Baby Brittain Bump Pictures

Well I totally fell off the band wagon again! :) Emerson is here and doing amazingly well. I wanted to make sure that I added the rest of my bump pictures so that I will always have them! I left off at 30 weeks so here we go...

Overall, I had a great pregnancy with Emerson. She was a week late and I completely regret not getting a 40 and a 41 week bump picture, but at the time I was so miserably I just didn't even think about it. I missed a few other weeks but, I am so glad that I got the ones that I did! Hopefully I will be able to blog more about her than I did with my pregnancy! :)

Baby Brittain Bumpdate: Week 30

How far along: 30 Weeks

Size of baby: According to the bump.com she is the size of a cucumber. I don't really understand how they pick these veggies. Sometimes the veggie seems bigger during earlier weeks. Oh well...

Gender: It's a Girl! Emerson Ryan Brittain

Total weight gain: I went to the doctor last Wednesday, and I had gained back the 8 pounds I lost plus about 7 pounds. Not too bad so far! :)

Movement: Yes! She moves around a lot! It is crazy to see my stomach making waves when she is moving.

Sleep: Sleeping is starting to get hard. I really want to sleep on my stomach, but I can't. It is also pretty uncomfortable on my side because when I lay on my side she squirms like there is no tomorrow. Maybe I am squishing her! :(

What I miss: I don't really miss anything. We did go to the beach this week and it was hard not being able to do as much as I used to without my feet swelling!

Cravings: I don't think I really have any cravings. I thoroughly enjoy sweets, but I enjoyed them before I got pregnant too! The only thing I would say is a craving would be cereal. I could probably eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I am also not a big fan of meat right now. It just does not taste right to me.

Symptoms: I have had some headaches and some swelling. The swelling was pretty bad at the beach and whenever I get in the car!

Maternity clothes: I am still wearing my normal clothes besides the jeans. I have a few maternity shirts, but for the most part just wearing normal clothes. I am kind of regretting not buying any maternity shorts and now that school is about to start back there are non left in the store. It is all winter clothes! I am starting to run out of shirts that are long enough. I want to look cute, but I really hate spending money on clothes I will only be wearing for a few more months!!

Best moments this week: Getting her monogram painted for her room! And looking at that sweet face all day!

Baby Brittain Bumpdate: Weeks 26-29

As always I am running behind! I am proud of myself for at least taking a picture each week. For the most part, I have been feeling great! I am finally in the 3rd trimester and so far so good. The only symptoms I have had the past couple of weeks are headaches and occasional swelling. Other than that I really am feeling great.

During week 28, we went and got a 3d sonogram. It was so much fun! She is so precious and it made me want to meet her even more. I will admit that I was a little worried about what she would look like. I just couldn't imagine what a person would look like mixed between me and Jerry, but she is so cute I just can't get over it! I am actually 30 weeks today, but I am going to do a post on that by itself because it feels like a major mile stone! That and the fact there is no one here to take my picture yet! :) 

Baby Brittain Bumpdate

Well I have said it over and over again and it looks like I will be saying it again today. I am terrible at keeping this thing updated! The last month has been very busy! I am finally done with school and summer school so I feel like I will have time to keep this thing updated. Before I got pregnant I said that I would always keep an update on how my pregnancy is each week so that I could have it to look back on. Yeah not so much. I never thought that I would be as sick as I was and that took away all desire to do a weekly pregnancy post. ALL of my spare time was spent either in the bathroom, couch, or in bed! I am soo happy that I can say I am now past the morning sickness stage and I actually feel pretty good! I did try to at least get a picture every week. I have missed two weeks so far and while that bugs me, I have also come to terms with it. So here are my bump pics from weeks 20-25. I am not even going to pretend that I remember everything from weeks 20-24 so I am just going to update on week 25!

I missed week 21! :( 

How far along: 25 Weeks

Size of baby: According to the bump.com she is the size of a cauliflower!

Gender: It's a Girl! Emerson Ryan Brittain

Total weight gain: I went to the doctor last Wednesday, and I had gained back the 8 pounds I lost plus about 4 pounds. Not too bad so far! :)

Movement: Yes! She moves around a lot! She is especially active at night which I hope that does not mean she will be awake all night when she comes out!

