Baby Jones Update - Week 39 Baby jones | lifestyle | pregnancy | pregnant | update | week 39 | whenflowersfall

How far along? 39 Weeks

Total weight gain: I've not gained or lost anything this week, so I'm still sitting at roughly 25lbs gain. 

Maternity clothes? Nope. I'm refusing to buy anything new now. 

Stretch marks? Liam described them as angry today. I guess they are a little angry. The lower he gets the redder they get. The only thing that's bothering me about them is the itchiness. 

Best moment this week: I can't really think of anything but seeing his little profile on the scan last week. This week has been really uneventful. 

Miss anything? Being able to eat what I like without worrying about heartburn. He may have dropped really low, but heartburn is insane at the minute. Whole milk is my only friend. 

Movement: Yup! I'm sure he's trying to break a rib before he comes out.

Food cravings: I'm really thirsty at the minute, but I think that may just be down to the weather. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Just the usual cat or dog poop. 

Gender: Boy! I'm getting really paranoid that he's gonna come out a girl now though. 

Labor signs: A few braxton hicks, and I felt really sick and crampy a few nights ago, but it didn't come to anything.

Symptoms: Tiredness, and intense heartburn!

Belly button in or out? Out!

Engagement ring on or off? Off.

Happy or moody most of the time:  Happy, but impatient! I've been a bit emotional this week because I'm bored of waiting now. 

Looking forward to: If I go overdue, I'm looking forward to my midwife appointment at 40+3. I'm hoping she'll suggest a sweep to try and get things moving.

Baby Jones Update - Week 34 Baby jones | lifestyle | pregnancy | pregnant | update | whenflowersfall

How far along? 34 weeks. 

Total weight gain: 21lbs. This seems to be my new plateau. It's definitely not effecting the babies growth though. Fundal height this week measured at 36 weeks. 

Maternity clothes? Nope. I'm refusing to buy anything new now. I'm totally focused on my postpartum wardrobe! 

Stretch marks? YES! NEW ONES! I noticed that my tattoo felt a little funny and there it was, a little stretch mark running through one of my paw prints. It looks a little sad now. I also have another tiny one on the other side of my belly which I'm expecting to get much bigger. 

Best moment this week: Hearing Scout's heartbeat at our midwife appointment. It's the best noise ever. My midwife had just felt how low his head was and it was beating really fast from the poking. It took him a little while to calm down. 

Miss anything? Being comfortable. I've reached that point where I'm uncomfortable a lot of the time. 

Movement: Lots. I've noticed it more after our appointment too. I think he's definitely running out of space in there. 

Food cravings: I was craving meat at the beginning of the week, but I've also found that I just want anything that I see a picture of. Instagram is my enemy at the minute. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: I think bad smells are always going to be an issue for me.

Gender: Boy! 

Labor signs: Nope. I have had a good few tightenings again this week though. 

Symptoms: Pure hunger, all the time, and aching all the time.

Belly button in or out? Out a lot of the time now! 

Engagement ring on or off? Off.

Happy or moody most of the time: Mood swings have made a comeback. 

Looking forward to: My next midwife appointment. It'll be the appointment we get to talk about our birth choices. I'm so excited.

Baby Jones Update - Week 33 Baby jones | baby update | lifestyle | pregnancy | pregnant | whenflowersfall

How far along? 33 weeks. 

Total weight gain: 21lbs. I seem to have finally gotten over that 20 mark. 

Maternity clothes? Nope, but my maternity leggings are finally dying. Eeek! I'm wondering if I can make them last another 7 weeks. 

Stretch marks? Still my hip ones. I thought I saw a couple on my belly the other day, it turned out I'd just slept on wrinkly sheets. 

Best moment this week: Having our last scan and finding out that he's weighing 4lbs 14oz already! 

Miss anything? I can't really bend down and reach the floor anymore. I'm now having to do the ever classy squatting. 

Movement: Lots. I think he's discovered the fact that he can move his legs and I've seen his knees a couple of times. 

Food cravings: I'm back to craving meat. Gimme all the steak and burgers!!!

