33 weeks Pregnant Yesterday!!!

WOW only 7 weeks to go until my due date. We just moved into our new place and are trying to get all settled in. Mommy has been extremely tired and can't wait to get everything unpacked. I've been experiencing a lot of pain in the lower one side of my stomach. Like if I drive Daddy's stick shift car everytime I lift up my left foot to put it on the clutch I have pain. Or after sitting down when I stand up I have pain in that side. It's annoying and really hurts!!! I am really nervous to be a mom yet excited. I hope I'm the best mom ever!!! I can't wait to see who you look like and what your personality is.

MOVING DAY

So this past weekend Mommy & Daddy moved into a new place. We're trying to get all settled in before you arrive which is going to be tough. It's a small place but will do just fine for the 3 of us and Zeus & Zoey (Your older brother & sister) They are going to love you. I just hope they don't always try to lick you. It was really hard for Mommy to help with moving and ever since then I've been extremely tired. But it was all worth it. And all the late nights staying up unpacking boxes will be worth it in the end. Can't wait for you to arrive!!! Still really nervous. I have no idea what's in store for me.

32 weeks pregnant

Here I am 32 weeks pregnant in Grandma's backyard. Daddy was working so I had Grandma take a few photos b/c I'm determined to get a photo each month I'm pregnant with you.
This week has been pretty hard for Mommy. I have been extremely uncomfortable because you are constantly either what feels like sitting on my bladder or sitting right behind my rib cage.
Here is the belly shot of Mommy at 32 weeks pregnant. WOW is all I can say. It's getting sooo... darn big. What is going to happen the next 2 months. I really hope you continue to grow but not make Mommy's belly too much bigger. hahahaha... hey Mommy can hope.

31 weeks and still growing...

So this past Wednesday I became 31 weeks pregnant. Oh how things are changing. Daddy and I are trying to move into our own place before you arrive. My belly continues to grow and grow. And getting around on a regular basis is becoming harder and harder. Just standing up is exhausting to me!!! Sitting in the same position in the movie theater is uncomfortable. It's just getting harder but it's all worth it. I can't believe you're so close to coming into our lives. I hope I do well with the labor and delivery. I am nervous for that. I waited to long to register for birthing classes and guess what they are almost all full until after your due date. I managed to find one I can take but am unsure if Daddy can come to all the classes with me b/c of work. I'm hoping he'll be able to come to them all.

Mother's Day

My first Mother's Day. I don't necessarily consider myself a Mom yet but I guess I am b/c you are alive inside of my belly. Daddy got me a really cute card that brought tears to my eyes. We are off for a week vacation that I am so excited about. I really could use a break. I'll upload the card when I can.

Doctors Appointment...

So I had a Doctors appointment this morning. Everything went really well. I'm 30 weeks along and have gained 11 pounds so far. My last appointment was a month ago and since then I have gained 4lbs. which is what they say is good at this point. (a pound a week) My next appointment is in 2 weeks instead of a month which means that we're getting closer to my due date. I am excited yet nervous about the birth and also nervous for whether I'm ready for this or not. I want to be the BEST mom!!!

30 weeks...

Today I am 30 weeks pregnant!!! Only 10 more weeks until my due date. I cannot believe I am going to give birth to you in a little over 2 months. I have noticed in this past week that I have been getting very irritated with things and people. Pre-pregnancy I would be irritated with something but I was able to control my feelings/anger but now (OH MY GOODNESS) it is so hard to bite my tongue and not say what I really want to. This has got to be the hormones!!! I don't like it at all. I don't like being angry and irritated all the time. I hope I don't have 10 more weeks of being like this. Other than being irritable I am also very very very uncomfortable all of the time now. I have NO muscles in my stomach anymore so even pulling myself up out of bed is hard, I usually just roll off of the bed. I am extremely tired. My belly button is almost flat with the rest of my stomach. (Looks like over the next 2 months I might get an outie! I have registered for things that I think Daddy and I will need for you once you arrive. I hope we'll get the things that we'll need. We registered at BabysRus & Target. It was a lot of fun.

This week you weigh about 3lbs. and are about 17 inches long. We are thinking that you will be an 8 pound baby b/c I was 8lbs. 2oz. and Daddy was 8lbs. 6oz. I hope you'll be a little smaller but I guess we'll have to wait to find out.

