36 Weeks

(I am writing this blog over 2 weeks late but I am going to try and remember how things happened :) )

I can't believe we are only 4 weeks away! I told my father-in-law though it is not fair because as of now I am 36 weeks along...if you do the math and divide by 4 that equals 9 months...which is how long women are supposed to be pregnant, right? WRONG! I don't know where that came from but we are pregnant for 10 months!! Blah. I am starting to get pretty uncomfortable and people keep telling me that there is no way I am making it to November 17th--we will see I guess!

I did get quite a bit done returning stuff and purchasing some things that I knew we were missing. We are getting super excited!

**There is no picture for this week unfortunately---you will see why in the next few posts** :)

How far along: 36 weeks

Size of Sweet Pea: The size of a honeydew


Maternity clothes: Yes, and those seem to be getting too small! :)

Weight gain: About 27 pounds
Gender: A sweet baby GIRL!

Movement: Still constantly and rather strong!
Sleep: Not too great but still not horrible

Food cravings: Nothing really
Anything make you sick or queasy: Nope!


What I miss: Sleeping comfortably all night. Being able to sit normally and still be able to breathe! Being able to wear my wedding ring.  Walking without waddling :)
Symptoms: The belly hasn't stopped growing. My fingers and toes are swelling a little.

Wedding rings on or off: Off :(


Mood: Excited! Can't believe it is getting so close!
Best Moment of the week: We went back to the doctor on Wednesday the 17th and got to see our precious baby girl. She is still breech though and hoping she turns in the next few weeks!

35 Weeks

The closer we get to the end, the faster it is going!! This last weekend we got to take our last trip before our little Sweet Pea gets here! It is still kinda freaking me out---saying goodbye to my family and knowing that the next time I saw them would be when she makes her debut is so hard to fathom but SO SO exciting!!

We had an amazing weekend filled with family, friends and lots of activities! We had a baby shower, a birthday party and a baptism~! I could not think of a better way to spend our last trip! It was perfect!

Week 35
Kinda had to see with the dark shirt and background :(
 

How far along: 35 weeks

Size of Sweet Pea: The size of a coconut---is she shrinking?!?



Maternity clothes: Yes, and those seem to be getting too small! :)

Weight gain: Still have not really got on the scales--I'm gonna say 25-26 though!
 
Gender: A sweet baby GIRL!

Movement: Still constantly and rather strong! She still loves hanging out on the nerve that runs down my leg!

Sleep: I was PUMPED last week when one night I woke up only once and one night I slept ALL THE WAY through the night! This is HUGE!! It was amazing! The other nights were about like they had been but I was really thankful for those two nights!

Food cravings: Nothing crazy, darn it....time is running out. I want just one weird craving!! I have still been LOVING ice though.
Anything make you sick or queasy: Nope!
What I miss: Sleeping comfortably all night. Being able to sit normally and still be able to breathe! Being able to wear my wedding ring.  Walking without waddling :)
 
Symptoms: The belly hasn't stopped growing. My fingers and toes are swelling a little.

Wedding rings on or off: Off :(
Mood: Same as last week: Really anxious and excited!! Starting to get a little nervous!

Best Moment of the week: We got to go to Dalhart for the last time till she gets here. We got to see lots of family and friends! And we had a great shower with lots of fun little presents! It was a WONDERFUL weekend and we are so blessed.

34 Weeks


Nothing really new and exciting went on this past week. We enjoyed a week without appointments or anything and we are absolutely LOVING the fall weather we are having. I am ignoring the fact that in the forecast it is supposed to get back up to around 80 all week. Surely, the weatherman has it wrong! I did have a minor issue trying to get ready for church yesterday thinking that I had more fall attire that I could wear while pregnant than I really did, so maybe the little bit warmer weather will be okay so I will have things to wear!

The shirt in the picture isn't the best one for a weekly picture because you can't really see the belly and I look HUGE! But it's all I got. And I think I am in denial on just how big I really am--I mean, how big HENSLEY really is :)

Week 34
 

How far along: 34 weeks

Size of Sweet Pea: The size of a butternut squash

Maternity clothes: Yes! And Josh's clothes :) He wasn't too thrilled to have me stealing his t-shirts until I told him it was either that or me go buy some more for me to make it 6 more weeks. He quickly changed his mind and told me I could wear whatever I needed!

