Milestones

So for each milestone we hit this pregnancy I want to purchase a new baby item. It will be a good way to space out the remaining things we need/want and and something a little extra to look forward to :)




24 Weeks

This is like the boppy but it's different. I love the strap them in feature it has so thats why I want to go with this one :)








28 Weeks

This is a convertible bassinet, which will turn into a toy chest after the baby doesn't need it anymore. At 28 weeks the viability is really high so the chances of the babe coming home would be good, baring any other complications like we had with Kaitlin.






32 Weeks

This one is for our trip over to see Travis and Kristi. And if the babe is born really early we won't be able to go, but if we make it to 32 weeks with a decent amount of cervix left the chances will be good we will go full term :)




36 weeks or whenever they take out the cerclage will be a day of going shopping, I will be hitting ALL the baby stores, even if there is nothing left for me to buy :)

New Outfits :)

Well I haven't really bought much for this kiddo, and since we really don't have much that is girly I bought her some cute things (which seems to be lacking this season).

Thought I would share :)


The first one I will probably use on our trip to see Travis ;) Since it will be nice for both warm and colder weather. Plus it Pooh which is cool.

The second dress Daddy really likes so we got it, and it comes with a matching diaper cover :) It's Newborn sized but it seems to me like it would work as the babe gets bigger.

Then these I have made. The white one is a little small I think, but the pattern said it was for a newborn. I don't know if she will wear these or in the end I will find a better pattern and donate these, but thought I would put them here anyways :)

Belly Pics Trio

Okay I think I can officially say that I look kind of pregnant ;) What a difference 10 weeks makes!

I couldn't resist! This one had to go up as soon as I found it ;)

19 Weeks Pregnant

Size = 6 in
Weight = 8 1/2 oz

Your baby is now able to make conscious muscle movements, such as sucking his or her thumb, in addition to involuntary muscle movements.

You are 19 weeks pregnant, and your baby has become a complex human being! Your baby is also getting a lot more active. Although he or she is still sleeping most of the time, there are periods of activity when your baby is kicking, turning, twisting, moving its arms, wiggling its fingers and toes, and punching. You still may not be able to feel any of these movements.

Other fetal development that is occurring when you are 19 weeks pregnant includes the following:

• Your baby is developing millions of motor neurons, which are nerves that connect the muscles to the brain
• Parts of the leg have now grown in proportion to the rest of the body
• Skin is developing and is transparent, appearing red because blood vessels are visible through it
• A creamy, white, protective coating called vernix (also known as vernix caseosa) begins to develop, which protects your baby's skin from its aquatic environment and helps prevent delicate skin from becoming chapped or scratched
• The placenta continues to grow and nourish the baby.

He or she now weighs about 8½ ounces and measures 6 inches, as long as a turkey sub from Subway on warm, delicious Italian Herbs and Cheese bread (or Honey Oat bread, or Oregano bread or ...)

19 Weeks Pregnant

By the time you are 19 weeks pregnant, you should weigh 10 to 13 pounds more than your pre-pregnancy weight. (HAHAHAHA, Try loose 2lbs :\ I started by loosing, then I gained 2lbs and thought okay we are moving in the right direction, NOPE they are gone AGAIN!)

Ultrasound Pics

This one shows it's a baby girl. On the ultrasound machine you could see three little bumps really clearly. Which if the babe had been in a different position it would have shown as three lines, and not bumps. We will ofcourse get it checked again and hopefully get a clearer picture next ultrasound :)

This one shows why I can't feel anything yet. The little one was punching me, but it was hitting the placenta which acts as a pillow between me and her. Most placenta are not in the front but rather the back of the uterus so you feel everything...so I will just have to wait longer to feel her move, and hopefully it won't act as a permanent buffer.

Next ultrasound is on Wednesday of next week. It will be another detailed to check the spot and other things that could indicate issues. So hopefully we walk out with good news at that appointment.
