Pregnancy Update/ Baby Name Bracket Update

29 weeks Mackenzie                      28 weeks Baby #2

I found this picture of me at 29 weeks Pregnant with Mackenzie and I thought I would share a side by side to see the difference. 

How far along: 28 weeks

Gender: Girl!! 

Weight gain: 28 lbs. I lost 7 lbs this last month. The doctor kinda freaked. Then I told her we were on the Whole 30 and she was excited, said that is the best food for me and baby. She also measured my tummy and it's still growing so she knows the weight loss is me and not baby! Yay!

Maternity clothes: Yes, I did buy some non-maternity from LuLaRoe that I plan on featuring soon. So be watching for that!!

Stretch marks: I still have them but, I am putting on cream twice a day! Which reminds me... I need more. 

Belly button in or out: In although very shallow. HAHA

Sleep: With this diet I have noticed better sleep and a better schedule. I fall asleep so fast now! Wake up naturally and ready to go, also I don't feel the need for a nap. I still take some but, I don't NEED them.  

Best moment this week: Going back to part time and hanging out with Max!!!

Miss anything: Yes, Candy bars, milk, cheese, hot cocoa, pie, bread!! That's not due to pregnancy though, HAHA, it's this diet that I love/hate!!!

Cravings: See note above!!!!! I can add pizza, cheeseburgers, french fries (fried in bad fat!). 

Queasy or sick: No

Looking forward to: So much!!! Halloween which marks the end of the diet, our anniversary, we are getting awayish! The holidays, Black Friday. My list can go on!!!

We actually have completely narrowed down the name but, for now I will just give you the top 2. I haven't decided when I will reveal the name. I want it to be a fun post!

Points:

Kim: 72

Marnie: 65

Joel: 63

No longer able to get points:

Myk: 68

So, now some more good news. Since I have returned to part time that means I will return to a regular blogging schedule! The only problem is I am zapped for ideas, do you have any? As mentioned above I am doing one featuring new clothing from LuLaRoe, I have a makeup one, a dressing my bump, fall craft. I am planning on bringing back blogmas, to make up for all my hit and miss posts. Of course that isn't until Christmas, should I do 12 days again or 25? Let me know what you think in the comments!!

Talk to you soon,

How far along: 25 weeks ( I was a little off on the last update. This time I double checked and I am 25 weeks.)

Gender: Girl!! 

Weight gain: 30lbs! Wednesday starts Whole 30, I will blog more on why I am doing that later. 

Maternity clothes: Yes. I am on the hunt for holiday dresses!!

Stretch marks: I think the cream is working, or my belly is growing that I can't notice them as much anymore!! Haha!!

Belly button in or out: In (It never popped out last time, I don't think it will this time.)

Cravings: No 

Queasy or sick: No

Baby Name Update

Things are getting interesting in the Chamber's household. Mackenzie daily changes baby's name. Anna, Elsa (guess where those came from?), Casey (no clue). Here are mommy and daddy's name. Daddy does have a favorite, Mommy is still up in the air so we will see.

Baby Number 2: 16 weeks

First off I want to apologize for the bad photo. No more will I be taking selfies in the mirror. We moved in with my parents a couple of weeks ago, so from now on I plan on having my mom take the pictures. I just really wanted to get this post up and didn't want to wait for her to come home. After seeing the quality of the picture I have decided no more.

Also, this pic is a huge step for me to put up, I feel like I just look fat. No I am not fishing for compliments I am just baring my soul and being real. It bugs me that I look this big and I am only 16 weeks. Ok, rant and self pity over.

I will say the reason I know I feel gross is I still haven't been eating very good. So part of me wonders how big I would be if I did eat correctly. I am slowly getting back into working out (I plan on doing a post on my work outs in the near future), and have been working on getting my eating back on track. With that said here is my 16 week update.

How far along: 16 weeks

Gender: Don't know but we will find out Aug. 25th. Although, we are doing a reveal party so it might be a couple of weeks before I post the result.

Weight gain: 10 lbs. according to my last doctor appointment 3 weeks ago. I am currently at the weight I was when I got prego with Mackenzie.

Maternity clothes: Regular, although I am in my heavier set of clothing. Also, I am wearing nursing bras. They are so much more comfy.

Stretch marks: I had them from Mackenzie so I probably won't notice new ones. 

Belly button in or out: In

Sleep: All the time. I still need a daily nap although I am not as cranky if I miss it.

Best moment this week: Watching Mackenzie take care of her babies. I think she might be grasping the concept as much as a 2 year old can. She points to my belly and says baby. When asked, she says she wants a baby sister.

Miss anything: Breathing! I can definitely feel all my organs have moved up.
The top half of my stomach is hard. I get winded walking with my friend, which I never did before, or singing Mackenzie bed time lulluabies. Ugh!

Movement: None, hopefully soon though. Aren't you supposed to feel it sooner with baby 2? I need it, I keep forgetting I am prego. HAHA!!

Cravings: For awhile it was baked potatoes with bacon and cheese and sour cream. That has mostly subsided. Every now and then I want a super good burger or steak. No super strong cravings though.

Queasy or sick: No, thankfully!!

Looking forward to: Planning the baby reveal party and helping plan the baby sprinkle. I helped my mom and sis-in-law last time. Then I emceed the whole thing. HAHA! I am excited to do a smaller, more intimate one this time since I don't need as much stuff.

Thanks everyone for reading!!
