36!

1 month to go! We are getting SO excited and SO ready to meet our sweet baby girl! 

Last Friday, I went to see Dr. E.  It looks like my body is getting ready to have this baby!  I get to go off of bedrest and my meds on Monday @ 37 weeks!! Shouldn't be long after that until we are holding sweet Ashlynn!  

She wasn't moving a ton the day of my appt, so they decided to do a sono to check everything out.  She was looking great when we peeked!  It looks like she has hair, and that she is going to be a BIG baby! Here is a pic from the sono:

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 36 weeks

Size of baby: Should be around 18.5 inches, and 6 lbs, about the weight of a crenshaw melon...but she was measuring 7.2 lbs last week during the sono, and the tech said she could be a 9 pounder!

Weight gain: +27

Maternity Clothes: My new wardrobe consists of shorts, pj pants and tshirts...

Gender: GIRL!!! Ashlynn Marie!

Movement: It has slowed down some, since she is getting so big.  But she still makes sure we know that she is in there!

Sleep: It takes me forever to fall asleep these days, and I am getting up a lot more to go to the bathroom.  

Symptoms:  Waddling, sore back, and def. hormones this week

What I miss: Driving and eating at places besides my couch!

Cravings: I have really been craving fruit and chocolate milk again

Best Moment this week: Seeing our sweet little girl on the sono (And getting to share that with my mom!)

What I am looking forward to: My doctors appt on Thursday, and getting off of bedrest!!

35:The Magic Number

35 weeks down and 35 days to go!

This week has been about the same.  I have had a few more contractions here and there, but the meds are still doing their trick.  I have also started to waddle, and become extremely tired. I go to the doctor this Friday, so I am excited to see how things are looking! 


We will also be celebrating our last Christmas as a family of 2!  I will be honest, I haven't felt the Christmas spirit too much this week...being stuck at home, and not being able to go spend Christmas with family just feels kind of weird.  I am just grateful that baby girl has stayed in this long!


Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 35 weeks

Size of baby: 18 inches, and she should be around 5.25 lbs, about the weight of a honeydew melon...not too much longer until we get to see how big she actually is!

Weight gain: +25

Maternity Clothes: My new wardrobe consists of shorts, pj pants and tshirts

Gender: GIRL!!! Ashlynn Marie!

Movement: As crazy as ever! Still hiccuping and loves to react to her daddy's voice!

Sleep: When I am asleep I sleep good.  I think my body is just preparing me to live on little sleep, because I can't fall asleep, wake up (and stay up) a few times a night, and wake up early.

Symptoms:  I think I started "waddling" when I walk...

What I miss: Enjoying the sights/sounds/smells of Christmas

Cravings: Lately I haven't had too many cravings....It's more so that nothing sounds good to eat, and I am really indecisive about food

Best Moment this week: Last week was pretty uneventful, which is good news in the world of baby baking!

What I am looking forward to: My next appt. with Dr. E is on Friday! And then Christmas will be here! I am looking forward to spending this last Christmas as a family of 2, and celebrating the birth of our Savior!

34!

 
One more down....

Only six weeks to go! Hopefully a little less! (Whenever God is ready to send her out, really!)

Everything was looking good at my appt last week. Really no changes (which is a plus!) We are so excited to meet Ashlynn and love on her! I can't believe how close we are getting!

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 34 weeks

Size of baby: 18 inches, and she should be around 4.75 lbs, about the weight of a cantelope...not too much longer until we get to see how big she actually is!

Weight gain: +25

Maternity Clothes: My new wardrobe consists of shorts, pj pants and tshirts

Gender: GIRL!!! Ashlynn Marie!

Movement: Still moving all over! This week we started feeling her feet when they would kick out...it is a pretty amazing experience!

Sleep:  Some nights are good, and then some mornings I wake up feeling exhausted

Symptoms:  A few new "not blogging about" symptoms. I have been pretty tired lately too (Not sure how since I lay on a couch all day!)

What I miss: Dates with my husband

Cravings: Lately I haven't had too many cravings....It's more so that nothing sounds good to eat, and I am really indecisive about food

Best Moment this week: Went to Dr. E last week, and all is looking great! My next appt is in 2.5 weeks (apparently he decided he needs a vacation lol!)

What I am looking forward to: I ordered Christmas presents online this week, and they should all be coming in this week!

33 weeks!

7 weeks to go!

Thankfully, this was a very uneventful week pregnancy wise! I have started feeling "very pregnant" this week. We got our glider in this week, and her room is looking great! Our next appt is Wed, so hopefully all is still looking great then!


Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 33 weeks

Size of baby: 17 inches, and she should be around 4 lbs, about the weight of a pineapple...My stomach was measuring 33.5 weeks almost 2 weeks ago, so she is probably bigger than that!

Weight gain: +23

Maternity Clothes: My new wardrobe consists of shorts, pj pants and tshirts

Gender: GIRL!!! Ashlynn Marie!

Movement: Crazy! She has started hiccuping more, and she has started kicking/hitting my bladder again

Sleep:  Sleep has been ok, although I have started to wake up more to go to the bathroom throughout the night

Symptoms:  A few new "not blogging about" symptoms. I am hungry alot, but food is not sounding food.  I also have some back pain throughout the day.

What I miss: Fresh air, sights/smells of Christmas

Cravings: Lately I haven't had too many cravings....It's more so that nothing sounds good to eat, and I am really indecisive about food

Best Moment this week: Mark got to go to his man shower, and had a great time! We are so blessed!

What I am looking forward to: Next dr. appt is Wed!
