Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was a blast this year. Different from years before but i think its going to be something we try and do each year..

My mom normally goes to Idaho for Christmas but this year they were unable to so i thought it would be a good idea to get both the families together and try to have Christmas eve..

It worked out PERFECT.

We made our downstairs the place to eat and to hang out. So over the last weekend we made sure to clean it up really good. It was still a mess from Wedding things. haha 

Anyways we made a few soups and just had some junk food to eat off. Then we played a games which was a pound gift. It was so much fun seeing how happy everyone was... Logan and I LOVED it so much cause this was really our first BIG family get together at our house.. 

I love having my family over and i think i want to do this each year. yeah maybe it a lot to get ready for but in the end its totally worth every minute of it... 

So now ENJOY Pictures!!!

I Still think Scott Belly is bigger then mine..

27 Weeks

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


Our little man is weighing in at 2 POUND...
and about 14.5 inches long.


Your not-so-tiny-anymore baby (2 pounds and 14.5 inches long!) is slowly rotating in preparation to “head out” for the grand entrance on their birthday!
Now obviously, this doesn’t happen overnight, but when you start to feel a new sort of pressure "down there" (aka your cervix), you’ll know you’ve got a fully flipped locked-n-loaded womb-fruit waiting for the countdown to launch! If you feel like they're still not flipped, don't worry, you've still got time. Impressive physical developments of the week: your child's lungs are already capable of breathing air as their vascular system can now handle oxygen/carbon exchange and their brain stem can now regulate rhythmic breathing as well as their basal body temperature!
 For what it’s worth, at this point in a healthy pregnancy - if you were to give birth prematurely, your tiny fighter could easily win on the show: “Survivor: The Early Years.” Go ahead, give your belly a gentle hi-five!

Symptoms? Back pain, Boobs are getting tender again, Heartburn, and im starting to swell if im on my feet for to long.

Gender? Handsome little boy!

Excited For? Just getting ready for this little man to be here. I cant wait to start getting his room ready and go do some shopping. The new year is going to be GREAT.

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

Sleep? Its been bad. Im up so much at night to go to the bathroom. I think he has found my bladder and like to jump on it. When i turn side to side i swear i can feel him move from one side to the next. And it doesnt feel good for momma. My hips are killing me at night so im having to move a ton at night. And im having really bad heartburn.. UGH

Movement? This week he has been pretty calm. He moves a lot but not as much as he use to. I think he is just calm cause he knew that mom had a lot to do this week. Christmas eve he was kicking a lot when we were singing song and playing a Christmas game. SO i think he was really wanting to be apart of it.!

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?
Sleep
and my back being normal...

Milestones? 

Making it to 27 weeks.
13 Weeks to go. OR LESS.
Also making it to the 3 and final trimester!!!!!

Cravings? Cookies!!! My mom made Cookies for Christmas and i swear i have ate like 100 in just a few days!!! 

Weight Gain? 20 Pounds.. YUCKY...

I went to my doctor appointment this week and everything looks great. All my test came back normal!! YAY. Baby heart beat is 138 and moving a lot. I have been having a ton of pressure down below so she checked me and im to a 1 already. She isnt worried about it at all. I just have to watch what im doing and make sure im going little as possible. Im really sad that i have to change doctors.. So this was the last time i was going to see this doctor and i was in tears!!! I know the doctor im going to now will be great but its nothing like the doctor you have been going to!! Im such a boob when it comes to this!

26 Weeks

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


Our little man is weighing in at 2 pounds
and about 14 inches long.

At long last your little swimmer can see!
 For the first time ever, your wee babe's eyelids have finally opened (remember: they were fused shut previously) and they’re probably having their first moments of sight as you read this (or maybe it already happened while you were brushing your teeth or browsing the internet or something). In addition to taking in their first visual impressions of their comfy amniotic-filled studio, your little human-bean recently acquired the ability to move their head around. That's right, if your child were clever enough (which they're not - yet), they could engage in that most basic of non-verbal communication - the head shake/nod.

 Not to mention, gawking! In further anti-alien developments: your little super star’s head hair is starting to grow in! Who knows, maybe a cute little cowlick or two is springing into position right now - the first of years of cute-but-stubborn bed-head. Your wee piggy's toenails have recently grown in and they're still slowly piling up fat beneath their still-loose-n-wrinkly skin. Most importantly, their brain tissue and neurons are all developing at a rapid pace, increasing their (genius-level?) brain activity, which will continue to function at accelerated levels for the first eight years of childhood!

Symptoms?  BACK PAIN.. its the worst i tell you.
Heart Burn is getting worst. YUCKY

Gender? Handsome little boy!

Excited For? Christmas!!! This is going to be our last Christmas as a family of three! This time next year this little man will be 9 months and i know he will be having a blast!! Im pretty excited for new years also, not for the partying but it just means we are getting closer to meeting this little guy..

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? He loves to me for mom but he wont move for anyone else! I think he is just wanting to save all the movement for when he is here. I love watching my belly move like crazy! But sometimes i dislike it cause this little guy loves to kick mom in her ribs..

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 26 weeks.
14 Weeks to go. OR LESS.
Connors 6th birthday! I cant believe i have a little 6 year old!

Cravings? WINE, Now that its the Holiday i have been around a lot of wine and im really wanting some!! Other then that i dont have any other cravings

Weight Gain? 13 Pounds


I also had to go and do my glucose test.. Lets just say it was so gross..
After waiting for the hour and taking my blood, I thought it would be a good idea to go and get something to eat with Connor.
As i was driving i starting getting really light headed, dizzy, i was sweating, I was losing my eye sight and just not feeling right. I was at a stop light and had to call Logan to see if there was anyway he would be able to come and drive me home. Lucky he was working close to were i was and he headed over. I dont remember parking the car or going to get food, but i somehow made it there. Once i got some food into me i felt a little better. But not 100%. I was so glad that Logan was close and able to come and help me. I was freaking out and poor Connor was so worried about me.