Anything making you queasy or sick: I think bad smells are always going to be an issue for me.

Gender: Boy! 

Labor signs: Nope.

Symptoms: Does starting to feel like a whale count? The water retention and puffiness has begun to appear. 

Belly button in or out? Out a lot of the time now! 

Engagement ring on or off? Off. It doesn't even go past my knuckle!

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy! My anxiety has been really good this week and not really an issue. 

Looking forward to: Seeing Liam's parents next week! We've not seen them since Christmas. I was only 17? weeks pregnant then. They're also bringing a whole ton of stuff for Scout with them. I may not have had a baby shower, but by the sounds of it, I didn't really need to with the amount of shopping Liam's mum has done.

Baby Jones Update - Week 26 Baby jones | lifestyle | pregnancy | pregnant | update | week 26

Hey, you lovely lot! 

So it turns out that I didn't actually do a 25 week blog post last week. Baby brain has well and truly kicked in. If you do feel as though you've missed a week and want to catch up, you can watch the 25 week video update here.

Moving on to this week, I'm really starting to feel this pregnancy. 

How far along? 26 Weeks! So close to the 3rd trimester.

Total weight gain:I doubled checked my starting weight according to my records and I was actually less than I thought I was at the beginning. This means my weight gain is sitting at 15lbs. I'm ok with that. 

Maternity clothes? Nope. 

Stretch marks? Still no new ones that I've noticed. My old hip ones are definitely noticeable though. Liam asked if they were new ones last night. 

Best moment this week: Pretty much finishing our big baby buys. We only really need to get the little easy bits now. Bath stuff, skincare etc. 

Miss anything? Sleep, sleep, sleep! I've had a few uncomfortable nights this week, and I've even had a couple of nightmares. Something I've never suffered with before. Our new bed comes today though so I'm half expecting to sleep like a log tonight! 

Movement: This little guy is so active! I'm noticing it so much more this week. His quiet periods are getting less frequent and even Liam can see him rolling about from the outside now. 

Food cravings: Not that I can think of. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Just bad smells. I have a really weak stomach anyway. Roll on baby sick and poop! 

Gender: Boy! 

Labor signs: No.

Symptoms: Backache, braxton hicks, heartburn, general tiredness. 

Belly button in or out? In, but it really does feel like it may actually pop. 

Engagement ring on or off? Off :(

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy, generally. I've had a low mood here and there but that's just down to being grumpy about my backache. 

Looking forward to: My new kingsize bed! Hello more space! 

Hope you all have a fab Friday!

Baby Jones Update - Week 24 baby | Baby jones | boy | lifestyle | pregnancy | pregnant | six months. | update | week 24 | whenflowersfall

How far along? 24 Weeks! 

Total weight gain: Truth be told, I haven't weighed myself this week, and the midwife also didn't at my appointment. I'll make sure to find out by next week. 

Maternity clothes? Nope. 

Stretch marks? My old hip ones are definitely making a more obvious appearance now. My belly has also been super itchy so I'm making more of an effort to moisturise.

Best moment this week: Catching more kicks on camera. 

Miss anything? Still sleep. We've now got some damp in our bedroom and I've been waking up congested in the mornings. The past couple of nights have been soother by the dehumidifier though so fingers crossed sleep will start getting better. We're also buying our new bed and mattress soon!

Movement: It's getting more frequent, although he does still like his lazy days. 

Food cravings: I had a Snickers ice cream last weekend and that's kicked off some kind of ice cream obsession. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Dog poop. He's had a few accidents in the house this week and muggins has had to deal with it. Not my favourite thing in the world. 

Gender: Boy! 

Labor signs: No.

Symptoms: Dry skin, spots and dandruff getting worse by the day. I've never really suffered with any of these things before but my skin currently feels like a desert. 

Belly button in or out? In, but I'm starting to wonder if it will pop or not. 

Engagement ring on or off? Off! I'm missing wearing it so bad! 

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy most of the time, but I've been really low and stressed feeling for the past couple of days. 

Looking forward to: The possibility of finishing our baby buys in the next month. I shall fill you in a bit more when the time comes.

