14 Weeks.

How far along? 14 weeks 6 days
Baby is the size: KIWI!
Maternity clothes? YES. bleh. Preparing for our trip to California last weekend I realized in thinking about what to pack that I had nothing! I had hardly a pair of shorts that fit me before I got pregnant let alone with this baby belly coming on! Confession: I'm not like most girls that wear their pants at their waist. I've never been fond of my belly so I've always pulled pants up over it to avoid that "muffin top" look. So for most girls that gain a belly out of nowhere and wear pants below it can get away with wearing a belly band, I am far from that. On the other hand I'm happy to tell you maternity pants are the best thing that's ever happened to me and they are SO comfortable. I felt like a million bucks throughout our trip and since. I haven't had to buy many tops so far and I'm hoping I won't have to. MOST of my tops I always buy big and stretchy so I think I'll be able to go a while without buying any.
Sleep: I have actually been sleeping well. I don't have enough of a belly or far along enough yet to find it uncomfortable to sleep on my belly. I still try not to as much as I can but sometimes I end up there anyway. I haven't established a "side" yet. Once again with not much a belly it's hard to figure out at this point.
Best moment this week: Does last week count since I haven't blogged in a while? And there's a down side to this best moment....while taking pictures following Nu'us last rugby game in California the cute girl taking our picture said "okay now kiss her belly", CUTEST thing ever and the cutest picture I have ever seen came from it. It was the first time that's happened, it was raw. I was giggling and smiling so big and it turned out SO cute. Well, later on messing with my camera I was trying to show Nu'u something and demonstrated taking a picture in the dark with no flash that it is super slow and just turns up black. So I had a black picture. While showing him and trying to delete the black photo I had taken I deleted the picture. LUCKILY (kind of) I had taken a picture on my phone earlier OF the picture on my camera, so I still have the photo just not in the quality I did originally :/

Missing Anything? I REALLY missed the rides at Disneyland and Port of Subs sandwiches.
Movement? YES. A little but I can't really distinguish what exactly it is.
Food Cravings? Not yet!
Feeling Sick? I got a random 24 hr flu on sunday but other than that no. I always feel kinda upset in my tummy but I've just gotten used to it.
Gender: APRIL 30th we will find out! :]
Labor Signs: Far from it. haha
Belly Button? In
Wedding Rings on or off? On. I got swollen in Disneyland just from all the walking and stuff and thought I might have to take them off soon but shrunk back down by them time we got home!
Happy or Moody? Ask my husband? haha I think I've been pretty happy. OR should I correct myself...I don't feel like I'm any MORE moody than I was before? hahaha
Looking forward to: GENDER REVEAL PARTY AND OUR NEW HOUSE!

From day one...my breastfeeding journey!

Image
On Friday: October 10, 2014, I became a mom to the most handsome little brown boy I had ever seen. Since I was adopted, my mom was one of my biggest supporters to the idea of breastfeeding. She never got to experience that and she wanted to make sure I did! It was VERY important to me that I breastfed as it was something I always dreamed of doing. On October 13 (day 4) we visited our pediatrician for the first time. She was my pediatrician as a child and I absolutely love her and recommend her to EVERYONE! While there, she asked me how Charlie was latching and being brand new to this experience, I figured any problems I was having at this point were just as much me as they were him, since we were both learning. At this point I was not having any pain, cracking or bleeding, and I didn't realize that Charlie was not eating well. After I answered her she responded with "I just asked because he's a little tongue tied". I had absolutely no clue what that meant, that it cou

The baby boy's GRAND entrance!

Image
WARNING: There is absolutely NOTHING glamorous about birthing a baby, no matter what the story. So if you are not okay with somewhat graphic terms/explanations I suggest you not read! Nonetheless, this story, like many more, is miraculous and beautiful and something I will treasure forever and ever.  40 weeks came and went faster than I could have imagined. Looking back it was the longest day of my life. But now it seems like forever ago. Yes I spent 26 hours laboring on my DUE DATE! At least most of it. I did not for a minute, of my entire pregnancy, expect this boy to come a minute early or even on time...and I guess after all he was still technically late! Backup: Ever since getting to a point in my life of thinking about having children I decided I wanted to have a very natural labor and delivery. I have a very high pain tolerance and have dealt with "high pain" situations well throughout my life. I also have a very firm belief that everything happens for a rea

Farewell LuLaRoe!

For those of you who don't know, I recently ended my journey as a Retailer for LuLaRoe. I've been thinking up this post for a long time, even before deciding to start my new space for mommas on Instagram! But I'm glad I did, to have an avenue for this entry to be shared!:] I had taken a VERY long break from this blog in light of the time, effort and work I was putting into my LLR business for nearly 2.5 years and I wanted to share with you what I learned during my journey, and also get this blog up and running again! I spent all weekend before "launching" my new Instagram, making over this blog and transitioning it to this new chapter! If you'd like to read my older posts all about my Tongan and I {and a little about our first little} just go back to the timeline between 2013-15! :] LuLaRoe CHANGED my life, for the greatest! If you were looking for another post about all the negative things going around lately, you're in the wrong place! I will forever
