Bump Date | 31 Weeks with Baby No. Two

Bump Date | 31 Weeks with Baby No. Two


I decided to document our pregnancy as a way to get all my feelings and emotions out and to later look and remember this beautiful time in our lives while noticing the differences and similarities with our first pregnancy. I hope you enjoy if you decide to follow along on this life changing journey.

Well we are in the midst of a storm, we began preparing last Wednesday and grabbed groceries and plenty of water bottles. We debated evacuating but at this point, we are just going to wait it out and take it hour by hour. However, I couldn't allow the storm to prevent me from documenting this gift of life growing inside of me. In the midst of a natural disaster or any unfortunate circumstance, it is easy to dwell on the bad but the Lord is good. He is sovereign and in control in all circumstances.

Maybe it's the storm but I have had better energy again this week which I am thankful for. I am feeling every little movement from baby boy as he moves around, it's pretty evident he is running out of room in there. I can feel his limbs push out on the side of my belly which is cool and creepy at the same time. Also, I have been trying to take advantage of all the cuddles and hugs from Sophia before we have to figure out the dividing of attention between her and baby boy.

I also have been showing her how to rock and pat her teddy bears which she looks so adorable doing, it just melts my heart. We are planning to get her a baby doll as her big sister gift so she can be somewhat involved by taking care of her baby while momma takes care of baby brother.

Bump Date | 30 Weeks with Baby No. Two

Bump Date | 30 Weeks with Baby No. Two

It is so hard to still believe we are at the end of this pregnancy but at the same time I feel like there is still so much longer to go, haha. I definitely wouldn't rush it though, I know baby boy needs his time to finish developing and praying that he makes his arrival on his own time, God willing. 

We did have our 30 week check-up and everything is still normal and heading in the right direction. I am feeling lots of tightening and minor cramping but my doctor said that is normal especially since baby boy is running out of room. You can feel his limbs or some part of his body, I am not sure what part, poking out as he moves around. Also, I mentioned having contraction like feelings when I go to the restroom but they do go away after I am finished and she said that was also normal as long as they stop.

Bump Date | 29 Weeks with Baby No. Two

To think it wasn't possible for me to get more tired and uncomfortable. This week was definitely a rough week where I wanted to (and did) stay in bed majority of the day. I am still trying to follow my previous pregnancy bedtime routine and it helps some and as I mentioned in my 28 Week Update, I did try 30 minutes of Yoga and that did help tremendously on that day. I was very sore in the groin area the next day so I took it easy and skipped Yoga for two days as I was told you can still over due it even if it's just simple stretching. Despite my discomfort and exhaustion, I love feeling all these kicks and movements from baby boy. Although I have to pee a billion times a day and sometimes I feel like a boulder is sitting on my lungs, his kicks remind me that he is there and growing stronger.

Bump Date | 28 Weeks with Baby No. Two

Bump Date | 28 Weeks with Baby No. Two


I decided to document our pregnancy as a way to get all my feelings and emotions out and to later look and remember this beautiful time in our lives while noticing the differences and similarities with our first pregnancy. I hope you enjoy if you decide to follow along on this life changing journey.

We are officially in the third trimester!! Almost at the finish line so I decided it was yet time again to start doing my bump dates in a weekly format as once my third trimester is over, I will be too busy figuring out life as a mom to a newborn and a toddler. Along with sharing my updates on this ever growing baby bump, I may also include my third trimester style within these weekly updates if and when I find the energy to actually get dressed. You are also more then welcomed to follow me on Instagram as I am on there daily.

As I mentioned in my second trimester update, my energy level didn't completely return and in fact it started slowly dwindling again. I am constantly tired but sciatic nerve pain keeps me awake late into the night. I have tried to start a similar bedtime routine like I had when I was pregnant with Sophia and sometimes that seems to help. I also plan to start doing about 30 minutes of Yoga during the day to see if that kind of helps. When I was pregnant with Sophia, Yoga stretches were apart of my bedtime routine but I think I would benefit having it as part of a mid-day routine this time around while Sophia is napping.