29 Weeks Today!!!

Another week has passed. I can't believe there are only 11 more weeks until my due date. I can't wait to meet you. I really wish we knew what we were going to name you. But we're still trying to decide. There is so much we still need and so much we still need to plan to be ready for you. As these weeks keep passing I keep telling myself I need to get ready already!!! Anyway, right now I'm sick, some sort of cold with a sore throat thing. It's awful. Makes me more tired then I already am. Sleeping at night is getting more and more uncomfortable and I'm waking up more often throughout the night to go to the bathroom. So frustrating, but worth the hastle for you.

28 week Update of Mommy and photos too!!!

Here are some photos that Daddy took of me today....






The last couple of days have been really rough on Mommy. At night I just can't get comfortable and I have been waking up multiple times throughout the night (although maybe you're just trying to prepare me for when you come). My lower back has been aching and for some reason at night I feel as though I have growing pains behind my knee. It's odd. Anyway, I definately am getting bigger. But I'm not gaining as much weight as I thought by looking at myself. At my last doctors appointment I asked the nurse what I weighed when I first came in and then what I weighed that day and Mommy has only gained 7lbs. Anyway, I know this last semester I'll stack on some real weight but I guess that's just part of the process.

My family at the Ultrasound....

Here's a photo from this past weekend of Aaron, myself, my step-mom, my dad, my Aunt Karen, and my Grandma at our Ultrasound appointment to see our son in 3D. It was really great having them there. They even brought party hats and treats!!!

Introducing.........

the newest member of our Family....
Well here you are. Yesterday we went and had a 3D ultrasound of you. We were so excited to see what you looked like but all you wanted to do was sleep!!!! We couldn't get you to move at all. This is about the best shot we got. Notice your hand above your head and yes, that's right, your resting your head on your foot. Doesn't look comfortable at all to me but you seemed to be enjoying it just fine.
Here was Daddy's favorite shot. A photo of your manhood. He was so proud. The lady doing the ultrasound was like, "Well it's for sure a boy!"
You just kept sleeping and sleeping!!! We tried to shake my belly to wake you up but you didn't seem to mind much at all. You yawned a bunch of times but would quickly get back into a comfy position and fall back to sleep. (Let's hope you're like that when you're born.) Most of the shots looked like this!!! You didn't work very well with us at all. You're flexible in my belly that's for sure. Most of the photos you had both of your feet stretched over your head. Too bad the ultrasound place isn't open at 10pm. when you're the most active. It was amazing to get a glimpse of what you're going to look like though. Although I was sad we didn't get a straight on shot the whole process was amazing.

27 weeks...

Today I am 27 weeks pregnant with you. Feeling good, but depressed about getting bigger and bigger. I just hope my body goes back to normal one day! This week has some really exciting events in it: Today I'm going with Daddy to check out one of the Hospitals we're considering having you at, Friday we're going to a doctors appointment to get you all checked out, & Saturday we're going to go do a 3D Ultrasound. I'm so excited to see you!!! I'll post photos this weekend.

26 weeks today!!!

6 & 1/2 MONTHS!!! You are another week older today... You continue to kick inside of my belly which I love to feel. We still have no idea what we are going to name you!!! We haven't even narrowed it down to certain names. We're just not sure. Naming you only happens once and we want to take our time deciding. Daddy wants something original and he has come up with a lot of unique names. Hopefully you'll like what we decide on. I'm feeling great, just tired and a little depressed that I'm getting larger and larger everyday now. But I guess it's o.k. I mean it's all for you right?

26 Weeks Gestation
Length: 14.0 inches
Weight: 1 lb. 14 oz.
-Your eyes are completely formed and he is aware of light and darkness. He will turn his head or close his eyes in response to bright light.

Your 1st Trip to Cali

Here you are at 25.5 weeks old at The Happiest Place on Earth (AKA Disneyland) I was perfectly fine from 9am. until about 2pm. but when 2pm. hit my back started to hurt from walking around so much. It's amazing how when being pregnant your back can hurt so much. It's as if bones in my lower back are just hitting eachother over and over again with every step I take. (And I'm not even that big yet) Oh well. We had a blast and I'm sure you did too!!!
Here is your 1st trip to Huntington Beach. It was freezing!!! Mommy is getting so big, this photo sure shows that off.

25 weeks...

