36weeks!


One mouth until her D-date!! 


How far along? 36 weeks!

Total weight gain/loss: 26+ pounds and surprisingly holding steady! I couldn't believe it at our appointment on Friday! Doc says we're measuring right on time also which is good! 


Stretch marks? Nothing, but I feel like my belly button is going to blow open! It itches so bad! My skin is definitely getting tighter :(  
Sleep: I'm getting less and less during the week...
Best moment this week: Happening right now!Spending some good quality time with my one and only! Ryan finally has a weekend off! He's been so busy with work and school!
Symptoms: Out of control acid reflux, back and hip pain, nausea here and there and digestive issues..... 
Miss Anything? I miss not getting so tired at work!:( I feel like a baby and I love working/making money but all I wanna do is go home, put my feet up and nap! 
Movement: Still lots of movement! My app said this should of slowed by now, but not with this girl! Shes still a mover and a groover all the time! I absolutely love it! Definitely the best part of pregnancy!
   


Food cravings: Fruit and Chocolate!  
Anything making you queasy or sick: Too much sugar! I know when I have reached my limit!
Worst moment this week: It was definitely telling my boss last week that I will not be returning full-time after my maternity leave, but hopefully on-call or just Saturdays. I feel so blessed that this can even be an option for us, but am going to miss the people I work with and my job so much! I honestly feel like I just now am getting the hang of it too. With that being said I'm sooo excited to spend my days with her and just focus on being a mamma:) 
Labor Signs: Still nothing, which is making me think shes going to come late.
 

Belly Button in or out? 
 Still flesh with the skin! 

Rings off or on?  My wedding ring is off and I hate it! It feels so awkward! 

Happy or Moody most of the time: Moody!! 

Looking forward to: Still just wanting the time to go by so I can meet her and love on her!! Oh and I'm looking forward to all of the friends and family coming in June to meet her!:) 

Baby Girls Nursery!<3








It sure is a small thing but really its all we need and I LOVE the way it turned out! Yes we are using a play pin for her bed when she gets bigger and yes the curtain is a Costco blanket, also the colors are a little all over the place......some of the things if we were back home and weren't trying to buy less and save more that would be a little different. All in all I'm proud of how little we spent and how quaint it is!

34weeks!

Six weeks until we meet our sweet pea!! 


How far along? 34 weeks!


Total weight gain/loss: 26+ pounds!! and honestly I'm trying to not stress about my weight. They say that you should shoot between 25-30 pounds of weight gain, but I know every women and baby are different! I just want her healthy!


Stretch marks? Still nothing:) 
Sleep: Week 33 the insomnia along with terrible acid reflux came in full swing! Ever since then getting sleep has been rough!  
Best moment this week: Finishing up getting everything we need for baby girl! The list is now tiny and that is so exciting and such a relief! Thanks to a ton of family and friends we didn't need to buy much!
Symptoms: The struggle of the third trimester is real....That's all I'm gonna say.
Miss Anything? I'm missing a day without digestive issues, body aches and lack of energy!  
Movement: Still all the time! She loves putting her tiny feet in my rib cage and its soooo uncomfortable and she loves the right side of my body! 

Food cravings: Sweets all day everyday!! 
Anything making you queasy or sick: Yesterday I had morning sickness all day!! WTF!?! Its been coming in swings randomly.
Have you started to show yet: Yep! ya can't miss me comin a mile away.
Labor Signs: Nothin!
 

Belly Button in or out? 
 It's now flesh with the skin!!!! Yikes!

Rings off or on? Officially off! and I miss it so much! Everything is getting so puffy and swollen!:(

Happy or Moody most of the time: It all depends on the symptoms I'm having at the time! I'll tell ya now its rear that I don't have any! 

Looking forward to: I'm ready to hold and love on her!<3

In summary of this blog post I just want to say that I'm the first to admit that I'm the biggest baby ever!! (feel bad for Ryan)...Some people just aren't cut out for 
pregnancy and I am one of them.... (to all the women including my mother that say they LOVED being pregnant...You are crazy) With that being said I wouldn't trade this experience for the world and I know its all going to be more than worth it in the end!! <3

Stretch marks? Still none!
Sleep: Still not bad, its starting to get really hard to change positions and get up out of bed to pee 8 times though! (The 8 times is not an exaggeration!)   
Best moment this week: Going home!! Seeing friends and family! and our shower was perfect! 
Symptoms: The biggest thing these past two weeks has been feeling sore and body aches.
Miss Anything? I miss bending over without feeling like I'm going to die due to lack of oxygen!

 Almost an outie!!!! 

Happy or Moody most of the time: Moody with extreme highs and lows!

Looking forward to: Getting the rest of the stuff we need for baby girl!

Ryan's aunt was so sweet to take some maternity pictures for us! Initially I just really wanted a few of us with the bump, but she went above and 
beyond! She put me in a beautiful long dramatic dress that I loved! It was the worst time of day and not the best location due to lack of time and she still knocked it out of the park! I highly recommend her for pictures at http://www.cindyblumensheinphotography.com/  I'm still in shock of the quality of these pictures when I zoom in and crop them! I can't wait to see the rest! More to come!





DIY book shelves! Just a fun pinterest project! Got the spice racks from Ikea, painted them and slapped them on the wall! Then we got to put all the books we got from our shower in them!:) LOVE it!
I can't wait to post all our shower details!
