8 WEEK BUMPDATE! (Pregnant With Baby #3)

Hey guys, oh my gosh, I have not made a video on my channel and it has to be over two years like two years How are you guys? Oh my gosh so much has happened over the last years I am assuming you guys have seen something on either on our Either on our social media or over on our daily bumps family channel, but if you haven't i'm pregnant I'm pregnant with my third And this is very exciting and terrifying and scary And I just knew I had to make a video on my channel because would be weird not to like not to do a bump date So yeah to quickly catch you up back in november of 2021 Me and brian decided to go ahead and remove my iud. I had a copper iud. It was working great No issues, but I was like just I really wanted to have a baby. I was like i'm ready. We're ready Let's do this we You know we we spent the last couple years trying to figure out where we wanted to be and what we're gonna do And wanted to sell our house. We didn't know where to go. And so we kind of found a house We're like let's go for it. I went in there by the way They tried to remove the iud and it had grown into my uterus, you know something about me Just there's always some sort of issue with my uterus. I don't really know why but apparently that's just how it is Yeah, I had my I had to have my iud surgically removed. I guess that happened in like november I think early november by december. We were like, okay. This is the first month that we could get pregnant let's try to just Natural family plan see how good we are at it and see if this is an option for us down the road when we are When we've decided not to have any more babies if natural family planning is like a good idea for us I was like tracking my ovulation I knew when to not and how to be careful of that and we ended up not pregnant and I was like We did it second month. I you know It wasn't like a let's let's avoid it but there wasn't like a okay, let's make a baby Sure enough. It basically just happened. I I thought it was actually going to ovulate in four days but I ovulated a little bit early and so I think I I tested the next day after our like date night and it was bright pink I was clearly positive for ovulation and I knew in that moment. I was like Knowing brian i'm pregnant anytime There's an idea or an option to be pregnant. I'm pregnant. That's pretty much what happens with me I don't know if i've ever gone a month and wasn't like specifically not trying to get pregnant that I didn't get pregnant That's how crazy fertile we are. So I pretty much knew I was pregnant I was kind of I was trying to be careful like you don't know though Like we not might not be as fertile as we used to be But I was like testing pretty much regularly to find out if I am and sure enough I'm pregnant if you guys missed like the full Way, we found out you guys can head over to our family channel and you can watch that And then we told our family we told my mom and my sister and the kids and everyone the whole family It was super super exciting I know a lot of you guys are wondering how I told my sister and my brother I have a full story for that. My sister's been out of town So I haven't been able to tell you guys the story and I want to like film it with her So be on the lookout for how my sister reacted. I do have a little bit of footage I think I can show you and yeah, it's gonna be a really cute and fun video So be on the lookout for that. But yes now i'm pregnant and uh, i'm doing a bump day. It's so funny This is a very very different experience Very different with ollie. I was scared Of course because I had two previous pregnancies and I was just so nervous. I was much younger But pregnancy was like at that point I was just like I know how like i'm pregnant like this is just what you do You get pregnant and it's hard and you have a baby and gosh, I was like so excited for everything I was so excited for morning sickness and all of it And then with fin I was a little bit more seasoned and I I was like but still excited about it all this one It's such a different terrifying experience It's like am I too old for this like I feel Feel it just feels really different. I don't really know how to explain it But now that I have two kids that are older like i'm out of the baby stage I'm, no longer like I can't wait for the baby stage. I can't I am excited for the baby stage, but it's a different it's different. I know what to expect and I know how how hard it is so it's um It's definitely very different. I still have nerves when it comes to like pregnancy, but things are going really well Baby's heartbeat is good. I'm not so nervous about pregnancy. I'm more like how am I gonna do this emotionally? I don't even know. It's very interesting. But yeah, so I am about eight weeks So I haven't had an official scan to tell me like exactly how much the baby is measuring according to my last period I would be like eight weeks in like eight and a half weeks or so I had actually an ultrasound just two days ago and the baby was measuring just a couple days below seven weeks So the baby could have you know implanted a little bit later or just babies grow at different rates, too So I don't know exactly how far along I am, but i'm about in the eight week mark It feels like i've known for at least eight weeks. I'll tell you that I am so out of breath right now Slow down. I made a video and so long on this channel. It's nerve-wracking I had to go back and like watch some of my old eight week Bump dates because I was like, what do you talk about in bump