wow time sure is flying by 3-6 weeks left


I had two baby showers this last week one at Kings Temple Day Care and one at Grandma's house.  Baby girl got so many cute things and outfits she is so loved and spoiled, thank you so much ladies for everything I had a great time at both showers and it was so nice to see everyone. My brother Paul came to visit this last weekend from Arizona to watch the Cardinal and Seahawk game, the Cardinals lost and the Seahawks didn't play the best game but we still had fun.  It was raining, windy and cold thank goodness we brought blankets with us.  We were up high in the stadium undercover walking up the steps to get to the seats was a killer for me but my pregnant body made it.  Baby girl loved the football game she was mvoing around all over the place during the game, she will be like her mom a huge fan I can not wait. The whole weekend I was having braxton hicks and felt really uncomfortable my belly was super tight and sore.

I went to the Dr on Mon Oct 25 she told me that if I keep having contractions or if they get painful they will not stop the contractions after 34 weeks, I'm now 34 weeks they are not painful just uncomfortable and there. I have so far gained 20 pounds and still measuring right on track we are still healthy and doing good.  Baby girl is finally in the right position head down I defiantly feel more pressure on my lower abdomen and more kicks in my upper belly but I do feel her move all over the right and sometime on the left side of my body.

I'm just now starting to feel really tired again and just uncomfortable the other day was the first time I said I was wanting her out, never thought I would feel that way but sitting, sleeping and just doing simple things has become a chore. I'm still doing yoga and water aerobics which is getting more difficult to do and I have been seeing a chiropractor to help me stay aligned.  I still have so much to do before she comes, I'm going to have a cleaning service come in to do a deep clean on the house and help me get ready for her arrival.  I can not wait to see and hold my precious little girl not much longer I have 3-6 weeks left wow were did the time go.

My Sweet Little Pumpkin Seed




















My sweet little pumpkin seed is bouncing around and is as happy as can be turning my belly into a big pumpkin. I have heard so many horror stories about the 3rd trimester and thought it would be a little miserable but it isn't bad at all, I feel great. I went to the Dr on the 4th and I finally gained some weight, doing pretty good only gained 15 pounds so far. I'm measuring right on time and everything is still looking healthy. Seems like every time I go they chase after me with a needle, this time they had a long talk about the flu shot and I finally gave in thank goodness it didn't make me sick like I feared.  Im so lucky I dont have any strech marks on my belly I have a few on my side but not much and they are small I put all kinds of strech mark and vitamin E lotions on morning and night I hope that it keeps working.  My belly button hasn't popped out yet Im hoping it stays in but Im afraid it will come out soon. On the 25 I go back and we will start measuring baby girl and see how she is laying I'm hoping that she turned and is feet up I don't want her to be breech. I have had many talks with her about it lol yes I do believe she listens to me told her so far our journey together has been pretty smooth and easy lets make the journey coming into the world the same if we work together we can get through it she just needs to be positioned the right way lol lets see if she listens. Im really wanting to go natural so I am praying that everything works out if not Im open to other plans and decisions that I might have to make. She is such a good girl she lets me sleep and doesn't kick me too hard.

I'm back to going to water aerobics on tues nights and yoga fri and sun I even got a prescription for massage once a week which I will incorporate with chiropractic care. Roger and I have been taking a Thurs night 6 week baby prep class to get us ready for labor we have one more class then we will be taking a Thurs night 2 week baby class on what to do after she is born, the second class is more for Roger need to get him prepared. I think we are on the right tract to getting prepared for her arrival. We even traded my nissan maxima which I loved in for a family car a fully loaded 2010 Nissan Platinum Armada, it is so nice I love it. I just need to get the house together and put her nursery together shouldn't take to long just need to get it done. I have my baby shower this week and I'm very excited to see everyone, it is going to be lots of fun. We are very excited and I can not wait to see my sweet little pumpkin face for the first time. Not much longer have 5-8 weeks left I can not wait.
