31 Week Baby Bump Update



How far along? 31 Weeks

Weight gain? On a normal incline upward. My midwife is pleased with my weight gain even though I still hate seeing that number go up and up.

Maternity clothes? I have to wear maternity clothes almost always now. My shirts are getting shorter and shorter which means that my clothes are getting more and more limited. 

Stretch Marks? No new ones but I have a few that might be growing a little bit.

Sleep? What's that? I do get sleep but I wake up from about 2 until 5 and then get waken up by Monkey at 6:30 to 7 and I'm so not ready to be up for the day. Oh well, I will get sleep in about 10 to 15 years when my boys enjoy sleeping in right?

Best Moment this Week? Getting to see Goose again on ultrasound. Had to see the cardiologist to make sure his heart is OK because Monkey has a small heart murmur and they wanted to check out Goose's. The cardiologist isn't concerned and even said that we don't need to worry about checking him after he's born.

Food Cravings? Milk, milk and more milk. I can't seem to get enough. Chocolate milk, cookies and milk, milk with meals, milk at my 2 am wake up. Seriously, I can't get enough. I drink about 2 gallons of milk every other day or so. (Hubby helps me too so it's not all me.)

Gender? Still a boy as far as I know. 

Labor signs? Nope. And I'm glad. He needs to stay in a cook just a little longer.

Belly button in or out? In. Never came out with Monkey but Goose seems bigger so I'm not sure if that will change.

What I miss? Bending over without being uncomfortable. Also having a bra that is comfortable. I'm getting so big that it is hurting. Just waiting for Hubby to get back into working (with him being so sick for so long it might take a little time) so I can head out to get new ones. That's the problem with having a large chest, bras cost $50 to $100 a piece so I can't just go get some.

Milestones? We got an infant carseat. Ours expires soon after Goose would be born and it weighs a ton so we found one at a garage sale that looked brand new. I got it washed this weekend and put together so it's all ready. Plus I finished washing more of his blankets and clothes that I bought for him and they are all put away in his dresser. I'm starting to get excited!

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

I'm Thankful For...day 2

Today I'm thankful for the snow outside and the fact that it has kept my hubby home with us today and the fact that just using google and a few other blogs for ideas I was able to find out how to make a link up!  Link ups are fun and I can't wait to read what everyone else is thankful for this month! Grab the button, link up, follow along or just read! It's up to you! <center><a href="http://www.theheartofahomemaker.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" src="http://i1219.photobucket.com/albums/dd424/Kari_Snellbaker/BLOG-thankful-1.jpg"/></a></center>

Week #2 on THM

Well it's officially the end of week 2 on Trim Healthy Mama! I have tried some more new recipes from the book and from pinterest and I'm having so much fun with it. I also order some xylitol online to save money. I didn't realize how much sweetener I would be using but when you can make sweets for any meal or snack through out the day you can use quite a bit. Favorite Meals this week E pancakes from the book! Yum! I added in frozen berries to them while cooking and they were great and the boys loved them too. They got to have the added whipped cream or syrup on theirs. Fat Stripping Frappa! OMGOSH! This is going to be my go to summer morning drink! I can see myself making one of these up first thing in the morning to get my day going and then enjoying a yummy breakfast 3 hours later. Soon as warm weather hits Hubby's schedule will be packed full daily so my mornings will start early, like 5am early! So having a breakfast at 8:30 will be perfect timing! Cheese ...
