• How's morning sickness treating you? it hates me with a passion lately
• How go those crazy pregnancy hormonal emotions? eehhh they come they go sometimes I wish they'd stay gone but I cry very easily late :( totally buzz kill!
• Do you still fit into your socks, sneakers, clothing & jewelry? sneakers & socks when I first put them on & within half hour my feet have swollen up & hurt, clothing... gotta get some bigger jeans and nothing that is tight fitting in the arms.... jewelry is touch & go  
• Do you feel the baby move? all the time... he's a hyper active little one but when I eat something he really likes he really moves, same goes for music or when I watch t.v.
• How big is the baby? According to WHAT TO EXPECT (iPhone App) the baby is the size of a head of Cauliflower about 16inches long and 2.5lbs in weight! (holy wow)  According to BABY CENTER (iPhone App) the baby is the size of a head of Cauliflower about 14.5inches long and 2lbs in weight (well this week we have the same reference but they say the weight is a .5lb difference and the length is a good 1.5inches in difference... hmmm I will know hopefully for sure when I find out when we schedule my next ultrasound)

3. Did you gain, loose or stay the same? I gained about 1lb
4. How's your sleeping habits? Wow, that's a funny question that seriously makes me yawn... lmfao and honestly I haven't been sleeping much at all... between getting comfy, a belly that's making everything hard and getting up to pee every twenty minutes
5. When's your next OB-GYN appointment? September 17th, 2012 at 10:30am with Dr. Patton

11. How big is the baby inside your uterus? According to What to Expect iPhone app the baby is as big as an Eggplant (9.2inches and 2lbs) and According to Baby Center iPhone app the baby weighs about 1 2/3lbs and measures 14inches the size of a English Hothouse Cucumber... those two sites have two very different thoughts at this stage... lol

Well let's see what happens between now and next week... I can honestly say I've got a list of notices and questions for my OBGYN ... hopefully all get answers

Seriously can't believe in 98 days we will hit my due date! I wonder if I'm gonna come early, on time or late... Connor came on his own time at 36weeks and 5 days pregnant... Sean came three days early with me in so much pain I hadn't slept in 2 days straight and wasn't eating so they had me come in... and Kayden well between constant Braxton Hicks Contractions that come when I work too much, when I stress to much I have a feeling that I'm gonna come before my due date...

Any notes you want to share with us about your pregnancy? I have a few questions to ask my OBGYN ... do make sure it's the baby growing and not signs that I could go into early labor... I've sworn I've gone threw some braxton hicks contractions (not the highlight of any pregnant mothers dreams... lol...) But there are a few others too.

     Wow, can't believe that in what 17 weeks it will be my due date, I ain't sure if Kayden's gonna wanna wait that long though since he's been very active lately, making me get sleep to a maxim of none. I'm excited yet nervous about going on vacation while being pregnant... it's okay to be a few states away and closer to home rather than 8 hours away and being pregnant... but theirs been no real complication for me to have concern except the placenta previa that was mentioned but I've heard nothing more about... that's a constant downer in the back of my mind. My belly's getting bigger, I can look down and see it and not my feet, which is pretty cool. My legs tend to hurt more and my lower back seems to bother me more than ever. I've noticed that when I walk fast, run or move in just right I'm placing my hand under my tiny belly so that I can move with out falling and helps relieve the pressure that I feel... The lovely braxton hicks contractions I've felt are about once a week towards the end of the week when I think my stress level is gonna drop and then spikes or if I had a really stressful day I wind up having them... another concern... better not deliver this baby in the south I'd be very upset... and worried... since I'd have to buy baby cloths, and a car-seat since I'm not bringing any... and I'd be wicked early... like super duper early... 

I had Sean 3 days before his due date, not a big deal he was so considered full-term, yet Connor was 1month before his due date and 2 days before 37weeks so he wasn't full-term but he was doing amazing ... Sean was 8lbs 4 1/4ozs and Connor was 5lbs 13.5ozs ... kinda wonder what Kayden's gonna way. I'm so ready for this pregnancy to be near the end and stuff... I'd love to see my feet, have less migraines, have less back pains and all that jazz... Gotta say other than the pain and stuff this pregnancy has been by far smooth... no ER visits which amazes me since with Sean I went a few times and with Connor I went a few times ... with this baby I've gone for tooth related issues but not pregnancy issues... yet the ER sucks for pregnant women... I'd rather wait it out call the OBGYN and ask to be seen in their office or at the CDH Childbirth center...

-I've def. been enjoying feeling this little guy move around, until he kicks me in the bladder... then he's just being mean... I've got concerns that I'm not growing enough for him to get big enough... yet he seems to be doing fine. All have more concerns when I feel him kick more or kick a whole lot less. 

Well all see you all later on... all try to post some baby bump pictures, all try to update while on vacation if not see you towards the end of the month.

♥About your PREGNANCY♥

Is this your first pregnancy: no, my third

When did you find out you were pregnant: April 1st, 2012

Was it planned: actually it wasn't 

What was your first reaction: uhm yeah this test lies, were's the box I need another stick!

Who was with you when you first found out: well no one, but people were in my house

Who was the first person you told: my hubby, katie, katelin, and my mother ... then after a few days Sarah (I knew she was trying I didn't want her to get mad or upset with me...)

How far along are you: I'm 22weeks and 5days pregnant

Do you know the sex of the baby:  yes

Do you have names picked out: yes

If so, what are they: well since I know the sex of the baby his name is Kayden Lucas

How much weight have you gained: to be perfectly honest I haven't weighed myself today but a few days ago I was down 3lbs :( ooops!

Have you felt the baby move: yes, he loves to dance

Have you heard the baby's heartbeat: yes... it's an amazing sound

♥About the BIRTH♥

Will you keep the baby: of course, I wouldn't have gone this far in this pregnancy to just walk away

Home or Hospital birth: HOSPITAL

Natural or Medicated birth: MEDICATED (I've had to prior pregnancies and both were medicated)

Who will be in the delivery room with you: my husband (hopefully), my mother, my sister Katie, my sister Crystal (hopefully) and if she's up to it Sarah (but she's due a month after me-that's if I come one time)

Will you breastfeed: depends on my situation, if he comes early then yes, if he's on time then most likely not... I tend not to produce enough milk :( 

Do you think you'll need a C-Section: only if they tell me I need another ultrasound at 28weeks then again further and my placenta previa hasn't migrated upwards and is still low to the cervix which then sticks my butt on bed rest and no sexual activity 

Will you cry the first thing when you hold the baby for the first time: to be honest I didn't cry with the last two ... I was to keyed in on some of the comments the delivery staff was making (with my first ... I heard "Am I doing this right?" and with my second he was a month early so he went straight to the doctors for his examination

Would you let someone videotape the birth: heck no, plus CDH doesn't allow it :D ahhh 

Are you EXCITED or SCARED about birth: to be honest, the feelings mutual right now, if it's a c-section then scared, and if not then it really won't be all that different then the last two :D either way I'm excited to meet this little guy!
