Santa Work Shop

Over the weekend we were able to go down to the Club House and be involved in the Santa Work Shop.

Connor was really excited and kept telling us this is what his elf does when he leaves our house. 

When we first got there, we had to get a passport and make sure to get a stamp each time we went to a new place. 

They had games for the kids, treats, a work shop and of course Santa..

I was really happy Logan went with us cause i know for a fact i wouldn't of been able to build the tool box they gave us. 

Connor thought it was neat cause it was his daddy and his project they did together. For some reason Connor just adores his dad.

After they built the tool box we headed to the line to go and see Santa. The line was pretty long, but the kids were so excited to tell Santa what they wanted. 

Of course Logan has filled Connor head with what LOGAN wants. So Connor asked Santa for a Play Station 4 and Sky lander giants video game. 

I love this time of the year. Even if this year it was been pretty calm i still love having feeling of jolly. :)

25 Weeks

What's up with Baby this week? 
25 Weeks.

WE ARE FINALLY INTO THE DOUBLE DIGITS!! YAHOO

Our little man is weighing in at 1.5 POUND finally.
and about 13.5 inches long.

Your little grower’s physical proportions are pretty much birth-ready and most of their remaining development will largely be weight gain and a ton of nervous system development.

The good news is: if your child were to be born premature, they’d likely survive without much trauma as their lungs started producing “surfactant” last week, which means their tiny respiratory system is getting stronger with each passing day. Yes, now’s a good time for a minor sigh of relief and a quick pat on the back.

 All that hard work and conscientious living is really getting your child prepared for a healthy delivery.

 In mobile-fetus news: your baby should be scootching slowly out of the breech position (head upright, with their butt-n-legs down by your pelvis) and start rotating around for a head-first exit through the birth canal.

 If all goes well, and your little womb hi-jacker isn't a contrary one, they'll be locked-n-loaded in the next few weeks! Time is short (or really long, depending on who you ask) — just (still!) 14 weeks left before you can go back to being a single-resident human... with one tiny brand-spankin' new family member!

Symptoms? Stretching.. BACK PAIN.. its the worst i tell you. I think he is mostly in my back but when you look at me he is all upfront. Who know what this little man is doing to me!
Heart Burn is getting worst. YUCKY

Gender? Handsome little boy!

When you first look at this picture i would guess its his nose. 
Well its not, Its my little guys lips. YES he is going to have big lips like his daddy. :) 

Excited For? December 17th Connor Mike 6th Birthday! Cant believe i have a 6 year old.
I go in this coming week for my Glucose test. Hopefully the drink isn't as bad as everyone is saying.

I'm also way excited for Christmas and the New year! Its going to be a great year!
Christmas Eve we are having our first get together at our house! Im really excited to have both sides of the family over.

Maternity Clothes? OH YES. I think i would die without these.

Sleep? Its been just OKAY.. I have noticed that my hips really start hurting so im having to move a lot at night. Im also having to pee more. So im up at least twice during the night.

Movement? I have really noticed a change in his movement this week.. He moves a lot during the morning and then is really calm in the afternoon. BUT as soon as Logan comes home and we start talking, our little man starts moving. I think he is finally realizes his Daddys voice.
Over the weekend baby G was really pushing out on my right side. So Logan tried to push him back and right when Logan did that i got the biggest kick in my ribs. I think our little guy was getting mad at his daddy for tying to push him back. Logan has also laid on my belly and he will start kicking his head. Its really cute to see how Logan is with my belly.

Belly Button Status? Half way in and half way out. Some days it wants to be a outie and other days it will stay in.

Missing Anything? Seeing my feet. :)
Getting up with no help
Not losing my breath

Milestones? 

Making it to 25 weeks.
15 Weeks to go. OR LESS. 

Cravings? Toast and Lucky Charms. :)

Weight Gain? 13 Pounds

24 Weeks

What's up with Baby this week? 
24 Weeks.

Our little man is weighing in at 1.3 POUND finally.
and about 12 inches long.

It's another week full of exciting developments for your magical growing baby! Just take a look at the checklist for this week: 1) ears: done; 2) fingernails: done; 3) (if you have a boy) testicles: taking their 3-4 day trip from the abdominal wall to the scrotum; and 4) lungs walls: secreting “surfactant”. What’s surfactant? It's basically what it sounds like: a surface-activated fat that helps your baby's little lungs inflate (where inflate = fill with air not get more expensive for no understandable reason). In the meantime, your submerged baby is still breathing in their amniotic fluid (and a bit of pee), preparing and rehearsing their lungs for an oxygen-filled life outside the womb.

 By the end of this week, your wee womb-squatter will be weighing in at a whopping 2 lbs and 14 inches long. All this new weight means your tiny baby is actually starting to fill out their skin, but they're not anywhere near their adorable fat-baby potential. Most of the fetal “filling out” is coming up in that long awaited (and slightly dreaded?) third trimester. Woo-hoo! Get ready!  

Symptoms? Stretching, back pain, heart burn and leg cramps at night. I forgot how pain full leg cramps were. I hate waking up from a dead sleep in pain!

Gender? Handsome little boy!

Excited For? December 17th Connor Mike 6th Birthday! Cant believe i have a 6 year old.
I'm also way excited for Christmas and the new year! Its going to be a great year!

Maternity Clothes? OH YES. I finally gave in and went to Ross and just about bought everything. I found shirts for $2.50 and pants for $8.00!! Its always hit and miss when i go there. But lucky this time it was a huge HIT!!!!

Sleep? Its been good other then waking up with leg cramps. I have noticed that my hips really start hurting so im having to move a lot at night. 

Movement? I love watching my little guy move. Over the week it has been really cold here so i have been getting Hot coco each morning. And let me tell you it makes him dance like there is no tomorrow. He also really like its when i take a bath. He will kick me so hard that it makes the water more a ton. I have it on video but i wont be posting that.
Also Connor was able to really feel him move this weekend. I was lucky enough to get a picture of Connors face when he felt his brother move! PRICELESS

Belly Button Status? Half way in and half way out. Some days it wants to be a outie and other days it will stay in.

Missing Anything? Im breathing really heavy now a days. I also miss seeing my feet! :)  

Milestones? 

Making it to 24 weeks.

Cravings? Nothing really this week. I have noticed this week i haven't been as hungry like i normally am.

Weight Gain? 13 Pounds
