8 MONTHS

32.5 Weeks! 

How Far Along: 32 weeks or more (8 Months!) Again each dr in the practice says something different and it can be off up to a week, seems weird to me :)

Size of baby: Now baby weighs about 3.75 lbs and is about 16.7 inches long (Pick up a large Jicama)!

Maternity Clothes: Some maternity some regular - everyday my belly seems to be different. It is weird!

Movement: The movement seems to be a lot during the day now, and less at 2AM. Course I am sleeping less and less so I miss the dance parties in the middle of the night!

What I miss: I feel GREAT right now, and in fact probably wouldnt even FEEL pregnant if not for the HARD contractions everytime I try and GET up to do anything :(

Sleep: Sleep is now NONEXISTENT.. Occassionally I will get two or three good hours, but that is few and far between. Nature's way of preparing me for motherhood perhaps.

Symptoms: HEARTBURN, ACID REFLUX and Throwing up AGAIN! GAH. I wish that one would go away!

Cravings: Still LOVING Ice water and COLD fruit. Eating has become really hard, after a few bites I am FULL and then if I try and bend over it immediately sends me to the bathroom. Snacking a little all day long seems to work MUCH better ...

Best Moments this week: Hearing my husby talk about BW. He is SO excited to meet this little baby! As am I, but I feel like I already "know" the baby so hearing my husby talk about it makes it even that much sweeter.


What we are looking forward to:  Finishing up the nursery, going on our Babymoon  NEXT week, to the beach! Meeting this tiny human.

So What Wednesday!

Today I am linking up with Shannon over at L.A.I.D for So What Wednesday!

So What If I ...

- Have been being pretty insane the last couple of days. These pregnancy hormones must have taken over my body. It has been B.A.D! The husband had to comfort me for a long time before he or I could leave the house.

- Am so jealous of all the wonderfully spring.summer clothing options. I am ready to be wearing them again!

- Am scared to death I will never FIT into my regular clothes

- Have been super crazy to the Husband. I see myself doing this and cannot stop myself.

- Have an unhealthy fear of post partem depression - I am hoping the doctors can cure me of this or at least help me prepare for it in case it does happen. I have definately been reading TOO much :)

- Am ready for the weekend, sleeping in (or rather sleeping at all) and preparing the house for baby's arrival.

- Miss the thought of just the two of us and it is still just the two of us. I keep having these, WHAT DID WE GET OURSELVES INTO thoughts! I tell you I am crazy this week!

Head over and link up! With Shannon!

So What Wednesday

Today I am linking up with Shannon over at L.A.I.D for SO WHAT WEDNESDAY!

This week I am So What If :

• I am SICK of trying to find a baby name BOTH of us love - I just want what I want!
• I am DYING for the weather to stay warmer than 80 degrees during the day ...
• I wish I KNEW when the bambino would arrive, it would make my life SO much easier - well work wise :)
• I cannot wait to get an ice cold adult beverage (wine, beer, mixed drink) ... Everyone seems to be enjoying them now that the weather is nice and I miss it!
• I am so pissed at my dogs, this is new, I have NEVER been pissed at them before! Well not this long...OVER a WEEK and everyone of them is testing me, grrr ..
• I refuse to cook anymore, food it NOT appetizing, the husby and I eat completely differently and I am done with it ... I just want my water and fruit!
• The weeks cannot go fast enough but the days need to slow down - that makes sense right??

What are you saying so what too?? Head over to Life After I "Dew" and Link Up

Weeks 30 - 31 or maybe even 32

Sticking to the original 31.5 weeks

How Far Along: 31 weeks ir 32 weeks depending on what day it is and what dr I see:) They all seem to have a different opinion on my due date!

Size of baby: Like the size of FOUR navel oranges - about 16 inches and 3.3 pounds - That seems HUGE already ;-)

Maternity Clothes: Some, mostly regular still. I think I will be needing MORE maternity tops to for length soon

Movement: Still lots of movement, mostly at very specific times. I love being reassured BW is ok in there... Active most often EARLY AM, lunchtime and about 10PM on the dot. Course NOW 2AM there is a dance party in my belly :)

What I miss: I feel GREAT right now, and in fact probably wouldnt even FEEL pregnant if not for the HARD contractions everytime I try and GET up to do anything :(

Sleep: Sleep is now NONEXISTENT.. and apparently now I wake up the Husby and the dogs. I think the dogs are grumpier about it than the husby is though!

