I’ve Upgraded to Green Olive Status! {9 week Update}

I am happy to announce that #3 is now the size of a green olive (that is an upgrade from raspberry status that I went to bed at!)

This is our first official “update” post. I wanted to wait until our first doctor appointment and until we had a due date.

Our first appointment was on Wednesday, and today we are 9 weeks along! Our due date is March 3, 2013. Due to Buddy being a c-section, #3 will be a scheduled c-section as well. I was informed they schedule the c-sections for 39 weeks, but I’m hoping to push it out a few days until February 27th (Buggy is December 27 and Buddy is April 27). Yes. I’m weird that way!

Besides feeling tired (really tired) and the hunger every 3-4 hours and the getting up to pee at least once a night (that I know will only get worse), I’m doing great!

I have never had morning sickness with my first two and so far (knock on wood) I have not had any with #3.

The kids are thrilled and constantly ask about the baby. Buggy wants it to be a girl and Buddy wants it to be a boy. I guess I should say he is adamant that it is a boy and is not satisfied if it is anything but. Neither of them quite understand that it will be quite awhile before #3 joins the family physically, but they love seeing the weekly update pictures on my app.

I have started stocking up on cloth diapers (no one every told me how addicting they are!) and have been doing research for a good baby wearing apparatus.

We are all looking forward to this exciting adventure and I can’t wait to share it all with you! I didn’t start blogging until last year, well past the pregnancy stage so I’m excited to share my journey!

  1. I can’t say much about cloth diapers so I’ll skip that part. As for baby wearing, I LOVED LOVED LOVED my Moby Wrap. Many people complain that it is too difficult to figure out but I swear, once you get the wrap down, adding the baby in whatever position is so easy and comfortable! Can’t wait to hear all about your updates.

  2. First congrats! Second…yes cloth diapering can be addictive. I now have enough to diaper two babies and only have one! Hoping to have number 2 on the way soon, but have to wait and find out! Hoping it happens soon! :)

    As for a great carry….I LOVE both my Beco’s. I have the Gemini and Butterfly II. Love them both for different reasons, but my favorite is probably the Gemini as I really love doing a hip carry occasionally. It will do front, hip and back and if you want can do a front forward carry, but I don’t recommend that for a very long period of time.

    • Thank you! And thanks for the baby carrier tips! That’s great!

      I currently have 8 or 9 cloth diapers and the only reason I don’t have more is because I promised hubby I would only purchase a few at a time (of course, after I purchased the 8-9 in 48 hours! LOL) What are your favorite cloth diaper brands and type (ie: kawaii, pocket, etc)?

  3. I just love pregnancy. It is such a great time to bond, promote positivism and wellness and just shine. I love following along! I hope the tiredness goes away soon.
