34 1/2 weeks

Tired, tired, tired. Did I mention how tired I am? I feel like I haven’t slept in a week but I actually slept in all weekend, took naps and everything! Well I am 34 1/2 weeks and I only have 5 1/2 left. When you actually put it into words its kinda freaky to actually think that in less than 6 weeks time I will have a little miniature person to take care of... Oh lord!!!


Ok freaking out done, I am over it. So I have decided that my sweet Fi has a punching bag in there with her, she kicks and punches all the time. I know it isn’t actually punches or kicks but just her moving around since she is getting so much bigger I feel all the little movements now, but sometimes I swear it feels like she is punching!!!

As promised here are a few of the photos from my baby shower that my sister and aunt gave me. They did such a wonderful job on it. I’m not sure if there was an actual theme but as I am going with pink and purple butterflies for Fi’s bedding and everything, they decorated everything in pink and purple with butterflies added in. I loved it!!!
My sister took all the photos. If you want to see all the pictures I’ve included the link to my photo album at the bottom of this post.

33 weeks - she is the size of a honeydew melon!!!

Today we had our final ultrasound. Here are some pictures. Fiona was definitely on the move and you can tell, some of the images are kinda blurry since she was moving a bit.

The technician was able to calculate her weight, she weighs about 4 lbs 3 oz right now. This weight can vary by a pound either way since it is estimated by her measurements. If she gains the average 1/2 a pound a week then she should weigh about 7 pounds when she is born.

She has been letting me get sleep at night lately (Thank you!) but boy oh boy is she really active during the day and some evenings. I just hope that this behavior of sleeping through the night continues on past birth! Our babyshower was this past Sunday, my family did such a wonderful job at it, as soon as I have pictures I will upload them.

32 weeks = 8 weeks to go. Oh My Gosh am I actually 8 months pregnant?

I have been reading about the growth of the baby in the womb and I don’t know why it struck me as really gross but it did. Did you know that the baby is now able sweat? Yuck! I mean its not like its not a normal thing for people to able to do but still ewwww.

I am no-longer squishy! I walked into a wall yesterday (seriously you know me, this is not unusual at all) anyway, walked into a wall and instead of just squishing up against the wall like you would normally do, I kinda, not sure if the word bounced back is right but it’s the only way I can describe it. I have this hard ball sticking out in front of me now and it is taking some getting use to. Now don’t worry, I didn’t hit the wall hard at all, and Fiona let me know right away that she didn’t appreciate me walking into the wall by kicking me really hard a couple of times.

Today was kinda neat, as you know I have been feeling her move for awhile now, well this afternoon at work I was just sitting at my desk and Fi started to stretch I could feel movement up at the top of my stomach and I would feel a different kinda movement down by my belly button. It was really weird.

Well before I go here is my 32 week belly picture. Cheers!!!!!

Week 29 and Man am I tired!

Before I forget (which seems to be happening alot lately) here is my picture of my belly at 29 weeks.

I now know what some of my friends were talking about on not having any energy. I am so tired, and it really doesn’t help that I have to get up about 4-5 times at night to use the bathroom. (ok sorry enough of the complaining from me)

On to more fun things. I think Fi is going to be a ballerina, mike is hoping for martial artist. She has just been so active lately it is really amazing. Oh and the hiccups are so cute! Mike actually was able to feel them at one point. Just in the last few days you can actually see some of the activity. I was resting on the couch yesterday and had my shirt up where you could see my belly and everyone once in a while you would see this bump come up and kinda roll across my belly. Mike and I both thought it was so weird, weird but very neat at the same time.

28 Weeks and Counting!!!

I am now at 28 weeks and only 12 weeks (hopefully!) to go. Both me and Fi get the hiccups now! It was just me getting them everyday and sometimes several times a day, but on Thursday I felt Fi having them too. It was so cute! I felt this little bump (almost like a little flick on the inside of my tummy) and them a few seconds later another then another. It went on for about 3-5 minutes. I of course had to text my mom and sister who both thought it was cute, mom of course said she really hoped Fi doesn't get them as often as I did and still do. Oh me too, me too.

I have to add this, my friend Chase made Fi the cutest tutu and onsies here are a few of the pictures of them.


This is going to have to be one of the first pictures my sister takes of Fi!
Thanks Chase! I can't wait to get Fi into these!!!!

26 weeks

Well here I am at 26 weeks, I am almost at 7 months! I really can't believe it, time seems like it's flying by. Ashley (my sister) has been telling me I need to do belly pictures, so here I am or more importantly here is how big my belly is at 26 weeks.

My sweet fi has been bumping the crap out of me lately. The other night was the first time she actually kept me awake from moving and kicking me. Then there are the bumps when it feels like she stands up and stretches and lays back down. I think those are the weirdest. I kinda freaked mike out the other night, she was curled up and you could feel the hard outline of her back (I think) and I made him feel her, he thought it was so weird, cool but kinda freaky at the same time. Today though was the first time you could actually see my belly kinda go up and down when she moved around. Not sure if it was the position I was laying in or what but it was really neat, even mike thought so.

25 weeks and counting

Well here it is the first of April (well ok so it is actually the 5th) and I am feeling Fiona move and nudge me a lot more, pretty much daily at this point. I have figured out that she may be a night owl like her daddy. This morning I was trying to go back to sleep after having a really bad dream about crickets, and it felt like she did this big long stretch that didn't ease up immediately. It was definitly weird, but boy you really learn to love all these nudges and movements, now that may change as she gets bigger and starts stretching more but we'll just have to wait and see.

We have only one more doctor appointment before we start seeing him every two weeks, then that last month I will be seeing him every week. Sheesh, that is a lot of doctor appointments!

It really hit me the other day I am actually 6 1/2 months along. It really doesn't seem that I should be that far into the pregnancy.

Oh and before I go I thought I would tell you she loves strawberries, or maybe it is just me that loves loves loves strawberries right now.
