16 Weeks

How far along? 16 weeks and 5 days!
Baby is the size: Avocado!
Maternity clothes? Yes of course! But I'm really liking them :] I was thinking for a while I wouldn't be needing to buy many shirts because I have always bought shirt a little bigger and looser but I'm starting to think it won't be long till my tops don't fit :/ if so it will be a good excuse for some baby bump hawaii shopping! 
Sleep: I have slept well for the most part the last couple weeks. For the most part I'm woken up having to pee and can usually fall right back asleep, other than that sleeping has gone well! I have noticed though in the last little bit that I'm unable to be comfortable on my tummy, which obviously makes me smile a little because it's just another form of evidence to this bump! :] Have you seen me lately?! I feel HUGE! and of course I'm not even half way yet! haha
Best moment this week: We made it through the move! haha Even though I wasn't allowed to help much because I'm not supposed to lift anything heavy, I'm not supposed to use harsh cleaning chemicals, I'm not supposed to be bent over for a ton of time ( I couldn't be if I wanted to I get winded SUPER fast), I was really of no help except telling what to do and of course making food runs! :]
Missing Anything? Not noticeably...thought I've always been a very independent and self reliant person for the most part it's frustrating sometimes having my husband and other tell I can't do things and that they'll do it for me!
Movement? I almost constantly feel flutters and different movement but nothing distinct as to label a "kick" yet!
Food Cravings? Sour sour sour! And some salty. The problem with salty is that I've always liked extra salty...so that's not necessarily different!
Feeling Sick? NOPE! I feel like a million bucks and it's awesome! This is the good stage of pregnancy and I'm really trying to treat it as such and enjoy it all!
Gender: WE FIND OUT FRIDAY!!!
Labor Signs:  Far from it!
Belly Button? IN
Wedding Rings on or off? Except for my hands being extremely dry I haven't seen any change in them as far as size, if anything they feel skinnier! Sounds good to me! haha
Happy or Moody? Happy for the most part! I have my normal mood swings but nothing worse than before I was pregnant!
Looking forward to: FINDING OUT WHAT THIS SUCKER IS! I cannot wait. We have a doctors appointment tomorrow and getting an ultrasound. We will have the doctor seal the reveal in an envelope. I will either take the envelope or have someone else take it and buy white paint bottles (so you can't see what color fills them) and have them filled with whatever color corresponds with them reveal, either pink or blue. Friday we are gathering family and a couple friends to find out with us! Nu'u and I will be taking the white bottle and having a paint fight, the revel will be by what color paint comes out of the bottles and on to each other! We cannot wait to find out and I cannot wait for our paint fight! haha I have been in love with this idea since I first saw it and I'm so excited!

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
