Baby Update #7

How far along? 36 weeks tomorrow! Full term! What the heck?!

Maternity clothes? All the time. I still wear most of my normal shirts with a maternity tank underneath.-Still the same

Stretch marks? I've noticed a few... I'm not too concerned about them like I was with Layla. They fade. -Same

Sleep: Oh my aching hips!!!! Sleep still sucks. It's so annoying to have to fully wake up to roll over.

Best moment this week: Hearing his heartbeat at our WEEKLY appt yesterday! Also, getting the last few things we need for him.

Miss Anything? BEER! I'm not a huge beer drinking normally but man it sounds so good!

Movement: Lots, all the time.

Food cravings: Sweets... Candy bars.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Taking my heartburn meds without food. Other then that nothing.

Gender: All boy!

Labor Signs: Zero. I actually got checked for the first time yesterday, I was going to decline but didn't. Nothings going on down there.

Belly Button in or out? Out.

It's crazy to think how close we are to holding him.

Weekend!!!

Some of the decorations I made for my Baby Shower...

And yes, it's true we finally have a name! We've actually had it for about 5 weeks or so...

JACK EDWARD!

Yeah his initials will be J.E.M. But he will be Truly Outrageous! So it's ok! This was the hardest decisions I have ever had. It finally came down to it being the only name we could agree on. But after using it for weeks it really feels right.

I like how Jack’s are almost always the good guys in movies and books. We are also pretty big Lost fans. Edward is after my big brother, Edward James (although he goes by Eddie). It just feels like a strong normal name.

The baby shower went off great! A lot of friends and loved ones. Really good food and cake!

The rest of my weekend was pretty chill. We had breakfast out, did a little shopping and finalized the last few things we needed for Jack to make his arrival. I now can have him and he has somewhere to sleep!

More pic's from the weekend:

I finally got a baby book for Jack. I don't care for Peter Rabbit, but this was the only one I could find that wasn't covered in pink and purple.

Ben & Layla at breakfast. I had to make the picture fuzzy cause the guy with the arrow above his head was so creepy looking! Kind of like death...

My nails, I did for the shower.

& baby Boy's name on the chalkboard wall.

Have a great week!!!

Baby Update #6

Here's a baby update!

How far along? 35 weeks tomorrow! Wow! A week away from “full term” & starting month 9!

Maternity clothes? All the time. I still wear most of my normal shirts with a maternity tank underneath.

Stretch marks? I've noticed a few... I'm not too concerned about them like I was with Layla. They fade. -Same

Sleep: Oh my aching hips!!!! Sleep sucks. Also with Layla having asthma trouble this week I’ve been up a lot.

Best moment this week: He is so busy! I love feeling him roll around and it’s so fun to watch Layla get excited when she feels him or sees him move. He kicked her in the ear a few weeks ago when she had her head on my tummy.

Miss Anything? Not having to pee every time I stand up or move.

Movement: Lots, all the time.

Food cravings: Everything.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Taking my heartburn meds without food. Other then that nothing.

Gender: All boy!

Labor Signs: Zero

Belly Button in or out? Out… It didn’t pop with Layla was it sure has with Baby boy!

Today I have a Baby appt at 2:00pm. I’m excited to hear his heart beat! It’s getting so close! Tomorrow is my baby shower! It’s at my house (only place all my bishes would fit) but I only know the theme I don’t know anything else that has been planned… It’s kind of driving me crazy, I am too much of a control freak for this!

This was yesterday... Holy Huge!

It's been forever...

Random Post!

I'm cooking a baby, chasing a 4 year old, working and trying to keep up a house. I really do not want to come back to work after I have Baby Brother and I think we can swing it but I need something. I know I won't be able to be home 24-7 so I'm currently looking for something part time...

Layla, My Mom and I went to Seattle this last weekend. It was interesting... I'm about 2 weeks from starting month 9 and it was difficult doing everything by myself. To top it off she had trouble with her asthma and wasn't feeling too hot. We did manage to make it thru the Seattle Aquarium before she got too bad.

This Saturday is my Baby Shower! I know a lot of people do not have showers for second babies, but I assure this is not the norm around here. We do showers for 4th or 5th babies, it doesn't matter. This is my sweet invite! I love chevron! It's very "me"

Other then that I haven’t been up to much. We are working on getting the house de-cluttered and going thru Layla’s baby stuff. I haven’t started a nursery or really gotten anything for Baby Boy besides a few outfits. I’m slacking. It will all come together though! Fingers crossed he doesn’t come early!

