Baby D has been getting the hiccups like 3 times a day! Haha. Like Richard said "Good. That means his lungs are developing." True :)

Dion has been up in my ribs since Sunday. It really hurts! OUCH! My big boy. He has officially ran out of room.

I've been so lazy to do a video lol I really just don't want to do anything anymore. Haha

NEW VIDEO! 29-30 Weeks Pregnant!

Small guy. Big appetite.

I have a feeling this little guy is going to be extremely fussy when he's hungry. Everytime I get even the slightest bit hungry he kicks up a storm and won't stop until I eat something. Haha. There wasn't really anything to eat and I was soooo hungry. Luckily baby daddy came to the rescue and brought me some Subways. Thank goodness because Dion was kicking SO hard & so crazy and after I ate he calmed down. Lol. Well see if he is the same when he comes. Might have to get used to him wailing and flailing when he gets hungry. Uh oh! Hope not lol

Doing the worm.

Baby D has been crazy active all day. For like 3 hours straight he was doing what looked like the worm haha Little squiggly movements. Now laying in bed he's kicking again. This boy is going to be hyper I can tell already. Haha (:

28 weeks pregnant!

Our little big boy

Baby D is starting to run out of space in there. He's been kicking me in the ribs & pelvic bone the past 3 or 4 days. He's definitely head down now. When he moves his feet I can feel & hear the water moving in my belly. It's really funny but feels extra weird haha. I can't believe my belly is going to get HUGE in the next few weeks. They say he's almost 3 pounds, 3 or 4 to go. I have to start lotioning up my belly at least 4 times a day to prepare for some serious stretching haha.

The blues

I've been really sad. I got a puppy on friday and we had to give her away yesterday. I loved her so much and cried my eyes out. I couldn't even carry her to them. I just stayed in the car crying. :( and my mom, sister & brother left for MA yesterday so I'm lonely. Sigh.

28 weeks pregnant!

Baby Movements! ♥

Finally caught him on video moving! yay! :)

I had the most difficult time sleeping last night. Besides peeing every hour! Literally..haha I could only sleep comfortably on my right side. Every time I layed on my left side I would move right back to the right. I figured out why when I woke up because baby Dion was laying only on the left and the right side was completely empty. haha. He started kicking and it hurt my pelvis. I guess he's laying vertically and has his feet right by my hip. Oh boy. He's already causing me sleepless nights and he's not even here yet!

I can't believe I'm going to be 28 weeks on friday. Wow. 7 months. That is insane. I feel like we just found out I was pregnant, now he'll be here in 2 months. I can't wait to see our little man. I am so excited to be getting bigger and seeing him squirm and twitch my whole belly. I'm getting more uncomfortable by the day but it's so worth it for our little guy :) I love him so nuch already 

NEW VIDEO! 27 weeks pregnant!

27 weeks pregnant!

Last week, Monday hurricane Sandy knocked out our power & it just came back on today. :) Baby D & I have been freezing here with no heat but it could of been worse so I'm thankful. I missed out on 2 weeks of videos but I'll just do our 27 week update after my appointment friday :)

Daddy & Dion games

Yesterday Dion was moving like crazy while Richard and I were cuddling watching tv. Dion squirmed extra hard and it moved my belly and Richard said "woah" haha. So he poked him and he squirmed back. It was so funny. They were playing a game. This went on for like 20 minutes.

I think my doctor is crazy! Lol She told me at my last appointment 2 weeks ago that my uterus is about 2 inches from my belly button. So why was baby Dion up under my ribs! I think it was his foot. I was feeling uncomfortable and having a pain underneath my ribs. When I got up and looked at my belly in the mirror a lump was by my ribs! Lol Dion you are a crazy boy. He's just taking over in there! Haha.He'll be out of room soon. Oh boy.

I spend pretty much the whole day staring at belly. Every time he moves I automatically lift up my shirt so I can see him squirming and moving. I made a joke today that he likes to Beyonce booty bounce lol That's what it looks like. It still feels like twitching but it's way above my belly now. haha. Dion, you are a crazy boy. I think that he's head down. My belly looks differently then it did. I noticed it on Saturday. It was low and poking out more towards the front. I can't wait to see my little guy, he's so active and crazy lately lol. He's gonna be a hyper kid, I can tell :)

Keep on cookin'!

