30 Weeks

30 weeks

How far along? 30 weeks 4 days.

Total weight gain: 27 pounds.

Maternity clothes? It’s getting harder and harder to find something to wear. I haven’t bought any new maternity clothes yet, there’s nowhere to buy them here and I’m scared to buy them online without trying them on. Today I wore a maxi skirt purely for the comfort of it! I literally have about one pair of pants I can comfortably wear, one pair of leggings and a few maxi skirts…like I said it’s getting slim pickings around here.

 Stretch marks? I think I might have a couple new ones, but I really didn’t notice how many I had before so it’s hard to tell. I guess it’s never really bothered me enough. Luckily I’m not one to get a stomach full of stretch marks, or else I’m sure it would bother me.

Sleep: Ugh sleep, its finally getting harder for me. Thankfully I’m still so exhausted that I can sleep pretty decently but it’s harder and harder to get comfortable and especially hard to flip sides when I get uncomfortable. My back aches every single night.

Best moment this week? Yesterday we all took a nap, literally all of us!! That never happens!! Then after we woke up Brody wanted everyone to watch the movie Jamangi while eating apple slices with caramel and drinking water, it was a pretty relaxing and good day J

Miss anything? Energy as always and I’m really starting to miss not feeling fat. I know I’m not fat, that I’m pregnant but there comes a point in pregnancy where you just start to feel chubby.

Movement: He seems to get the hiccups a lot, at least a couple times a day!! He still isn’t my most active baby but he definitely does move around at certain times of the day.

Food cravings: Not much, Saturday I really wanted a chocolate milkshake, but other than that no cravings going on here.

 
Food aversions: Nothing.

Boy or girl:Boy J

Labor signs: No

Symptoms: I would say my symptoms are pretty much the same as my last couple updates. Fatigue, stuffy nose, horrific back aches in the morning and insanely unstable hormones. The only thing new is my heart burn is basically here for good and I’m pretty sure I have something like acid reflex..whatever it is it’s not fun!

Belly Button in or out? Still working its way out.

Wedding ring on or off? Off.

Looking forward to: Kinsley and I’s trip to see my parents!! We are going to go to Portland and Seattle…I cannot even begin to express how excited I am about this!!!

Fun facts: Only 66 more days until baby boy is here! YAY! I would have to say that I’m not totally done with this pregnancy but I wouldn’t mind the time going by fast either. I think mainly because I’m just feeling frumpy. I hate to admit it because I don’t want to be one of those downers but I have been hitting a low as far as self-esteem goes. The doctor recommended not exercising because of all the bleeding I was experiencing just to be safe and that has not helped with my weight gain. It is frustrating though because I feel like I don’t eat very much at all. I have next to no cravings and rarely ever pig out on anything fattening. Yesterday I got my chocolate milkshake I had been wanting and it was maybe the second one of the whole pregnancy. I am by no means humongous but the fact that I’ve already gained 27 pounds freaks me out, not going to lie!! I just don’t feel great about myself, I’m ready to not be preggers anymore and get exercises going again. I seriously can’t wait to lose this and whatever other weight I gain.

 I really haven’t had much motivation to take a picture so this week is unfortunately picture free; I wanted to do an update though because it’s been too long! I am going to try really hard to start doing these posts weekly again.



More cousin fun

More Cousin Fun

Thursday and Friday

January 1st and 2nd, 2015

 

Thursday

 

Bro and Kins have seriously been in heaven ever since the cousins got here!! There hasn't been a moment of dullness! They don't have any cousin's yet on my side of the family so I was glad when Bro instantly had cousin's on Ian's side. These girls have been so much fun, I wish we could see them more often.

 

 

Thursday night they all played hide and seek and had a blast!! Here's Lizzy finding Bro and Kinsley in my closet.

 

 

Friday

 

I can't get over how good these girl's are with Kins, they never once acted like they were too old for her or that she was too little and a bother to play with. They ALWAYS made sure to include her in the fun. Kinsley is lucky to have them as cousins :) 

 

They loved spinning her around, I would say she liked it a lot too.

 

Then they started playing some game with all their feet in a circle, I'm not sure what it was but they had fun with it.

 

They decided to play some more hide and seek, It was Kinsley and Lizzy's turn to count. How cute are they!?

 

I couldn't help but take some pictures of these cuties.

 

Then they started getting goofy.

 

I know there's a ton of pictures but I just couldn't choose between them, They were having so much fun together!

 

The things these guys came up with cracked me up! This is a tub that hooked onto one of Brody's old tents...I have no idea how all three of them fit in it.

 

Just relaxing at the end of a fun filled day.

 

I can't express how grateful I am that Brody and Kinsley have such fun cousins, what better friends to have growing up then lots of fun cousins!? What a fun week for all of them.



Let it snow

Let It Snow

Thursday

January 1st, 2015

 

A while ago we bought the kids a bunch of snow stuff, like their boots gloves and hats in hopes that they would get to use them. I think I was almost as excited as the kids to wake up and see snow this morning! The first thing they did after waking up was get ready and head outside.

 

 

 

I'm pretty sure Bro would have liked to throw that snow ball at me haha.

 

Lizzy and Kinsley absolutely loved being together, Lizzy is sooo good with her. I think Kins has a new bestfriend!
