Prince Cal Gregory Suarez 3D

Prince Cal Gregory Suarez 

 3D

There are very few words to describe how stubborn our son was for his picture day. He did everything possible to cover his face. He buried it in the placenta and covered it with hands, feet & cord. He yawned at least 4 times and was very unimpressed with our efforts. BUT, here he is! Most pictures his eyes and forehead are covered by placenta...

 He looks EXACTLY like Eric & Eric's Dad! He has Eric's lips, chin & ears. And Eric's Dad's nose. His hands & feet are huge! And thank God he has HAIR!!!

 Yep! That's his hand & foot covering his face! You can see his nose behind his toes.
His Face <3 His hand is resting against his cheek & chin. Look at those LIPS!!!

 His face, eating his hand. Nose, lips & chin.
His EAR!!! They're identical to Eric's!!!
VERY dramatic like his father! His hands are huge! And that nose is NOT Eric's or mine! LOL

He's SMILING!!! His hand is still under his chin. 
Perfect lips!!! Hand under chin & lots of placenta blocking...

Lips, nose, and that hand!!!

Balls & wiener! He's still a boy! There is cord wrapped around too, but you get the idea! :)

2D view of his back, his left arm coming up to his head, and flexing his bicep!!! Tiny shoulder, tiny cute bicep!

Little fuzzy hair growing off the back of his head!!! The white circle is his skull.
Baby Me

Baby me again!
 Baby Eric
Baby Eric & his Dad Julian

Eric's Dad Julian

 We could not be more excited to meet this little man we made!!!
So loved already!

28 Weeks & Our Crib!

Thursday, June 26, 2014



How far along: 28 weeks  O_O
Gender: Mr. Cal Gregory Suarez
Weight gain: 18 lbs gained. At 135. Started 117lbs. (F!)
Maternity clothes: Still hanging on to a few normal clothes that fit but wearing maternity too. Sad I have less & less options daily.
Stretch marks: None! I do have ugly brown discoloration around my belly button :'(
Belly button in or out: In :) 
Sleep: Sleep is good not perfect but good! Sooooo tired all the time!
Best moment this week: Having another perfect appointment & ultrasound for our 28 week check up on our 8 year wedding anniversary!!! Cal weighs almost 3 POUNDS already! Blessed. 
Movement: Crazy movements like always :) Love it.  
Cravings: I had a random Chipotle craving for 3 days straight for the first time in 7 MONTHS!!! But, sadly I'm over it now. 
Queasy or sick: I get weird waves of nausea in the morning but not too bad.
Symptoms: ACID REFULX! I have always had it since I can remember, but now its 24/7 with no relief. Tums do nothing... I was also told by my Dr to start taking iron supplements twice a day :'( Sucks!
Looking forward to: Our 3D ultrasound tomorrow! Eric & I are convinced that Cal looks exactly like Eric from all the glimpses we get of his face at our Drs. ultrasound. 
FEARS: Probably still terrified of his size, he's huge. And my newest fear would be that I am going to really miss being pregnant. Sounds crazy, but I feel scared to let him go from my belly. 
Before aaand after...
And again...
Looking down at my belly. Proof that Cal LOVES my right lower belly!
 Loving his baby brother <3
 Besties!
Jealous that mommy is spending time on Cal & not them :)
SO excited for this diaper cart!!! It will be perfect for his room during the day &  by our bed at night! OBSESSED!
 Building his sons crib! Eeek!
 Dogs still very insecure about being replaced!
Almost done!!! :)
PROUD DADDY!!! 
My best friend. So blessed.

27 Weeks. Finally Caught Up!

Sunday, June 15, 2014




How far along: 27 weeks!  O_O 
Gender: Prince Cal
Weight gain: 17 lbs gained. At 134lbs. Started 117lbs. And I repeat from last week. 
I am easily going to surpass the recommended 20-25 lb total weight gain. I would like to 
thank pelvic rest & placenta previa because my diet is not to blame!
Maternity clothes: Still 50/50. Officially feeling insecure about my new body. Fun! 
Stretch marks: None. Using my oil daily now :)
Belly button in or out: Still in. Still a huge gapping hole. 
Sleep: I love sleep. Luckily I still sleep well. Thank God. 
Best moment this week: Well the weeks not over yet...  :)
Miss anything: Eating like crap & not gaining weight. That would be fabulous. 
Movement: Love feeling his heels, and body parts trying to burst out of my belly!
Cravings: Cupcakes. I could eat a cupcake a day forever. 
Queasy or sick: Still having scary dizzy spells & strange waves of nausea :( 
Symptoms: Same as last week also. More cellulite than I ever thought humanly possible. Spider veins spreading like wild fire. Painful ribs & painful tailbone. 
Looking forward to: Getting Baby Cal's nursery together. His diaper cart arrived & I can't wait to put it together. Oh yea, and my BABY SHOWER!
FEARS: I am unusually nervous about delivering this little babe. I pretty much freak out just thinking about it. I also really dislike not knowing when he is going to be here. My Dr has always said I won't make it past 37 weeks but for different reasons. I would sure like to know :)

