My Best Friend ♥

6 years ago today I was at Jes' parents house celebrating his birthday along with his Grandma Sharon's and Aunt Wendy's. Jes' Grandpa Jack was a musician and passed away 15 years ago, and Grandma Sharon played a recording of him singing Happy Birthday to the 3 of them. There wasn't a dry eye in the room... then Jes got up and went upstairs, which I thought was to just be alone after hearing his Grandpa's voice, but then he came back downstairs got on one knee in front of his entire family and asked me to marry him!!! I'm so glad I said yes!!! I couldn't be any happier with him and where we're at in our lives right now. He is an amazing husband and father and a very hard worker!!! I don't know where I would be without him, but I thank my lucky stars we ended up together!!!

As I sit here at 4am huge pregnant with our 2nd child in Yuma, Arizona I just look back at all we've accomplished and it makes me that much more proud to be his wife. It's all his goals that have gotten us where we are today!!!

I love you babe!!! ♥

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

jinx it!!!

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..

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..
