Week 34 Bumpdate!

It just keeps getting closer and closer but taking forever at the same time. I'm so excited to know that baby Goose will be joining us soon however I have so much to do before he arrives and of course I get sick. So now not only do I not feel like doing anything, if I do to much I start coughing which means peeing my pants too and then feel even worse. Not sure how I'm going to get everything done if this cold lingers like it did with my dad. I'm on day 7 now and it last just over 3 weeks for my dad. Ugh! I can't take it that long.

How far along? 34 Weeks!

How big is baby? About 18 inches long and about 5 pounds (according to my phone app)

Weight gain? Another 2 pounds. Really hoping that it's from the baby. I'm getting a little nervous about losing the baby weight afterwards. 

Maternity Clothes? Yep! I don't have many summer clothes to wear. I'm not planning on buying any either since this is the last baby for us. I'm just saving the clothes that look the best for days I'm out and about and wear whatever is comfortable when I'm at home. 

Stretch Marks? Nothing new.

Sleep? Was getting better. I have a friend that suggested that I sleep with ice packs because I was so hot at night and wasn't able to sleep. Now though it's my stupid cold. The cough is just getting so bad at night there is just no hope for sleep. Last night I was lucky to get 4 hours. 

Best Moment this Week? Monkey was trying to feel Goose move this week. He hasn't shown much interest in feeling him move so it was fun to have him keep touching my belly. Of course Goose wouldn't cooperate with him though.

Movement? His movements are getting smaller but when he gets really active I get to see my belly move like there is an alien inside. It's so fun to watch!

Food Cravings? I have started to want to eat again. Eggs are still grossing me out big time. I can barely cook them for Hubby and Monkey. However, there have been a few times that I'm just starving which is a huge difference from last week. I had no desire to eat anything then.

Labor Signs? Nothing yet. He needs to keep waiting. This week is my nephews birthday and I don't want him born to close. Plus then on the 7th is nieces birthday and I have a big event for the non-profit I'm a part of that day so he needs to wait.

Belly Button In or Out? Still in. Hoping that it stays in.

What I Miss? Feeling well obviously. Bending over is the other. It's hard playing with Monkey, getting him dressed, anything that is lower then I am. 

Weekly Wisdom? Sometimes when sick it's better to get some sleep to help get better than to worry about being all natural. I started off being careful with not taking any kind of medication. Using the neti pot and drinking a ton of lemon and honey tea. It works wonders normally. But with this cough I have no choice but to take something that can help. I don't want to cough so hard that I send myself into labor. 

Milestones? He's still in the down position and hoping he stays that way. 

Next Appointment? June 26th. This is the last time for 2 weeks between appointments. After that I will be going every week and they will start checking me at 36 weeks because of my silent labor. Since my hospital is pretty far they don't want me to deliver in the car because I don't know that I'm in labor. 

What I'm Looking Forward To? Next Saturday is my baby sprinkle thrown by my good friend, Censie, over at Building Our Story and of course celebrating Father's Day. I'm working on getting a hand made gift for both Hubby and my dad. Also this Saturday I'm going to go and get a manicure and pedicure and relaxing after a crazy week of being sick.

  2. I know. Everyone hates me because of it. Truthfully I wouldn't mind if the silent labor was true for this baby too even if that means laboring in the car on the long drive to the hospital.

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...

The ABC's of Our Family

I got a great idea from this lovely  blog  about doing a ABC photo book through out the year. Each week taking one photo that goes along with a letter. I have seen lots of great ideas for different photo blog ideas but all seem like to much work and something that I know I wouldn't be able to do. This one seems reasonable for our crazy life.  So to start off I have chose a great picture that I took of Rex and M playing together one day when he got home from work. Rex is so ADORABLE in this picture I just knew this was what I had to use! Plus I already know what I'm using for next week even though the picture hasn't been taken yet.  So here it is.......ADORABLE Rex playing with his Daddy! Oh I just can't get enough of this guy. Also as a little side note to how adorable he is...he kept posing for the camera once I got. He didn't care that Mommy was watching him play and wouldn't even look at me but soon as the camera was out he had to keep turning and...

Baby Bumpdate: Week 35

35 Weeks! That means only 5 left!!!! Holy cow!!! I think I'm starting to freak out just a little!!! How far along? 35 Weeks! Yea! How big is baby?  He's about 18 inches and just over 5 pounds. Weight gain? I gained a pound last week. Maternity Clothes?  Of course. I'm living in tanks right now because of the heat. Just wish I had more shorts to wear. Stretch Marks?  Nothing new. Just the ones from before and Monkey. Sleep? With this cold I'm not sleeping much. I'm getting a little better and able to sleep about 4 to 6 hours at night and then at nap time I'm able to get 1 or 2 more hours of sleep. However, I'm still exhausted especially because of the heat. It just drains all my energy. Even when I'm sitting in the shade under a fan. Of course it's only June so I'm not sure how this heat thing will effect me in July :/ Best Moment this Week?  Monkey kissing my belly before he went down for a nap. It was so cute. He ...