Baby Jones Update - Week 23 23 weeks | baby | pregnancy | pregnant | update | whenflowersfall

Hey lovelies!

I'm such a terrible blogger at the minute. 

I plan on getting all sorts done and written, then totally forget, or something else takes my time away. Oh the joys of pregnancy. 

Anywho, this is a day late, but I wanted to get it done as I've just noticed that I didn't even do one for week 22 last week. Now I've finally sorted my youtube schedule/lighting situation out, hopefully the blog can take priority again. 

How far along? 23 Weeks! 

Total weight gain: I've gained a couple more pounds in the past two weeks, I think this puts me at about 10lbs gain. I have a midwife app of Wednesday so hopefully I can find out for sure then. 

Maternity clothes? Nope. Leggings are still doing the job nicely. Although the baby boobies and belly are starting to bulge out of my tank tops, so I may be needing to buy some new ones soon. 

Stretch marks? No new ones still. The old ones on my hips are definitely more noticeable now though. 

Best moment this week: Buying and building our cot! It's made it all seems more real.

Miss anything? Sleep. We've now decided that a new bed and mattress is needed because ours is awful and we're both struggling to get some good shut eye at the minute. 

Movement: Lots, getting stronger and more noticeable by the day. 

Food cravings: Not really. I'm definitely enjoying juicy fruit though. No apples please. (If you follow me on twitter/watch our daily vlogs, you will know why.)

Anything making you queasy or sick: The smell when Liam was picking up dog poops in the garden. 

Gender: Boy! 

Labor signs: No.

Symptoms: Nothing really, although I have been getting tired more often. 

Belly button in or out? In, but I'm starting to wonder if it will pop or not. 

Engagement ring on or off? Off! I finally got my ring back from the jewellers, but for the time being it won't go back on. Although I can't say I've noticed my fingers being much fatter. 

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy most of the time, but my mood can drop like a lead weight. I'm crying at anything and everything too. Haha! 

Looking forward to: Getting the rest of the baby things. I still feel really unprepared. 

I also got my appointment for my gestational diabetes test this week, so there's two hours and two bloods tests to look forward to in the next few weeks. Not. 
I have to say, I'm really enjoying pregnancy at the minute, but I definitely getting to the point where I'm ready to this little guy. I can't wait to see what he looks like, and learn what kind of personality he has!

Baby Jones - Week 20 18 weeks | 19weeks | 20 weeks | baby | lifestyle | pregnancy | pregnant | update | video | whenflowersfall | youtube

I can't believe I haven't done a pregnancy update in 3 weeks! Time is just flying by now and I'm now over halfway. It seems insane to me that in another 17, I'll be considered full term. 

How far along? 20 Weeks! Half wayyyyy!

Total weight gain: From my starting weight, I am up 6lbs. Which, I don't think is too bad considering the amount of food I ate over Xmas and New year. 

Maternity clothes? Just the one pair of leggings I own. I did buy a couple of pairs or jeans from different places, but no matter how much bigger I go, they just don't fit my body shape. Either I can't get them over my thighs, or I can get them on but the waist/bump area is hanging off me. I've just given up on them now and I'm living in plain black leggings with a good stretchy waistband. That seems to work. 

Stretch marks? A couple of tiny new ones on my hips, but old ones are just a little more noticeable. It's not bothering me.

Best moment this week: Feeling baby kick on the outside. It's only happened the once but it was awesome. 

Miss anything? Sleeping a whole night without having to get up to pee. 

Movement: It's really noticeable now, and baby is a real fidget. I've felt kicks and nudges from right underneath my belly button to right by my pubic bone. 

Food cravings: None really. I just always want food. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Not that I can think of. 

Gender: Still no idea, hopefully we can find out on Monday. If not, I'm booking a private gender scan. 

Labor signs: No.

Symptoms: Luckily all the annoying symptoms are pretty much gone. I do get the occasional headache though from not drinking enough. 

Belly button in or out? In, but it's so shallow now! 

