Week 34 Pregnancy Update

By -

I can't believe there's only six weeks left!

How Far Along? 34 weeks
Total Weight Gain: 23 lbs
Maternity Clothes? Yep, although Josh's clothes are becoming more and more comfortable. (I'm wearing his shirt and basketball shorts here) :)
Stretch Marks? Tons! The stretch marks on my stomach have started going up over the top of my belly button. I think I'd be doing a lot worse with this if Josh wasn't so sweet about it.
Sleep: I've been sleeping through the night just fine lately but I've been having really bizarre dreams though...
Best Moment This Week: Finally plugging in my Fresh Balsam wallflowers from Bath and Body Works! My house is smelling more like winter and I love it!
Miss Anything? I saw a picture of my stomach at 17 weeks and I had no stretch marks and I had barely any bump. Lets just say, I've been mourning my pre-pregnancy body this week.
Movement: Lots! He's kicking me a ton while I'm writing this post. My doc said he would be slowing down by now but he's not. I'm relishing in every moment because I know I'm going to miss it!
Food Cravings: Nothing in particular, really.
Anything Making You Queasy or Sick? Eggs, fish and peppermint.
Gender: Boy
Labor Signs: None!
Symptoms: I've had lots of braxton hicks contractions and he has finally dropped a little so I can breathe better! (YAY!!!)
Belly Button In or Out: Very much out.
Wedding Ring On or Off? It depends on the day.
Happy or Moody? Its hard to say if I was more of either this week.
Looking Forward To? My doctors appointment on Monday!

I'm DYING to have everything done! I'm to the point of I just want to have my baby showers (I'm SO excited for those by the way...) and get everything set up for Lincoln. My nesting instinct is going like crazy but I can't do anything until they are done.

I'm so done being pregnant! Its been SO long since we found out we were pregnant and I feel like its never ending! Josh and I were engaged for 10 months so you'd think I'd be fine with waiting but I'm ready to be done. :) Hopefully the time will pass quickly...

Thanks for reading!

Something Terrible Happened

By -
I'm not sure exactly how to start this post, but I know it needs to be written. I don't want to forget this experience even though it feels so painful. Last week, I was a little over 4 weeks along and my prenatal vitamins came in the mail. I was diligently making a pregnancy test chart to compare the darkness of the test lines from the day before. I was feeling so much better than I did before our pregnancy loss last year (the second line was visible for a day and then the line disappeared and my cycle started soon after) since the test line was clearly visible, even from an arms length away. The day after I started my vitamins, I noticed that my nausea had basically gone away, something I was thrilled about since I hate feeling sick like that. My skin started breaking out worse than it had all week and I chalked it up to pregnancy hormones. We had my in-laws over for Mother's Day and just before we started cooking up S'mores, I felt a wave of depression hit me. I ...

Three More Weeks

By -
     So Josh and I finally saved enough to make one of our dreams come true... We are buying a house!       We looked at a grand total of three properties. The first one we looked at we loved, but we found out the day after we looked at it that there is a mold problem that has been going on for the past ten years. We immediately got as far away as possible, and started looking at the properties our realtor sent us through email. We found two more townhomes that looked interesting, so she scheduled the showings.      We looked at them both on October 11th. The first one was an odd layout, it had two bedrooms with a bathroom attached to each one individually (it seemed to be suited better for two college roomies as opposed to a growing family, like us) but we wanted to keep our minds open, just in case the second one of the day was not great either.      The moment we pulled up to the house, I knew it was gonna be really wel...

We Got The Keys!

        We got the keys on Tuesday! It feels so weird to hold the key to our house  in my hands. Its surreal, and I still haven't gotten used to it!      The boys and I went over to collect the keys and garage door openers and it felt so good walking in. I can't believe that its only one more day until we are in our own house! It will be just wonderful!      If I remember, I will take pictures of moving in and I'll make a post! Thanks for reading!