Weight gain: Um, I kinda haven't got on the scales lately!! I would guess around 25? Who knows? It is started to feel like A LOT!!!!

Gender: A sweet baby GIRL!

Movement: Constantly and rather strong! She is getting really good at finding the nerve that makes me either want to fall down or start crying....but I know that I will miss feeling her move inside me when she isn't in there anymore, it really is the most amazing feeling.

Sleep: Eh---let's just say I'm ready to sleep without a 25 basketball around my middle!

Food cravings: Nothing crazy, darn it....time is running out. I want just one weird craving!!
Anything make you sick or queasy: Nope!
What I miss: Sleeping comfortably all night. Being able to sit normally and still be able to breathe! Being able to wear my wedding ring.
Symptoms: The belly hasn't stopped growing. My fingers and toes are swelling a little.

Wedding rings on or off:  Off :(


Mood: Same as last week: Really anxious and excited!! Starting to get a little nervous!

Best Moment of the week: Hmmmm, there wasn't anything really "big" this week but I guess it would be just continueing to get stuff put together for her room and all the fun little presents people drop by. And I always love getting to look down and see my belly moving around--even if it is a little weird!

33 Weeks

Oh man, oh man am I getting so excited!! The nursery is looking SO much better! A baby could actually be born and have a place to come home and live! Curtains came in on Saturday and after a few more little things I might post pictures soon. I'm kind of in love with it! It really is turning out to be precious! 7 more weeks and our little one will be here--we are getting so, so ready and maybe just a little bit nervous. Well I am, I don't think Josh is really nervous about the whole labor process! :)

Here is the latest picture of the ever-growing belly and weekly updates!



How far along: 33 weeks

Size of Sweet Pea: The size of a durian fruit??? (Thank you google for knowing what this is because I have no idea!)


 

Maternity clothes: Yes!

Weight gain: Um, about 23--luckily I did not get in trouble for gaining about 5 pounds in 2 weeks! Josh and I were just certain that I would and he thinks it is just so funny but thankfully she must have overlooked it! I had even tried to talk the nurse into writing down a different weight but she wouldn't! WHEW!!

Gender: A sweet baby GIRL!

Movement: Constantly and rather strong! She has landed on a nerve a few times that has almost made me want to fall down.

Sleep: A tiny bit better than it has been!! 

Food cravings: Still love ice! But still nothing crazy!
 
Anything make you sick or queasy: Nope!
What I miss: Sleeping comfortably all night.  Being able to sit normally and still be able to breathe!
Symptoms: Growing belly! Starting to get easily tired again. Swollen fingers. MY FOOT GREW--are you kidding me? I knew this was a possibility but didn't give it much thought until I went to put on some of my closed-toed shoed and they didn't fit :( As of now, I have grown a 1/2 size...I pray that this is all it grows!!

Wedding rings on or off: I don't want to answer this one. I am in denial. Let's just say I'm wearing a ring that looks like a wedding ring but it doesn't look like my wedding ring. **sniff, sniff**



Mood: Really anxious and excited!! Starting to get a little nervous!

Best Moment of the week: Can this be not getting yelled at by the doctor?!? Lol. No in all seriousness probably getting to hear the heartbeat again and getting to go through all the fun stuff we got at the shower. Man oh man, did she get some precious stuff!!

32 Weeks

 
We had a great weekend full of family and friends! My mom, sisters, niece and nephews came to spend the weekend to go to our Tahoka Shower yesterday! It was so much fun!! We ran around all day Saturday and then hung out yesterday before the shower. I have missed them so much and this weekend was just what I needed!!
 
Yesterday we had the most amazing shower which I will tell you more about later! I never have anything to blog about besides my weekly updates so I'm not telling you anymore about the shower so I can acutally write another blog! :)
 
So here are not one, but two pictures for the week. (This is the difference in having your sister take your picture vs your husband!! Josh and I usually barely get one taken and Whitney was telling me how to stand and had taken 3 before I knew it!!)
 
The bump is definitely growing!!
 