I had braxton hicks again yesterday night :( Richard and I were laying in bed, watching season 3 of glee on netflix. I didn't get the tightness like I did on friday, but it started out as cramps. It was light cramps at first and then progressed to bad cramps all over my belly. Then my back started hurting. So every few minutes the pain alternated from my back to my belly. Weird thing is it was only on one spot on my belly, on the right side. Phew, that hurt. It went on for about 45 minutes, every 5 minutes or so then it went away. I am not appreciating these BH contractions! I got them twice in a week! Richard was freaking out. But he let me squeeze his hand when they came. Again with the "You wanna go to the hospital?" It's so cute how he gets worried, papa bear instincts kicking in early. Once again I assured him and told him if I thought I had to go to the hospital he would know lol I found it funny. Before he went to the bathroom he was like "whatever you do, don't give birth while I'm gone." Haha. I hope that's the last of these stinkin' braxton hicks, it's too early Dion! You still have a lot of cooking to do in there boy!

S'mores & braxton hicks

Yesterday night, Richard and I were out with friends. I was sitting on the porch for a while. When I got up my belly felt so tight. It didn't hurt as much as it felt uncomfortable. I kind of just brushed it off, but a few minutes later it was getting worse and it started to hurt more every few minutes. So I figured it was braxton hicks contractions. Good thing I knew about them or else I would of been freaking out! I looked it up on my phone & it said to try changing positions or drinking water. So one of my friends brought me some water and I went in the backyard to relax on a comfy chair. Richard kind of had a panicked look on his face "Do you wanna go to the hospital?" "Are you ok?" "Are these supposed tp happen so soon?" I just tried to reassure him that it's pretty common. That didn't really help. Lol and after sitting down AND the water I still had tightness but just in the left side of my belly. Every ten minutes or so I had a pain sensation too. It didn't hurt bad though so that's why I wasn't too concerned.  But..the upside is their was a bonfire and s'mores were involved. But the braxton hicks didn't go away for another hour or so. After I got home I felt fine and so did D because he was squirming & twitching away lol

NEW VIDEO! 23-24 weeks pregnant!

My belly at 24 weeks!

I notice D moves the most when I first wake up. He was squirming for like an hour when I got up and then he stopped. I felt twitching through out the day though. Compared to yesterday he's been lazy lol It's really fun to see him moving. It's crazy how fast he's growing. Little Dion will be here before we know it.

Hiccup!

Dion has had the hiccups 4 times today. What's up with that? Lol and it feels so weird..like hard twitching. I can tell it's hiccups because it comes at a steady pace for a few minutes and then goes away. Poor baby lol

My boy

Dion was moving like crazy yesterday night! Richard was in the kitchen watching the giants game and I was in the room being sick :( anyways..Dion started to move so I texted Richard and he came running in the room lol It was so exciting because he saw him moving for the first time! Yay. Lol he left the room saying "That's my boy. My boy."

Twitchy

You can see Dion movong from the outside now! So exciting! It looks like a really hard twitch.lol And now you can feel him move without pushing on him. Yay! Baby boy is getting big!

My little alarm clock

  Dion's been kicking me since 7 this morning. I can tell he's getting stronger because before when I was sleeping I never felt him and now he woke me up. Haha. And then just now he woke me up again. He's my alarm clock I guess.
  It feels so weird to know something is growing inside of you. It's really amazing to feel him squirm in there. I can't believe I'm carrying a baby. My baby. Wow. Insane. I love him so much already and I haven't even met him, so I know once I see his chubby little face I will fall head over heels in love with him. I hope he looks just like his daddy.

My belly really does get bigger everyday lol

Belly flops

On Saturday, my boyfriend and I felt Dion kicking! Yay! Usually you have to push really hard on my belly to feel him but now you can feel him wiggling and poking. Haha. We were right outside Chili's about to eat some dinner and he kicked me so hard I had to stop walking. Lol He was almost up by my ribs. Ha,he's kicking me as I write this. And you can feel something poking out. I think it's his foot. Idk. This is so fun :)

Tall like Daddy.

