping. I refuse to use the term lightened cause, although there is more room for my stomach and other inner things, it does not feel in any way shape or form lighter. I'm definitely feeling the late pregnancy blues. I want to meet my son!! Oh and let's not forget to mention those sexy stretch marks. I fought the stetch marks and the stretch marks won! |
| |
I'm getting worse adn worse at posting these lol. I had quite an exhausting week. I had a very hard time emotionally and physically getting through the week. I made it though!!! Had a doctor check up and everything seems to be well. I was moved to working only half days. I couldnt not be any happier. I don't think i can get any bigger than this. I don't know why women don't feel attractive at this stage of pregnancy. I mean, look at those sexy stretch marks and what screams sexy more than boobs resting on your belly that's resting on your lap? I'm hoping that Brokk will show himself early. I don't think I can nest anymore than I have either. I'm very much so looking forward to holding my little man. |
| |
Ok i'm ready now lol. Almost at the sweet spot of 37 weeks. Nothing really to report. Belly is heavy, Brokk's jazzersizing like it's going out of style and I'm tiered. I could have just said pregnant to sum it all up lol. Yep that's about it! |
| |
Yep still ready lol. This is the time where it's hard on the body and you just want to meet the little bugger that's judo chopping your ribs. I havent put any weight on in 2 weeks and it does seem like i the belly hasnt grown either. Hopefully Tom will be here next week and I'll have another OB appointment or a baby. |
| |
Again I missed a week. My husband comes to visit and I lose my mind!!! lol. Tom was here for almost week to visit. Sure enough Brokk did not want to show up in that time. Being late comes from his father. So 1 more week till show time (hopefully). I've had contractions on and off but nothing serious. I'm definatly ready to meet my little man. He's been hanging out in my right side all the time. My belly always looks lop sided and it makes sitting very uncomfortable. Thankfully the end is near. Mn'Oncle Erich will be visiting this weekend for a week. Doing well beside that. I miss Tom a lot. |
| |
| Here is the last one. I am schedueled to have an iduciton tomorrow. YAY. Unless there is a freak amount of women comming in tonight mister Brokk should be here tomorrow. I'm so excited. Erich will be here to help me come home. I've been contracting for 3 days now but nothing big. Now for my last evening of relaxing for a long long time hehe. |
