Yes, you read that correctly. Ta da!
Baby #3 is on the way, due June 10. Both girls came about a week early, though, so I’m predicting the big day will be June 4.
Here are answers to the top 3 questions I always get when people find out I’m pregnant again:
- No, we’re not finding out if it’s a boy or girl, just like with the first 2.
- I’ve been feeling horrible, worst of the 3 (well I was up until about week 13-14. thankfully i’ve gotten pretty much back to normal, as much as i possibly can anyway with a rapidly expanding girth).
- This is the last one (i keep saying this is definitely the last one, but now that i’m feeling better i start questioning that again. however, unless there is a drastic change in either the size of our house or the size of our bank account, i’m about 99.9% sure that the raulings will stop at 3).
I was debating whether or not to do those little poll things like I did when I was pregnant with Lana because they seem so cheesy, but I decided why not. Last time around, might as well see how things progress. So here’s my first pregnancy update for #3:
- How far along? 18 weeks
- Total weight gain: 17 lbs. Good lord, that sounds like a ton of weight to have put on in only 18 weeks. However, I was up like 11 lbs. at the end of the first trimester alone due to constantly eating to try to quell my nausea, so I guess 6 lbs. in the past 5 weeks isn’t too extreme.
- Maternity clothes? Not quite yet. As of last week I was down to 1 pair of jeans and 1 pair of khaki-ish pants still fitting, but both pairs of maternity jeans are still too big. So yoga pants it is for a while.
- Stretch marks? Nope, not yet. And the third time around better not be when those suckers rear their ugly heads, either.
- Sleep: So far pretty good.
- Best moment this week: Um, well, seeing as we’re going to either have to dump money into our piece of shit truck or else buy a new one, this week hasn’t exactly been stellar.
- Miss anything? Nothing right now really.
- Movement: Yes, since 1 day before week 15. That’s the earliest of all 3 – D was 20 weeks and L was around 16 weeks.
- Cravings: Not really, but I have eaten a lot of pickles during this pregnancy. That’s not super odd, though, since I’ve always liked pickles.
- Aversions: Now that the first trimester is over, again, not really anything. Those first couple weeks, though, woah – life in general was an aversion of mine.
- Gender: Not finding out.
- Labor signs: Zero.
- Symptoms: Well let’s see. 17 lbs. of weight gain, first of all. And a lot of gas. You’re welcome.
- Belly button in or out? Still in, thankfully. I’m sure it’ll go out, though, since it did with Lana.
- Wedding rings on or off? On.
- Looking forward to: Talk about a loaded question! Where do I begin? Oh, but you mean baby related? Seeing as it’s still fairly early, not too much yet. We have way too much to do here at home before I really start concentrating on meeting #3. I do have the anatomy scan ultrasound in about 2 weeks, though, so that’ll be cool.
And the always-anticipated comparison shot, this time in triplicate. D is on the left, L in the middle, and #3 on the right. Isn’t our front door lovely? Joke.
So there you go, our big news. I know I haven’t written on here in forever, and I’m not even going to try to pretend that now I’ll be able to do so more often, because that never works. Maybe with these pregnancy updates I will be able to, though, we’ll see.
2015 will definitely be interesting around here.
