27 weeks

I've got so much catching up to do! I will get it done!

How far along: 27 weeks 3 days! Third Trimester!
Baby Growth: Tallen is about 14 1/2 inches long stretched out and weighs about 2 pounds!
My Symptoms: I have energy, but I get exhausted fast. It has been so busy and keeping up with a toddler on top of it all is hard. Were making it though!
 
Heartburn has been a hit and miss. It comes randomly like the nausea did with this pregnancy! Usually at night and sometimes drinking a glass of chocolate milk helps it. Sometimes it doesn't!
 
Boobs are still huge and I still hate them.
 
Back pain comes and goes. If i'm on my feet for a while it starts to bother me.
 
Sleeping at night has been tough. Two nights in a row I was just so HOT. Like literally woke up sweating. Then finally we had a couple nights of cool weather which helped me sleep better kinda. Then I also have to toss from left to right side with a pillow between my legs all night. The pelvic pain is so bad. Only on the right side this time, but still.. I was hoping it would go away for a little bit, but its here to stay I suppose.
 
My feet tend to bother my too if I'm on them for a good period of time.Or if I let them hang down instead of being propped up they will start to ache and swell. No good!
 
I feel like I've been eating like a horse lately. Basically always hungry.
 
I get out of breath sooooo easily and feel like I can't breathe often. My legs will also feel so tired like ive ran a marathon when I literally have only walked to the bathroom. It kind of worries me, but I think its just all apart of the pregnancy.
 
Gender: Boy
Weight gain:  I stepped on the scale the other night and almost died! I have gained 15 pounds! I really am stuck between that its pretty normal and that is awful because the Holidays are here. Like Halloween is next week! 
Maternity clothes: officially need all maternity clothes.. unless its sweats or leggings or tshirts
Stretch marks: No new ones, but I can see those old ones :/
Belly button in or out: In but kind of flat now
Sleep: It has been hit or miss this week. Up until now though, its been pretty good. just some insomnia at all hours of the night, pelvic and hip pain and sweating.
Best moment this week: We got some GREAT cooler weather, the fair has started and the holidays are basically here!
Worst moment this week: nothing really..
Miss anything:  this is a tough one because I love the moments of pregnancy, but also miss being able to move and see and wear clothes and hold my baby and such... but i'll miss it as soon as its gone.
Movement: He moves more than Lakelyn for sure. I have been feeling him pretty good and so has Tyler.
Cravings: I'd say Coke or chocolate.
Queasy or sick: feeling great!
Wedding rings on or off: On
Looking forward to:  The fair in a few hours, Halloween next week, finishing his nursery hopefully next week, our baby shower in a week and a half, Christmas decorating, maternity pictures, thanksgiving, black Friday, another 3D ultrasound, hanging out with my baby girl enjoying every last moment of her being an only child. Life is good my friends.

24 weeks

I am so bad about updating at this point! I didn't have an update with Lakelyn from 21-27 weeks I think it was! That is horrible!
I had my 24 week appointment today and it was nice and boring which is a good thing. Everything I have going on is normal and heartbeat was in the 140s!

How far along: 24 weeks, 1 day
Baby Growth: Tallen is about 12.5 inches and about 1.25 pounds! He is moving amniotic fluid in and out preparing for breathing!
My Symptoms: I'm still fairly tired a lot of the time, but I think its just life with a toddler and work and being pregnant. It's October and i'm trying to schedule all of my photo sessions in this month because I will be taking a break until after Tallen comes, so I'm just busy!
 
Heartburn is started to come around. It is really hit or miss, but mainly comes at night before bed. Chocolate milk will help sometimes, but not everytime like it did with lakelyn!
 
My boobs are ginormous! I hate them!
 
Lower back soreness comes sometimes if i'm sitting for too long and I think its because I have bad posture with a big belly and big boobs.. just doomed I guess!
 
I have been having pelvic bone pain only on my right side. It hurts pretty bad if I walk or sit a lot. The main times I really feel it are when i'm laying down and need to sit up or roll over. There is nothing to do about it and i'm dreading third trimester with it!
 
I have been feeling this guy move around a lot more recently! Nobody has really felt him from outside yet, but he is a wiggle worm once he gets started for sure! I love it and that is for sure my favorite part of pregnancy!
 
Gender:  Little Boy!
Weight gain:  I have hit the 10 pounds gained mark :/ I mean I know its totally fine and actually I have gained less this time at this point than with Lakelyn. I just know that its now the holidays and all the bad food is coming up and I really need to watch my weight!
Maternity clothes: I literally just had to go spend about $200 on maternity clothing. I tried to get more of the cardigans, tank tops and leggings and just a few pair of jeans so that I can continue wearing these even after i'm not pregnant. there is no getting around it anymore..
Stretch marks: Nothing new
Belly button in or out: In, and getting flatter.
Sleep: It has been pretty good lately.
Best moment this week: The weather has cooled down just a tad this past week which has been amazing because I just can't deal with hot weather and being pregnant! This past weekend the low was in the 50s which was so nice. The highs are still in the 80s but i'll take that over 90s anyday! We also had a 3D ultrasound last Friday, but have to go back tomorrow because he's stubborn too! I'll post about that after tomorrows!
Worst moment this week: Just trying to juggle everything and get everything done this month so that I can enjoy the rest of this time with Lakelyn
Miss anything:  I can't say that I do.
Movement: Tons lately!
Cravings: Some of the things that I have been wanting lately are: chocolate and soda! terrible for someone that A) is trying to watch their weight and B) has their glucose test in 4 weeks literally 2 days after Halloween? I mean really!
Queasy or sick: Been having more nausea lately which is no fun!
Wedding rings on or off: On
Looking forward to:  Our 3D ultrasound tomorrow <3
Belly Pictures:  One day I will get to updating these belly pictures! they're all on facebook so I do have them I just need to get them on here!
