Update: 15 weeks

I realized I haven't really said much about being pregnant, other than when I announced it. My next statement is probably going to make a lot of people mad, so I apologize in advance... but well I almost forget I am pregnant. I have been very blessed to have great pregnancies; but deliveries not so much.

I was in labor with Lucas for 18 hours, 4 of which I literally spent pushing (no meds the whole time). He was right there and I just kept thinking, this time he will come. I think I pushed from every position possible, even on my hands and knees.. but nothing. By the end I could not believe how completely exhausted I was. After almost four hours the doctor finally came back in and tried to use a vacuum to help him out. By this point I really just don't know if I could push anymore.

So 18 hours of labor, ended with a c-section. Let's just say a scheduled c-section with no labor is much better than the first time around.

And so here I am the third time around, I will obviously just go the scheduled c-section route again. The great thing about that is I have a say in my delivery date. I am due July 8th (or 11th-depending on who you ask), and so I figure I will shoot for the 1st. Why the 1st? Well June 30th a little movie called Eclipse comes out and I really want to be there.
15 Weeks
And yes I am in my Pj's
and yes that is my belly button already sticking out.

  1. Don't worry, some of us just have easy pregnancies. It might explain why I have so dang many kids. You look tiny and cute still, but soon enough you will be feeling pregnant. Enjoy your comfort while you can!

  2. Oh oh oh oh I just love baby bellies!! Wonderful..joyful whoot! 15 weeks already..wow!!
    I didn't have any problems with my first four..but Nonni..uhgggg..I felt pregnant for nine months ..of course I was 43..I felt it! Having easy pregnancies and deliveries (Fox at home with a midwife) could explain my five wonderful kiddos!
    So very happy for you hon!!! Enjoy!
    Hugs, Sarah

  3. You look absolutely darling, PJs and all. My Princess was on target to be early and I wanted her in June vs. July so she'd have pearl as her birthstone. Guess who was born on June 30??? LOL! Not sure if I've have made changes for a movie, but I like the way you think!!!

  6. dang girl! glad you get to go straight to the table now;-) my belly button popped straight out with this one too. i don't remember it being so out with brennan before. i kept forgetting i was pregnant with this one too. in fact, when i wake up in the morning i don't realize it until i stand up and feel sore in my legs. funny. with brennan i was reminded every second that i was pregnant. and not so much in good ways. so glad this one has been easier. happy you're enjoying yours too;-)

  13. Aw, you look so cute. I love the pregnant glow. I had two c-sections myself and was hoping to have natural the second round, but no go.

  14. I had no idea that you were expecting. How exciting. And how unfair that you look that good when you're pregnant.
    That is awful that they let you push for so long! I can't believe they would leave you in agony for more than two hours!
