27 weeks

Here we are, it's Monday again and time for another weekly update! At least I'm good about doing these updates since my blog has TOTALLY taken the backseat lately...lots going on...growing a baby, Manuel just finished 1st grade on Friday, AND we're in the process of buying our first house (WOO HOOO!!!! :) so at least I have an excuse!
How far along: 27 weeks

Symptoms: nothing new...itchy skin, not sleeping well, peeing often (especially in the middle of the night), random backaches
Weight gain/loss: At my appointment last Wednesday I was up 2 lbs from last months appointment, for a total of 12 lbs total. Not too shabby! :)
Gender: Surprise baby!!! :) We found out with both Manuel and Mia, and since this will be our last child (I can't imagine a 4th c-section) we figured this one should be a surprise!

Maternity clothes? yes!

Sleep: definitely could be MUCH better! ;)
Food cravings/aversions: sushi...I wish I could have a California roll and a Pearl River roll right this second!!! :)

Movement? a ton!
What I miss? nothing really
Best moment(s) this week: celebrating Fathers Day with Manny...he is, hands down, one of the most amazing fathers on the planet! :) Oh, and I got to see Baby #3 at my appointment last Wednesday. My friend Kelli squeezed me in for a few pics. HOWEVER, Baby #3 was NOT cooperating for a 3D pic...it's just not meant to be! ;)
What I'm looking forward to: hitting my 3rd trimester

Next appointment: my next OB appt is 7/10/13, HOWEVER, I have more lab work to get done tomorrow morning at 8am...I just found out this morning that I failed my 1 hour glucose test, so tomorrow is the 3 hour one! :( I never had any issues at all with Manuel or Mia's glucose tests so this is all new to me. I'm not worried, I know it's all in God's hands! :)

And for good measure my 27 week bump

And yes, I swear I've only gained 12 lbs, although my bump may say otherwise! ;) (and my hand positioning is super weird too! Weekly bump pic fail! ;(

26 weeks

Happy Monday friends! I just realized that I never posted our vacay pics :( Hopefull soon! :) But on to my weekly update.

How far along: 26 weeks


Symptoms: continued itchy skin, lack of sleep and a broken out face, but ALL WORTH IT! :) Oh, and I had one of my first random pregnancy hormones outbursts yesterday...Manny and Manuel were at the pool. Mia and I were laying down upstairs, she was sleeping. I looked at her and just started crying thinking about how much I DON'T want our relationship to change once the baby comes. Mia and I are SO SO SO close (and Manny and Manuel are SO SO SO close) and I don't want anything to change that! I know this baby is such a welcomed blessing and Mia is going to be an awesome big sister (and Manuel will be an awesome big brother), however, I still want Mia to be my baby girl, no matter what, if Baby #3 is another little girl. I know that might sound crazy (that's why their called crazy prego hormones! ;) and my heart will just get bigger, but thinking this, and looking at her sleeping I just started to cry! :)

Weight gain/loss: I'll find out "officially" on Wednesday at my monthly appt but I'm pretty sure I'm up a total of 13 lbs total, up 3 lbs from my appt last month.

Gender: Surprise baby!!! :) We found out with both Manuel and Mia, and since this will be our last child (I can't imagine a 4th c-section) we figured this one should be a surprise!

Maternity clothes? yes!

Sleep: I was up FOUR times last night to pee. I haven't had a full nights sleep since before I found out I was prego, so I'm just saying sleep isn't going to happen for several more years! ;)

Food cravings/aversions: sushi, fruit and french fries (not together! ;))

Movement? A LOT! His/her movements are getting much more noticeable from the outside now

What I miss? laying on my stomach

Best moment(s) this week: lots of family time this past weekend (and lots of packing, not fun! ;(

What I'm looking forward to: hitting my 3rd trimester

Next appointment: Wednesday, June 12th

And for good measure my 26 week bump

Nothing says classy like a toilet in the picture! ;)

Wordless Wednesday (on a Tuesday, and I'm okay with it! ;)

Our 8th annual Gomez Family Old Time Photo! :)

*The last time we were Cowboys I was prego with Mia! :) Needless to say I've never been this far along in a pregnancy during our Old Time Photo, so they don't have a maternity option! ;) We alternate each year. We are moving soon and as I take down the pictures to pack them, I think I'm going to share them on here, through the years. It's really neat to see how much we change each year! :)

25 weeks

Just got back from a little getaway with my 3 (well 4 ;) favorite people. We went to Ocean City for the weekend as our "vacation" for the summer...with the baby coming, moving at the end of the month, etc. life is just too busy to take a full weeks vacation, so we crammed as much as we could into the weekend and had a blast! Yesterday was also my 32nd birthday so that was fun way to celebrate! :) I have a TON of pics to share, but for now, my weekly prego post...

How far along: 25 weeks


Symptoms: REALLY itchy skin but all in all, no complaints :)
Weight gain/loss: after having gained no weight since my last appointment (May 15th-I was holding steady at 8-9 lbs) HOWEVER after a weekend of eating "beach food" I'm scared to get on the scale. I'm going to guess I'm up a total of 10-11 lbs (HOPEFULLY, at the most! ;)

Gender: Surprise baby!!! :) We found out with both Manuel and Mia, and since this will be our last child (I can't imagine a 4th c-section) we figured this one should be a surprise!

