30 Weeks!!!

I had my most recent doctors appointment. I passed my glucos test!! With flying colors I may add. Doc said I am very anemic so I have to start taking an additional iron pill from the pharmacy. Not a big deal. I could tell, I was getting more tired which could have been a mix of low iron and just basically being pregnant. She also said, our little guy is small. Which right now isn't a bad thing, but they want to start monitoring how he is growing. After my July appointment I have to go every 2 weeks. If he is still small at my 36th week she wants to do another ultrasound. Im not to worried. Kyle and I are not that big. A small baby could be a good thing, for delivery I mean. All I am worried about is he is healthy and strong!  Oh man! Its getting close!!! 10 more weeks to go!!!




How far along? 30 weeks
Total weight gain: 17-20 lbs! I need to start watching what im eating and drinking. Im also trying, a BIG trying, to stay away from pop and drink more water.
Maternity clothes? I think I'm going to need some more :/...this belly is getting bigger by the day! That or more dresses!!!
Stretch marks? Still none!
Sleep: It's ok still...with some weird dreams!
Best moment this week: Seeing the shower invitations! It was supposed to be a surprise BUT thats ok, I feel better knowing the theme :) Sorry Krissy, Jody & Ally!
Miss anything? Sleeping on my stomach...as always! Sleeping on my sides makes it feel like my stomache is heavier than it is. NOT comfortable.
Movement: He is partying away! I call him our little ninja ;)
Food cravings: Popsicles. I may have to start getting the sugar free kind :|
Gender: BOY!
Labor signs: none!
Symptoms: Swelling! No matter what I do my ankles and feet are HUGE
Belly button in or out? In! I have a feeling mine is not going to pop. Doc said I have a deep belly button
Happy or moody most of the time? More happy than moody. Some things crack me up...I was CRYING with laughter watching americas got talent the other night....Watch the video. The quality is bad because it was recorded on my phone but I seriously was crying...Kyle and I have also been a little goofy. A pet peeve of mine is in couples pictures. When a man holds their pregnant wife, girlfriend, baby momma's, whatever it may be stomache in EVERY single picture. We were joking around and decided to do one of our own. I LOVE this picture! I think its hysterical!
It's just a joke and We had fun doing it :)
Looking forward to: My shower in July and finding my shower dress! I may have Ally make this for me... found on Pinterest

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

He is here!!! :)

Image
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

37 Weeks...FULL TERM!!!

Image
I cried on the way to work. NOT because I am unhappy, that is not the case by any means, BUT because TODAY I am considered FULL TERM!!! ♥ HOLY CRAP! I cannot believe this has gone by so fast! I am going enjoy this huge belly, swollen feet, heartburn after drinking water, high blood pressure, and EVERYTHING else comes along in the next couple weeks because I’m pretty sure we are going to have a HEALTHY & I’m sure pretty HANDSOME little man!!! :) ♥ FULL TERM! My due date is still 3 weeks away so I know that doesn’t mean a lot, but it gives some peace of mind. This little man could be born anytime now with lungs mature enough to likely be just fine. I’ll take the 3 extra weeks though! I’m figuring I’ll get 4 more weeks with this little one. Resources say he weighs around 6.5 lbs and is 19 – 20 inches long.   My ribcage is expanding to make space for all those squished organs. I’m seriously running out of clothes that fit. Even maternity clothes barely fit. Most shirts aren’t
