March 1, 2015

i can't believe its finally the month of march. this is the month were i finally get to meet my little one! saying i'm a little excited is an understatement. i remember finding out clear back in july that i was going to be a mommy and thinking my goodness march is fooooorever away and BAM its finally march. if i was to go on my exact due date i have 19 days to wait to kiss and cuddle that little babe.

i wouldn't mind if it came a little sooner through.

everyday i wonder if he will have hair or no. if he will look more like his daddy or mom. brandon and i can't wait to see what his little personality will be like. the other night brandon said i wonder if he will be more like me or more like you and i replied hopefully both.

(because we both are pretty awesome. hahahahha just kidding)

how far along are you? 37 weeks and day 3 today!

gender? boy! boy! boy!

maternity clothes? i'm at that point where i literally have 5 shirts that still fit and that are long enough. so i'm always in those shirts oh and husbands tee shirts.

how big is baby? size of a winter melon (19-22in and 6.5lbs). is what the app is guessing but last tuesday my doctor estimated him to be around 5 pounds.

weight gain? i've gained a total of 25 so far. doctor says i'm right on track. i'm so proud of myself for gaining that much weight. i love stepping on that scale.

sleep? i'm getting a whole lot of sleep but also not a whole lot at the same time.

couple nights ago we were up because little guy had the hiccups and wouldn't stop moving.

movement? oh yes. sometimes it looks like a creature is in my tummy trying to get out. ha

labor signs? nothing yet. i am dilated to a 1 cm and 60-70% effaced!

best moment this week? pretty much all the way prepared for this little guy! oh and getting to hear his heartbeat every tuesday. (my fav!)

some happy moments? when the baby starts kicking the second brandon gets home and he can hear his daddy's voice. or at church when we sing hymns. he loves music!

what am i looking forward to? being a mom and seeing my baby!

35 weeks!!

35 weeks!

my oh my! i can't believe i'm 35 weeks. do you guys realize that this little guy could come really soon now? its starting to freak me out. when i hit my 35 week mark i realized no more messing around and time to get serious. everyday i'm crossing off things off my to do list. so much to do to prepare for this little guy. i really can't wait. i'm so excited to meet him!

how far along are you? 35 weeks and 5 days to be exact!

gender? BOY!

how big is baby? honeydew melon (19-22in, 5.5lbs!)

maternity clothes? just my one pair of pants! i actually put on these red pants and they buttoned up! i was so impressed. ha ha also started wearing husbands tee shirts. (so smart!)

sleep? i really can't complain i still get good sleep. i wake up a lot during the night and think of things i need to do and i and toss and turn a lot.

movement? this little guy sure does love to kick his mama. the other day my ribs were so sore!

weight gain? last apt i gained 3 pounds in 1 weeks! i'm starting to go every week now. so lets see how much i add on. ain't going to lie stepping on the scale is kinda fun. ha ha my nurse said

"you're the only one who cheers when she steps on the scale!"

food cravings? nothing specific. just like my food!

food aversions? nope! thank heavens!

labor signs? nope. which is wonderful lets keep him cooking a little longer!

belly button in or out? its totally out.

best moment this week? getting more and more ready for him to come and feeling his little movements. he loves church hymns and loves when i'm in the car singing taylor swift. he will always start kicking for those 2 things!

some happy moments? this little guy gets the hiccups everyday. its my favorite to say brandon he has the hiccups! oh and baby showers! they're the best. i have one more this week!

baby boy is spoiled.

what am i looking forward to? seeing this little guy! i can't wait to see what he looks like and

i really just wanna hold my baby in my arms.

ps. i think we will make a pretty cute baby if i do say so myself! ha ha

valentines day 15'

brandon is a gem.

this year we agreed that valentines day will be kept simple.

i made him promise me and promise me over and over that he wouldn't go all out this year. i wanted to save money because you know we will be having a little one soon and we still need to get a few things. baby things are expensive!

on valentines day i slept in and brandon woke up to take a 2 1/2 hour test. when i got up he was right in the middle of it and said i need to show you something he then rushed me to the kitchen and showed me the table. he wrote me such a sweet little letter that i'm going to keep forever and some yummy chocolates that I've already ate most of them. ha ha and the prettiest flowers plus a sparkling drink. when i saw it all he said "what i just had to do something! its small!"

he was scared he was going to get in trouble. ha ha

i don't know what i did to deserve you brandon grange but boy i'm so glad i did!

^^roses are so simple but so beautiful!^^

^^making sugar cookies for valentines day!^^

^^that day my little nephew mason was getting sealed in the ogden temple. it was such a sweet moment. he's the cutest little thing. annnnd i can't believe the temple grounds had flowers in febuary!! what the what!^^

^^my brothers don't do bright sun very well. ha ha^^

^^the sweetest little family of 4!^^

^^i like to think this is mason waving at me. ha ha hi aunt jennie!^^

^^these 2 birth mothers are wonderful. i love them both so very much!^^

^^karter k naisbitt you have my heart!^^

^^i asked her if we could take a picture and she says yes but i sit right here. ha ha^^

^^CUTEST PIGTAILS!^^

^^valentines day night we order Chinese take out and watched some netflix. it was very relaxing and perfect alone time with my hubby!^^

I love you my valentine! i'm so happy that every year you will be my valentine and that next year i'll also have another little valentine in my life.
