30 Weeks

10 weeks and counting!! Can it really be! Wow!! We had an appointment today and everything is looking really good. We are still having a boy and he is a very proud boy! Very proud!! I have been having mild contractions, so back on couch potatoe rest I go. It's really hard for me to sit and not do a lot. I have always been a busy bee that loves to be out and about and working on projects around the house.

It is crazy to think that he is going to be here so soon!! We so need to start narrowing down the names, he might come home as Baby Remkes, oye!

7 Months Prego

Here is the pic of the belly at 7 months, so it's a couple weeks old. I can't believe we have 10 weeks left this Thursday!!

Look how bad it pokes out in that dress!! I like this one alot better, but you can't see the bump as well.

We finally settled on a theme for the nursery, Outdoors/Hunting. Chris has started working on it also and we have bought decorations. Hopefully it will be up and going this weekend!

7 months & 1 Week

I have been behind lately, I will call it laziness!! I have a pic that we took of the belly, but seriously, I am too lazy to download it. I am bad!! I cannot believe we are just over 7 months along! Only 11 weeks to go, if we go the full 40 weeks! We haven't done a thing! I take that back, we did our baby registry that weekend. Chris is in full swing with the nursery though. We have the idea and now he is putting it all together, the theme, hunting/outdoors. What else would I get with a hunter and camper for husband? He is excited! I can't blame him, I am too.

I have been feeling pretty good. Each day is a new one with different challenges and emotions. The emotions have started back up and I find myself crying or getting really pissy. Kinda like PMS. After I have my moment, I laugh, hard! That's bad!! I have been having Braxton Hicks like crazy. They don't hurt or bother me, but when I get them I sit down with a glass of water and relax. The belly seems huge to me - but so far not one stretch mark (keep your fingers crossed). No set name yet, we have a few picked out, but we can't settle on one. So if you have any ideas, send them our way, we are open to anything!

The baby has changed his movements! It freaked me out at first, but I am good now. Beside ninja chopping me, he is constantly doing somersaults and barrel rolls. I always wondered why prego women would have those weird looks on their faces, now I know. When they roll into something or karate chop you, it doesn't feel very good - AT ALL!! But it's all worth it! A couple weeks ago a noticed a weird consistent beat the baby had, didn't really think much about it, but the realized it was the hiccups! I forgot they get those!! Now, everyday he has them, usually right before bed! So crazy!! He loves his Papa! Every time Chris touches my belly the playing begins. It's hilarious! And he LOVES the dogs, absolutely loves the dogs!! A dog sit next to me and he goes nuts!

All in all things are going good! We are counting down the weeks and the panic starts to set in a bit!! But we are excited!! I can't wait to be able to lay down and breath again! LOL!!

Hot Lava!!

The burning lava that brews in my chest and works its way slowly up my throat and BURNS!!

I think I am going to need a new esophagus! Seriously!

The tums work alright, but not very well. Any suggestions??

Flinstone Feet!

Yabba Dabba Doo!!

The Flinstone Feet have arrived!

Pics to be posted at a later date, I just can't face reality yet!

6 1/2 Month Update

I need to get a pic - the belly won't stop. It's getter bigger and bigger. I now look like Shamu, not because of the size, but because we are dark everywhere except our white bellies! Love it!

-Baby is moving like crazy. Somedays it hurts, others its not so bad. He loves to sit on a nerve on my left leg. When he does that, I walk like a grandma, bent over.
-I have gained the perfect amount of weight per the doc, 14lbs.
-No really new cravings. They change on a day to day basis. Still love my coke!
-We finally bought a humidifier, I now sleep! I wasn't sleeping at all before. I would lay down and couldn't breath, now I can! Love it!
-I have finally given in to the maternity pants. Why I waited so long, I don't know. They are much more comfortable than I thought they would be.
-Has anyone noticed how hot it is? I was good until two weeks ago, now, its HOT!
-I have to go to the bathroom all the time. yeah......
-A new skin issue - the pigment on my face has changed. I have brown and white dots on my forehead, nose and chin. Hhhmmm....didn't expect that.
-Baby loves to kick Chris when he puts his hand on my belly. Makes me laugh every time.
-I am starting to get tired again. I can go for a couple hours then I am done.
-My brain - GONE! Can't remember a damn thing.
-Like right now, don't remember what I was going to put down next. Lovely!
-Oh ya, I can't bend over. But that's ok, I now go get pedicures every couple weeks. Heaven!

This pregnancy really is going good! Now that I am not working as much I have been able to get the house caught back up and I am sleeping so much better. The baby is healthy, at our last appointment he measured a couple days ahead of schedule, he is still a boy and proud of it and he is moving like crazy. He really doesn't stop unless I am moving around.

I did have a little panic attack the other day. July is almost over, then it's August, September and October! The kid is going to be here. I have to push him out of where, oh boy, what did I get myself into!!

6 months!

I really can't believe that we are only a day away from being 6 months along! Holy cow! It seems like yesterday Chris was putting needles in my back and I wanted to rip his face off. I am so glad those days are over and gone (for now, until we have the next baby).

So at 6 months, I think this is where we start looking into birthing classes, how to change a diaper, how to teach the Daddy to get up all night long to let the Mommy sleep, am I right?? Does that take place about now?? What about registering at the hospital, is it like school? Oh heavens, a pediatrician! I need to find one don't I! Ugh, I am already a bad Mom!!

I am sending out an SOS!! Who will hold my hand and guide me thru this!
