24 weeks, 6 MONTHS.


How far along? 26 weeks (6 MONTHS) today!
Baby is the size: The length of an ear of corn!
Maternity clothes? I can't get enough. I bought a couple more maxi style dresses at Target getting ready for Hawaii!
Sleep: I'm starting to lose a little more sleep due to being uncomfortable. And when I do get comfy I don't stay comfy for very long. The secret is to keep finding comfort in shifting..
Best moment this week: I just can't get over how big I'm getting and how fast time is flying by! I went to the temple today with my cute friend Heidy before she leaves on a mission next week and had to rent a maternity dress for the first time! Definitely a simple pleasure to find int the milestones that bring all these "firsts". It's so fun! 
Missing Anything? Port of Subs!
Movement? This Tongan rugby ninja NEVER ever ever stops kicking! It is the best thing in the whole world and has yet to get painful. Sometimes he's positioned uncomfortably but he hasn't reached up and kicked in my runs or anything yet so the movement hasn't been painful at all! It's AMAZING! <3
Food Cravings? Pickles and pizza still. And still not together :]
Feeling Sick? Nope not at all. Lots of uncomfortable and tired but not sick! :]
Gender:  BOY!
Labor Signs: No sir-ee! Not yet!
Belly Button? In
Wedding Rings on or off? On! I have gotten a couple small scares of swelling but it still hasn't happened yet!
Happy or Moody? Happy for the most part. Fatigue puts me in a bad mood but other than that I've been good!
Looking forward to: OUR BABYMOON! Ever heard of it? And of course to Hawaii! A romantic getaway with my handsome husband before this baby comes and we lose track of what's important for a little while? We have read lots of articles and things on the computer together to help us prepare for not losing ourselves in the baby and still remembering to be husband and wife first and I really hope that I do my part in remembering to make my husband feel special and valued when doing things like getting home from a long day at work and doing the countless amount of small favors I ask him to do throughout a day's time. He is my BEST helper and always willing to do whatever it is I think I can't do for myself. I cannot imagine not having him by my side through this all, both the good and the bad would never be as rewarding as it is and will be sharing it with him every step of the way! I am so lucky! Basically a second honeymoon to celebrate our year anniversary in the same place we spent our actual honeymoon and then our yearly family trip in Maui! I can't wait.

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
