This was my last monthly appointment, now I get to start going every two weeks! Hear rate was 140 and I'm measuring right on track. Head is SUPER low. Feeling bad pain on the right side of my lower back. I think maybe something is getting pinched. My pelvis hurts and my back hurts. Good times. This week I also had a surprise baby shower and got some wonderful clothes for Hunter! He's going to be dressed very well! We finally bought him some bedroom furniture as well, a crib and a dresser. Things are starting to come together!
We have three beautiful children and are loving every minute of our crazy life. And I'm telling you, things get c.r.a.z.y around here. :)

This week I have had trouble sleeping because my stomach feels like a 100 pound rock and it hurts to move or roll over. I can't find a comfortable position where my stomach and abs feel relaxed. Lots of strong movement. I continue to have strong and simi painful BH contractions.

Weight:192
Symptoms: Stronger and more painful BH contractions. Baby 'dropped' down low into my pelvis and I can feel his head right inside my vagina. Trying to get a hold on the food that I'm eating so that I don't continue to gain too much.

This week I've started feeling uncomfortable movements from the baby. I have a tender spot on the inside of my stomach that hurts when he rubs against it. I am craving sugar. I'm kind of worried about my weight gain at this point.

{Week 25}
Weight: 183
Symptoms: This week my boobs grew three times there size! I was wondering when that would happen! I laid out in the sun for a while yesterday and got burned. I'm hoping I can get a little tan going for this weekend when Brian comes home. I always tan best when I'm pregnant. Hunter has been very active this week. He's moving all over the place, although his movements feel softer than the girls. No major body parts shoving up against my skin yet.

Holy weight gain. This better just be a big baby and not just my thighs getting bigger! Feeling tired, feeling bigger, feeling lots of movement down low. Brian is gone this week and next week so I'm pooped. I need a break.

{Week 23}
Weight: 181
This week I had a check up. Everything looks good! The dr. said everything looked good from the ultrasound last week and my levels came back great from my blood tests that I finally got done. They weighed me in at 174 which is crazy. They checked it twice but I know it's wrong. They better be ready for a 10 pound weight gain next month, lol.
This week I have started to feel little twinges and pains down there. It's starting earlier than last time. My boobs are getting bigger/heavier and my belly button is pretty much flat. He is still moving down LOW. I don't ever feel him up high. I can actually feel him moving around in my butt and it makes me feel like I have to poop. I didn't feel that until I was about 30-34 weeks with Molly. I wonder if he's head up still?

{Week 21}
How did I skip week 21? OMG time is flying fast. I can't even remember what happened last week. I didn't even realize it had come and gone! Oh no wait... I was going to give an ultrasound update!
We had our 20 week ultrasound and everything looked great! The baby is still a boy! Hunter measured exactly on target at 20 weeks 1 day. His heart rate was 143 and he was head down. He moved around a lot and everything the ultrasound tech mentioned looked great. I should get a full report at my next appointment but I am assuming everything was fine.

Weight: I'm scared to check.
This week was much like last week. Some times I feel like my stomach went back in a little bit but other times like in the evenings I feel like it's getting bigger. Still feeling good. I need to get maternity pants though... I can almost not wear my jeans anymore (unzipped). Hunter is moving a lot and it's fun to experience it again.

This week the movement has picked up! I feel him every day. His movements are very low, so I think he's feet down right now. Nothing at the top of my uterus yet! I am feeling good, although I'm not sure what's up with my 5-6 pound weight gain in one week. Oh well. I'm eating pretty well and I feel good.
Oh ya, we have a name! Hunter William! We got a super cute Angels shirt that just happens to have his name on the back (it's the players name). It's adorable.

This week I 'think' I felt some super light movement but nothing I can really be sure of. We have really been excited that this is a little boy, but part of us is scared that it was to early to determine and we will be told it's a girl at 20 weeks. We want this to be a little boy so badly. I've started to buy a few things here and there... SO fun looking on the boy side of the store for once! Overall I'm feeling great this week, although I still get nauseous if I don't eat or if I get really tired.

IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!! We are so excited! We had an awesome 4D ultrasound this week and he showed us his parts loud and clear. DH asked the ultrasound lady how sure she was and she said she was 100% sure. We got a great and clear angle. He was moving around and kicking his legs. Heart rate was 154 and she said that was great. He was so cute!!! Brian is SO excited... we are all so excited. What a blessing.
Other than the exciting news, not much has happened except I have gotten a little bit bigger. Am going to need real maternity pants soon. Still no movement.

