36 weeks pregnant today!

 This week!

How Far Along:
36 weeks... Just 4 weeks to go!

Size of baby: iphone app says baby should be about 6lbs and that
next week it's considered full term!

Total Weight Gain/Loss: 36lbs

Movement: Hiccups and lots of movement

Symptoms: Same as the last couple weeks , Joint pain, hands,knees, pelvic area. Emotional, I cry very easily, I'm more sensitive too these days.

What I'm looking forward to? This weekend, the nursery will arrive, finally!
and looking forward to finally meeting this precious little baby we made.
Excited!

Yesterday I was looking for Zoe and she always comes when I call. So when she doesn't
it's usually because she is somewhere that she shouldn't be, or she escaped outside.

Well....

She was where she shouldn't be. Can't blame her, all the baby things are soft and cozy. I covered them all up with garbage bags for now. I know she will get to them eventually.


I hope Zoe adapts well to the baby.  Right now she is always around me. She follows me everywhere, when I'm relaxing she always comes to sleep on my legs or beside me. Love my little cat, I hope she loves the baby too.


We also installed the Car seat!

It was easy to install so that was good. Our Suv has latches so it was just snapping them in and making them tight, funny thing is we also put the seat belt through too, but afterwards I read the manual again and having those latches alone is fine.



It's another busy weekend ahead. Grandmas 80th bday party, and Thanksgiving.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

My favorite tv shows!

I was never a huge sit in front of the tv kinda person, but in my third trimester I had many stay off my feet days.

For any of you home during the days, what are your favorite shows?

The show's I watch are:

The Chew

The Talk (sometimes)

And General Hospital, my favorite soap since I was a kid watching with my mom! Ha!

In between I always look for a good house hunters episode. Love almost anything on hgtv. ;)

Wednesday nights are my full tv days ha! Last week I thought my head was going to explode because I was in front of the tv wayyy too long. Not a fan of doing that.

But tonight Up all night, Modern Family and Happy Endings are my fav Wed night shows ;)

Do you have a tv night full of great shows?

In my Ninth Month of Pregnancy!

I'm officially in my last month. The ninth month. 
 
I'm excited and so happy to meet my little baby that's been growing inside me. 
I get a overwhelming feeling that makes me hold my breath and makes my heart beat 
faster when I think of what he will look like and the thought of holding his soft 
little hands makes my heart melt.
 
Friends and family are betting on his due date. And all are in the end of October. 
We'll see!
This weekend we put together some items for him. :)   
Bouncer we can travel with

The Swing!

The Playpen!
My friend that had her baby last week wrote a really cute post with so many
amazing photos.  Check out her blog!

Wedding Fun!

 Yesterday all the bridesmaid and myself ( The MOH) went to get our measurements done for my sisters wedding in March! It was funny when all the girls complained equally about their measurements. It was tough when it came to mine, since baby K is taking up all my tummy :) So we measured bust and hips and took a guess. The dress I ordered will have a waist size of 32 1/2 So I will have 3 months to get it down to that or less! Fingers crossed for me mama's! Hips were and always have been my issue. But these dresses flow nicely from the waist down so I think it will be ok.... I hope haha!

My niece was sooooo excited! She had to try on a dress. She was so happy to be doing things with the girls. She's growing up soo fast!

And the Bride's dress was in tooo!!! It was a surprise to the bride! She tried it on and it fit perfectly! It was sooo pretty! All the bridesmaids were soo excited to see it too.


The weekend is here yay! I'm loving this fall weather. This weekend will be beautiful here too. Hope you all have a great fall weekend!

35 week OB appointment and Fall pics!


 The leaves are changing! The weather is still pretty mild here. So even though I have been wearing my tights/sweaters and new boots, it's actually kinda warm for them haha.

I put my mini pumpkins out in the front, but soon will buy the big ones! Love Fall!




Love this picture



Today I had my 35 week appointment. I'm not 35 weeks till Thursday though.

Doctor said baby is growing, head is still down and that's what is causing pressure and my swollen hands and feet. Baby's heartbeat is perfect and my blood pressure is in the normal range. My weight jumped a bit since last appt 2 weeks ago... OB wasn't concerned so that's good.... Just 5 weeks to go!

Weekend events, Wedding and Bridal shower!

 It was a fun and busy weekend! Saturday my cousin got married! The ceremony was beautiful and bride and groom looked amazing!

The weather was perfect, it was a gorgeous day. After the ceremony my family came back to my place for lunch and to freshen up for the evening reception.
Husband and I

Family
 When we got to the reception they had a photo area with a photographer taking pics of all the guests. They had cute props too.



 The reception was soo nice, it was really fun being with our family, celebrating a wonderful couple. 
 We are sooo happy for the bride and groom!
The party was great, and we were the last ones to leave hahah!

I was exhausted!!! But had to wake up early on Sunday to get ready for another event! I had my other cousin's bridal shower! Great food and games. It was really fun. She had a tiffany themed shower. It looked really nice.


Once I got home I went straight to bed. 34 weeks preggo and these busy weekends make for some swollen hands and feet.

Hope you all had a great weekend too!

I think I will need the whole week to relax.

This week!
How Far Along: 34 weeks!
Size of baby: 4.75-5.3lbs!
Total Weight Gain/Loss: gain 36lbs eek
Movement: lots of hiccups!
Sleep: Sleep is good, minus waking up to numb hands
Symptoms: Joint pain and feeling more tired.
Best Moment so far: My baby shower!
What I'm looking forward to? meeting my little guy!

Some new items:


I was going back and forth about getting the breast pump. I asked so many moms their opinion and decided that getting one is the right choice for me. We also got the Angel Care Video Monitor. I read great reviews on it and hope it works great for us too.



My friend over at http://www.believinginserendipity.com/  is in labour! She was feeling contractions yesterday then woke up at night with them closer together, 15min then 10 min then 5 min apart!
She texted me this morning and she received the epidural and is 3.5cm dilated
She is doing fine so far and says everything is going smoothly! Her due date was Sept 28
so her little guy is a little early. Gives me the feeling that my little guy will be
an October baby instead of Nov. We'll see!

I'm so excited for her!

Mama's out there with any advice about labour,  please send it over! Only 6 weeks left to go!
I wonder if I will get contractions throughout the day too, giving me time to prepare... or will my water break suddenly, hmm...I can't believe how fast time has gone by!


I set up the bassinet. It's so cute, I love it! And soon will get the husband to instal the car seat in the car.





My other baby gives it a thumb up ahaha
Zoe thinks it's awesome

We have a busy weekend. My cousin is getting married! And we have my other cousin's bridal shower Sunday. Fun, Busy weekend! (and lots of yummy food too!)


Happy first day of Fall!
