28 Weeks!

How Far Along: 28 Weeks. Third Trimester!

Total Weight Gain: 9 Pounds total so far.

Movement: Hes been moving lots! Also, he has found my ribs an awesome place to hang out. He goes up there and he kicks at me while I push his little booty out. and 20 minutes later we play all over again. He finds it a great time and I feel like my ribs are broken :)

Sickness: No more morning sickness. Meat is still sort of rough. I can eat it here and there. But besides that my appetite seems pretty much back to normal!

Cravings: These last few weeks I have had A LOT of potato soup, and a lot of potato bowls from KFC. Not 100% sure if I would consider them "cravings" though.

Gender: Still boy!

Symptoms: Not very many symptoms going on lately. Its hard to sleep..i feel like i need to stretch out on literally the entire bed. My poor husband. And because Landon has taken up space around my ribs im having some troubles breathing and feel like my ribs are broken. But no back pain or anything like that in the last few weeks.

Happy or Moody: Overall I have been pretty good.. being tired has been making me moody but I seem to be in pretty good spirits!

Looking Forward to: Our 4D ultra sound tomorrow!! Whoohooo! and there is only about 2.5 more weeks till my sister gets here which is SO SO SO exciting! and of course this coming month ( November) my maternity shoot and baby shower are coming up as well!

Pumpkin Belly & Cupcakes!

I always see people who are pregnant around holidays painting their belly holiday related characters. Since I have siblings that are 8 and 6 I thought it would be so fun to let them paint my belly a pumpkin! So, i got some paint and some cupcake makings and we made a night out of it! :)

And the painting begins:

While we waited for the paint to dry so we could make faces, the kids got their faces painted by Neal :)

After the paint dried we started on the face. ( This was a long process and a lot of standing for this 6 1/2 month pregnant chick) But sooo much fun!

Finished Pumpkin.

After we did the painting and all 3 of us ( well....6 including the parents and Kristina) got cleaned up we decided we should probably frost our halloween cupcakes!! These lucky kids stayed up 3 hours past their bedtime for lots of fun. The holidays with family are always the best <3

Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Day

Today we remember all those babies who have gone...way to soon. Today really pulls at my heart. My first baby I lost January 28th 2012. I had only known I was pregnant for a few weeks but that was my baby. I had planned for that baby and loved that baby from the moment I saw a positive on the test. Even though I am pregnant now with a healthy little boy, my due date still sits heavily in my mind. I feel Landon's little kicks and learn his personality and wonder what kind of personality that little one would have had. Would he/she have been a day or night baby. Would he/she kick hard or light. Would she/he push back when I pushed at my belly. What cravings would we have had together? These thoughts make me sad. Even though all of this is sad I know that my baby is in a better place and loved and I will some day get to meet him/her. I know everything happens for a reason but I don't think that one day, week, or month passes to this day without remembering my sweet little love. <3

25 Weeks Pregnant!

How Far Along: 25 Weeks! Already.

Total Weight Gain: 7 Pounds! ( Finally gained at this appointment)

Movement: Mostly he's the most active at night time. I feel him on and off throughout the day but its mostly him just rolling around. At night time he goes crazy kicking and whatever else he finds fun to do in there :)

Sickness: No more morning sickness. Meat is still sort of rough. I can eat it here and there. But besides that my appetite seems pretty much back to normal!

Cravings: Movie Theater Popcorn.Lots of Butter and an Icee. I have been wanting that ALL WEEK!

Gender: Boy

Symptoms: Lots of back pain going on. Not much of a bath person but late at night they have been a life saver. They also help me relax enough to fall asleep. Also, I have had heart burn twice this last month. I have never had it in my life so, that was new for me. Wasnt to bad to handle. Both times it lasted about an hour then went away.

Happy or Moody: Getting slightly moody. But overall I haven't been to bad.

Looking Forward to: Our 28 week appointment & our 4D Ultra Sound later that day. Jimmy will finally get to see him at the actual Ultra Sound this time! Can't wait to see him probably for the last time before he's here!
