Weekly Bump Update: 28th week

¿Baby Size? 

• Week 28: Mia weighs about 2.2 pounds (997.9 g) this according to the "I'm expecting app" (Which I absolutely LOVE & highly recommend) but she has always been above the average so she's probably a little bit over! She measures about 14.8 inches (37.6 cm) long!

Baby Mia is about the size

of an Iceberg Lettuce!

What I researched lately: I can't believe I'm less than 3 months away from meeting Baby Mia!

Fun Baby & Bump facts for week #28: 

• Her face is practically formed, her ayes, ears and lips are in place and she even has eyebrows and eyelashes at this point (Hopefully she gets daddy's long lashes, mines are tiny "Thank God for Mascara" lol)
• Her lungs are now half way developed, and won't be complete 'til the 8th month!
• She can feel pain now (Which is not "FUN")
• Baby Mia should be able to react to light changes (We played with her and a Flashlight, we got quite the reaction)

Symptoms: I've had no Big signs of anything except for some back pain (when I do things around the house) I've even started to loose my appetite again which Javi doesn't like at all (He get's worried all the time, but I've been eating healthy ever since I learned I was pregnant)

Next Doctors Appointment: Is set for next week - Monday, June 10th

Next Ultrasound Appointment: as well as the Ultrasound .. Getting 4D by the way (WE CAN'T WAIT!)

Important events or Situations this past weeks: Grandma Diaxne and Grandpa Rey finally went on their trip to the U.S and got Baby Mia everything she needs! Daddy Javi and I made a list and budget for them so it would be easier for them to not miss anything! And now we have everything! Crib, Closet and Organizer are on their way, but might take a little longer than we though since it's a lot more work than we thought for Grandpa Fala! But we are thrilled and relieved that we are on track and still have time to get the things ready! God has been so kind to us .. I know Baby Mia is so healthy and he will allow me to be at peace before she comes!

5 Products: "Love at first sight"

So ever since I learned I was pregnant I started researching Baby Checklists of pretty much Everything a Baby needs! I must say mine ended up being extremely detailed! Since January (Month I found out I was preggo) I hadn't gone shopping for anything at all, because grandma was going to take a trip to the states this past MAY (Which did happen!!) So I had the very laborious task of making THE LIST for the grandparents to buy! They ended up buying so much more than what was actually on that LIST .. Not only did they go crazy buying cute things (Because lets face it, there are so many cute things for Girls) but they were able to buy things that weren't on the list that I know I'll put in good use with Baby Mia! These are not in the "I NEED" category but I love them ♥ Here are 5 of the Products I loved the most:

Weekly Bump Update: 27th week

I'm actually 28 weeks as of Today, but I have 2 really cute Pictures I'd love to share of week 27 with Auntie Silvana! Plus I can't miss updating you on how Mia is doing this week!

Look at Tia's Face .. Can you Tell she's excited? (Above)

She really thought she wasn't in frame (Below)

¿Baby Size? 

• Week 27: Baby weighs roughly 2 pounds (907 grams) and measures about 14.14 inches (36.6 cm) long from head to heel! This is according to the "I'm expecting app" on my phone! But she was actually 917 grams when we went to our last Doctors appointment which was almost a month ago! So she is above average at this point, way above! 

Baby Mia is about the size

of a Cauliflower!

What I researched lately: We are currently a little over 6 months which I can't even Believe! 28 weeks down, only 12 to go .. AAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Freaking out here! Time flies! I remember when it was the other way around and I was only 12 weeks into the pregnancy! On the real subject Mia is a little Kicking Machine, she moves all the time. I read this week that her brain is currently functioning like a Newborn! Her senses have now started to develop in a way that she is now learning and retaining information, my little Princess can now hear and react to our our voices (I read she can even dance or move to Music as a reflex). I wonder what position she's in right now since the kicking feels all over the place, no consistence whatsoever! (Won't know 'til the 10th though)

Fun Baby & Bump facts for week #27: 

• Her face is practically formed, her ayes, ears and lips are in place and she even has eyebrows and eyelashes at this point (Hopefully she gets daddy's long lashes, mines are tiny "Thank God for Mascara" lol)
• Her lungs are now half way developed, and won't be complete 'til the 8th month!

Next Doctors Appointment: Is set for next week - Monday, June 10th

Next Ultrasound Appointment: as well as the Ultrasound .. Getting 4D by the way (WE CAN'T WAIT!)

Important events or Situations this past weeks: Grandma Diaxne and Grandpa Rey finally went on their trip to the U.S and got Baby Mia everything she needs! Daddy Javi and I made a list and budget for them so it would be easier for them to not miss anything! And now we have everything!

I know Baby Mia is so healthy and he will allow me to be at peace before she comes!

MEGA UPDATE: Weekly Bump : 21st to 26th week ♥ (Yeah I Know .. LOL)

Hello! YES YES YES I KNOW .. 

A lot piled up!

But what can I do? I've been super busy .. Sooooo here's the MEGA update!

¿Baby Size?

• Week 21: Baby weighs 10.5 ounces (297.7 grams) now and she's around 10.5 inches (26.7 cm) long from head to heel. She's about the size of a Carrot!
• Week 22: Baby is about 10.9 inches (27.8 cm) long! And weighs about 12.25 ounces (347.3 grams) She's about the size of a Papaya!
• Week 23: Baby measures around 11.4 inches (28.9 cm) long and weighs almos 1 pound (453.6 grams) About the size of a Pomegranate!
• Week 24: Baby weighs about 1.3 pounds (567 grams) and measures 11.8 inches (30.5 cm) She's about the size of a Grapefruit!
• Week 25: Baby measures about 13.6 inches (34.6 cm) and weighs at this point 1.5 pounds (680.4 grams) Baby is about the size of a Zucchini!
• Week 26: Baby weighs a little less than 2 pounds (907.2 grams) and measures around 14 inches (35.6 cm) long! She's the size of and Eggplant!

