I can’t believe were already over halfway there to meeting our baby boy! This pregnancy is really flying by for me. I think it’s because we already have Hunter to keep us busy. Hunter keeps touching my belly and saying “baby” but now she thinks everyone has a baby in their tummy, including herself! It’s so cute and she has no clue what’s coming. I really do think she will be the best big sissy, she is the sweetest and loves all babies. Just wanted to share a little bumpdate with y’all! I’m answering all the questions y’all sent me over on Instagram!
How far along?
I’m 24 weeks!
Feeling any movement?
YES! Madden is a wiggle worm and is constantly moving now. He is finally big enough that you can see his little kicks from the outside. Feeling your baby kick is my favorite part of pregnancy, it’s the sweetest.
How I’m sleeping?
So far, so good! The pregnancy insomnia hasn’t hit me yet and I pray that it never does!! I’ll take all the sleep I can get.
Any Food Aversions?
YES. The same I had with Hunter pretty much, I can barely eat any chicken. I try to take one bite and it just makes me gag. I’m doing okay with any ground beef, which is strange because I usually don’t like it.
Favorite Maternity Pieces?
I try to not buy a ton of maternity clothes but obviously end up needing some. I picked up these denim shorts and they’re my favorite! So comfy and I love that you can still tuck shirts in! I have some pieces from PinkBlush and they’re the absolute best! I’ve been living in this easy dress! Like I said, I try to find pieces that work with the bump and I love this dress from Amazon! I have been getting a lot of bump friendly clothes from Amazon.
What diaper bag will I be using?
I really loved my Fawn Design bag when Hunter was just born. I used it for a while and then started using my Lenny Lemons bag as well. I love both of these bags and think I will just continue using them!
What stroller will I be using for both babies?
I plan on getting the UPPAbaby Vista stroller! I had my eye on it when I was pregnant with Hunter and have major stroller envy every time I see it. I’ve looked into so many double stroller options and this is the one that has the best reviews and will work the best for our family. I’m SO excited about it, how mom of me LOL
What are some items on my registry?
I wasn’t sure if I should even put this on here because I haven’t even started a registry.. oops. It is at the top of my to-do list and I plan on doing it ASAP. I will be registering at Amazon, Pottery Barn Kids and a boutique that is close by! I think I’ll mostly be registering for smaller items and clothes. We have pretty much all of the big items that we will need for Madden. He will need boy clothes considering I had no gender neutral clothing items with Hunter.
Where to get cute baby clothes that aren’t expensive?
I love shopping at Old Navy and Target for babies! They have such cute clothes and they’re almost always on sale. I also have heard that H&M has cute baby clothes and OMG yes, SOOO CUTE! I plan on stocking up for Madden. You can also look on Amazon and find some cute items, just make sure you read any reviews!
Any tips for wanting to breastfeed but also needing to pump?
I’ve talked about this some before but with Hunter, after about like 6 weeks, I exclusively pumped. I plan on trying to breastfeed this time around and hopefully it will work out better for us. My advice is make sure you breastfeed first and then after baby is done eating, pump immediately after. You want to pump with enough time for your supply to build back up before baby wants to feed again.
Thanks for following along with my growing family and for reading!
