34 weeks


I am 34 weeks and feeling it. Today was my Dr appointment and it went as usual. They weighed me and I am 139 pounds. I have gained 2 pounds in 2 weeks, so far I have gained 30 pounds this pregnancy. We got to listen to the babies heart beat again and it was at 155 bpm when she was moving and when she stopped moving it was around 135.

It's weird sometimes I still get morning sickness. Which I am so over and I am so over being hungry all the time, nothing sounds good anymore but I no I have to eat. I am also excited to be able to sleep in any position I want. I can only sleep on my left side which makes for an uncomfortable night considering my left side goes numb and crampy after a few hours.

It's defiantly worth it all but I know when I am able to see her and hold her it will be amazing and know those 9 months is worth the uncomfortableness, sickness and lack of sleep. Which yes I know that the lack of sleep will continue and I will become a zombie mom but we are excited for her appearance.

I am also kind of nervous I don't know if it is the fact of having 3 kids and only 2 hands. I wasn't nervous before with the first 2, so I don't no quite what it is but I better get over it quick because she won't wait around for me.

We aren't that old are we?

The other day we were driving in the car and started talking about things we have now a days like laptops, cellphones etc, that we didn't have or couldn't afford when we were growing up. Kenzie jumped in and started asking us questions for example, what happens if you go to the store and didn't have a cell phone, how can you call people. We told her that you would have to wait until you get home to use your home phone. Then she asked what is a home phone, then we explained what it was. But she couldn't grasp the thought that you couldn't take it with you when you leave the house.

Then she asked us if we had paper back then, all we could do was laugh I didn't think we were that old. But we explained to her that we had paper back then and we weren't born in the stone age lol. Kids must be really spoiled these day's just like my parent's told us growing up that we were spoiled and are lucky for what we have.

Time's have defiantly changed from when I was growing up technology has expanded and opened a new world of communication, and it is only going to go up from here.

Just thought I would share I thought it was hilarious that Kenzie thought we didn't have paper growing up!!!

32 weeks

Today I hit my 32 weeks of pregnancy and can definitely feel it, having a hard time getting a good nights sleep. Can barley bend over, luckily I have such sweet kids that look out for me and helps out as much as they can.

I had another feto echo cause last time they found a cyst on her brain and wanted a check up. Thankfully they found that it was gone and she is growing healthy, she actually weighs 4 pds and 6oz so far. We are so happy that it is gone waiting 2 months to find out if it has resolved was really hard. Lots of prayers and anxiety in those 2 months. So we are thankful that it disappeared, and she is doing good. She also is head down but we aren't ready for her yet she still needs some growing.

It was fun seeing her that big in my tummy usually you only get to see them when you find out what you are having. Boy can I tell you that they are squished in there. We saw her face and it was all smashed up snuggling her hand. We were even able to see her open and shut her mouth like she was giving kisses.

Later that day I had my OB appt. They took my weight and I am weighing in at 137 pds. So far this pregnancy I have gained 28 pds. I will defiantly surpass Braxton pregnancy at gaining 29 pds.

Again they checked the babies heart beat and it was 147. And measured my stomach every thing looks good. I will back in 2 weeks for another check up.

4 day weekend

Tyler had 4 days of this weekend it was nice to have help around the house and help with the kids. We were suppose to get Ashleigh and Jackson but they both ended up sick so they stayed at there mom's house. Tyler was sad cause he hasn't had a weekend off for a few months and was excited to spend all weekend with them. He had plans for them but it will have to wait.

It defiantly was one of the most expensive weekends we have had. I guess Tyler can't take a long weekend cause he likes to spend money but It was fun. I told him we would have to work over time to make it up lol.

Wednesday he decided last minute to take Kenzie and Braxton to a movie a late movie it started at 9:40 p.m. So I warned him that Thursday they are all his, cause we had to get up at 6:30 a.m for kenzie clinic. Anyways they watch We bought a zoo. The kids enjoyed it and Tyler did also. They talked about the movie for a few days. I guess I will have to red box it.

Friday Kenzie had a field trip with her school so we went to the State Capitol. We were suppose to get a tour and see legislator's in action. But I guess they thought it was to much for the Kindergartner's so They played some games with other class mates and went on a quick tour of the building. It wasn't as exciting as we thought it would be so we left an hour early and decided to go on a picnic instead. It was much more entertaining for the kids, and dad.


Playing get to know you games with class mates


On our picnic

Kenzie's friend Hannah had a birthday party on Saturday so Braxton and her decided to go, it looked like a lot of fun. I saw them playing games out side. So while they were gone for 1 1/2 hrs I decided to make Valentine cookies for our kids, Tyler's family and my family. It was a tradition that Tyler's mom used to do for her family and the past couple of years I have tried to keep the tradition alive. Plus they are so cute and yummy.


some of the picture's I got while they were outside



Since Tyler and I missed our Anniversary due to Kenzie's hospital stay last weekend we decided to go on Saturday. It was so fun we ended up eating at chili's. After we went to Nickel Cade yes a little childish but it was fun letting go and playing game's. Then we decided to go get Cold Stone Ice Cream yummy we got mint ice cream with twix and brownie pieces in it. Delicious.

It was a fun filled weekend with Tyler.

30 weeks

I have made it to 30 weeks, I had my check up yesterday and all went very well I gained 2 pds in 2 weeks so I am now up to 133 pds. So far this pregnancy I have gained 24 pds, not to bad considering that I gained 29 pounds with Braxton and 32 pounds with Kenzie by the end of my pregnancies, so it seems like I am on the right track so far.

It was a quick visit we listened to the babies heart beat it was beating at 150 bpm. She kept moving so my doctor kept having to chase her down lol. But it is always reassuring to hear her heart beat.

They also got the results for diabetes and it came back normal yeah.

I will be back at the Dr's in 2 weeks again, and I also have another ultra sound to check the cyst on her brain to see if it is gone. So we have been praying that it is gone and her brain is functioning normal.
