35 weeks...

How far along?

35 weeks

Weight gain/loss:

I've gained 21 lbs... that was as of

3 weeks ago though... I have another

appointment on Tuesday so I'm sure

I've gained more...

Maternity Clothes:

Nothing new... lately I've just been wearing

Jes' shirts... they're comfy and cover my belly!

Sleep:

Well... it seems as though I jinxed myself..

I'm now having quite the time getting good

sleep. I'm very uncomfortable and somewhat

nervous sleeping on our brand new bed

in fear of my water breaking!!!

Stretch marks:

They haven't gone anywhere!

Best moment of the week:

Seeing how happy Jes and Jackson were

to attend the Subway Fresh Fit race in Phoenix..

Movement:

Lots... it seems like he's slowing down

a little though as he gets into birthing position..

Food cravings:

Every morning I wake up craving plain cheerios

with cut up bananas in it... YUMMM!!!

Through-out the day I feel the need for ho ho's

and nutty bars...

Gender:

BOY!!!

Labor Signs:

None really... just feeling miserable having

him be so low... walking is nearly impossible at

this point and with a 3 1/2 year old to chase around,

that's difficult!!!

Belly Button In or Out?

Still out...

What I miss:

A good nights sleep and being able to walk more than 5 feet

without hurting!!! haha

What I'm looking forward to:

My doctor's appointment on Tuesday and Jackson

getting better... (He woke up this morning with a gunky,

swollen shut eye... I took him in and it's pink eye and an ear

infection... An eyedrop in each eye every 2 hours isn't easy

by myself.. he hates them!!! Speaking of which... it's been 2 hours

again... ahhhhhhhhh)

34 Weeks

How far along?

34 Weeks

Weight Gain/Loss:

I just go off of what the scale at

the Dr's office says.. haven't had

another appt yet..

Maternity Clothes:

Nothing new...

Sleep:

I've actually been sleeping

really good!!! Hopefully this doesn't

jinx it!!!

Stretch Marks:

Yup... haha

Best Moment of the week:

Playdates at the park.. we went to

a couple this week.

Movement:

He's a busy little boy!!!

Food Cravings:

Tacos still

Gender:

Boy

Labor Signs:

Well.. today at Lowe's Build and Grow

with Jackson I was sitting in one of their

aisles helping him build his racecar and tried

stand back up wearing flip flops and slipped

instead... I landed halfway on a 5 gallon

bucket of paint then to the ground... Got some

nice Braxton Hicks going on at the moment...

Belly Button In or Out?

Still out, but not sticking out as much since

he's dropped...

What I miss:

My brain... haha I feel like I'm forgetting EVERYTHING!!

What I'm looking forward to:

The Nascar race in Phoenix tomorrow and

spending quality time with Jes & Jackson..

33 Weeks!!!

How far along?

33 weeks

Weight Gain/Loss:

21 lbs now.. pretty good I think...

Maternity Clothes:

Nothing new.. just trying to make the most

of what I've got already.

Sleep:

Well, last night I watched a 5 month

old over night, so I didn't get the greatest sleep,

plus I've been having pregnancy

insomnia!!! I guess my body is getting me

ready for lack of sleep??

Stretch Marks:

They aren't as bad as I remember

with Jackson..

Best Moment of the week:

Our lunch date at Olive Garden with

one of Jackson's buddies and his parents.

Movement:

I think he's running out of room... he still

moves a lot, but it's less than what it was when he

seemed to be doing flips..

Food Cravings:

Tacos, Pizza... goodies!!!

Gender:

BOY!!!

Labor Signs:

He dropped quite a bit in the past couple weeks

and has made it extremely uncomfortable to walk.

I went to the Dr on Tuesday and he predicted he

will be here in 4 weeks... I guess we'll see what

plans Jacob's got.. Middle of March sounds good to

me though!!!

Belly Button In or Out?

Since he's dropped quite a bit, it doesn't stick out

as much, but it's still out there..

What I miss?

Energy for sure...

What I'm looking forward to:

Nascar race at the Phoenix International Raceway next Sunday..

post the magic number on next Saturday's post.

Maternity Clothes:

The shirt I'm wearing in the picture above

was purchased at Kmart in Walla Walla...

I can wear it after the baby comes though too..

It's not maternity technically..

My sister NaDell sent me home with some new

tops and pants too!!! Thanks!!!

Sleep:

Yes please!!! I slept wonderfully in my own bed for the

first time in 8 days last night!!!

Stretch Marks:

questioning when he sleeps

too much...

Getting Ready for Jacob!!!

Taken New Years Eve... he's getting big!!
Car Seat + Crib + Bouncer = BABY TIME!!!

Good thing about having another boy.. we had all the bedding and accessories from Jackson!!!

I LOVE IT!!!

I'm nearing 7 months pregnant and the planner in me wants things to be getting done... we have the whole empty room and everything to go in it, so why not get it together?! Jackson and I are flying home to Washington from February 4-11th and when we get back there won't be a whole lot of time, so I'm so happy to have the crib up and ready!!! I've been feeling a lot of braxton hicks... they are very painful already, maybe I'm just a whiner. Oh well.. it's allowed, it's not exactly comfortable!!! I've gained a total of 14 pounds and the doctor says I'm doing great!!! YAY!!!