Today I am 25 weeks pregnant with you. We are still completely undecided on your name at this point. But we enjoy watching my belly before bed time to see you move around in there. While I'm at work I feel you kick my belly too. It's neat. My bellybutton is beginning to come to the surface which is really odd looking to Mommy. I still feel as though my stomach is stretching and I get feelings of tightness in there sometimes. I just set a time for our 3-D ultrasound which will be on the 18th of April. I can't wait to see what/who you look like if we're able to tell. Today my pregnancy book says that you are a pound and a half. You're getting big but still have a lot of growing to do. Just don't stretch me out too big o.k.? hahaha... Anyway, I'm so excited for the ultrasound. I feel like I haven't seen you in a long time and I know this will be a very emotional time for Mommy and Daddy to see you in 3-D. Our friends say that after their children were actually born and they looked back at the 3-D photos they got you can definately tell they are the same baby so this will be like seeing you before you're born!!! I know I will cry.

6 months pregnant today!!!

Well I'm officially 24 weeks pregnant as of today. You are now kicking like crazy in my belly. I was so nervous for so long b/c I hadn't felt you kick but then all of a sudden over the weekend you did it!!! It was really exciting for me. And now that you figured out how to do it you're really having fun in there. My belly is growing more and more every day. Literally I feel as though I look bigger and bigger in the matter of hours sometimes. I am tired ALL OF THE TIME!!! I'm really over that but I guess that's not bad being my only symptom. Here are some photos Aaron took of me tonight after I got home from work. I haven't been good with taking any pregnancy pictures so from here on out every month we're taking some!!!

You have Started to KICK!!!

So I only got video of one little kick but if you watch close enough you will see it. I saw and felt your first kick yesterday. Of course when I've got the camera out you stop moving around for me. FRUSTRATING!!! But anyway we got one kick for the blog. Now that I can see them I just lay on my back and watch. The feeling is really cool. I can't believe you are growing inside of me. This is so neat. Such a miracle. I LOVE IT!!!

23 weeks and counting...

So another week has come and gone. Not too much has happened this week. I'm really excited for next Wednesday because then I'll be 6 months Pregnant with you!!! I have this cool book that describes what is going on in my body with you every week that goes by and this week it says that you are 1 pound and 8 inches from your head to your bum. That's not including your little legs, and legs are probably just as long as your body don't you think? Anyway my belly is definately growing. A guy I work with says I still don't look pregnant I just look a little chunky. Which I think is AWFUL!!! I'd rather just look pregnant. I don't think I've gained weight really anywhere else then my belly though. My last doctors appointment which was last week was the first week I actually GAINED WEIGHT!!! I had been losing weight until becoming 22 weeks pregnant. I had NO MORNING SICKNESS my entire pregnancy so I am thrilled. I have been starting to eat more and more though so I need to really start watching what I'm putting in my mouth.

22 weeks...

Today you are another week older. Not too much going on this past week except mommys first experience in life with heartburn. Daddy and I went out for pizza with Grandpa and moments after leaving my stomach and chest were in pain! Ouch, no fun at all. I will not be eating at that pizza place again until after you are born. I am feeling more and more stretches and tears almost inside my body. They are not very pleasant but I'm sure they are needed in order to get my belly big enough to hold you for these next 18 weeks. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow so I am excited for that. Something to finally look forward to. I wish I were having an ultrasound, but I'm not!!! FROWN...

You're 21 weeks today...

It's amazing how time sometimes feels like it is going by sooo... fast but then at times seems like it is going by so slow too. I am waiting to be far enough along to go in and get a good 3-D/4-D video of you. I hear if you go between 25-28 weeks you get the best photos so I'm trying to be patient. My belly is growing. I'm still able to fit in normal pants but my belly button is starting to not be such an innie anymore. It's really odd. I feel like my eye sight is not as great as normal. I feel like when I'm at work on the computer my eyes strain to see things sometimes. I have heard that can happen when you're pregnant so maybe that's what it is. I also worry maybe it's from when I had my Migraines. I had so many there so fast and that's when my eyes started bugging out on me. Sort of has me a little concerned. But I hope everything is o.k. I am still waiting to feel you inside of me. I sometimes feel like maybe there's something but I want to have no doubt in my mind that it's you I feel. I go to the doctor again on March 13th. I always am excited for doctors visits.
