32 Weeks!

How far along? 32 Weeks and 3 days!
Baby is the size: SQUASH!
Maternity clothes? I had to go out and get myself a couple more things this week while my husband was out of town hunting! It made me feel better :]
Sleep: I can't sleep. More than maybe 2 hours at a time.
Best moment this week: 4 lbs and 4 oz! That is what this little man weighed in this last monday through an ultrasound. My baby center app that rang in thursday to tell me that "baby" is about 3.75 lbs and I finally got to tell my husband that he was right all those times he said "he's probably way bigger than what they say!" haha it was an exciting thing to hear and know considering our last ultrasound was 20 weeks and all we really got from that was everything was on track and looking good! 
Missing Anything? Yeah my brain? I don't know how many appointments I have been late for or completely forgot after looking at my calendar just an hour or 2 before. It is RIDICULOUS! This pregnancy brain stuff is absolutely no joke and gets quite annoying to a person who used to forget NOTHING!
Movement? YES! We got a straight shot to the ribs this week! AWESOME! (joke) As I thought for a couple days before how much higher I had started to feel him I thought about all the moms that warned me that kicking is not so fun when it gets up to reaching your ribs. Boy were they right, kind of. I realize I only get kicked in the ribs when I sit a certain way and almost cramp his feet up under them. Maybe that just means its gonna get worse but for now if I sit taller or I'm laying down I don't usually feel it. 
Food Cravings? I haven't been craving anything weird or out of the ordinary.
Feeling Sick? The shortness of breathe kind of caught me off guard this week as I was trying to sleep and all of the sudden had to take a gasp of air from feeling like I couldn't breathe for a second. Very weird. I've been a singer my whole life so breathing has not only been trained in me but I have always had very good deep breathes and never had problems breathing. 
Labor Signs: Still waiting on that! haha Haven't felt anything so far that feels anything close to contractions (at least not that I know of)
Belly Button? IN but barely! haha I'm not sure if mine will pop out or not but we'll see!
Wedding Rings on or off? Well, off for the most part but not due to swelling. Due to the reaction I've been getting under my ring that worsens when I keep it on. I can't keep it off constantly because I hate not wearing it and since I haven't swelled much I'm not feeling like I CAN'T. It's hard to go certain places and not put it on even though I probably shouldn't. I like showing that thing off! haha
Happy or Moody? Happy for the most part. Annoyed is a different story. I am annoyed at all and everything almost always. 
Looking forward to: MY BABY SHOWER! I get to celebrate with all my loved ones, close friends and family, next weekend and I couldn't be more excited! I cannot believe it is already close enough for this baby to come that we are having a shower! This pregnancy and summer has FLOWN by and I really can't believe it. I am so excited for this little man to come along side the many other emotions that come with it, anxious, nervous, scared, worried, confident, prepared (sometimes)....just a whole lot of mixed emotions constantly changing! But all in all I'm ecstatic to be a mom and experience all that comes with it!

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