dates anymore? I honestly still don't really know Let's see. So I kind of talked about how i'm feeling emotionally definitely a very different experience I feel like hopefully as the further I get along in this pregnancy I'll be able to explain it a little bit more but I am having like morning sickness and with ollie I was clearly just so excited because I just wanted to like be pregnant I wanted to feel pregnant and having morning sickness is the first signs that you're pregnant and I was just so excited for it And now i'm like, I don't want to have morning sickness. I don't want to be exhausted It's like it's different. I don't know but I am having morning sickness. So about a week ago now i've been like very Very nauseous. I have thrown up once I was really hoping to avoid morning sickness and nausea I was really really hoping that you know a lot of the times that morning sickness can happen because you're like waking up early and you don't eat and i'm like I have two older kids now. They can almost take care of themselves I can sleep in a little bit and then wake up and drink my coffee. I'll be energized and then you know I had all these plans and That has not really been the case. I just I can't really sleep past like 7 30. I wake up I'm, like I gotta get stuff done. I can't drink coffee. I apparently have a coffee aversion, which is not part of my plan I really wanted to drink my coffee like something that's like so comforting to me I didn't like coffee with ollie and finn and so I was always felt like gosh if I just drank coffee I'd probably like have a lot more energy, but I the smell of coffee right now is just I hope that doesn't last forever definitely tired, which is okay Because like I said, I homeschool ollie so I can be pretty relaxed with my routine finn goes to school We pick him up But it's not like we have a super crazy schedule that I can't like take a nap brian's home a lot and can help me Almost any time I need him, you know fatigue isn't so much the problem It's the nausea plus the fatigue that makes it really hard. He's starting to get headaches Yeah, it's just like all those all of these things It's so hard because you're like it's it is exciting that you're like feel you feel pregnant because all those symptoms are happening But it's just hard. I feel like i'm like no, I don't want this. I just want a baby But yeah, so we have seen the baby now two times we just go into like one of those cute like ultrasound places We did the first one around like six weeks and we saw the heartbeat baby was super super small And then we just went a couple days ago saw the heartbeat again, which is so nice We brought the boys to it and I was a nervous wreck. I hate ultrasounds like I mean It's a love-hate relationship obviously because love them they give you so much peace of mind and let you know that the baby's growing But the lead-up the the build-up of is the heartbeat there is everything Okay is so much for me and obviously it's just from my past experiences but I was like really I really wanted to bring the boys and they wanted to see the baby, but I was like How would I handle this? How would I like I almost would want to just like almost not react if there was a bad situation And deal with it when we got home so we can talk about it. I was very nervous about it Had to go through that whole scenario in my head of how I was gonna handle it if something bad was to be said But thank goodness. I know exactly what i'm looking forward to they she put it right on there and I saw the heartbeat right away I was like Oh, and I even said I was like, it's just really nerve-wracking when you bring your kids She's like, oh, I know I totally understand. So that was really exciting got to see the baby again And yeah, and now i'm just kind of on a hunt for a doctor slash midwife I'm, really leaning towards a midwife for this pregnancy and there's so many options now Gosh, when I was pregnant with ollie and finn all I wanted was a midwife and I could not find like one I finally just one or two and they were really like really rare I had to end up driving to san diego for both the pregnancies And so I ended up having to drive like an hour and a half for like doctor visits and stuff like that Now there's midwives everywhere So i'm kind of in the process of finding a midwife, but I feel really relaxed when it comes to this pregnancy I don't feel like I need to immediately get into a doctor I don't feel like I immediately need to like have them do all this measuring It's like pregnancy is so natural and it is fun. It's exciting and i'm just gonna like be calm with it I'm, not going to go and get all this blood work done and all these things done I just I don't really have a big desire to be surrounded by doctors this whole pregnancy Which was kind of my case with both ollie and finn. I was constantly in doctor's appointments Trying to get an ultrasound and trying to get them to measure and I have all these like cute little ultrasound places I can go and if I ever need to see the baby, but I don't feel like I need this constant attention from a doctor So i'm really looking forward to this pregnancy for that reason. I just feel a lot calmer I feel like with my older age i'm a little bit more relaxed and obviously I want to make sure the pregnancy is healthy And everything's going good. But yeah, i'm really excited to kind of have a midwife and a really like relaxed experience this time I'll let you guys know how that all goes and like what we end up deciding to do as we Go along this whole pregnancy.
