30 and 32 weeks!!!!

Wow I cant believe i only have 8 weeks left!! A lot of changes getting a little harder to sleep. I have been having hip pain on both sides. Also she is still transverse.

I had my baby shower and it was a little stressful because we sent out invites 5 weeks ago asking people to call if they couldnt come because we had a caterer. So we had around 45 people show so not to bad. Spent a little extra money on people not letting us know they were coming. Oh well all in all it was a lot of fun!

Rob and I are nesting for sure! We washed all the clothes and opened all the stuff took some stuff back and have some odds and ends to get before the big day!! We have her name and some other things for the walls in her nursery but we have most of the nursery finished! So excited for the big day!!

I have no stretch marks, hemorrhoids, not constipated, and im not waddling!!! WOOHOOO!!!

28 weeks!

Well its my 12 week countdown! Had my 28 week appt and heard some news about what Bryn has been doing... She is laying sideways in my belly head on the right and butt on the left! So that puts me at risk of having a c section if she doesnt move in weeks to come. Also Dr told me that i have a hernia... i have had some problem finishing meals and not feeling well after i finish a complete meal. But i will be fine i just have to keep my calorie intake going and as long as im gaining weight i will be fine. Back to c section business im kinda disappointed because i was so hoping to have a natural birth. I still can if she moves back into the right position, i will just have to talk to her and let her know where she should be when time comes. Rob and i are also taking child birthing classes and they are so helpful and we are very excited to learn as much as we can!

26 Weeks!

Well it has been 26 weeks! Its been a breeze so far... I had my sugar test yesterday and the nurse rolled over my vein like 5 times. So i have a huge bruise but other than that everything checked out alright... besides my iron. So I have to add a iron pill to my daily prenatal and omega 3... Anything for my little Bryn!
But today i noticed i was a little emotional than normal! It was really weird. I guess that comes with pregnancy. It lasted for about three hours feeling very overwhelmed at work. But i over came it and settled down and went on with my day... It also seems like im getting bigger every second i gained 7 pounds last month and still putting on the weight... total weight gain 15lbs and counting!

It is almost xmas, and rob and I are having it hard towards the end of this year. With him being laid off and the holiday approaching it just seems like we are fighting for every penny! We have done extremely well so far because we have tremendous love for one another and we help each other get through this tough time. I still cant wait to be with family and celebrate my favorite holiday!

Nursery Before and After!

This is the lovely work of my husband! He did such a great job there is still alot of touch ups but I believe Bryn will love her room!

Black Friday Shopping!

Wow! It was 2:30 in the morning on my way to Target to meet my mom and drove past Old Navy and the line was literally wrapped around the building! I never thought it was going to be like this... Then again im meeting my mom at Target at 230! I get to Target and the line has about 100 people in it and keeps getting longer and Best Buys line is getting very long! The people that we see are so funny people had cots, fire, and country tunes going! I couldnt believe that people were so dedicated to black friday. So my mom and set up our chairs and got cozy with our blankets and sit... sit... and sit.

My mom and I started to talk about what people are really here for and came to the conclusion that the flat screens were it! Then my mom looked at me and she had to go pee! Then she started to say does cooper (my nephew) really want this keyboard that we were in line for! I looked at her and said u make the decision if u want to stay or not... mind u it is 330 at this time! Then she said lets go! I just started to laugh!!! So we went to IHOP and got some coffee (me decaf) and the worst oatmeal in the world! Got up from the table and went to wait in Babies R Us line... Only a few people at this time were in line it was around 415. At Babies R Us, i really wanted my glider and my high chair that were close to half off!! So we are waiting and the line behind us gets really long! Good thing that we got there when we did! So i gave my mom a game plan for her to get the cart and the high chair and i will go for the chair! So the store opens and several women some men go right for the glider i got there first and put my hands on the color i wanted! OMG the gliders were gone in seconds... My mom finds me and her cart is full with diapers that were 5 bucks, clothes, and the high chair! I had the best adrenaline rush, it was so much fun to get what i came for and get such a great deal! So after all that, we continued to shop and i was home around 7!

Love my mom! I think we just created a tradition that will be with us for a long time...

I got home and Rob was up... got the stuff out of the Jeep and he starts to put the chair in the nursery... Love him he has been so great! So i laid down and took a nap for a few hours, i was so tired. I got up and we put the Christmas tree up and got ready for dinner with family. My aunt Sue and uncle Jim there daughter and husband and there two kids! O my parents were there also! It was great to see them but i was ready to go home and go to bed long day but it was worth every last min!

Thanksgiving!

Today i bought a new camera finally!!! Dont have to stand in line tomorrow at best buy thank god for store pick ups! Im also cooking thanksgiving dinner and lets just say im a little worried about the turkey! With robs help i know it will be ok! My parents and my brother Todd will be over around 6 and dinner will be served.

This is also a special day because my lovely husband just finished putting the chair rail in and starting to put together the furniture. The nursery looks so pretty! I will have pics up as soon as i pick up my camera tomorrow!

Tomorrow is black friday and my mom and I are going out in the madness... We are going to make a plan tonight when she gets here. Have a couple things at babies r us and target. Cross ur fingers and hope we get what we are going out at 4 in the morning for.

Had a great dinner with my mom and dad and my bro Todd! So good to see him dont get to see him very much! Turkey came out juicy and wonderful... so full and sleepy... going to bed early so i can get up with my mom and meet her at Target at 3 AM!! Wish us luck!