Engagement ring on or off? Off! My engagement ring is with the jewellery getting a new replayed. Being white gold, it was looking a little tatty so it's gone for a new coat of shiny. I'm not sure if I'll put it back on when I get it back, or if I'll put it on my necklace. 

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy most of the time, but first thing in the morning I am a moody cow. 

Looking forward to: Our anatomy scan on Monday morning!

Baby Jones - Week 17 Baby jones | bumpdate | pregnancy | pregnant | update | week 17 | whenflowersfall

How far along? 17 weeks

Total weight gain: Finally we have a battery in our scales again. In the past 3(?) weeks, I've gained 2lbs. 

Maternity clothes? Nope. It's my mission after Christmas.

Stretch marks? I've noticed a few on the back of my hips. I'm not sure if they're new, or just old ones looking a bit more angry.

Best moment this week: Hearing baby move about on the doppler. I both instagrammed and inserted a clip into this weeks video update. 

Miss anything? Not being out of breathe over the smallest of things. 

Movement: Again, nothing I can say for definite, but I certainly know that baby is moving a lot! 

Food cravings: Still meat on and off. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really. I think it's finally passed! 

Gender: Still a mystery. I can't wait to be able to use the baby's actual name! 

Labor signs: No.

Symptoms: Stretching belly/uterus pains. It's getting uncomfortable to sleep now. 

Belly button in or out? In

Engagement ring on or off? On

Happy or moody most of the time: I think happy! That makes a nice change. 

Looking forward to: Christmas day and fooooood!!

Baby Jones - Week 15

Howdy!

This was meant to be posted on Friday, but I gave myself a week off from youtube and blogging kind of slipped away from me too. After Liam's accident last Monday and him having to take a week off work, I felt pretty stressed and I definitely feel better for the little break. I just need to find my motivation again to get back into this. 

Anywhooo, I will post my week 16 update on Friday as normal. :)

How far along? 15 Weeks

Total weight gain: I don't actually know. We've had to take the battery out of our scales for something else. :/

Maternity clothes? No new ones.

Stretch marks? A few pre-pregnancy ones on the tops of my thighs are much more visible. Joy. 

Best moment this week: Attending my '16' week midwife appointment and listening to the heartbeat on her doppler. At least I know what I here on mine is definitely baby now. 

Miss anything? Feeling energetic and motivated. I constantly feel like a tubs, lazy blob. 

Movement: I thought maybe I had felt flutters this week. It felt more like someone was stroking my insides. (ooh-er) Since then I haven't really felt anything so now I'm not so sure. 

Food cravings: Steak, burgers and anything meaty. I think I actually had some form of beef for at least three days in a row this week.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Not so much. Still smells every now and then. I think my random days of sickness are finally coming to an end.

Gender: No idea. I'm getting really impatient now and I just want to start calling bub by their name! 

Labor signs: No.

Symptoms: Breathlessness, cravings, stuffy sinuses and incredibly dry skin. My poor lips have been chapped all week and nothing is touching it. I've also noticed my scalp is really dry too. Poop.

Belly button in or out? In

Engagement ring on or off? On

Happy or moody most of the time: I'd like to say happy, but I have found myself snapping a lot. If I'm feeling incredibly moody, I tend to like being on my own. I'd rather not inflict it on anyone else. 

Looking forward to: Christmas! There isn't really anything before that now to look forward to. The 20 week scan seems like miles away!

Baby Jones - Week 14 2nd trimester | baby | bump | jones | pregnancy | pregnant | update | week 14 | whenflowersfall

Hey beauts, 

I cannot believe how much better I'm feeling this week. It's amazing!  I've even managed to keep my house reasonably clean this week. It's a pure miracle. If you want to watch this weeks pregnancy vlog, just click the link below! 

How far along? 14 weeks  

Total weight gain: I've gained another pound this week, but I'm still hovering one below pre-pregnancy weight. I reckon I'll have tipped over that by this time next week. Belly measurement  wise, I've finally grown half a cm. I know it's not much, but it's the first growth I've actually seen in weeks! 

