3rd Trimester: The Home Stretch!

By
Hip Hip Hooray!!  


Well folks, it's that time again.  Another prego update.
So far so good!
I'm feeling good for the most part.  I am much more achy and sleepless this go around, but then again I am chasing two preschoolers around all day which is something I have never had to do while pregnant before.  And boy do they keep me busy!

I am still CLUELESS as to what this baby's gender is.
One morning I wake up thinking, "This is totally a boy," because I carried so low that day.
Then the next day the baby is totally high up in my ribs which is how Em was....
So it is still completely up in the air.  

For your enjoyment here are the comparison pics.  
All taken at 28 weeks.
Any new guesses?

This pregnancy is different from the others in one way, my lack of heartburn.  I never really had it bad... but I did have it every single night from probably about 20 weeks to the end with both other pregnancies.  This time I have only had it like 3 times, only one of which I took anything for which has been nice.  I hope the old wives's tale isn't true about heartburn = hair.  Nothing against the bald babies out there, I just LOVE how my babies usually come with a full head of hair! The fact that the nurses style it while in the hospital just makes me smile.  Again, only time will tell.  For now I'll just enjoy this super wiggly babe and not having heartburn.  :)

I am excited and nervous about this last trimester.  My Braxton Hicks have already started, which doesn't really bug me, but my stomach does get SUPER firm when then do come.  If I am already this achy now and I know it is going to get worse, I'm worried how well I will function in my current role as mother... :(  Luckily I have lots of family and friends close by that are always willing to lend me a hand which is always greatly appreciated.   But really overall, I'm feeling great.  I walked 4 miles this morning which included going up the huge hill 2 times.  I'm hoping the pool will open up soon so I can start doing laps because that is what I'd really love to do.

Well, that is it for now.  I'll end with some of my silly pics as usual.  :)


Let the countdown Begin!!

Right now my guess is girl. And I'm thinking the park bathroom wall is the perfect spot to take pictures...seriously. You look amazing and can't wait to see this baby!

I need a haircut ASAP! This is me saying, "I'll smile if you ignore my hair." Don't get me wrong, I am really excited I have long hair, I love having long hair , but it needs a little TLC. It has been a few months since I have even got a trim and I am still re-couping from a not so good hair cut. The last few times I have really CUT my hair, not just a trim, I was not pleased with the results. Now it would probably help if I was willing to pay more than $10 for a hair cut . . . but I'm Mrs. High Pockets as my father calls me and it is really hard for me to spend money on my hair. So I need your help! What do you think I should do? Before you make any suggestions you should know: It MUST be able to go back into a ponytail!!!!!!! My hair is STICK STRAIGHT My hair will not curl to save my life (via over night curls, hot curls, even curling irons, they just don't work) I want and need something EASY! I do not like to spend time on my hair and I don...

Em's Blessing

By
Emily's Blessing day was so great! Since we were moving home so soon after she was born, we decided to just wait until we got out here to CA so our family could be there for it. It was pretty low key compared to P's (and by that I mean less family there) but was still just as wonderful. Jeff gave a beautiful blessing. It was also special because she wore the dress I was sealed to my parents in. Jeff wasn't a fan of how long it was for such a small baby, but it was so neat for her to wear something that is so special in my family. The P-man looked like a little stud in his outfit too! I wish I would have gotten some of the two of them together, o-well. It was a fabulous day! Thanks so much for all the family and friends that were there, it meant so much to have you there and we missed those who couldn't come! Isn't she so perfect! I love this picture of her laying on the grass. She is so pure and clean and perfect ! I love her!

Disneyland

By
A little late but . . . We Went To Disneyland! So you may or may not know that we went to Disneyland back in July. It was so much fun! As we were planning the trip I was really worried about how it would be taking 2 babies there, in my mind they were way too young to do anything there but boy was I wrong! All of us had a great time and we all went on tons of rides, even Emily! Here is a list of all the rides we went on: (The bold ones were P's very favorites) Disneyland Railroad Train Enchanted Tiki Room The Jungle Cruise Tarzan's Tree House Pirates of the Caribbean Haunted Mansion Winnie the Pooh It's a Small World Story Book Land canal boats King Aurthur's Carousel Dumbo Mad Tea Party Tea Cups Peter Pan Mr. Toad's Wild Ride Pinocchio Finding Nemo Submarine Autopia (Cars) Did you know babies could do this much! I sure didn't! I even nursed during 4 of the above mentioned rides which was so nice and saved tons of time! They both did so well on all of the...