I think this little guy is gonna come out like 5 feet tall lol I can feel him moving at opposite sides of my belly now. He's only 5 months and taking up almost all of the room in there! Lol

Big Fat Belly!

Everytime my brother sees my belly he says "BIG FAT BELLYYY!" I think it's the cutest thing. haha. He also knows that when I say "Ouch" that means that Dion is kicking so he'll run and touch my belly and won't move his hand until he kicks or I tell him he's not kicking anymore. He's gonna be the best uncle ever! :) A plus to him being only 6 is that he'll have the energy to run around with him when I don't haha. Go Uncle Tj! 

Rubber Ducky Cookies!

I've been trying to figure out what to use for favors for the baby shower forever. I came across these and I think I want to try and make these. I found some videos on youtube that made it look pretty easy so why not give it a try. Hopefully they come out good because these are just too adorable not to have at the shower.

NEW VIDEO! Boy or Girl? (Part 2)

Baby boy has been so lazy for the past 2 days :( And I don't like it. He needs to moooovvveee! He kicked me once yesterday and that was it. That makes me nervous. C'mon D! Do some flips or something!

#babymamatweets!

I was looking at my tweets last night and I actually started laughing at a few of them. Thought I might share with you some of the #pregnancyprobz, #pregnancyconfessions & weird things I say on a daily basis. 

It's just emotions...

My emotions are all out of wack! Wishing for things that won't happen, and hoping for a change. I just constantly want to be around my boyfriend, but that's not possible. That makes me sad. :( sigh. I can't wait for D to get here so these hormones can calm my emotions.

Usually little guy is asleep all day and up late at night. Sometimes, he'll kick me around 12 in the afternoon and won't kick me until maybe 5 pm, then he'll start again at 11 pm. Haha. He's already keeping me up at night. But today he's been kicking a lot and it's early still. I think he's excited to hear daddy's voice later :) Have a great weekend guys! Thanks for reading.

NEW VIDEO! 20 weeks Pregnant!

My big ol' belly! 20 weeks!

Microwavable Booties?!

These are the most comfortable things in the world! OMG! My feet were killing me yesterday & I totally forgot I had these in my closet. I barely used them and I've had them for more then two years..Anyways They look pretty funny on haha. They smell good (that sounds weird) but it's supposed to be aroma-therapeutic. You can miocrowave them or put them in the freezer. That is not only cool but feels amazing. They look like slippers, but they aren't..Their just for sitting and relaxing, walking in these is the most awkard thing you can do. Haha. These are my new best friends! A pregnant woman's dream. AHHH!

FYI: I got these from Bed Bath & Beyond so here's the link if you're intrested! http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?SKU=16883670

Cheer up!

I've been feeling so down lately. I need to snap out of this right now! Me being sad is not good for the baby, I know and I feel so bad about it. I'm going to work on it, I need to. I hope I cheer up!

Why is it that this little guy hits me in the same spot like 6-7 times in a row? What are you doing in there man?..fist pumping?

NEW VIDEO! 18 Weeks Pregnant!

Yesterday little man was kicking up a storm. He was moving so much. Before yesterday he would stay way below my belly button, and now he's way up above my belly button. haha. Now people can see where he is, because when he's way up there, he looks like a huge lump. Yay! Dion is getting bigger :) I'm so excited.

My belly at 18 weeks!

Pain,Pain Go Away..

These pains in my vagina really have to stop lol. It feels so weird and it hurts like a charlie horse. The worst thing is that when they come I get like 6 sharp pains at a time. It's so uncomfortable. Especially when I'm around other people and say "OUCH" haha. Kind of awkward to explain...

These are the cutest things ever..MUST MAKE THESE!

Look what I found! I'm so ducky! :P

Shopping for school supplies for my little brother me and my Mom came across these and got super excited! They were only $2.99! What a deal! I could not pass them up just in case they weren't there next time. I found them at a local store called Amazing Savings. (No idea if they are located anywhere else). So excited!

Am I the only one who thinks this duck looks a little whacko? lol

Well..then again..this one looks weird too. haha.