26 weeks


How far along: 26 weeks :) 
Gender: Little man Cal
Weight gain: 15 lbs gained. At 132lbs. Started 117lbs. Yes, 15 lbs up. I'd like to say now
that I am easily going to surpass the recommended 20-25 lb total weight gain.
I would like to thank the pelvic rest from placenta previa because my diet has not been that bad at all!
Maternity clothes: Still 50/50. I wear a uniform most days & on my off days I try to find the biggest clothes I have in my closet & dresser. 
Stretch marks: Nope. They are on there way! Using my oils about 5 days a week.  
Belly button in or out: Oh my poor belly button... It's disgusting! It's HUGE! And starting to get that pregnancy brown discoloration. YUCK!
Sleep: Sleep is my favorite thing in the world. I could sleep forever. And ever. 
Best moment this week: Registering! Registering at Buy Buy Baby & Babies R Us was so fun! Can't wait to test everything out with little man. 
Miss anything: MY BODY! My brain. My ability to do anything 100%...
Movement: He's crazy! He is always all over the place. His favorite is my right lower belly.
Cravings: Been watching my diet way closer but I still crave my iced coffee every morning.
Queasy or sick: New onset of queasy dizzy spells started this week :( 
Symptoms: Good ones this week! Spider veins everywhere, cellulite everywhere, irritated skin everywhere. And of course the horrific rib pain is still haunting my every waking moment.  
Looking forward to: Our 3D ultrasound! Which I need to reschedule tomorrow... I just want to see his chubby little face!!! 
FEARS: Weight gain :'(  It's really hard seeing your body in such a different way. And there is so much time left... I also have no idea how I am going to survive the pain of getting bigger!

Passed my 1 hour glucose test!!! Went with non-fasting. Yay me! :)

 He really loves my belly... His favorite place to be!

And again... <3 

And this proud soon to be dad got his daddy diaper bag in the mail! He LOVES it! 
So freaking cute... Love him.

25 Weeks Flashback

Friday, June 13, 2014




DISCLAIMER: So this is all old news :(  I wrote it at 25 weeks & forgot to post it. I have no brain, no time, no life. I know it sucks, I miss me too... 
I am currently 27 weeks. Updated blog in the making.

How far along: 25 weeks :) 
Gender: Baby Boy Cal
Weight gain: 13 lbs gained. At 130lbs. Started 117lbs.
Maternity clothes: Some... I wear mostly regular clothes in bigger sizes, but some maternity stuff too! Placed an order on Pink Blush Maternity but wasn't super in love with what showed up in the mail :(  
Stretch marks: Nope. 2 days strong of using oil. Yay me... 
Belly button in or out: Belly button is on its way out :'( Wahhh! Took my belly button ring out too. 
Sleep: Sleep is AMAzing! I am sooooo tired!!! ALL THE TIME!
Best moment this week: Washing, hanging & folding all of Cal's little baby clothes! So freaking cute! My heart was going to burst! Eric loved it too. 
Miss anything: My personality! Lol My energy, my drive to do things, my normal paychecks, the ambulance... Having good ol' fun with my husband! 
Movement: Tons of movement. Love my little wiggle worm.  
Cravings: Still can't get enough iced coffee. So yummy! Aaaand sweets... :(
Queasy or sick: So tired I can't even remember... I guess that's good.
Symptoms: This week has been horrific rib pain. The most uncomfortable pain on my left side and nothing I do will give any relief to the pain or pressure!!! I'm talking 12-14 hours of pure pain. Can't believe it only gets worse from here on out.
Looking forward to: Sleep. All day every day whenever I can. 
FEARS: Probably our doctor telling me that Cal is still measuring a week bigger & his head is measuring two weeks bigger so I probably wont be able to deliver past 37 weeks...Ouch :( On the flip side, he said my previa had moved up & I am in the clear for now!!! Yay


May 27th, 2014 Dr.s at 25 weeks.

 Little man. His face is in the middle of the picture with both arms & hands on the side of his face. May 27th, 2014 Dr.s at 25 weeks.

Our new glider!!! It's amazing!!! 

Proud soon to be daddy trying out his new home for the few months! 

The start of my little stud's wardrobe! Thank you to all my friends & family for spoiling him already!

This is my job. KILL ME. NO WIFI!!!!!

Actions speak louder than words, but I promise I will try to get better at posting up to date  posts! I think I am ALMOST adjusted to my new lifestyle...xoxo
