Pregnancy Highlights

How far along? 25 weeks 3 days

Size of Baby? About 14 inches long and just under 2 pounds. The size of a rutabaga. I hope he's cuter than that Rutabaga!

Gender? A boy Hayes ? Olson

Movement? He has set sleep and awake patterns. I feel him moving about every 3 hours.

Sleep? Still just great. They only time I lose sleep is if Chris is snoring or the dogs are barking!

Symptoms? I'm still getting upset stomachs and the doctor said that is perfectly normal because all your insides are moving out of the way to make room for baby. I have also been a little nauseous this week and have thrown up a couple of times, not sure what that is all about.

Cravings? Still no cravings, thank goodness I'm not wanting sweets! I have my glucose test in a couple of weeks and I just hope I pass.

Best Moment of the Week? Getting to see another ultrasound of Hayes. He cooperated much better this time. Mom and I got to see lots of cute movements. He looks like he is going to have my short upper lip and Chris's shoulders and barrel chest. I also found out that he is positioned head down and his head is all the way down at my cervix which would explain all the pressure. Also when I got weighed at the doctor I am down a total of 7 pounds! Woohoo go me!

I promise I will take a picture and post it soon!

Pregnancy Highlights

How far along? 23 weeks 4 days

Size of Baby? About 11 1/2" long and 1 1/4 pounds. The size of an eggplant.

Gender? A boy. Hayes Olson

Movement? He is definitely in there squirming around! My mom actually got to feel him moving last night.

Sleep? No problems, most nights I don't even get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.

Symptoms? I have had an upset stomach this week. I'm not sure if it is caused by all the movement or maybe Braxton Hicks? Or maybe a stomach bug?

Cravings? No cravings. Most of the time food doesn't sound very good.

Best Moment of the Week? I love that not only I can feel him moving around in there, but other people can from the outside too!

Wee Bit of me Wednesday

I thought it would be fun today to join in with Leigh Ashley and do a wee bit of me wednesday

{one} what was one thing that you valued when you were a kid?I don't think I valued too much as a kid. That wasn't something I really thought about I would say I more took for granted than valued. But looking back I value all the family get togethers we used to have, and my grandparents. They used to have property at Birch Bay and the whole family would go there every weekend.


{two} what was your favorite (+ lease favorite) subject in school?I loved US history, and I strongly disliked English

{three} do you remember your first love?Unfortunately yes

{four} what one pet would you love to have?A teacup Morkie, one so tiny it would fit in the palm of my hand

{five} would you rather live in the country or in the city?For sure the country. If I didn't have a job and hardly ever had to leave the house I would love to be a hermit up in the hills

{six} what do you love about blogging?Right now having a journal to keep track of being pregnant

{seven} what is the first website you visit everyday?Yahoo and read my email.

{eight} will you or have you joined google+?I don't know what it is.

{nine} what is your favorite scent of candle/air freshener?My brother got me a Slatkin candle in pine or something and it smells so good! My husband loves it too, imagine that, since he is an arborist

{ten} how would you describe your style?I think my style is country, redneck, contemporary and definitely comfy!

Pregnancy Highlights and a picture!

How far along? 22 weeks 4 days

Size of Baby? 11 inches the length of a spaghetti squash? Don't think I've ever had one, or if I have, I definitely didn't buy it. haha. He weighs about 1 pound (what a bruiser)

Gender? A boy. Hayes Olson

Movement? Hayes has a schedule I can feel him moving around a lot every 2-3 hours. I have tried counting the movements and I definitely get 10 in a short amount of time.

Sleep? I still sleep great. My belly isn't very big, so it doesn't stop me from getting a good night's sleep.

Symptoms? I feel good this week, no pains or anything.

Cravings? Still not having any cravings. Igor is still bringing me raspberries and Ian brings me some veggies. Thank goodness for those guys, because I haven't been to the grocery store in well over a month.

Best Moment of the Week? Feeling Hayes move all the time, I really know he is in there!

And without further adieu a picture of the baby bump. This picture was taken Sunday 7/31/2011

Pregnancy Highlights

How far along? 21 weeks 5 days

Size of Baby? 10 1/2" long the length of a carrot. It says 12 ounces but that was the weight when I was at the Dr a week ago, so I'm guessing up another ounce or two?

Gender? A BOY!!!! Hayes Olson

Movement? It's so funny, since I had my ultrasound and found out how he is positioned, I feel him moving around all the time. I'm not sure if it is just that I know it is him now, of if he is just getting stronger and I can feel him.

Sleep? I have been sleeping great but I have been having the craziest dreams. Chris says I thrash around all night.

Symptoms? My lower back has been hurting, but that is probably caused by all the thrashing around I am doing in my sleep.

Cravings? Nothing really. Igor at work has been bringing "for baby" raspberries from his garden everyday. One day he didn't bring them, and I was going through with drawls. haha. Hayes is going to come out a raspberry or at least with a raspberry birth mark. (I had one when I was born)

Best Moment of the Week? Finding out that we are having a baby boy! Chris is so excited now, he calls me a couple times a day just to ask how his son is doing. I am also loving feeling him move around, I don't understand how I hardly felt anything last week.

Pregnancy Highlights

How far along? 20 weeks 3 days. Oh my gosh I'm halfway there!

Size of baby? 10 inches head to heel. 10 1/2 ounces.

Gender? We find out the day after tomorrow!

Movement? I am pretty sure I have felt what feels like bubbles popping, I have heard that is probably baby.

Sleep? Every once in awhile it is hard to get comfortable, but once I'm asleep I'm out!

Symptoms? I still have a stuffy nose most of the time.

Cravings? Food usually still doesn't sound the best. I'm just generally not very hungry, unless I'm at work and there's nothing to eat. haha

Best Moment of the Week? Well it hasn't happened yet, but I'm sure it will be when we have our ultrasound on Thursday and then I think mom and I are going down to Babies R Us this weekend!
