28 Weeks!!! Almost there!

At 28 weeks I'm feeling really well still!  I can't believe this is the start of the third trimester.  I must be looking quite large though because it seems like recently people have been moving out of the way when they see me coming.  I found some pregnancy survey questions online that I'm going to use for this post.  That way I can get the main details in without forgetting anything.

Due Date: August 21st, 2011

Weeks Pregnant: 28

Weight gain so far: Not much, 10lbs. But im sure the bulk of it is coming... Yikes!

Pregnancy Symptoms: Mainly my symptoms come from just being big at this point.  I have quite a bit of  back pain after I sit on the floor... or any hard surface really.  Sometimes it almost feels better to stand and walk around than to sit because sometimes it seems like I can't get my sitting angle right.  Make sense?  No?  I'm confused too. Other than that, my main pregnancy symptom from the first time around has come back full-force: heartburn! I cannot get rid of it and no matter what I put in my mouth I seem to get it! 
Cravings: Popsicles. I am eating them like crazy... which probably doesn't help my heartburn now that I think about it.  Thats about it. Nothing big yet, but hopefully I dont get the junk food cravings like my sister did...
Sleep: I'm still sleeping decently at this point... though I'm sure I'll be eating my words soon.  Only issue with sleeping is turning. I get pain in my groin area that is NOT a fun pain when trying to get comfortable.
What I miss: Winter.  Not joking. It has been so hot lately its almost umbearable. I hate being hot. It just makes you even more uncomfortable.

What I'm looking forward to: Finishing his room!  We haven't even started but should be starting soon. Im getting excited to decorate!

Milestones: Saying adios second trimester and hola third! My sister, Krissy, also got to feel him kick this weekend!

Goals for the upcoming week(s): To not gain more than a pound a week.. ha!  I also am looking forward to passing my glucos test. Crossing fingers!!!

Movement: Full body, tummy shaking movements.  All day, everyday. He's our little Ninja :)

Gender: boy!
Labor signs: None yet, thank God!

DIY Newborn Shadow Box

Image
  Look what I made! It's a shadowbox filled with Luca's hospital stuff including the outfit he wore home, his first hat, the hospital bracelet, and his birth announcement, ambilical cord { I sealed the cord in plastic and put it in the diaper. Not everyone would want to see it, but I wanted to keep it somehow without losing it.  I love how it turned out! I totally jacked this idea from Pinterest {of course}. But I had to add my own twist to this project, and now I think my box is far superior to the ones I saw online {I might be a tad bias though}. SO you wanna know how I did it? Supplies: - Shadow Box - All your baby Items {i.e. outfilt, diapers, bith announcements, scrapbook supplies, scissors, baby bracelets, hats} - Glue gun - 1 yard of fabric {any color that suits your needs} - scrapbooking embelishments First let me just say that this project was super easy. And cheap, too! I waited till I saw a sale at our local craft store {Pat Cat

I was 30 years old when my boyfriend of 7 years, Kyle, and I found out we were expecting a baby! We were really excited to have a little person that will have a little bit of both of us. I hadn't been experiencing morning sickness,but smells were REALLY bothering me. I wasn't the type to have a "normal" period so we didn't know something was up. After a couple weeks of experiencing the smell sickness I figured, lets try a test...POSITIVE!!! It was a very nerve racking day for us! I had a very normal pregnancy with the occasional aches and pains here and there. Once I reached 39 weeks along, I was absolutely ready to have this little guy. I mean I hadn't gotten huge but very uncomfortable!! I had gained over 30 pounds overall!!  Not many cravings... just the routine need to wake up at 2, 3, and 4 am to use the bathroom. I didn't have many stretch marks, well what weren't there already. The whole time I had been working. Wednesday August 8th came ar

5 Years ago this week...

Today, most of you know, Kyle and I are going to be parents! Im 33 weeks today and we are more ready than the last time. I firmly believe that at that time we were not ready. We are older, more stable in our positions at work, just all around grown up. This is our time and we couldn't be HAPPIER :) Here is our story... {This was written when Facebook didn't exist and Myspace was all the craze. Its past tense, but makes sence} Kyle and I went on vacation on June 29 th through July 7th, 2007. We went on vacation so I could meet my father, Ken. That went ok but… We weren't even there for 3 hours and all hell broke loose.  We started off driving for 20 hours straight. WE WERE TIRED!  We got there and immediately wanted to do everything right then and there. Kyle REALLY wanted to ride the four wheelers so he did. We went to the river, it was up because Oklahoma was getting pounded with rain. Then we went back to the house for about a half hour when everyone wanted to go f
