week 27

@ 27 weeks

drank the sugar drink to test for gestational diabetes. the drink really was NOT bad, why was i so nervous. i really thought it was going to be the worst thing to ever go in my mouth. honestly, it actually tasted fine. really sugary. i would never order that to drink, but not bad. now hopefully i won't have g.d.

@ the dr. i found out i gained another 6 lbs. maybe the eggos before bed every night should stop. :)
i measured 29 instead of 28. maybe that has something to do with gaining 6 lbs. in 4 weeks.

and what is most exciting about these 6 lbs is i now weigh as much as jordan. great!

still unsure about the natural thing.

i seriously CANNOT sleep. and i NEED some sleep. its not even that i feel like my belly is in the way. (other than i prefer to sleep on my belly)  i feel like my neck is going to break. a little dramatic i know but haven't we all learned that i am dramatic about everything. but really my neck can't seem to get comfy. oh and then there are those darn charley horses. do you think they could come sometime other then when i am trying to sleep.

i have mood swings.

i am still grumpy.

i have no patience.

i still love feeling baby boy move. the other night jordan felt him move like crazy. probably a highlight of the week.

we had a bbq for memorial day at our house with family and it was fun getting together! we ate ALL of the food. like scavengers.

i love seeing baby remmi. she makes me even more excited to meet our little man.

i haven't gotten any stretch marks... yet. which is great.

can it be august? :)

this week the name is jamisen... not a done deal. so don't call him that!!

although sometimes i do complain, i am very grateful to be pregnant. its a very constant reminder when i hear about friends/ family so often, still trying.

love this baby boy so much!

25 & 26

25 & 26

well.. behind as usual. i hate to say it but these last 2 weeks have flown by! sometimes when i think that it has already been a week and i need to blog again, it seems like i just did. at the same time i am still just 27 weeks pregnant (tomorrow) and i just want to be closer to 40.

@ 25 weeks

photo of me and my growing belly.

markus and mern came to town. markus has to leave soon but mern will be here the rest of the summer. its been fun being all together again.

i have been having super bad pains in my back and lower abdomen and it hasn't been fun.

i didn't vomit once!!

jordan started playing softball with friends, and i love going ever tuesday. he looks extra hot on the field!

mother's day happened! it was great, jordan even got me a present! 2 plants to go in my garden and a shepards hook. we spent the night at ammie's for dinner, j's parent's house for a quick visit followed by a movie with my family. we saw the lucky one, and i hated it. sorry. i felt like there was no point. i could have told you what happened in the movie by just watching the previews.

we went bowling, i fell. really nice.

my dogs drive me bonkers sometimes. but then i wake up to this. and i love them all over again. this is knox, our only giant dog we will ever own, and he loves to cuddle jordan every morning.

@ 26 weeks.

no barfing again!!

pain has gone away slightly which is always nice.

i CANNOT sleep. help me.

i get the worst charley horses in my calfs at night. wow.

miss remmi made her grand appearance. love her already. she makes me want this baby boy here even more.

the sports mall pool opened so matthew and i went. he loved it. so did i. the rain can just go back where it came from today.

my sil alex had a bday.

the babe moved more and more this week. he is finding places to kick that don't feel so great.

this week he weighs 2.2 lbs.

i have major anxiety.

we set up the crib. pics to come when room is complete.

our dryer broke. so we bought a new washer and dryer, LOVE!

and we bought a chair for the babies room, LOVE as well!

while sitting in all 200 chairs at rc willey jordan came across this beauty! yes, it stands you up. most likely this was one of the only chairs "made in america".

i am very ready for may to be over, it has not impressed!

until next time. heres to being 27 weeks tomorrow! 

(don't mind that these pictures are super grainy.)

