31 weeks!

I totally forgot about writing a post yesterday. I don’t even think it was because I was too busy. I mean, I was pretty busy but I will usually try and make time for it sometime during a quick break in my day. I honestly think it is that pregnancy brain that woman talk about. I feel that starting and a few other things….

Last night in bed I could not get comfortable. I was able to sleep but woke up a lot and was either in pain from my hips or my back. I think I have also been sleeping really tense because a lot of times I will wake up with a headache but it will go away fairly quick.

Today I noticed that I was sooo out of breath walking back from a meeting. The way my office is, we actually have to walk a little ways across a parking lot and down the street to get to our main property. I was walking back by myself today going really slow and thinking how sleepy it was making me. I can really actually start feeling the weight of the baby weighing down my stomach. I cant imagine how I will feel in the coming weeks as he grows bigger!

In other news, we had our baby shower this past weekend and it was beautiful. We were so happy that so many of our friends and family came out. It was in my grandparents backyard…they rented tents, tables and chairs and had sooo much food it was crazy! There ended up being about 35 people that came and my grandmother was so overwhelmed once everyone got there that we didn’t end up having to play any games. That was fine by me. It was nice to visit with everyone, have some cake and proceed to take forever opening all the gifts! I am so happy with how it turned out and so grateful for my grandparents hosting it. I am also glad that it is over! Now, we know what we are missing / did not receive at the shower and can go shopping! That is the part I am looking forward too. We also got two huge bags of clothing from my friend Wendy. She just had a boy about 4 months ago and the timing is perfect for her to be getting rid of things. So far I love so many of the outfits, I just hope he fits in them!

We will be going away this weekend to a cool little lodge in the mountains. This will be our last little getaway before the baby. The place is very nice and I am sure I will have fun but I am also right on the verge of not wanting to do anything. I would be perfectly happy just sleeping, eating and relaxing but my husband it quite the adventurer so we will see how much of that I get away with!

Here is another belly update. It looks so huge when I look at the photos or if I look in the mirror sat my profile, depending on what I am wearing. But, what is weird is that I don’t feel like I am that huge. I mean, certainly when I am out of breath or trying to bend but I mean, just walking through the living room, I almost feel normal. Maybe that is because I have always had a bit of a belly, I don’t know. Also, I feel like even though I have gained quite bit of weight, I can look at myself straight on forward in the mirror and it looks like I still have a normal figure. Maybe I am just telling myself that so I feel better haha

30 weeks!

USince last week we have actually built the crib and I started reading "bringing up bebe". I'm happy that I did two things that I wanted to do. It seems like lately my min is in such a trance that it is hard to remember to do anything.

The crib is super cute! Too bad the baby will most likely sleep next to our bed for a while so he won't even start using the crib right away. But, at least it is ready! Now we have to get everything else ready. I am waiting until after our baby shower this weekend to see what is left to buy. Oh yeah, the baby shower is finally here! I'm excited!

The book I have started to read is very interesting. I'm glad I picked it out of all the many options of baby books. It is about the differences between French and American parenting. I can already see a few things that I will really try to do the French way.

Update on pregnancy... I felt so tired over the weekend and actually got a really bad headache on Sunday after I woke up from a nap. I was pretty much useless for the rest of the day. Not sure why that happened. I have just been feeling tired all around. I can still get through the work day ok and even managed to come home and make a quick dinner tonight but after that I'm done. The plan was to walk and stretch tonight but as soon as I got in the workout room I knew I wasn't up for the walk so I did about 10 mins total of stretching and the res of the time I stayed in there and watched tv just so frank would have some moral support while he actually worked out. 

The only reason why I am even still awake and writing this blog is because this is supposed to be our reading time before bed. We have tried dedicating time at the end of the night so that both of us actual spend some time reading... Otherwise it jus doesn't happen. Tonight it feels like I will just fall asleep if I try to read a sentence!

We also have another OB appt in the morning since we are on the 2 week schedule now. Seems like all is going well so should just be a quick check up! 

Here is the belly photo... It really is getting in the way at this point haha

Oh and here is our cute crib!

29 weeks! (a day late)

Ok this little guy is super active! Luckily it hasn't effected my sleeping yet but during the day I notice him moving like crazy! It must be like every half hour or so. He calms down in the evening but I just can't believe that he would be moving so much!

This past weekend we were supposed to build the crib but we ended up busy so we will do it this weekend. Then, the next weekend is the baby shower! I'm excited to see the things that the little guy will get. We have already received a video baby monitor, a nursing cover and a play gym from my great aunt and uncle in California. That was so nice of them to send all of that! Plus all the things my grandmother has bought already. This baby is going to be so spoiled! Just like I was hehe

We just signed up for a. Breast feeding class and a hospital tour so that should be interesting. I would like to read "bringing up bebe" but we have been so busy lately that I haven't had a minute to even think about reading. I guess I should get used to that!

Belly photo of the week! Feeling pregnant lol

28 weeks!

Well it's 10:30pm and I am waiting for Frank to get home. He has late photo shoots every night this week. I can't believe what a whirlwind it feels like I am in right now. I cannot keep up with the pace of work. I come home and switch focus to try and help my dad with the launch of his business and seaming lay pass out after that. I barely took a few minutes tonight to pay bills and look online for a nanny with no good results but did find a possible pediatrician. 

On the baby side of things... I have been feeling him quite a bit more! Lots of movements! Some fairly violent haha I like feeling him because it makes me think he is healthy! I also am getting real sore in my belly and pelvic area especially towards the end of the day. Nothing that is really crazy but just enough that my body tells me when it is time to stop and lay down. 

I am so happy that things are going well with my health. I did forget that my glucose test is actually tomorrow, not today like I originally posted. So I will be at my appt. tomorrow morning. I am not excited. I have heard that it is gross! 

Here is the belly photo of the week! 

Oh and by the way, I'm officially in the third trimester!!