What I researched lately: (All 6 weeks) Baby Mia's digestive system has developed enough to start absorbing water and small amounts of sugar from the amniotic fluid that she swallows. Bone marrow has also developed! Baby has also grown visible eyebrows, eyelashes and hair on her scalp. Our sweet baby Girl is developing sense she will use in the outside world! Since were having a little girl I must add that by this point her uterus and ovaries are in place, while Queen Victoria has developed! She has fully formed fingers and finger print (Which will not only grant her, her unique-ness in the world, but will also allow me to paint her nails) AWEESOME!! Baby can react to sound from the outside and even react when playing with a flashlight!

21st week

22nd week

22nd - 23rd week 

Fun Baby & Bump facts for week #27: 

• Baby detects Light changes at this point (She jumps around and moves like crazy when I shine a Flashlight on my Belly)
• Mia resembles what she will look like at Birth
• Her hearing is mature enough to recognize both my voice and Javi's!
• Javi may be able to hear Mia's Heartbeat by putting his head on my Belly!

Symptoms: Besides my usual sleepy-ness these past weeks have been amazing, even though I've been uber busy and under a lot of stress Princess Mia has behaved! She's awesome! 

Next Doctors Appointment: Is set for June 10th

Next Ultrasound Appointment: as well as my next scan .. for June 10th! BUT I'm finally getting the 4D done!

23rd week (with my very Happy Baby Daddy)

23rd week (with our very young Gramps .. Uber excited, can't you tell?)

25th week "The BUMP shot"

25th week (with Auntie Angelica)

25th - 26th week

Important events or Situations this past weeks: DURING THIS WEEKS SO MANY THINGS HAPPENED! Baby Mia started moving like crazy on April 6th to the sound of MICHAEL JACKSON'S Thriller, Javi says she'll have his same taste in music! We went in for our morphogenetic ultrasound, which showed nothing but a BIG, Chubby and HEALTHY Baby! (We are so grateful to God! And feel beyond Blessed) We celebrated Grandmas Birthday and my 1st Mothers day!

I'm sharing this picture from the Ultrasound that Revealed that were having a Baby Girl! (Left) And the other picture is Javi laying on my Belly on April 6th (Right) when we first FELT Mia's little Kicks .. Now there are no little kicks ... HUGE KICKS!

Weekly Bump Update: 17th to 20th week

We are Having a dear Baby GIRL!

Momma Mode ON!: HIPER-NESTING!

Quick update on these last Few weeks (Excuse the phone pictures) 

NOTE: I don't have my S2 anymore .. It got stolen! : (So no phone for now! Instagraming once in a while from Auntie Angelica's Phone)

¿Baby Size? 

• Week 17: Baby weighs 5 ounces now (about as much as a turnip), and she's around 5 inches long from head to bottom
• Week 18: Baby is about 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a bell pepper) and he weighs almost 7 ounces
• Week 19: Baby weighs about 8 1/2 ounces and measures 6 inches, head to bottom
• Week 20: Baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. He's also around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom and about 10 inches from head to heel — the length of a banana.

What I researched lately: (All 4 weeks) She's busy flexing his arms and legs. Her movements are much stronger each week. Your baby's sensory development is exploding! Her brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. Some research suggests that she may be able to hear your voice now, so I'm not being shy about reading aloud, talking to her, or singing a happy tune if the mood strikes you. For the first 20 weeks, when a baby's legs are curled up against her torso and hard to measure, measurements are taken from the top of her head to her bottom — the "crown to rump" measurement. After 20 weeks, she's measured from head to toe

Fun Baby & Bump facts for weeks #17-#20: 

• As my belly grows, my center of gravity changes, so I may begin to occasionally feel a little unsteady on your feet.
• From now on, when I lie down, it's best to lie on me side or at least partly tilted to one side. (It's been getting harder and harder each week to sleep at night)
• I feel BIGGER! I'll start growing even faster in the weeks to come. As a result, I may notice some achiness in my lower abdomen or even an occasional brief, stabbing pain on one or both sides
• I have to make sure you're getting enough iron, a mineral that's used primarily to make hemoglobin (the part of your red blood cells that carries oxygen).

Symptoms: I've felt much better since last post. Fatigue has completely dissapeared. Although sleepiness is at its MAXIMUM power! I sleep all the time and everywhere 

Next Doctors Appointment: Is set for the first week of May!

Next Ultrasound Appointment: as well as my next scan .. But I might be getting a 3D or 4D .. Haven't made up my mind still have some research to do!

Important events or Situations this past weeks: On April 9th we reached the HALF WAY MARK - 20 weeks down .. 20 TO GO! On Friday April 12th we Finally hosted our "Gender Reveal Party" its was so hard to keep it a secret (We had our ultrasound a couple of days earlier) Me and Javi got attacked for not sharing what we knew until days later! But it was worth it! SO WORTH IT! It was a super special moment (Watch the Video on the Gender Reveal Post) to see the reaction when we announced that we're Having a Baby Girl! I still get goosebumps each time we watch it! We got a visit from Auntie Yoanka (A childhood friend) this past weekend. I hadn't seen her in years .. We've known each other for so LONG and she's pregnant as well (Were 3 weeks apart) I'm so glad to be sharing this with her! She's coming back next week so were getting our Ultrasounds done together! CAN'T WAIT!!

I'm late on 7 weeks again so I'll update soon!

I've been uber busy .. I'll try to be more consistant! SORRY!!!