Baby Update #4

How far along? 27 wks tomorrow. Entering month 7 & the 3rd trimester! WOW!

Maternity clothes? All, all the time. I am on a hunt for maternity skinny jeans. I can't seem to find my size anywhere.

Stretch marks? I've noticed a few... I'm not too concerned about them like I was with Layla. They fade. -Same

Sleep: It's alright. I wake up a lot to move positions and pee, but it's not horrible.

Best moment this week: It will be hearing his heartbeat at our monthly check up today! Also finding a bra that I'm not spilling out of! The biggest cup size I have ever bought... 

Miss Anything? My back not hurting & holiday drinks.

Movement: Lots, all the time.

Food cravings: It has been Pumpkin Pie, thank goodness we've now eaten it all!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Still this one: The bathroom air fresher at my work. It’s Febreze Spring something. Holy S it’s awful! & people use way to much of it! I think I am going to start using the boys bathroom at work. Or throw that spray away! & sometimes the kitchen first thing in the morning.

Gender: All boy!

Labor Signs: Zero

Belly Button in or out? It's on it's way out...

This was the week of Thanksgiving. I'm getting monstrous.

Have a great weekend!

How far along? 23 wks tomorrow.

Maternity clothes? Pants all the time... And I need some new shirts.

Stretch marks? I've noticed a few... I'm not too concerned about them like I was with Layla. They fade.

Sleep: Meh, it's ok. I wish I could just fall asleep and not wake up until morning. When I do wake up I have lots of ridiculous thoughts that won't let me go back to sleep.

Best moment this week: Hearing his heartbeat that the doc's on Wednesday.  

Miss Anything? My back not hurting. :)

Movement: Lots, all the time.

Food cravings: Butterfingers. Why did I buy a bag of these?!

My birthday is Tuesday! Woo, I don't have much planned I think my ladies and I are going to go to the Melting Pot. This weekend my Mom has Layla so I'm going to get my hair did and have Ben take me to dinner. It's all about food right now :)

Happy Friday!

A week from Wednesday we have find out what were having! Hopefully, I have a feeling were not going to see the goods... And if we don't then it's meant to be for us to wait. I'm excited to take Layla to this appt though, I think she'll enjoy actually seeing the baby in Mommy's tummy.

Have a great weekend!

Baby Update!

A little baby update:

How far along? 15 wks tomorrow.

Maternity clothes? Pants all the time... Agh I don't even like to say that! I feel like I look 30 weeks!

Stretch marks? Nope, just old really faded ones from Layla.

Sleep: When I'm out, I'm out. But my hips have been bothering me since we tent camped last weekend so falling asleep as been hard.

Best moment this week: My sweet friend Cheryl (she works at Layla's school but we used to work together like 5 years ago) said I looked really cute and was just all belly! Even though I think it was fib, it was still sweet.

Miss Anything? Not gonna lie, I miss drinking. Lol

Movement: It's still early but I have felt a few baby moves, it’s the best!

Food cravings: Not really... I really wanted some Tropical Skittles yesterday.

Anything making you queasy or sick: This weird smell in my shower, that no one else can smell so it's just me. But agh I hate it! Also another bathroom related thing, the air fresher at my work. It’s Febreze Spring something. Holy S it’s awful! & people use way to much of it!

Gender: I'm thinking girl. We have decided to not find out but now that I am weeks away from being able to know, I kind of want too. I have a baby appt today and I think they will have me schedule the appt for it.

Labor Signs: Zero

Belly Button in or out? In...

Wedding rings on or off? Wanta know I secret? My wedding rings have never fit correctly since I had Layla. And I've never gotten them fixed cause I kept thinking oh I’ll be pregnant again in no time. Yeah... So I always wear a beautiful ring my Momma gave me towards the end of my pregnancy with Layla. It's still on.

Mood: Happy and tried! And a little anxious.

Looking forward to: Hearing the heartbeat again today, and taking Layla to the next ultrasound.

& some Pictures:

I'm making a dumb face for some reason... & it's black and white to hide my awful roots...

& the baby! This was from the 22nd, sweet little Peanut!
