Happy 25th to me!!!

We recently celebrated my 25th birthday on the 31st and for once I wasn't planning it months in advance! This year I really wanted to celebrate with just Jonathan. It's our last "holiday" as a family of 2! Normally I will have a couple of birthday dinners, something fun and go out drinking. But this year it wasn't until a week before that we were like hey, what are we gonna do next week?! 

I woke up late and Jonathan made me red velvet pancakes then we went to a movie! We hadn't been to one in who knows how long and figured it would be a good while until we could go again. After the movie we did some shopping and decorated our house for fall and jad some red velvet cake!That evening was the first UT game which I would never let my hubby miss so we ordered a pizza and watched the game! On Sunday we went to my birthday lunch at hibachi my favorite! Here are some pictures of our last special occasion as a family of 2!

My work birthday cake!! Love them!!!

Swollen little piggies!

Just for fun here are some swollen feet pictures from the last few weeks!

Cracks me up every time I see these! This little guy is so worth it tho! 

34 weeks!!

Only 6 weeks to go! Soooo much has happened since my last post! Nursery is almost ready, I had both my baby showers, his bedding came in!! Can't wait to post pictures. Baby is starting to drop and I can absolutely feel it! So much pressure, I am way bigger, I can breathe a little better BUT I have to potty sooooo much more often! It is so worth it tho, it just means we are that much closer to meeting our little man! I also no longer have an innie, outie, OR flat belly button! its kind of hanging out between an outie and still flat. Although when the baby stretches out it turns into a full out outie! So weird!  As far as symptoms go I have started swelling a lot more but it luckily doesn't always hurt. I also think I swell a little in the face too ( orrrrrr that could be weight gain... Up about 10 lbs now!) I have also started getting heartburn when I eat greasy foods. I get tired faster, but wake up early now! So not like me! The latest I sleep these days is about 10 or so ( at least  I am getting semi prepared) 

I am not craving anything anymore I think that was more of a first trimester thing. I have been still eating a lot of sweets and cereal. I will eat it for a snack or for a meal. I learned I'm starting to get the pregnant girl waddle... Super sexy....

I am finally starting to get a little nervous with the whole labor/ delivery process! At this point it really can happen at any time!  I am very glad I decided to keep working through the end, I think it will make the time pass quicker and keep my mind off of being nervous! I'm just hoping my water won't break at work! Although all the walking I do will certainly help speed things along! I am so so so excited for tr next 6 weeks to come and go so we can meet our sweet little man and actually start calling him by his name!! =) 

Here is a picture of me at 34 weeks!

Maternity Pictures!

I took my maternity pictures on August 10th in San Antonio and couldn't be happier with the way they turned out! I was about 29 1/2 weeks at the time and am AMAZED on how little I look compared to now! haha!

Sleep: Not going too well =( I wake up multiple times a night to go potty and have all kinds of aches and pains that wake me up in the middle of the night.

Best moment this week: Maternity pictures, and his wall art coming in!!

Miss Anything? SODA!
Movement: and lots of it! I swear he flipped over about 3 times in a row earlier today. MAJOR alien action going on.

Belly Button in or out? Flat as a Frisbee!
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!
Looking forward to: My first shower this weekend!

 

So my symptoms are getting more frequent! Swollen body parts, achy body parts, back pain,  sleepiness...but not the like first trimester where I was just tired; its more like my WHOLE body is tired and I don't want to move. He is taking up SO much room in my belly it is hard to breath! I find myself out of breath after just walking across the room. I also am drinking water by the gallon these days its like nothing has ever tasted so good! He found a new nerve to sit/lay/kick on which hurts SO bad! Mostly when I sneeze and couch its like a knife stabbing me on the top of the belly. 

On a positive note we had our 3d sonogram!! I talked about how awesome it was in the last post. Seriously favorite moment so far! We also ordered his bedding which was SO fun. Part of ordering his bedding means we finalized his name =) We decided to put a monogram of his initials on the bumper so we had to make a decision! We could not be happier with his handsome name =) My mom ordered some of his wall art that we are having framed and it came in! I haven't seen it yet, it will be a surprise at my FIRST SHOWER! next weekend. I also got some letters and frames for the wall that I need to decorate but am waiting on the bedding so I can match it. We finished our registry which ended up being not so bad! Once all the hard stuff was picked out it turned fun.  

We cant wait to meet you little man! Only 10 weeks to go!

3d sonogram

So just wanted to do a short post because I am so excited =) we got to see  our handsome boys little face this weekend! I know I am only 28 weeks but I am so so so ready for him to get here! We did our 3d sonogram at "a miracle to behold" and it was the best experience! They could not have been sweeter. It was about 30 minutes and we got a DVD of the whole sonogram! I'm so upset my dad couldn't make it but we at least have the DVD to show him. My mom, Jonathan's mom, and my sister came in town for the weekend as well. I knew I loved him already but actually seeing his face was amazing! I love him so much more =) he has Jonathan's nose and my lips and  is so handsome! The coolest part of the sono was when I talked to him  he would open his eyes really wide and smile =) 

Here is one picture for now!
