Bump to Birth: 7 Months


We're on the home stretch and we still have so much to do! Time is going so quickly this time around.


Size:  Eggplant 


Gender: Blue is our color


Name: It will be a surprise!


Symptoms: sinus pressure,  increase in carpal tunnel issues, vivid dreams, tire easily, sensitive gums, toothache, round ligament pain, back pain


Emotions: Excited and anxious.  We have not begun on the nursery transformation and the fact that time is dwindling is weighing on me. I feel like so many things have been put on hold and they are outside of our control. This is a definite time of refinement and character building.


Doctor’s Visit: 

March 27th- Baby boy had a great heartbeat and my blood pressure looked good.

April 6th - We had another ultrasound to get the remaining measurements.  The baby looked wonderful and they could get what they needed. My placenta has not moved in the past 4 weeks so I'll have another ultrasound on May 15th.

April 14th- I was having some really strange back pains since the night before. They reminded me of the contractions I had with our daughter.  My doctor had me come in and based on my sympptoms, I was sent to Labor and Delivery.  I was monitored there for 3 hours. Everything checked out ok.

April 16th- Dentist appointment for a cleaning. I have to return after the baby to have 1 major cavity filled and then he'll take care of four others that are borderline. This kid is zapping my teeth of calcium and minerals!            

Movement: He's pretty active these days, and quite powerful. 

Cravings: eggs, donuts, cereal, pizza and BBQ pork rinds

Aversions:  primarily smells and Mexican food

According to Big Sister: She's still not "wanting" a baby at the house but she loves to acknowledge that there is one in mommy's tummy.

- Our friends found out that they are having a boy AND a girl!

  1. Happy birthday to you and your little girl! AND congrats on your baby boy on the way! I'm so glad I ran across your blog on Mommy Moments. We're only a month apart with our second babies and I was wondering if you make a baby #2 registry or not! Now I know :) I really need to get on that...
