25 Weeks

Baby Hernandez...well that is what we are calling you right now, cause you are only the size of a zucchini...that is at least what the baby app is telling us!

I want to use the blog to have an online journal of this pregnancy. With your sister Reagan had a little book that I wrote and collected things in, but I feel that because you will be a child of the technical revolution,  you will appreciate the online aspect of this better than a "book" . Plus, I like typing better than writing! I hope to add pictures, videos, and just overall feelings about how things are going through these next 3 months.

You are a little different from your little sister, because you took a little longer to conceive! Reagan was conceived on the first try, but you took a few months! We started trying in September, but the moons were just not aligned and it took until January to finally get that positive result! So we are calling you a New Years Miracle!

When I first took the test (for the 3rd month) I got the 6 day early test and I took the test at 5am...I couldn't wait! I woke your Daddy up right away and had to tell him. His first words to this were, "Oh no...another Chaca!" After that, I called my Mom and my sister, Casey! I had to tell them too! Everyone was very excited!

I waited to tell everyone at my works till after the Doctor's appointment at 12 weeks (minus the 6 days early)! I took forever to keep my trap shut till then! For School, I posted this picture (and on Facebook), at JCPenney, I brought in little Munchkin Donuts saying " Another little Munchkin for the Hernandez Family". It was so cute and everyone loved it!



Don't be fooled, she was just mad cause she wanted to hold the picture over her face...she is actually very excited to be a big sister!

 

My goal is to post to this blog each week, to give an update on the happenings of each week the rest of the pregnancy and beyond! We are so excited this week, because today we got your bassinet! It is an Eddie Bauer one, which as you will learn to know, we got at a great deal from a Garage Sale! (Sorry babycakes, your Mommy and Daddy are not rich with money, but we are rich with love!)

These are some of the questions that I want to answer as the weeks go on:


What are your cravings?
Do you have morning sickness?
What other pregnancy symptoms do you have?
Who do you regularly talk with and share your pregnancy details with?
When did you start wearing maternity clothes?
What were your favorite maternity clothes?
Do you have any worries or concerns about your pregnancy?
What types of medical tests did you have done throughout the pregnancy?
When did you first feel the baby move? Where were you? Who were you with?
Who was the first person to feel the baby move?
Do you have a strong feeling about the sex of the baby?
Are you going to find out the sex of your baby? Why or why not?
Do you ever feel the baby hiccup?
What are some of your choices for names?
Do you experience Braxton-Hicks contractions? How often?
What are your favorite pregnancy/childbirth books? Why?
Have any strangers touched your stomach?
