27 Weeks Bump Update

Pregnancy

6 Mar

Okay, I know. I have been really horrible at these bump updates after I said I would do them weekly. We’ve just had so much going on! I’ve been keeping y’all updated on Instagram stories and with my posts on there. We’ve almost completed the nursery, I’ve been shopping at thrift stores for baby clothes, and we’ve just been trying to declutter and organize the house best we can before Layla comes. Let’s dive into this thing shall we?

Maternity Gown from Pink Blush

What fruit are you? A bunch of bananas! Layla is about 15 inches and weighs over two pounds.

Due Date: May 30, 2018. 85 days from today. Wow! Where does the time go?

Total Weight Gain: I think I’m at about 13 pounds of weight gained so far. I would say that’s pretty good!

Stretch Marks? Yep! More and more as the days go by. I am calling them my “mama scars!” I’ve been using different oils and belly butter, but I’ve heard stretch marks are hereditary. My mom had them with my sister and I, so I figured I would get them anyway.

Maternity Clothes: I am rocking leggings for the most part. I have a pair of stretchy jeans that I’ll wear to go out sometimes. I haven’t had to buy many clothes though. I’m thinking over the next two months is when my clothes will really start to not fit!

Sleep: What’s that? Haha no I am getting a pretty good night’s sleep. Getting up about 3-4 times to go pee. It takes me awhile to get comfortable and fall asleep.

Cravings: Not anything specific really. It’s just when something comes to mind that I want, I want it and I want it NOW! Yesterday it was rainbow sherbet ice cream. Today, I couldn’t wait to have boneless buffalo wings for lunch.

Best moment this week: Yesterday my little sister came over and saw Layla moving around for the first time. It was such a special moment since she is her God Mother. We’ve been seeing her move around a lot more.

Symptoms: Still throwing up every couple of days. It’s down to maybe twice a week thank God. I also have heartburn REALLY bad. I have to take medicine every day now for it.

Movement: Like I said above, we’ve been seeing her move around a lot which is really cool. I swear sometimes I have a little karate kid in there, she will move around so much and it feels like she’s dancing or something.

Maternity Maxi Dress from Pink Blush

Nursery Update: It’s almost done!!! We just have a gallery wall to put up and then it’ll be complete. I’ll share a sneak peek of it below for you guys. I absolutely love how everything is coming along. It’s amazing to just sit in there and wonder what our times will be like once she’s actually here.

Pregnancy item I’m loving this week: These amazing leggings that are only $13! They are super comfortable and great for everyone, even if you’re not pregnant. I bought two pairs. Also, this pregnancy journal has been amazing to write in every month. I write down how I’m feeling, what we’re looking forward to, and it has some cute note sections to write it. My husband also does a little section every month as well. It’s been nice to document the pregnancy in this little book.

our time together as a family is a gift. and i wil our time together as a family is a gift. and i will never forget 6 years ago pleading to god to make us parents. he delivered 🙏🏼 and gave us four of the most beautiful children i could have ever imagined. 📸 @sadiecooperphotography
August 1st at 9:56am our Jaxson Jeremy was born at August 1st at 9:56am our Jaxson Jeremy was born at home, weighing in at 11 pounds!! 😍😅 ELEVENNNN pounds. Lol. We are all doing so well now, resting and settling into being a family of 6. 🫶🏻 I’m not quite ready to share our birth story just yet as we had some complications, but when the time is right I’ll record a YouTube video and share all the details. Until then, we’re soaking up all the newborn snuggles with our littlest love. Forever blessed for my growing family and the ability to birth these beautiful humans.
Yet again another child to be born after my “due Yet again another child to be born after my “due date” 🤪 Trusting in God’s timing is not always easy, but I’m trying. 💙 Dalton was my longest pregnancy at 43 weeks; this little guy better not make us wait another 2 weeks though! 😅 Layla was 40+5 (induced) and Gabby was 39 weeks (csection) 

Ready for another beautiful home birth, whenever Jaxson is ready. 🫶🏻 At what gestation were your babes born?!
38 weeks with my little Jaxson Jeremy 💙 it’s 38 weeks with my little Jaxson Jeremy 💙 it’s crazy as I have more kiddos how fast the pregnancies go. I feel like I blinked and we’re almost here. Now to getting my ducks in a row! I’ve been nesting like crazy, deep cleaning my house, tending to the garden and just have to get my freezer meals prepped and I’ll be ready *i think* 😅 It’s funny because Dalton didn’t come until I was 43 weeks which is literally 5 more weeks from now…. I just might melt from the summer’s heat if I have to wait another 5 weeks 🤣 But for real, babies come when they are ready. No crazy natural inductions happening over here. Just patience. However, we’re ready whenever you are, my little man 🫶🏻
Garlic has quickly become one of my favorite thing Garlic has quickly become one of my favorite things to grow! Set it and forget it! I planted my garlic in October & it will be ready to harvest in July. Using the scapes in recipes is a great way to add garlic flavor and utilize the garlic before it’s ready to harvest. I planted both hard neck and soft neck, so I will save the hard neck varieties over the Fall/Winter and use the soft neck fresh. Have you ever planted garlic before?!
