I wanted to see what I looked like and how things went with each pregnancy, so I decided to pull some pictures and see how all 3 pregnancies were. I couldn't figure out how to post pictures side by side, 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 the winter pregnancies, I don't see too much difference. My wardrobe with Reagan was much easier since I could just wear a summer dress and flip flops, however, winter wear is a whole new story. Especially a Norway winter. Thank goodness I bought a few pairs of maternity leggings before I left because those have been my staple for the past couple of months. My outfit usually consists of leggings, a scarf, and some sort of long sweater or cardigan. I hate buying maternity clothes, they are so expensive and I plan to never be in them again. Needless to say, I spent the last few weeks in the same clothes that still fit and I plan to upgrade my wardrobe as soon as I shed this baby weight!
Here I am between weeks 30 - 38 with all 3 pregnancies.

Here is a quick week to week update with all 3.
Baby Girl
Week 27 - Major cramping started.
Week 29 - Doctors apt - weight 127.8, head down.
Week 30 - Running out of meds and doctor in States won't refill because I haven't seen her since 12 weeks and she is not delivering me. If I don't take my pill at night I wake up in the morning nauseous.
Week 31 - Doctor apt - Weight 130. No new changes, cramping has gotten better. I finally ordered something monogrammed - so maybe that means her name is official now? Still unsure about the middle name.
Week 33.5 - Doctor apt. Weight 134. Bought a heating bad because my back has been killing me. The nausea had gotten better from week 31 until now, but seems to be coming back. Threw up 2 times yesterday and just felt horrible all day.
Week 34 & 35 - Packing, packing, and more packing. Listing, listing and more listing. Planning, planning and more planning. These past 2 weeks we have been getting ready for baby girl as much as possible. Packing hospital bags for me, and putting a bag together for both Reagan and Grayson. They both have clothes packed for 2 days, Reagan has arts and crafts, snacks, cards and things to do at the hospital. Grayson will be at school during the days (as long as I go into labor during the week) but he has clothes, diapers, wipes, and a juice cup.
Week 36 - Doctor's appointment, everything the same. They don't do much checking here, only urine, blood pressure, weight and fungal height. No checking of dilation or effaced. Weight 136. (Nov 28th, lots of cramping and contractions in the middle of the night. If I didn't have the cramping in the earlier months I would have thought it was the night, but since I had them before I just waited it out.)
Week 38 - Not much going on. Doctor's appointment still weekly. Cramping on and off, but just the normal Braxtons. Weight - 138.8. This weekend I plan on walking until my feet fall off. Grayson gets out for Holiday the 20th, so she has until next Wednesday (the 19th) or else. I need him to be in school at least 1 of the days!
Week 39- No doctor appointment, closed for Christmas.
39 Weeks, 4 days - She's here! Hayden Noel, 7lbs 3 oz, 17 1/2 inches long

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 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 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!