Maternity clothes? Leggings still, but I'm thinking I'm finally going to have to buy some maternity jeans. Absolutely none of mine fit anymore. I can just about get them up, but there is no way I'd ever get them done up!  

Stretch marks? I'd like to say nope, although I have noticed a few on the tops of my thighs are stronger in colour. I'm quite prone to the nasties so I have a funny feeling that this is just the beginning. 

Best moment this week: Feeling so much better. I just thought it was all pretend that you feel better in the 2nd trimester, but man do I feel good. 

Miss anything? I'm still missing all the food/drink I can't have. I think Christmas is going to be really difficult for me this year.  Christmas is probably the only time of year I normally let myself get absolutely trollied. 

Movement: Still too early, but if the sounds I hear on my doppler are anything to go by, this peanut is a real fidget. 

Food cravings: I've wanted steak all week and I finally had one on Wednesday! It was well cooked, but it was soooo good! 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Just bad smells still. 

Gender: No clue, but I have had two dreams this week that said baby is a girly.  

Labor signs: No.

Symptoms: Very sleepy around 4 o'clock, but apart from that I'm feeling better. I can finally get back to emails/blog posts/youtube/housework! Yay! 

Belly button in or out? In

Engagement ring on or off? On

Happy or moody most of the time: I've still been really moody. Mainly in the mornings, I do not like mornings.

Looking forward to: Finding out the gender, but that's weeks away yet.

Baby Jones - Week 13 baby | bump | jones | pregnancy | pregnant | update | week 13 | whenflowersfall

Hey beauts, 

this post was meant to go live last Friday, but I totally blanked and ended up going to bed before I had posted it. So, it may be a little late, but here it is anyway. 

How far along? 13 weeks  

Total weight gain: One more pound one. I'm roughly albs from my heaviest still so I'm pretty happy at that, although I am happy to be gaining finally too. My wise, my measurements have stayed the same.

Maternity clothes? Still only my leggings, but if I'm honest, I'm pretty much living in PJ bottoms whenever I'm at home. 

Stretch marks? Nope.

Best moment this week: THE SCAN! I was dated 4 days behind which makes complete sense according to my dates. 

Miss anything? I've been missing wine this week. I never thought I would, but man, I'd love a glass right now.  

Movement: Still too early.

Food cravings: Olives, olives, olives. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Just bad smells still. 

Gender: No idea. 

Labor signs: No.

Symptoms: Very slight nausea still. Lower backache.

Belly button in or out? In

Engagement ring on or off? On

Happy or moody most of the time: Moody. I've been snapping at Liam all week. :/

Looking forward to: My energy coming back.

Baby Jones - Week 12

Hey beauties,

I figured I'd post this update today, even though I haven't actually filmed a video update to go along side it. For the past couple of days I've actually been feeling so much better than I was; because of this I've spent the majority of the past two days cleaning my house. I can't tell if it's just because I'm feeling better or if I'm nesting a little early. I've even managed to get 6 loads of washing done and dried. That in itself is a miracle.
I'll try and get a video filmed over the weekend, I just don't want to spoil this random bout of energy I have. A clean house is one of my favourite things in this whole entire world, and we haven't had that in weeks!

How far along? 12 weeks  

Total weight gain: I've gained a pound back this week. Sickness wise, I've only had a couple of really bad days so I think it's finally getting better.... 

Maternity clothes? Still only my leggings, but I've been on the lookout for a dress that I can wear to a black tie Xmas event in 4 weeks time. 

Stretch marks? Nope.

Best moment this week: Reaching 12 weeks.

Miss anything? A full nights sleep without having to get up to go to the toilet. Our bathroom i downstairs so it's a real pain the the booty. 

Movement: Still too early.

Food cravings: I'm craving anything juicy atm, and fruit and veggies. I've totally gone off sweet stuff and junk food. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Still anything that smells anything verging on bad.

Gender: No idea. 

Labor signs: No.

Symptoms: Nausea on and off. Lower backache.

Belly button in or out? In

Engagement ring on or off? On

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy. I've been a jolly person this week.

Looking forward to: Still the first scan, but also being classed as 2nd trimester.