Week 32
 
 
How far along: 32 weeks

Size of Sweet Pea: The size of a squash---but this is the picture they showed...this is not the kind of squash I eat, not sure what kind it is~!
 
 
Maternity clothes: Yes!

Weight gain: 18 lbs last week and to be honest, I don't think I have stepped on the scales since then! Not sure if I want to either!!

Gender: A sweet baby GIRL!

Movement: Constantly! And I have heard the myth of "how they are in the womb is how they are outside"---if this is the case she is gonna be a busy little bee. My stomach is moving non-stop!

Sleep: Um not just great...darn it.

Food cravings: Nothing really, except ice. Weird...but ice always sounds amazing. Maybe it is because I am so HOT--Fall weather, pretty please get here!!

Anything make you sick or queasy: Nope!
What I miss: Sleeping comfortably all night. Wearing shoes that feel comfortable....all of a sudden my feet hurt all the time..even when I am wearing my "comfy" shoes.
Symptoms: Belly keeps growing! Starting to get easily tired again. No one has actually come out and say it, but I'm pretty sure I'm starting to waddle, lol!

Wedding rings on or off: Still just my wedding band...no engagment ring :(



Mood: Really anxious and excited!!

Best Moment of the week: Our AMAZING baby shower yesterday from the sweet ladies of Tahoka (I will write a blog about this later!!) But it was seriously amazing. We are truly blessed and then we got to go home and put it all up!! SO STINKIN' FUN!! We are really ready for her to be here!!

31 Weeks


We are in the single digits of weeks left till Sweet Pea will arrive! WOOHOO!! 9 more to go :)
We are slowly getting her nursery put together--we have just been kinda at a stand-still for a while! I can not wait for some of the things we have ordered to come in so that way we can really do some work!!
 
We went to our 30 week appointment last Wednesday and got to see our sweet baby again. It is looking like she is about 3 lbs 5 oz and from the two pictures we got of her, her cheeks already look chubby!! Josh and I are IN LOVE already!! Dr. B says that she is estimating maybe about an 8 lb baby....which after delivering my sisters over 9 lb baby, she didn't think was too huge :) Sweet Pea is breech right now (which I don't understand b/c it feels like she flops around ALL THE TIME) but since she is we get to have another sonogram at 35 weeks..WOOHOO!!! 



How far along: 31 weeks

Size of Sweet Pea: The size of a pineapple!!

Maternity clothes: Yes!

Weight gain: 18 lbs--this was from the doctor on Wednesday 

Gender: A sweet baby GIRL!

Movement: Constantly!

Sleep: Ok! Some nights it goes great other nights I get up about 10 times :)

Food cravings: I get really hungry but start eating and get full fast...BOO!! But I have been really loving my sweets more than usual lately. And I have the best husband who ate ice cream with me at 10:00 the other night so I wouldn't be eating it alone! He didn't seem to mind too much!

Anything make you sick or queasy: Nope!
What I miss: Sleeping on my back! Being able to get up from the couch normally!
Symptoms: Belly keeps growing! Leg cramps till every once in a while-blah

Wedding rings on or off: Still just my wedding band...no engagment ring :(


Mood: Anxious! Excited!!

Best Moment of the week: Going to the doctor and getting to see her sweet little face and hear that she is healthy!

30 Weeks

Ok, so it is starting to feel closer and closer by the day! Josh and I spent all day Saturday at the hospital at childbirth class. I am so glad we went because there was LOTS of great information, but at the same time I am freaking out a little! I did not need to see some of what we saw :) I like to not think about "that" part of having a baby!

But it really was good and we learned a lot! My favorite was Josh learning massage techniques to help me relax and when they got to practice that! I told him we will probably need to practice those a lot over the next 10 weeks so he will be perfect by delivery day!

Thank you for all the sweet comments on her name! They made my day! I think it is just perfect and now am ready to put a face with the name~! But we have lots to do until then to keep us busy. Wish I could show you fun nursery pictures but those don't exist just yet :) Maybe soon!! Until then, here is another picture of my ever-growing belly!

Week 30

How far along: 30 weeks

Size of Sweet Pea: About the size of a cucumber...not sure at all how she went from an eggplant, to acorn squash to a cucumber. Seems little backwards to me!