NEW VIDEO! 17 weeks pregnant!

Pains...down there?..

I've been having the weirdest symptom..Pains in my vagina? Ha..tmi. Yes, but most of this stuff is. It feels like twitching or pinching and it comes at the most random times. Lol..weird? Has this happened to anyone else?

NEW VIDEO! Boy or Girl?..

PPD Checkup.

So today I went to the doctor to check up on my PPD that I got a few days ago. They told me to come back on Thursday so I did. Pretty much all the nurse did was feel my arm for like 2 seconds, write somethings down on my chart and said I can go. haha. So I'm tuberculosis free :) whoo hoo!

Old lady hips

Everytime I lay down after a day of work I get up and my hips hurt. I feel like an old lady lol struggling to get out of bed. Even getting out of my father's minivan was an issue. I feel old. I have to remember to mention that to my doctor next month..in the meantime I'll try to eat more foods with calcium. Go away old lady hips! Haha

Warning : TMI to the max! Warning.

Last night around 8 I started to feel really gassy and crampy. 9 o' clock it turned into severe painful gas. It felt so horrible. It would come & leave me almost paralyzed and speechless and then leave again. That continued on for another hour & a half. I decided to take a shower and let the warm water relax me. After many trips to the bathroom I thought it was hopeless but then the pains accompanied an urge to poop. (...lol) Then came the diarrhea.

I'm not gonna give you too many details about it..but yeah not fun at all.I feel badly for babies and their poopy diapers now. Where's the desitin when you need some, right?

Sorry about the topic but if you're gonna blog might as well give the full story. Pregnancy is not always pretty, folks! Can't say I didn't warn you :)

Blood, Needles & PPD!

Hey guys! :) So I just got back from the hospital.

I had to get blood taken. I was suprised because I thought that they were going to take more. Last time (around 9 weeks) they took 10 tubes of blood! :O lol This time it was just one. Apparently it's routine & "I'll be back again." Says the lady that took it. Haha oh, great. Good thing I'm not afraid of needles or blood. Boy, am I thankful for that. Also, down in the clinic they did something called a PPD. I was like what the heck is that lol It's a tuberculosis skin test. Pretty much the doctor injected PPD underneath my skin and it bubbled up on the surface. At first it was a huge bubble but when I got home it was almost completely gone. So yay that means I don't have tuberculosis! Phew! So now I have to go back Thursday just so the doctor can confirm that my bubble went down & everything's okay.

Here's my battle wounds:

Haha. Just kiddin'!

Talk to you guys later! XO :)

OOTD!

NEW VIDEO: Due Date & Finding Out!

Baby Pokes!

I'm so excited. I've been feeling him move for the last few days. I mean, it feels like he's poking me but it's still exciting that he's getting bigger and stronger. My boyfriend and Mom were trying to feel him move yesterday but you can't feel him move through my belly. But you can tell where he is because it's hard on one side and empty on the other lol. So far his favorite side is the left. I can't wait until other people can feel him by touching my belly. :)

My belly at 16 weeks!

NEW VIDEO! 16 weeks pregnant update!

My very first video: Baby Mama Introduction! :D

Just getting started...

Hi everyone! OMG! I am so excited to start working on this blog & on YouTube. I got the idea the other night after watching Mommy vlogs on YouTube I got really interested to try it. I figured if I'm watching them maybe some one out there will want to watch me :) haha. I just want to reach out to a community of mom's going through similar situations as me. I plan to blog about a variety of things. It will probably be similar to my youtube channel but with pictures instead. Maybe some hauls, reviews, belly progression shots..and stuff like that. Anyways..I'll try to keep this short.

So right now I am 15 weeks pregnant :) My boyfriend and I had a sonogram and the little one decided to open up their legs & the sonogram technician said "I can't tell you for sure what it is but you can tell for yourself." lol The little guy decided to show us his junk so It's most likely a boy even though it's yet to be confirmed. So here he is..

Everything with this pregnancy has not gone as expected lol Including getting pregnant in the first place. It was a shock at first but we have both adjusted. I guess I'll get in to how I've been feeling soon. I don't wanna bore you guys too much ;) xoxo Thanks for reading.
