23 Weeks Flashback

Monday, May 26, 2014



How far along: 23 weeks :) 
Gender: Baby Boy Cal
Weight gain: 13 lbs gained. At 130lbs. Holy F... Starting was 117lbs.
Maternity clothes: It was my last week in normal clothes... I never thought I would grow out of my clothes so soon! But I have :'(
Stretch marks: Nope. But I deserve them. I never lotion my belly! I'm dumb.
Belly button in or out: Innie, please stay forever. 
Sleep: Love sleep! It's still amazing. Just leg cramps & sore hips.
Best moment this week: Eric's EMS award & birthday were by far my favorite! His happiness means more to me than anything! AND we ordered the nursery furniture thanks to my amazing mother in law! We would be lost without her!
Miss anything: TIME! :'( My new day shift is destroying my life! I HATE working 7am to 7pm in an office. No time for anything before or after work. 
Movement: Yes :) Moving all day long. I love it.  
Cravings: Sweets :( and all other food 24/7
Queasy or sick: Exhaustion. Beyond tired & weak! Literally felt like I was slowly dying... Contacted my doctor to figure out whats wrong, sounds like anemia. 
Symptoms: Pregnancy brain is in full force! I feel like I have lost every women super power that I ever had. It's scary. Still a very full belly. Emotional & irritable which I hate! Definitely feel like I've turned into an emotional prego. YUCK!
Looking forward to: Our over night trip to Monterey for the Cali Roots Reggae Festival! And seeing my baby boy at our next appointment on May 27th. It's been way too long! 
FEARS: Turning 130lbs was not my favorite... I know I'm growing a person but I also hate getting big in the mean time :( Also, stressed about our nursery furniture showing up on time! :( It's on back order for 10-12 weeks. SO bummed!  



Our AMAZING crib & dresser we ordered! Love that it looks different colors in every light! 



Could not get over that belly while getting ready at work...



The last few moments in my uniforms that no longer fit. And a perfect example of my baby brain. I left the table in the hallway to get a key to the classroom. Found the table still sitting in the hallway an hour later! :( I forgot...





























Eric received an award this week during EMS week & I couldn't be more proud! 



Last but not least was a fire house birthday for Eric. Can't believe he's 27! Time is flying by & we are loving every second. So thankful for him!

BabyMoon Weeks 21 & 22

WEEKS 21 & 22

 My daily belly in Hawaii! Watch that baby grow! 

 But before you do... I want to apologize for the delay in blog posts. Not only was vacation crazy busy, but I started day shift at work (7am-7pm), AND Eric got the dreaded call to the San Diego Fires on a strike team. Thank god he's back in Roseville, but still at work. :( It's been a week & wednesday can't get here fast enough!









How far along: 21 & 22 weeks :) 
Gender: Baby Boy Cal
Weight gain: 9 lbs gained. At 126lbs.
Maternity clothes: Nope! Thank you for all the support with this though. I promise I'll buy some eventually when they fit better & aren't so expensive. For now I went to target & bought size 7, SEVEN, shorts! o_O  At least they were only $15.00. 
Stretch marks: Nope. Trying really hard to use lotions & oils daily even though I hate it!
Belly button in or out: Innie, please stay forever. 
Sleep: Sleep is still great but I wake up SO sore throughout the night. Hips, legs, calf cramps. SOOO painful!  
Best moment this week: Hawaii was unbelieveable!!! Spending time with Eric & our friends was beyond priceless. I couldn't love them more. 
Miss anything: Not drinking & surfing with everyone in Hawaii SUCKED!
Movement: So much movement! I can feel his little body in my belly now. He moved across my hand for the first time & I almost died! Crazy feeling! Brian & Ashley finally got to feel him kick & we all watched him kick from the outside too! 
Cravings: Coffee!!! There's not enough in the world.
Queasy or sick: No sickness that I can think of thankfully! 
Symptoms: Full belly! It feels uncomfortably full daily. Like I are thanksgiving dinner for every meal...Not the best! I also have horrific lower left rib pain after I eat. Clearly there is no room left in my abdomen already. Awesome! I also have some of those "the things no one tells you" symptoms that I promise I'll tell all in my "Good, bad & ugly" post I am working on. 
Looking forward to: Ordering nursery furniture & working on his nursery! 
FEARS: <- New category since being pregnant is freaking scary! So this week I have been scared & guilty for being so active in Hawaii & trying to eat right. So many rules with fish & exercise, I worried that I was keeping my little man safe. We all had heart attacks the second day waiting for him to move. Took until midnight to finally feel him & feel relieved! 
Eric & I were blessed with the most amazing vacation ever imagined! We went with our best friend/brother Brian & his girlfriend Ashley. We stayed in Kaanapali, Hawaii at the Aston Whaler Hotel on Black Rock Beach. We were also reunited with Eric's Uncle Andre and Aunt Laurie! They live on Maui & it was incredible to catch up after almost 10 years apart!

Heaven on earth! <3














































Couldn't be any more beautiful... 
We spent every day in the ocean, surfing, body boarding, snorkeling, eating amazing food, staying up late, and waking up early. A luau, an engraved axe for Cal's nursery, a jet boat trip with dolphins & a whale, & an early dinner for Eric's birthday. Our only regret was not staying longer...
