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

Charlie meets the dentist...

Image
WARNING**** graphic photo at the end of post! My first #tinytongan  💙   My little buddy had a scary run in at the dentist today! He had to get his first filling ever, therefore was numb for the first time in his life. He did absolutely INCREDIBLE during his filling, which is every mommas biggest worry with dentist appointments! I should not have been nervous, considering how well he’s done since day one at the dentist, but I still was.... It wasn’t until after his filling was done, our visit turned bad. He was given a popsicle to suck on to help keep his hands out of his mouth and the cold helps him feel better! Well, I wasn’t allowed in the room the whole visit due to him has nitrous throughout and that being harmful to me while pregnant (could put me in labor). I sat in a chair just outside the room the whole procedure and was able to look through the door and see everything at anytime. At this point the door was open and I asked the nurse how long he’d continue the nitrou
