Hello Third Trimester!

Well we've made it to the third trimester! YAY! Honestly, when we first found out about the funneling and my shortened cervix, I didn't think we'd make it this far. I felt so sure that the NICU was in our future if I was able to get to 23 weeks. Thankfully, Baby Joey is still cooking like he should be and things feel good(:  28 Weeks//22 Weeks How far along? 28 weeks, 5 days. How big is peanut? According to my app, the size of a head of cauliflower. WHOA! (I plan on asking at our next appointment how big he is exactly) Total weight gain/loss? At my last check-up a couple weeks ago, I believe I weighed in at 165 lbs. Putting me at a total weight gain of about 10 lbs. As you can see in the pic above, I'm mostly belly. I honestly thought I was going to explode and get chubbier everywhere.  Maternity clothes? Yes and no. I have a couple maternity shirts I wear. But since I've been on bed rest, I usually wear sweats or pajamas and a few of my normal

Update & Baby Registries

Hello(: Quick Update: Early June, it seemed that my cervix started to shorten a little bit so I ended up getting a cerclage. For those who do not know what a cerclage is, it is a stitch that goes into the cervix to help keep it closed. My follow-up appointment after the surgery was well. Though I am still on bed rest until I'm 36 weeks (for now). I'm now 26 weeks and 5 days (almost in the third trimester, YAY!). So far, everything seems to be going well. Haven't had any weird pains and Baby Joey's still baking. Our next appointment with the specialist is in a couple weeks. Our little one's due date is about 3 months away. For anyone who is curious, we are currently registered at both Target and BabiesRus (registry number: 57998022). Only thing I didn't include is clothing and diapers. At least with clothing, since it's still pretty early and clothing gets switched out every once in awhile =P Well that's it for now. Thanks for stopping by..until nex
