35 Weeks

35 weeks 1 day

34 Weeks

34 weeks, 5 days

How far along? 34 weeks, 5 days

Total weight gain: 22 lbs total

Maternity clothes? A few tops, but still just wearing a size up or squeezing into old tops with the big belly :)

Stretch marks?  Not yet

Sleep: Same

Best moment this week: At the check-up today I found out that I am dilated 1 cm, at -1 station and 70% effaced!  They said this is normal and a good sign that he won’t go too late, therefore, I’m less likely to need an induction.  Makes me so excited!!  Worst part was finding out that for the first time I am measuring a little small (33cm instead of 34-35cm).  They said it is probably because the baby is dropping (he has dropped 2 cm) but to make sure they are going to do an ultrasound next week to check on him.  Either way, I know God is forming our little baby just the way he is supposed to be!

Miss Anything? Being able to get out of bed easily

Movement: Tons

Food cravings:  Sweets

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope

Labor Signs: Braxton Hicks, dilating and effacing

Symptoms: same old stuff

Belly Button in or out?  Out!

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy

Looking forward to:  Seeing our little baby at the ultrasound next week!  I was hoping to get one more before he was born to make sure the gender is correct.  I have heard of a couple people being told they were having boys and finding out around 32 weeks that it was really a girl!  That would be nuts!  And I just want to hear that he is doing great-that’s all that matters to me!



33 Weeks

Rocking the bump at 33weeks, 5 days :)

(thanks for the cute shirt mom)

32 Weeks

32 weeks, 5 days (and sick with a nasty cold!)

How far along? 32 weeks, 5 days

Total weight gain: 18.5 lbs total

Maternity clothes? Not really, but I’ve realized I really hate shopping.  I need to switch to all fitted tops because the loose ones make me look HUGE!!

Stretch marks?  Not yet

Sleep: Good, but I wake up almost every morning around 4:00 and can’t go back to sleep for about an hour because he is kicking so much.  I think maybe it’s good practice for when he gets here.

Best moment this week: These last couple weeks have been great!  Amanda surprised me with a visit!!!  I had no clue that she had been planning that with Landon and I thought I was hallucinating when she woke me up in my room!  It was so good to see her-miss her already! Then I got to celebrate Lyndsay and Beth’s 30^th down at the Oregon Coast (super fun), go to Mikhail’s wedding and this week had the BEST baby shower ever!   Ashley did such an amazing job with everything, the decorations were so cute!  Thanks Ash and mom for a great shower, and everyone else that helped out too! We got so many amazing gifts; it took me forever to open them!  I felt so blessed to have so many friends and family members there to celebrate our little boy. :)

Miss Anything? Being able to get out of bed easily

Movement: I’m starting to worry he is going to be hyperactive…

Food cravings:  Sweets in general.  Cinnabons, rice crispy treats, ice-cream, the list goes on.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope

Labor Signs: Braxton Hicks

Symptoms: still have heartburn, but it’s not as bad.  And I’m just getting huge, growing every day!

Belly Button in or out?  Pretty much out now- really weird looking

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy and blessed

Looking forward to:  Finishing up in the nursery.  Everything should be here and set up in the next couple weeks!

A few shower pics....



31 Weeks

Instead of a chalkboard picture this week I am posting the maternity pictures Donell took of us over at our house.  I didn't really want to or plan on getting maternity pictures but I am glad she talked me into it.  She told me it would be nice to look back on, and honestly, she did a great job!! :)  Here are a few...31 weeks pregnant..
