Oh, breastfeeding. It has been the best experience but it has also been the worst experience. I have mentioned that with Megan I was not producing anything, and then she got jaundice because I was not giving her any milk except for my breast which wasn't making anything. Or at least this is how I see how she got jaundice. I will always blame myself for that. This time around I told myself that I was not going to breastfeed due to the whole jaundice thing. However, when I got to the hospital I told them that I did want to. So I tried and by some miracle I was producing food for my baby boy. We are now on day 4 of breastfeeding and I know some people might think that its not something to celebrate but to me, it is, I hope to do this for at least 4 more months. He is getting so much better at latching and is eating every hour now, which I have no clue if that is a good thing but that is what is happening. Sometime I think he eats just so that I can carry him. I never understood ...

I did these photos about 2 weeks ago. I'm so happy that we took them at this time because If I had waited longer I would not have captured my baby belly. So here is a little sneak peek at my maternity photos!

A comparison 32 weeks and 9 weeks How far along:  32 Weeks Size of baby:  Large Jicama (What is that, right?) Total Weight Gain/Loss : +17 Maternity Clothes :  I am so over maternity clothes. I cannot wait till the end of the month. I can wear t-shirts and shorts the whole month of may till baby boy comes home. Boy or Girl:  My little Andrew Movement:  This week he has not been moving as much as he usually does. I may have to bring that up at my appointment today. Anything making you feel queasy or sick:  Nothing I can recall right now. Sleep:  Like I said last week, the bottom part of my uterus feels like it is stretching. Belly Button:  The belly button, is still in, out and half way out. Still weird to see it. What I miss:  Regular clothes How I'm feeling:  Hot..like all the time! Cravings:  This was the week of cravings:) Fried Fish, pizza, ...

It is yet again a Monday. Ugh, I hate Mondays but Im really surprised at how fast these weeks are going by. I feel like I barely have time to breath. I have a couple of things that I need to do this month and I know that they are just around the corner. I am mostly thinking about the last week of April. I will have the whole month of May of just hanging out at home and watching Netflix until this baby is ready to meet us. Seriously, I am so excited to just lay on my bed all month long:) I'm looking forward for it.  Until that glorious month of May, I have to be studying day and night for a certification test that I have on the 17th of April. Everyone says to think positive about this test but it's a very hard test and I've heard that very few people pass this test the first time. So I just don't think that it's likely for me. I mean, I passed the first one in one try but this one could be about anything. So, it's a scary test. Going to need a million pray...

How far along:  31 Weeks Size of baby: Large coconut Total Weight Gain/Loss : +16 Maternity Clothes : Last week I wore some khaki pants, this week they no longer fit me. Did that make me feel bad? A little bit. Mostly, I thought how the heck they could fit me last week but not this week. Boy or Girl:  My little Andrew Movement: Lots and lots of movement. Still have not recorded it yet. Anything making you feel queasy or sick:  Everything is good:) Sleep: Well, the lower part of my belly hurts occasionally when I have to turn to the other side of the bed. Belly : I cannot see the bottom of my belly anymore. Even if I try(and I look like a weirdo) I still can't see the bottom, and I need a mirror for it. I'm assuming soon the mirror is not even going to be able to see the bottom as well. What I miss: Running. How I'm feeling: Tired, sleepy, hungry, and hot Cravings: Kisses with almonds Looking forward ...

Baby clothes has been a huge problem. I want certain types of clothes for my baby boy. I want collard shirts for baby and I really don't want all his clothes to be blue. Uh, can we say boring. Jaime on the other hand likes the complete opposite of me in the clothes that my baby will wear. I don't know, I'm a preppy person and my husband just isn't. So we will see what he wears. For now some of our friends gave us some of their old baby's clothes. I can't thank her enough because we really needed some clothes.