Maternity clothes: Yes!

Weight gain: 18-20 lbs?

Gender: A sweet baby GIRL!

Movement: Wow---more than ever! I have about decided she is going to be a tap dancer or something. She makes my belly move a lot! But I could sit there and watch it for forever so that is ok with me!

Sleep: Ok! Some nights it goes great other nights I get up about 10 times :)

Food cravings: FOOD!!! I have been drinking lots of milk lately...not sure if it is me trying to be healthy or an actual craving.

Anything make you sick or queasy: Nope!
What I miss: Sleeping on my back! Being able to get up from the couch normally!
Symptoms: Belly keeps growing! Leg cramps till every once in a while-blah

Wedding rings on or off: I am incredibly sad about this--but my engagement ring is now off :( I didn't resize my wedding band so it still fits but my engagement ring is too tight. I could probably still wear it but I had a small anxiety attack when I tried to get it off one day and it didn't just slip right off. Maybe when it gets cooler outside but I'm not holding my breath!

Mood: Ready to start really getting stuff done!

Best Moment of the week: Telling the name and hearing everyone's sweet comments. Then even though we spent our whole Saturday there, I really did enjoy the childbirth class and all the information we got!

29 Weeks--Third Trimester?!?

I am officially in the third trimester--seems like just yesterday I was praying for the second trimester to get here so I would get some energy back and the nausea would go away!

There isn't a whole lot of news or changes this week! Starting to feel the pressure to get stuff done instead of just talking about it because she will be here in about 11 weeks---not long at all!!


Week 29

How far along: 29 weeks

Size of Sweet Pea: About the size of an acorn squash

Maternity clothes: Yes!

Weight gain: 16-18 lbs?

Gender: A sweet baby GIRL!

Movement: Pretty much anytime I get still she is moving. Or if there is pressure on my belly....the other night at the football game, my nephew fell asleep when I was holding him and she NEVER quit kicking him! I am taking it she is just ready to play and not that she is already picking fights with her cousin!

Sleep: Ok! Not great--not horrible.

Food cravings: Oh I don't know if it was a craving--but mom sent home quite a bit of leftover wedding cake with us from Whitney's wedding and I pretty well polished that off!

Anything make you sick or queasy: Nope!
What I miss: Sleeping on my back! Being able to get up from the couch normally!
Symptoms: Belly keeps growing!

Wedding rings on or off: On unless its really hot outside and they get really tight

Mood: Getting ready! I can not believe how fast time is flying though~!

Best Moment of the week: Starting to tell the name! :) Official public announcement and blog coming soon!!

28 Weeks


28 weeks and counting! We went to the doctor last Wednesday before heading to Dalhart for my sisters wedding. I got to drink the yummy drink and get my blood taken to test for gestational diabetes and a lovely shot in my hip--not one of my funnest doctor's appointments BUT we did get to hear her sweet heartbeat and it completely makes the pricks and pokes all worth it. It is the most beautiful sound ever! It was kinda funny though because it took her forever to find it and when she did she was wayyyy on my left side. Then 2-seconds later she can't find it again and when she did she was as far on my right side as she could possibly be. I told the nurse that she was bouncing off the walls in there for that sugar drink I had to drink for my test!

I did get a little speech from the doctor about weight gain. Apparentely I have gained a pretty normal amount total but 8 of the 16 lbs I have gained were in the last month. Whoops!! :) She said she was a little concerned about that and really raised her eyebrows at me when my husband proceeds to tell her it could be due to the fact that a donut shop/bakery opened up right across from my work--traitor. Oh well! Lol!

This weekend was crazy and chaotic to put it mildly---but so much fun! My middle sister got married and I just knew I would get a picture in my beautiful bridesmaids dress--but that didn't happen! I have really good intentions but sometimes they just don'thappen~! So---here is me today--a few days late!

Week 28


(I feel like some of the answers below never change but there isn't just a whole lot to change at this point! So please excuse the same answers!!)

How far along: 28 weeks

Size of Sweet Pea: About the size of an eggplant

Maternity clothes: Yes!

