37 weeks!



Pregnancy: 37 weeks

Weight Gain: When I was at the OB on Tuesday, I hadn't gained any weight. Let's hope that stays consistent!

Sleep: Same old. I would probably be able to sleep if I didn't have to wake up to pee every 2 hours.

Gender: Girl

Name: Hannah Elise

Feeling: Swollen and huge. After working in the yard last night, the Stay Puft marshmallow man had nothing on these cankles.

Health: I assume everything is fine. Nothing major to complain about.

Movement: She's a busy body!

Belly: Hasn't changed much in my opinion. Maybe a tiny bit bigger.

Next Appointment: Only two more left! This week it is on Thursday with a midwife.

Five Question Friday.



1. Do you know how to play a musical instrument? In middle school, we were required to either join the choir, orchestra or band. I wound up in band and I played the flute. I played for 3 years and quit when I moved onto high school. If I got the flute out today, I am not sure if I would remember how to play it.

2. What is your pet peeve while driving? I have a few, but my biggest peeve is people that wait until the very last second to merge in a construction zone. Everyone else is patiently waiting in the lane they are supposed to be in, why can't you?!

3. Would you rather have a housekeeper or unlimited spa services? Definitely unlimited spa services. Keeping up with the house is not too bad around here, but that is because I have a husband who doesn't mind helping me keep it that way. Unlimited spa services sounds wonderful!

4. Is there a song that you hear that will take you back to the moment, like a junior high or high school dance?
I never really went to the dances and special events in high school or junior high. But there was a video made when our class was making the transition from middle to high school, and they used the song 'Good Riddance (The Time of Your Life)' by Green Day and to this day I still remember that video.

5. What song best represents your life right now?
Is there one about being exhausted from watching/cleaning up after a 20 month old while 9 months pregnant? If so, that is the one! ;)

Father's Day Weekend.

Saturday morning started out as a lazy one. Everyone was still tired, so we lounged around the house and stayed in our pajamas until lunch time. But I am getting ahead of myself here, so let's back track a little.

Friday afternoon, Cameron and I met up with Josh's mom and grandma at a neighborhood garage sale. It was blistering hot, the temperature was only 88 but weather.com said it felt like 95. I believe it. Anyway, she had been finding some bargains and we headed over to see what she had found. She bought a changing table for Hannah's room, and only paid $7 for it. This was a nice neighborhood too, so everything looked like it was in great condition. It is stained a light wood color, so we (not sure who yet!) are going to paint it white and throw it up in her room. After that goes in, I think her room will be done, besides a couple of little things Josh still has to hang up on the walls. =)

MIL also found a really cute bouncy seat for Hannah. Yes, we already had one from when Cameron was a baby, but this is one of those papasan ones that makes me wish I were a baby again. So here is how Cameron spent his Saturday morning:



Of course, the urge to start nesting has started to kick in, so I went in the basement and brought up the infant seat we used with Cameron and will use again with Hannah. I set it on the floor in the living room, set off to find a way to remove the sticker some idiot at Chuck-E-Cheese had put on it, and came back to this:


I love that boy. He helped me clean the seat while the cover was in the washer and was eager to play with it again once it was all put back together. He is so helpful!

Sunday morning was spent giving Josh his cards (he already got his gifts - I am terrible at surprises) and going out for donuts. We drove to Grand Rapids to have lunch at Chipotle (Josh's favorite) and to walk around at the mall up there. I would say he had a pretty great father's day weekend. =)

Here's a picture of the gifts Cameron made for him. Have a great day!

36 weeks!



Pregnancy: 36 weeks

Weight Gain: I assume it's lingering somewhere around the 25 pound mark still. I hope.

Sleep: My body has adopted a new internal alarm clock, and it goes off at 6:15 every morning. Needless to say, sleepless nights will not be an issue for me.

Gender: Girl

Name: Hannah Elise

Feeling: Exhausted, swollen, ready.

Health: I think I had a bit of a stomach bug this week, but after a clear liquid diet for a day, I am all better!

Movement: She is still moving like a crazy person. She will probably be kicking her legs until they pull her out!

Belly: Looking at the last 3 weeks worth of pictures, I think she has dropped.

Next Appointment: Tuesday afternoon.

(a little less than) 4 weeks away!

I am not going to lie. This week has been really rough. I haven't felt well at all, between the nausea and stomach cramping, and the terrible back aches. I am so ready for July 15th to FINALLY roll around. I still think my OB's office has my dates completely wrong and that I really am farther along than they think. I guess time will tell, won't it?

I am having the hardest time convincing myself to wait to do everything that is Hannah related. The planner in me wants to put her car seat in the car, bring up Cameron's old swing and bouncy seat, and pack our hospital bag. Josh, on the other hand, is perfectly content with waiting until the very last minute to do all of those things. Yes, I have to agree that packing the hospital bag right now does not make too much sense. I don't have a lot of clothes that fit me right now, so I need everything I can get. Not to mention, I don't buy little travel bottles of shampoo and that, I take what I have in the shower at home. Maybe it would start to feel a little more real if I at least brought the suitcase up and put it in our bedroom...

35 weeks!


Pregnancy: 35 weeks

Weight Gain: I accidentally looked at my appointment this morning. I am up 25 pounds (not too bad considering almost 5 of it is baby!).

Sleep: I am still getting up every couple of hours to use the bathroom, but it's all good. I am getting used to it.

Gender: Girl

Name: Hannah Elise

Feeling: Ready to hold my little girl!

Health: Everything is good!

Movement: I had to be hooked up to a monitor this morning because I didn't feel her much over the weekend. I must be crazy because she moves a lot!

Belly: Looks the same this week as it did last week, maybe just a little bigger.

Next Appointment: Next Tuesday. Every week now!
