How is Mama Feeling?

Weight Gain: Same as last week +1 pound putting me at 97.8 lbs
Exercise: Still going on walks in the morning/running after two toddlers all day
Craving: Lemonade, chocolate, and pumpkin anything
Eating: Cheerios, string cheese, pasta, shrimp, and chicken


Symptoms:

• Tired: Going to bed around 830/9pm 
• Heartburn: Heartburn after eating especially at night when I lay down
• Stuffy Nose 
• Crazy Dreams
• Sore breasts again
• Itchy belly: Definitely growing

This week when I was making the boys lunch I felt a big kick on my left side. That was the first time I felt a kick without laying down and actually waiting to feel for movement. I couldn't help but smile! I love, love, love this part of pregnancy and I can't wait for more kicks from our little boy or girl. :)
  
Looking Forward To: Fall! I love leggings and over sized sweater weather. And ofcourse pumpkin muffins, pie, and bread. Yummm!

Never Forget 9/11

23rd Birthday

Yesterday was my 23rd birthday and to say my husband went above and beyond to make this day special for me would be an understatement. I am so thankful for him everyday!  I love you Matt!

16 week Doctor Appointment

This afternoon was our 16 week doctor appointment my weight was 98lbs so up one pound since our last appointment four weeks ago and my blood pressure was good it was 108/64. The doctor didn't seem concerned about my lack of weight gain though I might try to up my calorie intake.

Everything looked great with baby #3 we sadly were not able to find out the gender today because the umbilical cord was between the babies legs. ANDDDD we didn't get any pictures!!! Ugh! At least we were able to see our healthy little one kicking up a storm in there.

Have a good Tuesday everyone!