24

@ 24 weeks.

i am so tired. i can't sleep. i think about the craziest things all night, i can't get comfy and when i finally go to sleep, 5 minutes later i have to pee.

matthew (the babe i nanny) now knows where the baby is and gives him kisses. cutest ever.

went to st. george for girls weekend, got no sleep and a sun burn. my skin no longer tans like it used to. why? it better go back to normal after this boy is born.

told jordan i wanted to name the baby luis, (like i had a dream that he was luis and i really love it)  he HATES it... and i am so sad. beckitt is probably #1 right now with jordan.

feeling/seeing the baby move is amazing. i wish he moved all day, when he stops it makes me feel panicky.

went to the dr. this week. and gained 4 lbs since last appointment. i feel much better about 4 compared to 7.

i have been trying to imagine what he is going to look like a lot lately, secretly i hope he looks just like his daddy and not at all like his mama.  tall, dark and handsome, sounds good to me!

somedays i feel like august might never come and other days i feel like i have so much to do and the baby is going to be here any second.

i am so grumpy. pretty much with everyone. sorry. at least i admit it.

i am dying for amy to have baby jovie so i can just hold a baby. maybe it will help!?

and i want the crib i ordered like 2 weeks ago to be on my door step today.

i am super anxious about this thing called labor lately and the fact that they have to push on my belly to get the remaining blood and gunk out for 24 hours after words. AHHHH!

i am debating whether or not to get an epidural. it has nothing to do with me thinking the medicine used to numb my bottom half is bad for the baby. i just want to see what it feels like. i hear its like your body is on fire! not that, that sounds in any way appealing. i just want to do it, and say that i did. (kinda like why i ran a marathon.) however, what if it hurts so bad i just give up and tell them that they are going to have to cut the baby out?! dramatic. and even if i go natural, i will NOT be taking any kind of natural birthing classes. i find it hard to imagine "finding my focal point" will help me. also, music really does nothing for me so i probably wont find a song that calms me. i will probably just be yelling the whole time. on the other hand it might be nice to enjoy giving birth to my first born and help jordan enjoy the experience a little more by just getting the huge needle jammed in my back. dilate to a 10 and feel "pressure" down there. any advice?

i still take no pictures. i look big and giant in the ones i attempt and have no desire to share those on here. i would then have to look at them and feel embarrassed that i may or may not eat anything and everything times 5.

we found the car seat/stroller combo last night and i am in love.

the room on the other hand has come to a halt. i painted the walls and baseboards like 2 or 3 weeks ago and all that is remaining is the window and closet trim but i can't bring myself to do it.

best news of the week..... i planted my flower gardens yesterday. i seriously love how they turned out. pictures to come! ha... hard to believe i know, i think i have been promising pictures for 6 weeks now of my belly, the bathroom remodel and the babies room. it will all come.

here is to being 25 weeks today. only 15 to go!

23

@23 weeks.

i kinda feel like 22 and 23 were all mushed together, like nothing happened or like the week was just full of usual errands and such. and 24 is just about over,  so instead of doing my usual @ _ weeks, i saw someone doing a likes and dis- likes of pregnancy so i am going to copy her.
likes

feeling/seeing this babe move. it brings a smile to my face every time i get a little nudge, i just wish that jordan could feel more often. it still seems like when someone's hand goes on my tummy, the baby stops moving.

having a belly, its kinda nice not having to "suck in" all the time!

seems like my hair is getting thicker... i know it will all fall out but it is nice while it lasts.

eating whatever.

imagining what a great dad jordan is going to be! can't wait!


dis- likes

being so tired ALL the time.

gaining so much weight.

not being able to run/ work out hard. really lets be honest i am sure i could work out harder then i am because i don't work out at all. but i have a hard time feeling like working out... the lbs are going to come no matter what.

feeling sick.

everyone touching my belly. is this just me? i feel like you should at least ask.

and i feel like 40 weeks is such a long time. can it just be august already?


all in all, i can't freaking wait to see this little boy. i am starting to feel a little anxious about the whole labor thing.

i will be 25 weeks thursday!
