Week 29........

Wowzers, belly is getting bigger and so goes the belly button! My thinking...they must have my due date wrong because there isnt anyway this is going to be functional 2 more months! Even my yoga, pajama, work out pants are no longer fitting!! This pair in the picture better hold out a few more weeks..or I will be wearing my maternity jeans to bed! haha...
Im getting so excited, I got a few things for Baby Girl at Christmas..a baby bjourn carrier, crib bedding...changing table (found off craigslist), piggy bank, lots of outfits, 3 Eric Carle books & bins for the changing table! I can only imagine Christmas once shes actually here.
She continues to roll around in bliss all day long, I LOVE feeling her. :) The past few nights she hasnt been up kicking all night which makes this mama really happy in the morning.
Her wrinkling skin is smoothing out this week as more fat is deposited under her skin AND her buds for permanent teeth are forming under her gums!

Next on the agenda this week: MATERNITY PLANS, boo! My goal is to have them finished by Friday....we'll see what happens.

Cravings: grapes, carrots......all veggies really. this week we are trying to go meat free..red meat has been a big turn off lately.

In case I dont get to update before Sunday..

Merry Christmas!!!!

Don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.

28 Weeks 5 days..

Sorry I havent been updating as often... now that Im on Christmas break I can get everyone up to date! I entered into the 3rd trimester this week! wooohooo, not much longer until we get to meet our baby girl :) She is moving around ALL day...luckily at night she is allowing me to get some rest! "They" say the final trimester is back to to feeling uncomfortable and tired...I am def starting to feel uncomfortable...lots of back pain...braxton hicks etc. but Im trying not to focus all my energry on that and keep moving! Prenatal yoga has helped tremendously and I am still forcing myself into the gym both of which make me feel 100% better. This past week David and I went to a prenatal partner yoga class, this class was GREAT! Our instructor showed us somethings to do with the birthing ball, stretches we can do together (which D actually likes too) and overall brought us one step closer in the birthing process. :)

Baby girl is approximately 15 inches head to toe and weighs approx 2.5 lbs. I on the other hand have gained a total of 20 lbs now!, weighing in at 140lbs!!! WOW, never thought Id see that number on the scale ;) Hoping Im not lectured at the doctor because I am techinally only supposed to gain 25 total. Oh well, as long as she is healthy and kicking what can I do?!

Something I feel like I should share....
In the past my sister Susan had always told me "you just wait until your become a mom...you NEVER stop worrying...its constant...you always think of what bad could happen" I would always laugh at her because she'd going around her house a million times making sure all windowns/doors were locked...she'd call if I had the boys at the beach and remind me they could only go so far..I knew it wasnt me she didnt trust she was just being worried. Now I get it, I have always said my prayers..maybe not as often as I should but I believe everything is out of my power..and God is in control. So now as I enter into motherhood I am constantly praying..talking to to God just asking to please keep my family safe & healthy. The more I pray the more I realize okay there isnt a point in worrying...whatever is supposed to happen will and its out of our control...which is VERY comforting :)

26 Weeks!

This updating is hard to keep up with! These days seem to flyyyy by! Anyway, all is well in the prego world :) I went to the Dr. Wednesday and met Dr. Robison. I kinda hope he delivers because I really like him the best so far. Baby girls hb was 148-152, she is measuring right on schedule and I am GROWING! I currently weigh 137 lbs so Ive gained 16 lbs so far...6 being in the past month. Im upping my exercise ( as if that will help..) but it makes me feel better and is healthier for her. We are settled in our new home, hosted Thanksgiving this past weekend which was a blast! Baby Girl got LOTS of yummy food from Daddy's cooking to Mikes Farm! It has been AWESOME having David home every night, I havent cooked once yet and its so nice having help around the house.
