24 weeks!!

This week marks the 24th week. I'm growing little by little, my belly button is actually beginning to pop out. I'm currently weighing 137 lbs, that's 10 lbs heavier than my prepregnancy weight.
I feel little man kick, punch, move, roll and hiccup. His movements have become a lot more constant and around the clock. Every movement serves as a reminder of the wonderful gift that im helping nurture for my more than wonderful and deserving intended parents.
At my next Drs appointment I will be ordered to preform a pregnancy glucose tolerance test. I know it isn't a fun test, however its definitely a very important test so I'm more than willing to get it over with. I've never had any issues with this(or anything) with the pregnancies of my boys, so I'm not worried one bit.
Here are a few puctures of my growing belly.

21w3d

Here we are. 21 weeks down, more than half way through this journey and everything is going great!
My belly is slowly growing, baby boy moves and kicks all day but manages to let me sleep at night :-). Cravings are almost non-existent, which is nice cause it's helped me maintain a steady and healthy weight gain throughout the past months.
My boys met S&C as well as their young son this past Sunday for the first time via skype. While my oldest tried to play "Mr Cool"and remained calm and collective,my youngest was the total opposite,  totally wanting to be the center off attention the entire time. Overall it was a fun rewarding experience and my boys can now put a face to "the mommy and daddy" that we so often speak of. Im very excited for when they all finally get to meet in person (when C&S come for the birth of their little bundle of joy!!)

19 weeks and counting

Today Marks our nineteenth week. It's exciting to know that in one week we'll be half way through this journey. Well, its exciting because it's seems so real at this point. Yet saddening because I feel everything has gone by too fast to be able to enjoy as much as id like.
As im writing this I cant help but smile. S&C's little boy almost seems to know im speaking of him. I say this because 10 minutes ago he was super still, and at this point hes moving arround sooo much kicking and twirling, continuously. Im happy to know he's a strong, smart active little boy!

18w4d

I can't believe how fast this pregnancy is going by! I'll be 19 weeks on Sunday, and seriously it seems as though a few weeks ago was our transfer date.
Ive been feeling baby movements for sometime now. However, recently the movements are more constant and my boys are able to put their hands in my abdomen and slightly feel the movements aswell.
Last week I finally accepted that my prepregnancy pants no longer fit comfortably. So to avoid any future temptations I've stored them into my closet where they'll sit for the next few months until I'm back to my pre pregnancy size.
San Diego heat had been crazy for the last month or so, ranging from low nineties up to 105 degrees Fahrenheit and in some areas even hotter! YUCK!!! Extreme heat means extra consumption of water, which results in frequent bathroom breaks. Luckily yesterday seemed to have cooled down some, so I'm hoping we'll start having normal weather soon.
Overall this pregnancy had been a breeze, no severe symptoms or constant discomforts so this pregnant lady is as happy as can be :-) :-)

17 weeks

Today marks 17weeks 2 days, time is just going too fast.
My belly has definitely popped out,  fetal movements are most continuous as are the constant bathroom trips :)
This little boys is sooooo good, I feel him kicking and moving all day but come night time he lets me sleep like a baby. WHAT A LITTLE ANGEL!!!
Yesterday was my 4 week check up with my obgyn, everything was perfectly fine, little man has a strong steady heartbeat, is able to suck his thumb (and foot) and we were able to see bits and pieces of his handsome facial structure. I'll see my Dr again in four weeks and will also see a perinatalogist who will preform a full anatomy scan of this little guy to assure all is well.
Life as a pregnant women in sunny San Diego definitely isn't the funnest during the heat, but I'm able to make a due and enjoy every bit of it. Although I'll admit,  I'm dieing for some rain and some cooler weather :-)

14 weeks and counting

As of last week I was hardly showing a belly whatsoever. I had a tiny bump and even that was barely noticable.  Well that's changed. It feels as though over night my belly just popped out of no where. I even had a co - worker who had no idea I was actually pregnant - ask me if I was expecting.  I was in total shock to say the least. I confirmed my pregnancy with her and finally accepted that it wasn't just me who thought I was beginning to show. So here we are, 14w5d with a little bump of joy :)

It's a healthy baby............. (boy?/girl?)

So its time to update my blog to reveal S&C's baby's gender.
Early Monday morning upon calling the lab, I was so relieved to hear that the harmony results were no longer pending. HOW EXCITING!!!
The results revealed that the little one that I'm carrying for S & C is not only a baby boy, but a healthy baby boy. The 3 chromosomes tested came back as low risk with a low 1/10,000 probability and revealed that come February 2015 C & S will be welcoming another sweet baby BOY into this world. 💙💘