Sleep: Sleeping great! Can't get enough of it! I usually have to get up once a night and go to the bathroom, but I don't think that is that bad!

What I miss: Nothing really. I miss being able to walk around for a couple of hours and not feel so tired and crampy. Other than that, I am just soooo thankful that I am not sick anymore!

Cravings: I don't think I really have any cravings. I thoroughly enjoy sweets, but I enjoyed them before I got pregnant too! I did have the little chocolate donuts 4 days in a row for breakfast if you want to call that a craving!

Symptoms: Occasional tingling in my hands when I am sleeping, a little bit of swelling in my feet at the end of the day.

Maternity clothes: Everything in the pictures above are my normal clothes besides the jeans. I have a few maternity shirts, but for the most part just wearing normal clothes. I am starting to run out of shirts that are long enough. I want to look cute, but I really hate spending money on clothes I will only be wearing for a few more months!!

Best moments this week: Hearing her heartbeat at my doctor's appointment! And getting a lot done in her room! It is going to be adorable!

Baby Brittain Bumpdate: Week 18 & 19

Well I said that I wasn't going to let myself get behind on blogging. I guess I lied. This pregnancy thing does not mess around! :) I think I will be able to keep up with blogging more when I am out of school for the summer! I am also a little annoyed with myself because I didn't get a 17 week picture! Oh well! Here we go with 18 and 19 weeks! 

18 Weeks

How far along: 18 Weeks (I look like a major dork in this photo:)

 Size of baby: It seems like everybody says something different, but the bump.com says sweet potato!

 Gender: It's a Girl! Emerson Ryan

Total weight gain: None yet. Morning sickness still has me down about 7 pounds.

Movement: Yes! Well I think! I feel light little taps and flutters. It is an amazing/weird feeling!

 Sleep: Sleeping great! Can't get enough of it! I usually have to get up once a night and go to the bathroom, but I don't think that is that bad!

What I miss: Not getting sick and not getting so tired so easily! I know this will pass and I know this is just part of the experience!

Cravings: None yet. Just welcoming any food that stays down! :)

Symptoms: I am finally down to just morning sickness! It is amazing how good it feels to not get sick at night! I am also having some headaches, and tingling of my hands and legs.

 Maternity clothes: I finally broke down and bought some maternity Capri's from Pea in the Pod. They are really cute and they were 20$ off plus if you donated to march of dimes you got 10% off.

 Best moments this week: Feeling little girl move! :)

19 Weeks

How far along: 19 Weeks

 Size of baby: Mango!


 Gender: It's a Girl! Emerson Ryan

What I miss: I am feeling pretty good this week! So, I am going to go ahead and say Nothing!


Cravings: I don't really have any cravings. Food still just doesn't sound that good to me. If I were to consider it a craving, I am enjoying pop tarts, fruit, and anything salty!

Symptoms: Still getting sick in the morning from time to time, but coming from 3-4 times a day 3 times a week is not that bad! I am also having tingling in my hands at night!


 Maternity clothes: I am mainly still wearing my normal clothes! Dresses and most shirts still fit. I have to wear the Belly Band with my work pants and normal jeans. I am also noticing that I am not a fan of the Belly Band. It feels weird and like it is always rolling down my body! ha!


 Best moments this week: Feeling little girl move! :) and feeling like a human again with a little more energy!

Baby Brittain Bumpdates Weeks 14-16

I am still pretty bad about blogging regularly. I want to make it a habit, but I am so busy throughout the week that usually I just come home and relax and hang out with Jerry. I do want to document everything through this pregnancy, so I am going to start doing weekly bumpdates. Hopefully, I will actually update weekly and not every 3 weeks like I am about to do! :) Before we get started there is one thing that I have noticed from doing these weekly pictures. I have EXTREMELY red skin and my blush makes it worse. I am going to blame my blush choice on my sister Caitlin who conned me in to buying it! :) Anyways...Moving on!
