39 weeks

please excuse the messy hair and the pajama bottoms, the pic was taken at 10 p.m. and it is all about comfort these days. I was also having a contraction during this picture. I am seriously glad I only have one week left, I don't think I can get much bigger!

Before anyone asks...again... YES I AM STILL PREGNANT! I am pretty sure the whole world will know when we have this baby. Sorry I am just kinda getting tired of people asking even though I know it is to be expected. Thanks for the quick vent.
Anyways I went to the doctor yesterday. Not a whole lot new to report, pretty much everything is the same. I am only at 1 cm and 50% effaced. He set an induction for our actual due date if we don't have her before then. I am thinking that she won't come before then, my babies seem to be pretty comfortable in my stomach. I have been having a ton of contractions but they will go for maybe an hour or so then stop and they usually aren't painful. I did have a few yesterday though that were kinda painful. Lets hope they are making some kinda progress and not just bugging me. Anyways that is all that is going on for now. Hopefully the next post about this baby will be about her arrival.

Miss Izzie Kitty

Miss Izzie kitty seems to think that all the baby stuff is for her to lay on. Should be interesting to see what happens when this little lady gets here! For now it just creates a lot of laundry for me.

Ward Easter Egg Hunt

We went to the ward Easter Egg Hunt this morning. When we got there they had the little kids decorating little bags to put the eggs in. Mathias brought his own Easter bucket so he did not decorate a bag, which then led him to be kinda bored and very impatient. He really wanted to go "find" Easter eggs. We had to tell him over and over and over again that we can't do it until they tell us they are ready. They had the big kids find there eggs outside and the little ones get theirs in the gym. They had them start in ten minute spurts. It was kinda chaotic this year because it was the first year that they put it together. The kids could only get 10 eggs (which is how many we all brought) and one toy or treat that was lying around. Mathias quickly got his eggs and came to use as soon as he got ten. He counted and stopped all on his own, I was pretty impressed. We then went over to the tables they had set up and he quickly dumped out all his eggs to see what he got. He was pretty excited that he got a ton of chocolate, his favorite. They then handed out prizes for a bake-off and as soon as that was done we got to eat all the yummy treats. It was pretty fun to get out and Mathias had a blast!

38 Weeks

I am 38 weeks today. We had a doctor's appointment this morning as well. I have gained about a pound since last week. My blood pressure and the baby's heartbeat are still great. This was the first time the doctor checked me and I am sad to report that not much is happening. The doctor seemed surprised at how high this baby is and that he couldn't feel her head. I am not too surprised about that. I carried Mathias really high and he NEVER dropped on his own. I swear this baby carries lower than him but apparently not by much. He talked to me about inducing but that was before he checked me and now he wants to wait another week to see if she will drop a bit first. I doubt that she will though. So for now, no baby and really no sign of her coming anytime soon - apparently she is nice and comfy in there. I kinda figured it would be like this since Mathias was a day late but was seriously hoping she would come early. I guess we still have two weeks to see what happens. For now we are scheduled to go back to the doctors in another week.

For fun lets do another poll. What color of hair will she have?

snuggles

The other morning Mathias drug out all of his stuffed animals, covered them up, and then told me that he needed to go get his blanket and my pillow because his rocking horse was cold and one pillow was not big enough to snuggle on. He laid like this for a while snuggling his rocking horse and watching cartoons. I seriously love this kid!!

37 weeks

I went to the doctor's again this morning. Everything is still awesome and not much has changed so I don't really have anything new to report.
The doctor did give me his estimate on how big he thinks this little lady is going to be though, so I thought it would be fun to do a little poll and see what you think. I will put it up on the side bar. If you want to be more specific leave a comment with the exact amount you think she will weigh. I think it should be interesting to see who is the closest.

Baby stuff

This weekend we brought in a bunch of baby stuff from the garage - baby swing, bouncer, bassinet, bottles etc. The kitty was seriously going crazy checking everything out. We got everything cleaned and washed and put away, now we just need to get a few little last minute things and then this little lady can come.

update* the kitty thinks that the bassinet is her new bed and has been sleeping in there almost every night. She also sleeps on the changing table all the time too. Should be interesting to see what happens when the baby comes.

Movie night

The other night Mathias wanted to watch a movie so I told him to pick one out and he could watch it in my room. Dev went in there to watch it with him because he didn't want to watch whatever I was watching on TV. After a little while I noticed that it was really quiet and wondered if they both fell asleep. Dev had but Mathias was still just watching the movie (that doesn't happen too often). I love that Max (the puppy) is snuggling with them as well. I seriously love these boys!!

36 weeks

We are 36 weeks today. I went to the doctor's this morning. Everything is still looking good. I have not gained any weight since January, however the doc thinks this baby might be on the bigger side. He asked how big Mathias was, 7 lbs 12 oz, and said this one might just be bigger. Seriously not what I want to hear. He estimated that she weighs about 6 pounds right now and that they put on about a half a pound a week for the last month. I am seriously praying that she is not huge. I guess we will just have to wait and see. He did not check me for dilation and said that he usually doesn't until 38 weeks unless you are having a ton of contractions or if you want to be checked. I have been having contractions almost every day but nothing regular and probably nothing worth checking over. Plus Mathias was born the day after his due date and I am worried that if he checked me now I would just be disappointed, so we will wait a couple more weeks. We are now onto weekly visits. I cannot believe how close we are now. I am so ready to meet her but not sure if I am prepared for her yet.

baby shower

We had our baby shower this afternoon. It was so cute and so much fun. I have to say a huge thank you to Barbara for letting us have it her house as well as making most of the food. Also a big thanks to Kelly, Melanie, Kelsey, and Lori for helping out with the food. Seriously so delicious! It was so fun to see so many friends and family, some of which I don't get to see very often. My mom also was able to keep a secret (surprise, I know) and showed up with Mike. When I saw him walk in the door it was all I could do not to cry. I don't think I have seen him since my wedding. He lives in Virginia and had a business trip in Seattle and made it so he had a layover here for a few hours. It was so awesome to see him! Wish it could have been for longer!

Thank you everyone for coming and for all the cute things for this little lady! She is already so spoiled. We only have about a month left and I just cannot wait to meet her!



My cousin Leann and I are due with our baby girls just 2 days apart. It is just crazy to me how differently we carry. Can't wait to meet these little girls!

Family / Maternity pictures

We had my awesome friend Emily take some family/maternity pics for us. She took some maternity ones for us when we were preggo with Mathias and they turned out awesome so we just had to do it again. I am 35 weeks in these. There are a million pictures so I tried to break it up a little, however the last slide show still has like 75 pics in it. I just could not decide which ones I liked the best and they are all so different that I just had to put them all on here.

These are just of Mathias.

These are the ones we had done as a family.

These ones are mostly just me and my belly but there are also some really fun ones in there with Mathias and Dev.