I am looking forward to our 4D ultrasound this weekend that will reveal if this little one is a boy or a third girl! We are so excited! Had a regular check up this week and baby had a strong heartbeat of 157 and everything look right on target. So exciting!

Tired, still nauseous at times. Last night while I was sleeping I either dreamed that I felt the baby make some poking movements, or it really was the baby. I can't tell if it was real or not because I was asleep, lol. Stomach is starting to go out a little bit, although there is not much visible difference from week 8! I started out so big! Still wearing my jeans with the rubberband, although I am now having to unzip them half way as well. Looking forward to my OB appointment next week!

This week was much better. I felt pretty normal much of the time, although I had one day yesterday where I threw up a whole lot. Maybe I had a touch of the stomach flu that's been going around because I felt SICK! Exhaustion has seemed to pick up at times this week, making it feel almost impossible to move let alone do anything productive. I am just so glad to not be so sick anymore that I don't mind feeling so tired. I bought a couple of maternity tops from the BX and they fit nicely. I can always use the extra length. I'm starting to 'show' a little bit. People commented on my little bump last night when I was wearing a tighter top.

{Week 10}
Weight: 168
This week I started to see the light at the end of the tunnel as the nausea started to lighten up some days. There were many moments where I didn't even feel nauseous at all! Yay! I've been tired, but for the most part it hasn't been unbearable. I have still thrown up, but it's better.
I am really starting to get a bump this week. I can't zip my pants up all the way.... may need to start using the belly band! The big news this week is that I had an ultrasound at 9 weeks 6 days. They just did the ultrasound instead of an exam so my Mom and the girls got to watch! The baby was moving around a little bit and we got some great pictures of it's face! The heartbeat was 150 and I measured right on track. Officially due August 3rd, 2011 just like I thought! I am really getting eager to find out if this is a boy or a girl. At this point I just can't make a guess. I keep thinking about this baby like it's a little boy. But I also do not picture myself with a little boy. I picture myself with all girls. I'm confused! Samantha has been calling it a boy, so maybe she knows something we don't!

This week we went to London! Probably not the best week since my nausea peaked. I have never felt so uncomfortably sick in my entire life. It was constant. All day and all night. My hunger peaked as well. I literally had to eat every 45 minutes 24 hours a day or I would get so sick I would throw up. I woke up every hour at night STARVING. Like, throw up starving. I ate a lot of granola bars and fruit. At the very end of the week the nausea started to let up and I had a few minutes of relief one day. That was nice.

{Week 8}
Weight: 165
Symptoms: Nausea seems to have let up from last week. I have gone about three days without throwing up, although I still feel queezy and gaggy and unpleasant much of the time. I have been taking a nap during the day if I can. Exhaustion is not unbearable. My food cravings change from day to day. In fact, they change moment to moment. I was in Subway and thought a philly cheese steak sandwich sounded good and it's all I wanted. By the time he had toasted it, the thought of eating it make me feel sick. So I ordered a second sandwich... a veggie delight and managed to eat that in the car. I couldn't touch the first one!

{Week 3}
Weight: unknown (my scale is broken)
Symptoms at 12DPO: light/moderate cramping, lower back ache, nipple tenderness, face is breaking out, general lower body aches, two positive hpts, took a uncommon nap
Wow! What a week! I found out that we are expecting out third child! I am so excited we have been trying for 6 months and I was so ready. With Samantha and Molly, I got a faint positive at about 7-8 DPO so when I was still getting negatives at 11DPO this time I counted myself out for another month. I tested again this morning at about 12DPO simply because I was curious. I was cramping the past several days and thought it was AF coming so when I felt normal again so I thought something was up. I got a faint positive on a dollar store test, but it was not my FMU. I set the test down after I took it and came back at 5 minutes and saw the light line right away. Then I used that same pee to test on a digital and saw that beautiful word, PREGNANT. Instead of telling DH in a fun way, I ran out of the bathroom and threw the test in his face! He smiled and was happy. A while later I called my mom and dad and they were so excited. I also told Samantha and she completely understood. She was so happy, I felt like I was sharing my news with a good friend. It's going to be fun going though this pregnancy now that she's really old enough to understand and participate.
The next day I took a blood test to confirm it with my primary care manager here on base and it was positive. I have a meeting set up in a week and a half to get me my off base OB information.
I feel more complete now that I know our third child is inside of me. It makes me feel full and happy. I hope and pray that everything goes well over the next several months and I look forward to all of the changes and crazyness that are about to begin!