Weight gain: 16 lbs 

Gender: A sweet baby GIRL!

Movement: She is pretty active when I am sitting or laying down! She is getting stronger all the time!

Sleep: Pretty good-my poor husband barely has room to sleep because I have about 10 pillows surrounding me but I'm sleeping better!

Food cravings: Still not really!

Anything make you sick or queasy: Nope!
What I miss: Starting to miss sleeping comfortably
 
Symptoms: Nothing new--Movement, growing belly, forgetful, starting to get tired really quickly

Wedding rings on or off: On although they are getting kinda snug and that makes me really sad!

Mood: Getting ready! I can not believe how fast time is flying though~!

Best Moment of the week: Wow--this week there were so many great moments! Going to the doctor and hearing her heartbeat, getting to see ALL my family that I hadn't seen in forever and probably won't see again till Christmas and them getting to see my baby bump, my cousin giving me a box of cute baby clothes from her little girl, and one of my very very favorites is we have decided on a name....A FULL NAME!! We have known her first name since we found out she is a girl but last night we both committed to her full name. So much fun---and so incredibly crazy! I originally didn't want to tell until she was born but I'm guessing we will be making an announcement soon---so be on the lookout. I think it will fit her perfectly!

27 Weeks


Rutabaga--my baby is the size of a rutagaba this week?! Am I the only one that doesn't know what that is? Luckily, google came through for me and I have posted a picture below!

I was so excited when I got ready for church on Sunday because I looked real cute and thought "Man, my weekly picture is going to be cute this week!" Vain? Yeah, a little. But I had on this little black dress and cardigan and I felt like a cute pregnant person. If you have ever been pregnant you know, this doesn't always happen. So I was pumped. However, what did I do after getting home from church?? I went straight to my closet, grabbed a pair of sweatpants, a t-shirt and a sweatshirt (YES, a sweatshirt---it was a little chilly outside and I could not wait to put it on!!). Then I curled up on the couch, we put in Courageous and then I bawled my eyes out. I tell you this to explain why I look oh-so-lovely below! :) So much for that cute preggo picture I had planned! The sweats were just too appealing, darn it!

Oh a little sidenote--if you have not seen the movie Courageous--go get it and watch it! Ah-mazing! Such a great message and it made me so so so so excited that my sweet baby girl (and God-willing, her siblings in years to come) will have Josh as a Daddy! I can not even begin to tell you how excited I am to see the love of my life and best friend become the father of our children. I am so blessed.

Week 27
(Yes I really did post this picture of myself for all the world to see--Luckily, very few people read my blog!!)



How far along: 27 weeks

Size of Sweet Pea: About the size of a rutabaga (for those of you like me who has no idea what this is, please see picture below!)

Maternity clothes: Yes!

Weight gain: Maybe about 12-13lbs?

Gender: A sweet baby GIRL!

Movement: She is pretty active when I am sitting or laying down! She is getting stronger all the time!

Sleep: Pretty good-my poor husband barely has room to sleep because I have about 10 pillows surrounding me but I'm sleeping better!

Food cravings: Still not really!
Anything make you sick or queasy: Nope!
What I miss: Starting to miss sleeping comfortably
Symptoms: Nothing new--Movement, growing belly, forgetful, starting to get tired really quickly
Wedding rings on or off: On

Mood: Getting ready! I can not believe how fast time is flying though~!

Best Moment of the week: I know this may be the only time in my life I ever say this but I did do a load of baby clothes that had been given to us and it was so much fun to see the washer filled with these tiny, precious clothes. Then I folded/hung them up as Josh and I sat there and talked about how even doing this it didn't really feel like it was our baby that would be wearing them. SO much fun!! :)

26 Weeks

How are these weeks just flying by? I said something to Josh last night about Sweet Pea being here in 14 weeks (or less) and he almost fell out of his chair. It sounds a lot sooner when you put it in weeks for some reason! So as excited as we are--I can't believe it is just right around the corner! We are slowly getting the nursery together and I can't wait for it to be done and I get to show you!! But until then--here is the latest update on me and my little (or maybe not so little!!) Sweet Pea!

Week 26

How far along: 26 weeks

Size of Sweet Pea: About the size of a head of lettuce

Maternity clothes: Yes!

