32 weeks- Baby has a name!!!!




HOW FAR ALONG?:  32 weeks 1 day!

TOTAL WEIGHT GAIN?: 23 lbs...

STRETCH MARKS?: NO!! And I must admit, I am the worst when ti comes to using any kid of cremes or oils, Goooo genetics!!!!

SLEEP?: I have my good days, and my BAD days. But Ive been getting a solid 4 hours or so of sleep every night, which I can work with.

MATERNITY CLOTHES?: I refuse to buy anymore clothes, so i will have to make do with what I have so far!

BEST MOMENT THIS WEEK?: Last Thursday was our "Mayer Christmas" and we had a blast playing a game my sister in law showed us, which involved TONS of wrapping paper and tape! Sunday was Christmas was MY family, which was fun like always, tons of food, games, and a whole lot of people talking at the same time, LOL. Christmas day was very low key...Harley was with her grandparents in Miami ,so Rony and I just spent the day being lazy, caught a movie in the afternoon, and went to dinner and hung out with some friends at night. Simple, but nice. AND WE FINALLY PICKED A NAME!!!!!! After many months of searching online, reading books, and hearing suggestion after suggestion from friends and family, Rony and I finally agreed on a name. We had decided on "Brielle" as the middle name a while back, but we were stuck on a first name. Nothing seemed right. We wanted a name that was easy to pronounce in spanish and english. but I didn't want a name that was very common, or that anyone else I knew had. About a week back, Rony was looking for names online, and came across Lexie..and we both really liked it!! It wasnt too weird or out of the ordinary, but at the same time, we didnt know anyone with the name. It was perfect. Rony didnt like the way the last "E" looked with the middle name, so we dropped the E, and decided her name will be Lexi Brielle!!

WORST MOMENT THIS WEEK?: No complaints!

MISS ANYTHING?:  Coffee. I don't think this answer is ever going to change. I also miss being able to breath, and being able to fit into my clothes.

MOVEMENT? Always. Although her movements are less kicking, and more whole belly shifts from side to side.

FOOD CRAVINGS?: ICE!!!! I cant even explain this obsession.

ANYTHING MAKING ME QUEASY / SICK?: NOPE, Thank goodness!

SHOWING YET?: oh yes.

LABOR SIGNS?: Lots of braxton hicks, but that about it.

MOOD?: Anxious, and just plain ready to be done with this...but at the same time i feel like we're not ready, so im very conflicted.

COMPLAINTS?: GET THIS CHILD OUT OF ME! Ok, maybe not yet, but seriously...I would like my lungs back please.

BELLY BUTTON IN or OUT?: OUTTTTT!!!!!

WEDDING RINGS OFF or ON?: ON!

LOOKING FORWARD TO...?: The New Year, lots of exciting changes!

28 weeks



HOW FAR ALONG?:  28 weeks 6 days! Officially in the third trimester.. hallelujah!

TOTAL WEIGHT GAIN?: Went to the Dr today..Ive gained 20lbs (!!!!!) total so far. Dr was a little concerned that I havent gained any weight from my last appt to this one, since apparently she expected me to gain ATLEAST 2 lbs over the Thanksgiving holiday. Umm nope, didnt happen. I did however assure her that I ate more than i could possibly stomach, and promised i'd gain atleast another pound by my next appt. We'll see.

STRETCH MARKS?: NOPE! Although I had a nightmare the other night that I had gotten a huge one right down my belly, and I woke up freaking out. lol oh the joy!

SLEEP?: Despite being terribly sick with a cold this past week, I can actually say Ive been sleeping pretty decently lately! I REALLY hope it continues this way!

MATERNITY CLOTHES?: Nothing new. Still trying to get away with the clothes I already have!

BEST MOMENT THIS WEEK?: I had an ultrasound last Wed, and my mom was able to come with me! She was able to see the baby moving ALL OVER THE PLACE. And at one point, she yawned, which was the cutest thing in the world! I cant wait to do the 3D ultrasound to see what she's gonna look like! .

WORST MOMENT THIS WEEK?: I have been battling a horrible cold for about a week now, and since I cant really take much, its been really hard on me. Also, one of my wisdom teeth have decided to start coming in...PERFECT TIMING HUH? So ive been pretty miserable lately.

MISS ANYTHING?:  Coffee, Feeling like my body is MINE, and not being taken over by a little over active alien!

MOVEMENT? All the time! I dont even think this child sleeps! Even when I was getting the ultrasound done, the tech had to stop several times and, her words exactly: "Lets see if she calms down a little so I can continue with my measurements!" Oh dear, im in for a ride with this kid!

FOOD CRAVINGS?: ICE! My iron is low, and I knew even beofre the dr ran the tests, because I always crave ice when my iron is really low.

ANYTHING MAKING ME QUEASY / SICK?: NOPE, Thank goodness!

SHOWING YET?: Pffft! Way past  "showing" and right onto "Dang she's huge!" Atleast thats how I feel anyways!

LABOR SIGNS?: Ive been getting alot of Braxton Hicks lately, and some light cramping, but nothing painful.

MOOD?: Anxious!

COMPLAINTS?: Nope!

BELLY BUTTON IN or OUT?: OUTTTTT!!!!!

WEDDING RINGS OFF or ON?: ON!

LOOKING FORWARD TO...?: Chirstmas!!!!!
