(28 weeks)

We are officially into the 3rd trimester!!!

This is my last week of work and our last full week in Minnesota before the big move.

Hailey had her last dance practice before the recital this weekend. I plan on doing a re-cap on that soon.

(29 weeks)

The only picture I got of the belly this week was a family picture that we used a timer for. It was before Wayne left to go back to Vegas and it was a couple days before we left on our road trip.

This week was quite the adventure with us road tripping for 3 days and MOVING to Las Vegas. I will be doing a full re-cap of that on the blog hopefully soon!

UPDATE:

Maternity Clothes: Yes.

Sleep: Some nights are better than others, but overall I'm sleeping well.

Best Moment of the Week: My Hubby coming home and surprising me a couple days early from Vegas to help with last minute packing of the house, etc. I missed him so much just after 3 weeks.

Also, spending last minute time with friends and family before heading out.

Movement: Yes! Everyday.

Food Craving: Nothing specific.

Food Aversions: Sometimes I smell things that don't agree with me, but not too often.

Morning Sickness: None. I still feel pretty good. We'll see what the rest of the 3rd trimester has to offer.

Gender: We found out on 3/9 that we are having a BOY!

Symptoms: Nothing too outrageous. Mostly just uncomfortable.

What I miss: Being able to bend over. Not being out of breath after walking. Just being comfortable in general.

What I'm looking forward to: Getting through the road trip to Vegas being in my 3rd trimester. Seeing our rental house in person for the first time. Our belongings arriving at the new house, unpacking and getting settled in.

Wayne left for Vegas this week to start his new job. He will be in Vegas for the next 3 weeks. I will be here in Minnesota, finishing work, packing and purging the house, taking care of Hailey as a single parent and growing a baby.

We had a play date with my BFF Kayla and her son, Dylan. Hailey and Dylan are 1 month apart.

We also had dance pictures this week.

July 2015 Goals

Thursday, July 2, 2015

Read post

I missed all of 2nd quarter. My main goals for April, May and June were packing up our house and life, finishing working, growing a baby and being a Mom, moving across the country/relocating to Las Vegas and getting settled.

Here are my Goals for July 2015!

Have a baby.

It's not as much a goal, because I don't have a choice. He's coming whether I am ready or not. I just want him to be healthy. Hopefully my recovery will go better this time around and I will be feeling better sooner.

Pregnancy Posts

I have most of them drafted, just adding final touches and hoping to get caught up soon.

Hailey.

I've been trying to enjoy as much time with just Hailey as I can as these last few weeks of her being an only child.

Family.

My family is coming to visit us this month. My sisters are here now and I couldn't be more happy to have them. My parents come mid month and I can't wait to see them after 2 months.

Cooking.

Continue experimenting with recipes. Since living in Vegas and staying home I've tried a few recipes that have been a hit with the family.

What are your goals for this month?

What I Watched Wednesday

Wednesday, July 1, 2015

Read post

So after about a year of a Netflix hiatus, we decided to start it up again. We just weren't using it as often as we would have liked, even though it's only $8 a month. Here are a couple of movies I've watched lately while waiting for this baby to come.

Chalet Girl: Chuck Bass is in this movie...need I say more? And Sophia Bush. I love them both.

Cake. This movie is good and so is Jennifer Aniston, but it is pretty depressing. It was nice to see Jennifer in a more serious role and not a funny romcom.

The Single Moms Club. I like many of Tyler Perry's movies, so I figured I would like this one, too. It wasn't anything super unique, but more of an entertaining and easy watch.

Happy Hump Day y'all.

Me and Bella taking a snooze.

Went out for Green Grandma's 75th birthday to the Smack Shack.

We also had a another Swarm game, went out to dinner for Amie's 18th birthday and celebrated Easter!!!

St. Patrick's Day this week. Hailey got strep. So not fun.

I got Hailey this book this week. She loved it.

I also bought baby boy his first onesie. I haven't bought really anything for him yet. We have a lot of the big stuff still, it's mostly going to be clothes that he needs. I think I'm still in a bit of denial that we are having a boy, too.

We went to Amie's speech presentation this week at the high school.

Hailey's 4!

Friday, June 26, 2015

Read post

To my smarter than you should be, sassier than you should be, beautiful baby girl on your 4th birthday...I love you! You are so special and loved by so many. I know you are going to be the best big sister when your brother arrives. I can't wait to see you in action and be my little "assistant" as we often talk about. I've tried to really soak up these last few weeks with you as our only child and me not working, as I know it's limited. It does make me sad that you are growing up and there have been a few tears shed. I'm not gonna lie about that, but you are growing up wonderfully and I am so excited to see where your future leads you. You are bold, proud, friendly, outgoing, sensitive and all around a sweet and polite little human being.

HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY HAILEY!

Mommy and Daddy love you!

We are officially at the half way point and I didn't even take any pictures this week to document it.

Shame on me!

I had dinner with some friends this week and we attended our ex neighbor's daughter's Bah Mitzvah celebration.

I had so much fun eating and Hailey had a blast dancing! The theme was "Under the Sea." Hence the blue dresses.

Hailey had picture day at school this week, which entailed me trying to find a suitable outfit. We had a swarm game and then a WWE wrestling event.

Sleep: I am still sleeping good thanks to my body pillow.

Best Moment of the Week: Wayne being able to feel the baby now through my stomach.

Movement: Yes! Everyday.

{ONE}

This is my fave purchase this week.

{TWO}

This is my fave quote from this week. The D Fam has a lot going on lately and as soon as I read this, it just clicked.

{THREE}

This is one of my absolute fave shows lately. It just had it's season 1 finale this past Wednesday. If you haven't checked it out lately. GO NOW!!

{FOUR}

This is my fave picture of the week. Shout-out to the Hubs for letting me take his seat and getting this picture. I heart John Cena.

{FIVE}

Something I'm thankful for this week is for modern medicine. I had to take Hailey into urgent care last night and she tested positive for strep throat. She was so not herself and I just hate seeing her so sick and NOT herself. 1 dose of medicine and 12 hours of sleep later and she was feeling so much better!!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

This is me and Mini D this week. I started feeling the baby move this week. It's just as I remember it.

Monday, February 23, 2015
(19 weeks)

UPDATE:

Maternity Clothes: Yes. I still have a few shirts I can fit into, but it's mostly exclusively maternity clothes. I have bought a few new shirts from Target. I seriously love their stuff!

Sleep: I am sleeping good thanks to my pillow. I cannot lay flat anymore. I feel like I can't breath. I need to be elevated.

Best Moment of the Week: Really feeling the baby move.

Movement: Yes!

Food Craving: Nothing too extreme. One day I woke up and had wanted tater tot hotdish for dinner and then as the day went on I wanted french toast. So I stopped at the store and got everything for French Toast and had that for dinner. It's hard to plan for dinner. It's usually a last minute thing depending on what I'm craving at the time.

Food Aversions: Sometimes I smell things that don't agree with me, but not too much.

Morning Sickness: I did throw up one morning last week, but I don't think it was just the baby. We had the stomach flu in our house the week before and earlier in the week, so I think it just hit me at the right time.

Gender: Unknown, but we will hopefully be finding out at our 3/9 appointment!

Symptoms: I have had heartburn a couple times, which I took tums for. Other than the normal tiredness and being achy, I am feeling pretty good.

What I miss: Not being so uncomfortable while bending over. Tying my winter boots or tennis shoes. Not being out of breath after walking. Just small things.

What I'm looking forward to: Our BIG Dr appointment on 3/9!
