21 and 23 weeks

Where to start..... Oh yea weight gain....:| so far I have gained 21lbs!!!!!:O wth!! My doctor did not seem concerned at all.... She said that during 5-6mths is when I will gain the most.... I'm scared:( when I mentioned this to Oni is was confused.... He even admitted "I don't see you eat alot" and I don't.... Not like some other pregnant women. I eat my breakfast which is normally cereal with 1% milk and I have fruit and yogurt for snacks. I think the reason for the big weight gain is due to not wking out like I use to AND not being on a "diet". I can gain weight QUICKLY if I'm not careful but all I can do is continue to walk everyday for 30min and eat healthy and in moderation.

Oh... Did I mention I'm getting Braxton hicks? Yup she said the more pregnancies you have the sooner you'll feel things.... No wonder when it happens I stop what I'm doing and just breath it's sooooo uncomfortable!!! I wasnt able to load a picture through my phone soo this post has been waiting patiently for me to post it!! SORRY!

HERES A PICTURE OF ME AT 21 WEEKS:





I personally feel BIG but others say I dont, my sister tells me Im small compared to the grls because "Your not as fat as you were when you got pregnant with them..." WHAT!? LOL ok true but still I have a basket ball in my tummy.


I didnt take a picture when I was 22weeks I forgot =( BUT I did remember my 23 week =)




So far Im feeling good.........still getting the tumyy tightening =( and its uncomfortable to lay down so now I have 2 body pillow one in front the second on my back. Also I notice when I sit down it takes me a tad longer to get up especially from my couch and bed =I umm yea sad right?! haha...Im eating good and drinking tons of water and hes ACTIVE!!!!!!!! He loves to kick and move I started to feel him roll a little more like if hes swimming and doing little flips I know soon he wont be able to do that alot...hes growing alot hes about as long as an ear of corn and about a pound or a little more. =) awww my little corn on the cob <3

5 months and more pixs

I turned 5 months last week........I know Im late in posting but its been sooooooooooooooo HOT! lol this is me at 5months and also the picture of our baby boy's ultrasound =)

Its been wonderful so far... The heat has really gotten to me though my ankles have been extremly swollen and Im super bloated. I have cankles! haha Its been super hard to sleep at night I toss and turn and it takes time for me to be in deep sleep and by the time I actually fall asleep its time to wake up =( you can say I have been napping alot at work on my breaks. The baby has been more active and loves to kick me and just let me know hes there the familys response has been AMAZING towards him...more and more I hear that Im really popping out. I feel like I have a big ol basket ball in my tummy haha. My mom and I have started getting things ready for the baby shower little by little were getting items well need like decorations, its so exciting. You know what is soooo funny?? I CANT SEE MY TOES!!!! I can barely tie my shoes haha I have to sortof place my ankle on my thigh not sure if I make any sense? I still walk for 30min on my breaks but by the time I come back my feet ache my hands are swollen and my ankles start swelling also... water has been a total must but I feel like its never enough come on I drink 60oz of water! Im counting down the months until our little man is here....4more!! Its been so quick! I feel like I just wrote down that we found out were pregnant!!

Thanks for reading! =)

It's a .....

Ok ok so I'm late on telling u I'm sure u already know! It a boy!!!! Let me start from the morning of...

Wednesday morning I had an appointment for my ultrasound.. It was me Gena and Oni (akira was at her dads but she made it clear she wished she could be there:(...) I have been really excited and nervous for this day it felt like it was taking FOREVER to get here!! I knew we would need to leave early so I rushed everyone to get up and get going (ofcourse we ate) and I realized I needed to drink tons of water or else I would be rescheduled :( so we went to 7eleven and I got a big ol bottled water and drank mostly all of it , man by the time we got there I sooooo needed to use the restroom!!

I got called in for my ultrasound but prior to that I got a bunch of txts asking if I knew yet!!:) awww ppl from work my sister and my friends were all waiting for me to tell them... Well we walked in the tech cked all if the babys body his heart head limbs and so on... I was amazed I can literally see in details his little hands and feet!!! At one point it was so precious I saw his feet together and they looked perfect.. It's like u were looking at his bottom of his feet and it was detailed:*) his hands and arms looked long to me and he moves ALOT I only feel a few kicks but he was literally moving like he was all hyper...

When she was finally able to tell me what were having she aid " Oh it's a boy" me and Oni both gasped!! I told her "ok don't tease me please make sure please" I'm not going to lie... I started crying..then she turns and says Oh yea this is a boy look!! Omg!! His butt was on the screen (she froze the pix for us to see and she printed it out) and we saw his little long legs and there it was... A boy:*) I couldn't help but tear up more Gena gave Oni a hug and said " now u have ur boy daddy"!! See before we got there she told us she wanted a brother so her daddy can have his baby... In her mind she's my and her gandmas (both) baby because she's a girl and her daddys needed a boy so he can have his baby...:) so she was happy to hear she's having a brother...

Once we were done we debated and decided NOT to tell our parents until we see them that day we bought a picture frame for both so we put the babys ultrasound (his profile not the proof it's a boy lol) and on the bottom it said " it's a boy" oh man once we got in the car his mom called asking what were having..... She wasn't happy when he said shell have to wait even my mom called me a "sangrona" she's been waitng for my call at work since 11 and said even ppl at her work were wanting to know!(I use to work there also) but it was worth the wait when we told my mom (she was told first) she beamed and hugged us both she's so happy for us:) see she knew we wanted another baby so he's planned out and they were all prepared the Grls were more unplanned blessings... hell be soo loved and spoiled I soo can already tell!! My mother inlaw was next.... She cried... My father inlaw was in total shock.... He wanted us to also have a boy...

Akira came home on Friday and when I told her she was excites she has a brother from her dads but she say this one she knows will shave better!!! Hahaha.... Both the Grls can't stop talking to my belly and even say good morning and goodnight to him.. He's not even here yet and he's soooooo loved<3 I can't wait to meet him.... his name has been picked out for a while now... It's not different or unique like the girls and our names.... He's named after 2 extremly special ppl in our lives... Ppl who have made a difference and are held dear in our hearts... But it's a secret until he's born... If u already know it it's because I trust u and know you'll keep it hush hush lol.... Thanks for reading!!!

18 and 19 weeks

Lately I feel like Im blowing up....I can feel my tummy growing....it sounds weird I know. Last night I had major insomnia.......it was awful... I went to bed at 10pm and was awake...I couldnt get into a deep enough sleep=( Maybe it was because I napped for 2hrs from 5-7 never again will I be napping so late. I mentioned before about my lack of appetite...well its still there. This weekend Oni bought me some L&L which I love but ate like 1 1/2 pieces of chicken and a few bites of rice and macaroni salad and was done... looked like I didnt even touch it..that day I ate 2 times and honestly felt ok. I started snacking more often even though Im not hungry and so far its ok but I need to admit its hard to gulp..I feel sick eating when I am not hungry but I do it for the baby, I have lost about 2lbs which Im sure I will gain back before my next appt.

Tomorrow we will find out what we are having !! Im soo excited ppl keep asking me what I want..honestly I want a little boy..BUT a little princess would be awesome also.....Oni and I have been wanting this baby for a while now so what ever God gives me is still a blessing..I feel it move everyday! Mainly at night oh man! Last night he/she was having a little party! haha Everyone has their opinion as to what we are having many say boy....some say girl...someone will be proved wrong tomorrow IF the baby lets us see =) Soooooooooo I will post tomorrow and let u know! =)
