Baby Garcia

Yes we are still no name Garcia. 
But it will come to us hopefully before he is born.

Last week we finally got to see our little guy again!
Let me tell you i was so nervous. I had been having braxton hicks all weekend and week long. Called the doctors, but they said it was normal unless it got worst and more often. 
So driving into Salt Lake was the longest drive of my life. I was thankful that Logan was able to take some time off work to go with me. Once we got there they started to check everything on my little dude. 



His brain was GREAT
Lungs are working awesome
Kidneys are working the way the should 
Heart was amazing.138 (The Ultrasound tech said this was on of the best hearts she had seen in a while)
Spine looked great
He had his ten fingers and toes
He has his daddy lips for sure
Grandma Higgins Nose
Daddy's head 
The Tech said that he looked perfect in every single way!
It couldn't have gone better.
She also look at my Subchorionic Hemorrhage, and the more she looked the more i got worried. Finally she looked at me and told me that she couldn't find it anywhere. WHAT. Yes it healed itself. You dont know how much weight was lifted off my chest. It was the best news i could of gotten. She made sure to look a few more times just to double check for me. 


I just cannot wait to meet his little guy. Now that i know everything is okay i can hopefully enjoy this pregnancy a little more. 


I had to throw this in here cause big brother is doing amazing also. He is a spit fire for sure!!!
I cant wait to be a mom to two little boys.

21 Weeks

21 Weeks!




What's up with Baby this week? Our little man weights roughly three quarters of a pound and approximately 10 1/2 Inches long. The size of a carrot.



Symptoms? Stretching stretching and more stretching. I swear in the last few days he has grown like a weed. I feel like all you see when you see me is belly. But everyone said im still pretty small.


Gender? Little Man

Excited For?  Heading to Idaho. Its my uncles 50 birthday party and i haven't seen family in about 4 months. So ready to see everyone. 


Maternity Clothes? I LOVE yoga pants.. Still hasvent bought any new clothes. But i guess what i have now is going to have to work till my belly hangs out. 
  
Sleep? Im waking up more at night to go to the restroom. Im also having to move more at night to cause my hips will really start to hurt.

Movement? Yes, moving a lot more now. I love just sitting at work and feeling him move more. He like to move right when mom is trying to fall asleep. So of course mom stays up just to feel you more around and till you are ready for bed time. 

Belly Button Status? Belly button is flush with the belly. 

Missing Anything? Just tired of all the cramping. I have been getting braxton hicks like crazy. I want to start enjoying his pregnancy. 

Milestones? 
Going to our 20 week ultrasound!
Just being able to see his little face made this mommy feel 100% better.


Cravings? This week i have been eating everything and anything i can get my hands on to. I swear i am hungry all the time. .

Weight Gain? I'm really scared to find out what i have gained. But i go in the end of this month for my appointment. I'm sure i am passed my pre-pregnancy weight. Hoping not a ton. 






Each week now im going to a compassion to what i was 10 weeks ago. I forgot to post this one last week. And i also forgot to take a picture of my 21 weeks. So this will have to do for now. 
I dont look much bigger but i do look more round.

Half Way

20 Weeks!
Half Way BABY..




What's up with Baby this week? Our little man is the size of a Banana, around 6 1/2 inches long and weights almost 10 1/2 ounces. Its hard to believe that he is growing that fast.



Symptoms? Cramping Still. I have tried to just lay around and not do much on my days off. But we all know moms cant always do that. I also have pain in my hips. Looks like i need to buy a body pillow. :)

Gender? Little Man

Excited For?  Again my 20 weeks ultrasound. Just to see my little mans face again.
I also cant wait to find out if my subchorionic hemorrhage has healed it self or if it has gotten worst. We are hoping for the best!


Maternity Clothes? I LOVE yoga pants. I need to start getting more shirts cause everything is getting pretty tight on me. 


Sleep? Sleep has been okay... Im way tired all the time. 

Movement? Yes, moving a lot more now. Still moving more at night but he is starting to do little kicks during the day!

Belly Button Status? Still in but i know its going to be flush with the belly soon!!

Missing Anything? Not losing my breath going up and down the stairs, not cramping, and being able to get up without Logan pushing my butt. :)

Milestones? 
Feeling little man move a little more. 

Cravings? This week i have been all into my sweets. Sweet tarts, laffy taffys, Toots rolls. Pretty much anything sweet  

Weight Gain? At my last appointment i have gained 5 pounds. So not its a total of 7 lost. Almost to my pre-pregnancy weight.
