32 Long weeks

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

ARE WE DONE YET....

Our little man is weighing in at 3 3/4 pounds
and about 16.7 inches long.
The size of a Large Jicama


In the latest womb reports, your amazing baby has now developed sensitivity to temperature! Which means you’re likely to get a swift kick if you put a hot pad or bag of ice on your ginormous belly. For the Elton John lovers out there - baby’s got blue eyes. Actually, even if you're too young to know who Elton is, all babies have blue eyes at this point. This could easily change after birth (or even between now and labor), but for the time being, blue it is. Thanks to their recently matured lungs and a strengthening immune system, over 90% of babies born in their 32nd week survive! So - go ahead and throw a mini-party right now because it’s pretty much a done deal - you've got a human-bean that's going to make it! That's not to say you actually want your wee womb-squatter to pack their bags and move out now, because they'd still end up in the ICU for a good while, rather than in your arms at home. Babies are best when fully baked!

 By now, your baby weighs 3 3/4 pounds (about the size of a large jicama) and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You're gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, she'll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb. She now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). Her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth.

Symptoms?  This week has been pretty bad for me! I cry over nothing and my mood changes with each minutes that passes. I feel bad for Logan and Connor. Everything gets to me, like im sure i sound like a bitch 99% of the time.
 My sciatic nerve is going to be the death of me. It hurts to be on the feet for along period, cause my back will start hurting. At night I'm also getting dang restless leg syndrome..

Can the next 8 weeks go fast!!!

Gender? Handsome little boy!

Excited For?

 Baby showers.
Getting Izaac Room all set up! I cant wait to finally see how it will all look in the end!

Maternity Clothes? OH YES. I think i would die without these. They are a women best friend.

Sleep? Well it been getting better now that i have this bad boy! But with my sciatic nerve and restless legs and having to pee 4 times a night, im not getting as much sleep as i would hope.

Movement? LOTS!!!! He is always moving. I think its pretty funny to watch my belly go crazy! 

Belly Button Status? Even with belly. Sometime you can see my belly button through my shirt but not every day! 

Missing Anything?
Laying on my belly.
Legs not hurting 24/7
Not being moody all the time.

Cant believe the difference. 

 
   

Milestones? 

Making it to 32 weeks.
8 Weeks to go. OR LESS.
Down to the single digits in weeks.
Painting Izaac room

Cravings? Nothing really this week. I have noticed that i'm not hungry all the time like i normal am. 

Weight Gain?  25 Pounds.
I hate thinking of how much i have gained. Everyone says it doesn't look like i have other then my belly but i can tell. It makes me sad cause i know its going to be hard to lose again!!!

Here is a little sneak peak of Izaac Room. 

Connor helped me pick out the colors and helped me paint all day. It was so cute to see how excited  Connor was to help with his brothers room. 

I cannot wait to show more!!  

Izaac Paul

So i couldn't wait at all! I just had to see my little guy one last time before he got here. 

I called Fetal Fotos to see what it was to do an 3d ultrasound, and comes to find out that since i had been there before when we found out the gender i was able to get $30 off!! So i couldn't pass it up. I made an appointment for the next day at 6:30. I swear that day went by so slow!!!

We asked both our moms and my little sister to come with us. Since they wont be in the delivery room we thought this would be a good time for them to see Izaac before he came. 

Izaac was being stubborn and wouldn't move his hand from his face. He had the umbilical cord in his hand and his hand up on his face. We were able to get some good pictures after trying and trying! I had to move from side to side to see if it would move his hand but nothing worked. Oh and Izaac already has a head FULL of hair!!!!

At one point he stuck his tongue out, and Connor thought it was the funniest thing in the world. I always tell Connor that he has to be nice to my belly (cause he likes to try and wake him up) or his brother will come out and be mean right back to him. Looks like the brother fights have already started! :) I love it cause Connor is always talking about how Izaac stuck his tongue out at him!

We got the whole thing on a DVD and once i upload it i will make sure to post the video. But for now enjoy my little Izaac Paul..

I'M IN LOVE

31 Weeks

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

ARE WE DONE YET....

Our little man is weighing in at 3.5  POUND...
and about 16 inches long.
The size of a Coconut


With each added layer of baby fat, your baby's wrinkly raisin skin starts to look more and more like it will when they're born. The heavy news: you can expect your miracle-gro muffin to gain about a half a pound of weight per week from now until about two weeks before birth. Your baby's developing immune system has made some serious gains over the past weeks getting them in full gear to face our disease-ridden world o’ wonders. Even so, a large majority of your child’s immune strength will need to come from your milk in the first year. Their cute little noggin’ (which could already be covered with luscious locks or just purty peach fuzz), is still soft because the skull bones have not yet fused together.
 As disturbing as having an infant with a soft cracked skull sounds, it's pretty much a necessity for passage through the birth canal during labor. If your baby is in your birth canal for an extended period, they'll come out with a bit of a cone head, as a result of their skull plates being compressed while in your rather snug birth canal. It's normal, harmless and their skull will even out into a more round, less cone-heady shape in the next few weeks. Oh, and FYI: your baby may have that “soft spot” on their head for up to eighteen months after birth.

 This week, your baby measures over 16 inches long. He weighs about 3 1/3 pounds (about the size of a coconut) and is heading into a growth spurt. He can turn his head from side to side, and his arms, legs, and body are beginning to plump out as needed fat accumulates underneath his skin. He's probably moving a lot, too, so you may have trouble sleeping because your baby's kicks and somersaults keep you up. Take comfort: All this moving is a sign that your baby is active and healthy.

Symptoms?  My sciatic nerve is going to be the death of me. It hurts to be on the feet for along period. At night I'm also getting dang restless leg syndrome.. 

Gender? Handsome little boy!

Baby shower in Idaho
and seeing my little Izaac..

Cravings? Nothing really this week. I have noticed that i'm not hungry all the time like i normal am. 

Weight Gain? Well it looks like i have been wrong for the last few weeks but i'm close to 25 Pounds.
I hate thinking of how much i have gained. Everyone says it doesn't look like i have other then my belly but i can tell. It makes me sad cause i know its going to be hard to lose again!!!




I went in to my doctor Friday and Everything went great!
Izaac heart beat was 140 i'm measuring about 32 1/2 weeks and she is happy with my weight gain.
We also talked about how i want my labor to go.
This time i really want to try and natural. So i'm looking into things that might help me along the way.
It will just be Logan and I in the room. He really makes me calm and that whats i need when i'm trying to go natural. I will be able to walk around as much as i want, they will have the exercise ball ready for me and they will even have the tub in the room for me. No i will not be having a water birth but it will be there just in case i want to get in the tub and relax.
She talked about different meds that i can take that will ease the pain off. One is called the walking epidural . She says a lot more people are doing it and they are happy with it. So who knows maybe if i get to my breaking point i might have to go to this!
 Over the last week i have been getting really scared cause i don't think i will be able to do it, i'm scared i wont be able to breast feed and i'm just scared. But talking with my doctor made me feel 100% better! Its actually making me excited..
All i know is my little man will be here with us soon and we cannot wait to hold and love on him! :)