Weight gain: I think still about 10-11 pounds

Gender: A sweet baby GIRL!

Movement: She is pretty active when I am sitting or laying down! She is getting stronger all the time!

Sleep: Pretty good--can't get just really comfortable but I still sleep--just wake up hurting.

Food cravings: No--and I really want to have just one random craving during pregnancy :)
Anything make you sick or queasy: Nope!
What I miss: Starting to miss sleeping comfortably
Symptoms: Nothing new--Movement, growing belly, forgetful, starting to get tired really quickly
Wedding rings on or off: On--but they are getting kinda snug :(

Mood: Getting ready! I can not believe how fast time is flying though~!

Best Moment of the week: It was a fun/exhausting/overwhelming Sunday afternoon as we started registering! I had tried to be really prepared but there are SO many options and we had no idea. So it was exciting that we are getting to register b/c it means she is going to be here soon but also SO long and TIRING!

Wednesday, August 8, 2012

25 weeks

This post is a few days late but I didn't get a picture taken on Saturday, you didn't want to see me on Sunday, then Josh went in to work on Monday....so better late than never~! :)

I took a picture yesterday on Josh's phone and didn't get it sent to me so we went to take another one this morning--so there are two this week. One shirt was kinda flowy so I thought I would do the one from today where you can see my belly better (please excuse the exhausted look on my face!!)

Week 25-Tuesday


Week 25-Wednesday

Wedding rings on or off: On--although one day when it was 106 outside I almost couldn't get my wedding ring off and kinda panicked! But other than that they are still on and fitting!

Mood: Still excited and anxious. TIRED this week but think most of it is from a weekend full of wedding festivities for some friends.

Best Moment of the week: Again, not another huge moment but I do love laying there and being able to see her kick and move around in my tummy!

24 Weeks--6 months


6 months---I am 6 months pregnant?!?! When did this happen?!  Wow--I am really feeling like I need to get it in gear and get some stuff done. Before we know it, November will be here!

Her quilt for her nursery should be in this week and after that hopefully things will start falling into place! We have lots of ideas but nothing for sure about the nursery! I didn't want to go with a theme but just going to pull in lots of bright colors from the quilt so we will see how that goes! :)

Week 24
Maybe horizontal stripes weren't such a great idea?!  :)

23 Weeks

We went this morning to our big appointment where they check everything out and were supposed to tell us what we were having--I'm so glad we found out 2 weeks ago :)

We got another 3-D sonogram where they checked her heart, lips, spine, brain, etc and everything looked GREAT!! I was not nervous at all but it was such a relief to hear it from the doctor that our baby is healthy! Then we get to go back in 7 weeks to see her again and see how she is growing! Sonograms are really one of the most amazing things ever! She was folded in half pretty much the whole time. We only got a good look at her face once or twice because her foot was covering it but when we did it looks like she already has some cheeks on her---which I am so excited about! I LOVE me some chubby-cheeked babies!!


Week 23

How far along: 23 weeks

Size of Sweet Pea: About the size of a grapefruit. From the sonogram she is weighing 1 pound 5 oz. They couldn't tell us a length because she was folded in half the entire time!

Maternity clothes: Yes!

Weight gain: From the doctor's scales it looks like about 8 pounds

Gender: A sweet baby GIRL!

Movement: Yes, quite a bit. She is definitely getting bigger and stronger daily! And I actually looked down the other day sitting at work and saw her kick...WEIRD! I loved watching my sister's belly move..but when it is yours, it is a weird feeling!
Sleep: Pretty good! Usually wake up kinda sore
Food cravings: Still nothing too specific--just FOOD!

Anything make you sick or queasy: Nope!
What I miss: Definitely still miss my memory, but other than that, not a whole lot! 
Symptoms: Movement, growing belly, still having Charlie horses, forgetful
Wedding rings on or off: On

Mood: Excited. Anxious to get the nursery all put together! We (meaning Josh) have painted the first coat and have all the furniture except a changing table but my mom found a cute one that we may get!! Can.not.wait to get it all put together!

Best Moment of the week: Getting to see our Sweet Pea today and know that she is healthy!!