Symptoms: HEARTBURN, ACID REFLUX and more heartburn. Plus I feel like a run a marathon everytime I do any sort of walking exspecially UP stairs.

Cravings: Still LOVING Ice water and COLD fruit, with some frozen yogurt thrown in for good luck.

Best Moments this week: My baby shower. Everyone was so sweet to shower BW with so much love. We are so blessed to have so many wonderful family and friends!

What we are looking forward to:  Finishing up the nursery, going on our Babymoon in a few weeks - to the beach! and enjoying these last couple of months weeks as just the two of us! It is hard to wrap our heads around the fact that after 10 years it is going to be not just us anymore. We are EXCITED and super duper NERVOUS! I have a dr appt on Friday so I will be curious if I dialated anymore and if BW is head down and if they will estimate how big BW is at the moment. I like LOTS of details!

Thursday Randoms

• I woke up one day over the weekend and watched this AMAZING sunrise as I was walking the pups. Normally I am up and gone before the sun starts rising so this was amazing to watch!
• I feel like my life right now is all sunshine and roses :) Oh we have bumps in the road but for some reason they are NOT derailing me right now. Hey I am not going to complain - I just feel AMAZINGLY happy. Perhaps it could be pregnancy hormones - or the fact that I am LOVING this experience :)
• We are getting SUPER close to the date the drs will take me OFF my contraction control meds and let me tell you I am SO excited ... The possibility of meeting this sweet baby sooner than later is so EXCITING to me.
• I am in FULL research mode in regards to the whole birthing process. Not gonna lie, I have been birthing "things" my entire life - horses, cows, goats, pigs etc ... I HAVE NEVER GONE THROUGH IT - but I am fairly calm about it. Perhaps this will change.
• I have a shower this weekend, my 2nd one - I feel so blessed to have so many people love on baby W already!
• Making me lists and checking them twice, oh and packing my bags too!
• I am nervous about ONE thing - leaving my animals. I know they will be in good hands, but I feel like they are going to have their worlds shifted as I leave their normal mommy and come home with a strange being ... I hope they adjust well and aren't too shell shocked by the process. I am trying to work with them so the adjustment is easy, but the oldest (bulldog) has been my baby for SO long I think it will hit him hardest! and that makes me want to cry!

I will try and do my weekly update tomorrow! CRAZY how fast the weeks so by!!!

Flying By, Already 29 Weeks!

 

 

How Far Along: 29 ish weeks  (sorry for the bad iPhone pics, the only way I am consistent about adding them to the posts and I definately want to keep track of this adventure)

 

Size of baby: Like a butternut squash (according to Babycenter) about 15 inches and almost 2 1/2 pounds! That seems amazing to me, that a baby that big is in my belly and only going to get bigger and bigger!

Maternity Clothes: Some, mostly regular still. Sometime with belly band sometime without. The outfit above is regular Gap skirt, Target tank and a cardy ...

Movement: Still lots of movement, mostly at very specific times. I love being reassured BW is ok in there... Active most often EARLY AM, lunchtime and about 10PM on the dot. Course NOW 2AM there is a dance party in my belly :)

What I miss: I feel GREAT right now, and in fact probably wouldnt even FEEL pregnant if not for the HARD contractions everytime I try and GET up to do anything :(

Sleep: Sleep has gone DOWNHILL again, mostly due to being WOKEN up now by the dance party in my belly ... Which I LOVE.

Symptoms: HEARTBURN, ACID REFLUX and more heartburn. My sickies have FINALLY gone away! Super happy about that. All the water must have washed them out.

Cravings: Still LOVING Ice water and COLD fruit, pineapple and applesauce this week. Oh and ICE CREAM :) and cookies - That could be bad!

Best Moments this week: The nursery coming together, and realizing BW is going to make an arrival before we know it. I cannot wait to get the bedding I ordered, have to LOVE etsy. Debating on ordering a few more items I have found off etsy, that place is addicting. Husby putting the dresser together last night - it all looks so GREAT. Cannot wait to get some prints on the walls.

What we are looking forward to:  Finishing up the nursery, going on our Babymoon in a few weeks, and enjoying these last couple of months as just the two of us! It is hard to wrap our heads around the fact that after 10 years it is going to be not just us anymore. We are EXCITED and super duper NERVOUS! Update on my dr appt - The drs informed us that an arrival at ANY point from now on is a realization! We are doing EVERYTHING in our power to keep BW IN the belly for as long as possible. However my belly does NOT want to cooperate. So now we are preparing - in case BW makes an early appearance!
