34 Weeks!

Just a little over a month to go!:) Can't wait to meet our little guy.....and see my feet again!;)

Feeling okay this week. I've just been having some Braxton Hicks that do get more intense at certain points during the day. If I get off of my feet and drink water it seems to help. I also have been hitting the bathroom almost EVERY time I stand up!!!! He has to be on my bladder more than ever before! Other than that, it is business as usual. Just one more week of Summer and school "officially" starts and I am back to work full time!

How far along? 34 weeks.
Total weight gain: 30 lbs!!!

Symptoms: Feeling large, out of breath and bending is out of the question!:)

Maternity clothes? Feeling like NOTHING fits!

Best moment of this week: Hearing his heartbeat!:)

Food cravings: Tomatoes, cucumbers, Cheetos and Gobstoppers.

What I miss: Just being able to do anything without sweating, breathing heavy or being in pain!

What I am looking forward to: My next appointment to see how big he is and if he is head down!!!!

Your baby's the size of a butternut squash!

At less than two months to go, he weighs in at about 4.2 pounds to 5.8 pounds and measures about 17.2 to 18.7 inches.

• He's recognizing and reacting to simple songs, if you're singing them. (If you're not, start! He may find them soothing after birth.)
• He's also urinating about a pint a day.

If you need a good laugh...

I know this will be our life soon...

33 Weeks!

Feeling like this week is flying by! I've been busy trying to get EVERYTHING on my Summer to do list done before I start work in a little over a week!  I am feeling good. Just trying to deal with being bigger and not having the stamina I had before. There are a lot of things that I WANT to do each day and not being physically able to is hard. So, usually, I do what I can and then wait for Travis to get home from work to do the rest. I think the same is going to be true with my classroom. I am so used to moving furniture and lifting heavy boxes...having no restrictions...it's going to be hard to not just do what needs to be done myself.

Landon is doing good. He is moving NON-STOP!!!! I swear he is doing gymnastic type moves in there all day long. I had a doctor's appointment today and she said that the more movement the better. I was also telling her that he has hiccups ALL THE TIME!:) She said that is also a good thing because it means that his gag reflexes are forming/strong!:) Other than that, it was the usual appointment. He is still measuring for October and his heartbeat was in the 130's. She said that I just need to get through the next 4 weeks and then she is fine with him coming anytime after that....crazy to think that he could be here that soon. But, Travis and I were both SUPER late babies so I have always felt like he would go past my due date. Only time will tell!;)


How far along? 33 weeks.

Ward Baby Shower!!!!

I am so lucky to work with a really wonderful group of ladies. Carol and Laurie threw me a beautiful shower at Carol's house today and all of my fellow teachers were there as well! Everything was so wonderful and I am so blessed to have all of these ladies in my life. They spoiled Landon with his high chair, liteway stroller, bassinet and other wonderful gifts. They also did an owl theme and everything was SO adorable! Thanks again ladies for all of your hard work and for all coming together to celebrate Landon. It meant a lot to me!:)

32 Weeks and Belly Shots!:)

Yay! 8 months down...2 to go!:) So excited to meet Landon. After having both showers I "officially" feel more prepared for him to come anytime now. I've been busy washing his small stuff that he will wear in the beginning and Travis has been putting together all of the new baby gear. We are so lucky to have such generous family and friends. Thanks to them we have all of our big items purchased and we are so thankful for that. I am working on a nesting post with pictures to show everyone what I have been up to....stay tuned for that!;)

Had my doctor's appointment this past week and everything is still looking great. He is still measuring for October 6th and his heartbeat was in the 130's. I also found out that his head is on my lower left side and his feet are up in my right ribs. So, that explains all of the pain/tightening I am having up above.

I scheduled my LAST 5 appointments!!!! At my September 5th appointment I will find out how big he is and   also have an ultrasound done to fine out what position he is in. I am really excited for that. About 50 days to go...crazy!

How far along? 32 weeks.
Total weight gain: I am gonna guess 20ish lbs.

Symptoms: Feeling large, out of breath and bending is out of the question!:)

Maternity clothes? Everything and even moving into a bigger size on most things now.

Best moment of this week: My work baby shower!:)

Food cravings: Back to my good ol' friend Gobstoppers.

What I miss: Just being able to do anything without sweating, breathing heavy or being in pain!

What I am looking forward to: My next doctor's appointment Wednesday.

Your baby's the size of a squash!

Still growing, your baby weighs in at about 2.5 to 3.8 pounds and measures about 15.2 to 16.7 inches.

your baby at 32 weeks

• She's getting ready for her descent -- she's likely in the head-down position now.

Landon's Baby Shower

This past Sunday my mom, grandma and mother-in-law threw Landon the most adorable owl baby shower. Everything was so nice, from the decorations, to the place, food and of course cupcakes!:) All of our family and friends came out and spoiled Landon with awesome baby gear. Travis and I are truly blessed to have such wonderful parents, grandparents, family and friends. I especially want to thank my mom for all of her hard work putting the beautiful shower together. I know she loves me a lot, but I am pretty sure she loves Landon more....already!;)

Here are some pictures to share from the day:
