35 weeks

I made it to 35 weeks. It isn't 36 weeks yet but I really do feel like I have made it really far. I went to the doctor yesterday. They did the strep B test and then checked my cervix. It was closed but the doctor said that the baby's head is down and everything else looks good. I have now gained 29 pounds and my uterus measures 36 in from top to bottom. He says that everything else looks good. I am now on weekly appointments and they are going to check me every week. The thing that I'm worried about is hemorrhoids. I have gotten them easily from the time of high school and I know that during birth I will get them. I ask for prayer that I wont get them as bad and they would heal quickly. I only have 3 and a half more days of work. I am so thankful cause I have so much to do around the house to clean and get ready for my little one. It has been really fun to go through this journey and now it is almost over and I'm about to start a new one with a child. I am worried about being a good mom but I know that this has been my calling to have children, so I know that my heavenly father will be with me every step of the way. I know I'm going to mess up big, lots of times, but He will be here to lift me back up to try again. I'm so thankful for Ben cause he is going to help me lots and we both are ready to start this new journey of our lives. Well that is about it. I would like to put up a picture but I will have to upload it later. Thank you for all of your prayer and I would love for you all to continue to pray.

Rain

Oh my Lord! I am sitting here at work watching the rain fall down. I don't think I have seen it rain so hard in forever. I love the rain but this is crazy!

34 week belly picture

34 weeks

These pictures are from last week. I was 33 weeks in these pictures. I am a little late but I am going to talk about my doctors appointment last Thursday. I measured 34 in and I still have room so I know that I'm only going to get bigger. The heart beat was 145 which is good. I am up 26 pounds pre pregnancy. I get heartburn with everything I eat even when I don't eat. My appetite has slowed way down and have not had a want to eat a lot. I have one more two week appointment a week from today. the doctor said that he was going to do the strep b test and check my cervix. That is exciting cause I know that I am getting closer. I only have 2 weeks till I am full term and can have him. It is so exciting to know that he will be here soon. It is getting harder and harder to sleep every night. There are few that I am able to get a full nights sleep. I am exhausted everyday. I think that it may be harder because I have 16 three year olds every morning. I then sit at a desk all afternoon and do nothing. It is hard to get anything accomplished when I go home cause all I want to do is lay down and put my feet up. I only have 8 more days until I am staying home full time. I know that I will be able to get a lot more done. Ben and I have already tried to install the car seat but had to take it out again to bring stuff home from the baby shower. It fits good and is going to look great! I am not able to do anything this next week. I have a lot to do in July. I will be busy!

The room

The room is coming along. I have all the big furniture that I need. I just need the bedding, changing pad, and a few little things. We painted the walls brown and green and I really like how it turned out. I will put pictures up when it gets closer to being done. I'm hoping that I will receive most of what I need at the baby shower. I'm so excited. It is a week from tomorrow. The crib and changing table match. I love my changing table cause it has so much storage space and it is the perfect size. Life has been crazy recently but I'm so glad that the room is coming together. I will have more time in July to really get down to business and get everything situated. I want to organize and get storage for the non-existent space that we have. The final touch will be him here so he can enjoy all the hard work that his daddy and I have done to welcome him to our family.

32 weeks

So I guess I was wrong about my belly. I see it all the time so I didn't notice a difference. My sister said that he dropped so I am lower and also bigger. I'll post a picture next thursday. I also have a doctors appointment next thursday so I'll fill you in about what the doctor says. I can't believe that I am 32 weeks already. Time has passed and I hope that it passes quickly the whole time. I hope that he is early!

31 weeks almost 32

It has been a great 31 weeks. I really have nothing to complain about. I have had some back pain and heartburn but so far my pregnancy has gone so smooth and wonderful. Ben has been so great and has helped me though the whole process. Its really funny cause Ben has figured out how to scare baby b. So every time Ben makes a certain noise than baby b jumps and moves all crazy especially if baby b is sleeping. I love the times that Ben talks to the baby and loves on him. I know Ben is so excited to meet baby b and be a daddy. He is going to be such a great daddy. I have been getting a little worried about labor and delivery. I know that the reward is so great, but I have been scared a little of the pain. I am trusting god and know that he is in control. My plan is to put up a picture at 33 weeks. I haven't gotten much bigger but just firmer. Pray as we get ready for the baby. We are doing a lot of stuff to our house before he gets here and it is quite stressful!
