25w6d in Baby Stuff, Part 3
I’m always asked if this is my first kid. Hmm! My glucose test is today. Hopefully I pass it. I am hungry and want to eat!
Christmas was great! We had family over and managed to keep the house pretty clean. The only thing that wasn’t great was two kids ended up getting sick. They had fevers, and then two kids were th...

I have had a few labor/delivery dreams that mostly consist of me having this large baby that I’m snuggling but not remembering labor or giving birth. She weighed 8lbs 11oz in last night’s dream b...
I’m on break from work and school! I’m doing some laundry, did some dishes, dyed my hair, and finished putting together all of the stockings and wrapping presents. I need to finish cleaning for g...

– Coffee is making me sick after I drink it. Womp, womp. – I’m just as tired as I was in my first trimester and having to take naps. – She’s ultra mega active, especially in the evening/night! – ...
Life’s going! Things that have happened recently: – Lorelei had her tonsils out. She’s all healed up and never had any major issues. She was acting like herself a couple hours after the procedure...

I just feel generally… bleh. I feel out-of-it. Fatigued and groggy. My legs are swollen. I have had some cramping lately and a few contractions – nothing serious, just my body getting ready for ...

Lorelei is so darling! She hugs and kisses my belly and says she loves her little sister all the time. She’s excited to be an older sibling!

Well we’re at the point of no return now, I’m more than halfway done. This is going by so fast! Maeve was more bouncy and kicky last week than she is this week. She’s moving quite a bit, just in ...
Thanksgiving break is at an end, and life as normal is resumed. I’m not too thrilled about it, really. Although I only have three work weeks left before my next break (which is about a month long...

Sometimes I do so well. I’m a machine who can keep humming along, until one day, I can’t. Sometimes I think I am in constant motion and planning to avoid letting it catch me. But I cannot always ...

She’s a very active little thing! I feel her moving around all the time, and she loves to really stretch out and kick around when I’m laying down still, on my back. At the ultrasound she was est...
ONE MORE WEEK UNTIL THANKSGIVING BREAK, THEN TWO WEEKS LEFT OF THE SEMESTER! I’m very much looking forward to next week off of work/school, then I only have two weeks of school, and three weeks o...

It’s a girl. I have absolutely ZERO names. I was 99% sure it was a boy. I’ve been dealing with feelings of disappointment and guilt that I feel disappointed, but it’ll resolve itself. It doesn’t...

This child is stubborn, much like my other two biological children. This kid would not move at all yesterday. I spent so much time poking and prodding and wiggling things and nothing was working....

I’M STARVING! All the time! I wake up in the middle of the night so hungry. I feel sick and very hungry, even after I eat. Bleh. Nothing satiates me. I tried the eating more protein and filling t...
Halloween went off without a hitch! I was able to leave work early and go to Cannon’s school to bring snacks and visit him at his class party. I love doing that stuff! I love interacting with hi...
I had an intake appointment with a therapist today. I think it’s going to go well. She specializes in CBT which is what I wanted to do. I dread going to work. The professor that I’m having issues...

Nauseated, and Zofran isn’t working too well the past two days. And now insomnia. I just want to feel good, thanks. Sometimes I question my sanity because who even does this on purpose. A third t...

I had an appointment today! Holy cow, I gained four pounds since my last appointment! I guess bubs has been doing a lot of growing! My clothes still fit the same, so I’m assuming it’s all bump. S...
All I ever want to do is make plans, lists, and goals. I have personal goals, home/kid goals, and vague work/school goals. This week for personal goals I made myself a dentist appointment, and a...

I ate an entire 12” sub sandwich just now. Fuuuuck. I have gained five pounds in the past four months so far but I bet I’ve gained that much in the past few weeks and my doctor is going to be lik...
I feel like everything is mostly daunting. I understand now why I’m so anxious about having a baby and James isn’t. He said “I know I can do it.” I don’t think that I can. I don’t think I can tak...

I can’t sleep very well. I was asked three times yesterday if I was expecting. I guess it’s starting to become quite obvious now! It’s still not a question I’d ask people myself though. I didn’t ...

The main difference between this pregnancy and my others is that I am always fantasizing about holding the baby and snugging with him, and I feel quite ready (aside from being only 14 weeks and h...