Maternity clothes? yes!

Sleep: seemed to be getting better and than Saturday I got SO sunburnt on my legs :( and have been in SO much pain those my sleep is suffering. I'm hopeful that once it starts to heal, I'll be back to only getting up once or twice. We shall see :)
Food cravings/aversions: seafood! (especially after being around so many seafood restaurants at the beach!) I could eat seafood all day, everyday! (of course I wouldn't because of the mercury, but I would if I could! :)

Movement? A LOT! His/her movements are getting much more noticeable from the outside now
What I miss?  a solid nights sleep

Best moment(s) this week: getting to spend some quality time with my hubby and kiddos at the beach
What I'm looking forward to: moving (staying local but there are some fun "potentials" on the horizon that I plan on sharing once everything is signed, sealed and delivered! ;)
Next appointment: June 12th...and my glucose test! Yippy! ;)

And for good measure my 25 week bump

Wordless Wednesday

Baby Bump...24weeks 3 days :) (I know I'm wayyyyyyyyy late to the "party" but I love Instagram and my iphone! :))

Happy Wednesday everyone! :)

24 weeks

Hi friends! I hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend! Although the weather was WAYYYYYYYYYY cooler than last year the kids insisted upon swimming in the FREEZING pool! :) We had a cookout on Sunday and relaxed on Monday. We have A LOT going on in the Gomez household, so life has been crazy BUT I keep telling myself something I saw on Facebook, "Too blessed to be stressed!" even though life is going through a "whirlwind" phase right now and everything is happening at once, it's all amazing things so I just need to calm down, chill out and realize how blessed we are! :) Now, on to the update...

How far along: 24 weeks

Symptoms: tired...I have a feeling that this is just how my pregnancy is going to be. I mean I need to give myself some credit, I work full-time, I have a 7 year old and a 3 year old to take care (and hubby steps up A LOT!) and I'm older now! ;) *same as last week! ;)

Weight gain/loss: holding steady at 8-9 lbs gained total

Gender: Surprise baby!!! :) We found out with both Manuel and Mia, and since this will be our last child (I can't imagine a 4th c-section) we figured this one should be a surprise!

Maternity clothes? yes!

Sleep: seems to be getting a TAD better...some nights I only wake up once to pee, WOO HOOO! :) BUT, the random leg cramps and round ligament pain has started too, so you win some, you lose some! :)
Food cravings/aversions: nothing really...I always want sushi (cooked)

Movement? all the time. I love it!

What I miss? A FULL nights sleep

Best moment(s) this week: on Monday (5/20/13) Manny felt the baby move for the first time. It was a very special moment! :)
What I'm looking forward to: our trip to the beach on Friday through Sunday (my bday! :))
Next appointment: June 12th...and my glucose test! Yippy! ;)

And for good measure my 24 week (almost, I took this a few days before my 24 week mark) bump

I'm on Instagram now!!!!!!!!!!! (yep, I got my free upgrade on my Verizon account and got an iphone...welcome 21st century! ;) Find me because I really don't know how it works "tinasimp3" is my name :) 

23 weeks

Happy Monday Ya'll (I always wanted a Southern accent! ;)) I hope everyone had a great weekend! It was a very busy weekend around our house, and I have pictures to share, but that'll have to wait. I just wanted to post my weekly update ON TIME this week! :)

How far along: 23 weeks


Symptoms: tired...I have a feeling that this is just how my pregnancy is going to be. I mean I need to give myself some credit, I work full-time, I have a 7 year old and a 3 year old to take care (and hubby steps up A LOT!) and I'm older now! ;)
Weight gain/loss: So yes, I went to my OB appt last Wednesday I have officially gained 9 lbs! This is 100% in the normal range for someone who started their pregnancy "overweight" according to the BMI scare, so I'm fine with it, it was just the "jump" that I didn't like! :) My doctor assured me all is well, but still! :)
Gender: Surprise baby!!! :) We found out with both Manuel and Mia, and since this will be our last child (I can't imagine a 4th c-section) we figured this one should be a surprise!

Maternity clothes? for the most part, just for comfort sake. I could squeeze into my pre-prego maternity pants, but why? ;)

Sleep: It could be better! :) I get up at least 2 times a night to pee. I try to limit my water intake after a certain time, but I can't help it. If I'm thirsty, I'm thirsty! :)
Food cravings/aversions: I really want sushi (cooked, of course! Prego or not, I only eat cooked sushi! :)) and steamed crabs. Maryland is known for their steamed crabs and this time of year it's just a necessity!
Movement? a lot! It was funny the other day the kids were bickering and the baby was moving like crazy! To think that he/she will be involved one day brings a smile to my face! :)

What I miss? A FULL nights sleep
Best moment(s) this week: after an emergency trip to Labor and Delivery on Thursday, the best moment was definitely finding out that everything was fine with Baby G! It was a very scary few hours!
What I'm looking forward to: our mini-vacay at the end of the month. Since we are moving next month and you know, having a baby ;) we aren't taking a week long beach trip this year. So instead we are heading down for a few days just to enjoy the beach, eats lots of yummy food AND of course, get our annual Old Time Photo! :)
Next appointment: June 12th...and my glucose test! Yippy! ;)

And here is my 23 week bump! :) (and a very dirty mirror! ;)
