About Me

Oslo, Norway
Welcome to my blog! I am a wife and a Mommy of three. We have 2 daughters, Reagan and Hayden and a son, Grasyon. Here I write about our life happenings and try to capture memories the best I can. I hope this helps keep those close to us, in Texas, Iowa, Illinois, and beyond, a little more up to date while we're away. Enjoy!

Comparing Weeks 30-38

I couldn't figure out how to post pictures side by side so you were able to see (if there was any) differences between the two pregnancies, so I had to post them under each other. Other than being tan with a bad hair cut with Reagan and then really white and having to wear many layers with baby Boy I really don't see too much difference. My wardrobe with Reagan was much easier since I could just wear a summer dress and flip flops, I really struggled this winter with trying to find things to wear. Thank goodness I bought 2 pairs of maternity leggings before I left CA because those have been my staple for the past 4 months. My outfit usually consists of leggings, a scarf, and some sort of long sweater or cardigan. I just couldn't bring myself to buy a lot of maternity clothes, they are so expensive and usually not even that cute!

I have felt totally different since I was so extremely sick with Reagan and then only sick in the beginning with baby Boy. I have gained about 6 pounds less this time than with Reagan, but I think it's just because I was constantly eating to keep from being so sick. The pictures may not show it well, but I know I am carrying him WAY lower than I carried Reagan. It wasn't so bad in the beginning, but now it's so uncomfortable, I feel like I can hardly sit down!

Here I am between weeks 30 - 38 with both pregnancies.

Here is a quick week to week update with both Reagan and Baby Boy.

Reagan
Week 22 - Daddy send Baby girl her first pink roses today!
Week 24 - We get to see Daddy today!! WA-HOO!! I have missed him so much! Can't wait to hug and kiss him! I am so happy!
Week 28 - glucose testing today - supposed to be between 70-130, I was 135. Have to retest, she is supposed to measure 28cm and we measured 28.5! (weight 134)
Week 29 - Had my first Braxton contraction today. Just cramps and I was hot. Had to sit down and rest for about 30 min, we were out shopping. Also, got Reagan's new stroller - she is so spoiled already!
Week 30 - Second glucose test, passed with flying colors. Tons of hiccups, and got Reagan's car seat!
Week 31 - Took maternity pictures today, had a doctors apt. (weight 136.5)
Week 33 - This week I started having nausea again, not as bad, mainly in the middle of the night and morning. Back on my pills, acid reflux SO bad!
Week 34 - Went to hospital for abdominal cramping. I was slightly contracting, they gave me 2 shots and an IV. Cervix is still closed.
Week 36 - Went to to the doctor, dilated to 1cm - 50% effaced - -2 station. She could feel her head, she dropped! (weight 144)
Week 38 - 10 days early, she is here! 8lbs, 9oz, 21 1/2 in

Baby Boy

Week 26 - Move from CA back to Mesquite
Week 27 - Glucose test - not sure what my numbers are but I passed! WA-HOO I don't have to restest! (weight 126, 7 lbs less than with Reagan at this time) Still taking a 1/2 a pill every night, forgot a few nights and woke up feeling nauseous.
Week 28 - Scheduled the induction for Feb 9th just to make sure we knew that Darrin would be here and that Reagan would be taken care of.
Week 29 - Set up the rooms at mom and dads.
Week 30 - Started weekly sonogram appointments to watch the blood flow through the cord and Baby Snider's growth. Started feeling Braxton Contractions a few days this week - called the doctor about them.
Week 31 - The sono lady really scared me about the possibility rupturing the cord. I knew about the cord insertion but didn't realize how scary and rare it could be. (weight 130)
Week 32 - Talked to Dr. Romberg, she didn't seem too worried. If I need a C-section once the time comes I will get one, but not planing on it.
Week 33 - Finally made my first trip to Babies R Us, I hadn't bought a thing for baby boy yet besides clothes. STILL not set on a name! Braxton's are back. (weight 132)
Week 34 - Had a shower at April's house!
Week 35 - Darrin came home for the weekend, we were able to spend so nice quality time together. Hard to believe it might be the last time it is just us 3.
Week 36 - Had a little scare and I was sent to the big Baylor for some closer monitoring. All is fine, dilated 1cm: 50% effaced and he has dropped (weight 136)
Week 37 - Officially set the induction date! 7:30 am Wednesday, February 9th! Dilated 2cm, about 50% effaced. (weight 138)
Week 38 -Darrin's home!! 3cm dilated, 75% effaced.
