THE FINAL WEEK


How far along?  
39 weeks
We are in the final week ladies and gents!!

Maternity clothes?
Only a few shirts  and a dress. Other than that I just wear leggings, dresses, and some of Michaels shirts.

Stretch marks?
Not a single one thank goodness!
When I was in school I learned in my Anatomy and Physiology class that if you start putting on shay butter/coconut oil(I used the Palmers cocoa butter and sometimes add my 100% coconut essentials oil.) two months before getting pregnant, that it will help your skin loosen and become more elastic.  So once we decided to start trying I immediately got some lotion and put it on every other day(or you can put it on everyday).  I know that, that is what helped me not get any stretch marks. I cant guarantee it will work for everyone, but what I do know is that if you don't start lotioning your skin early, it for sure will not be ready for the drastic change that is about to happen.

Sleep?
I have actually been able to sleep really well this whole pregnancy.
I of course have the occasional nights that I barely sleep at all, but for the most part I have been able to catch some Z's quite nicely.

Favorite moments?
my most favorite moments is definitely the times when he is pushing on my tummy 
and you can see his whole foot.
Every time it happens it does freak me out a little because that is a human! 
I have a human in my body! 
It gets me every time.
I also have loved to see how much my body has changed! I have enjoyed taking pictures of the baby bump.

Moments you will not miss?
The hiccups for sure! I don't know why, but that is one thing I do not like. He got them at least three times a day  and I never got use to it.
I also will not miss the feeling of him dropping lower into the birth canal and sending all my tendons and muscles into a panic! Being able to pee and walk without pain will be wonderful!!

Miss anything? 
To be honest I miss everything! 
I miss laying on my tummy, sprinting and jumping, working out, I miss sleeping on my back, breathing normal, bending down, lifting heavy things.  
Really I just miss not having to worry about a tummy haha
Don't get me wrong I love being pregnant and the experience it brings, but in all honesty it is not among my favorite things.

Movement: 
He has stopped moving a lot at nights which is awesome, but he now moves a lot during the day and after dinner. Which not having him move a lot at nights has been amazing! Sleep has been awesome.

Food cravings: 
I have not had any weird craving.
but I have had cravings for sweets like you can't believe and 5 guy fries.
I also have wanted everything fruit, so at least there is one good craving.

Anything making you queasy or sick?
Nope, nothing

Labour signs?
He has dropped a little and the pressure is excruciating.
Mucus plug has come out.
haven't been to the doctor yet to see if I have dilated any, but we go in a couple days, so we shall find out more soon. 

Symptoms?
Lots of pressure and pain.
Heartburn was worse a couple weeks ago now it is not so bad.
Low appetite/feels like my tummy is squished and I have to force myself to eat.
Out of breath all the time!
Belly just started itching(even with the continued use of lotions and oils)
It has now become hard to walk to far.

Belly button in or out?
It has been in most the time, but when the baby curls up right at my belly button it gets pushed out a little.

Wedding rings on or off?  
It still fits, but when I exert myself in anyway I get a little swollen, so I have just kept it off these past few weeks to be on the safe side.

Happy or moody most of the time:
I seriously have been the happiest person to be around and I think that is because I can not hold the excitement in that we have a little one coming!  I have had almost zero mood swings this whole pregnancy which has been such a blessing. I am a very laid back person though, so making myself happy is not hard to do, even for my husband which has been a plus for him too.

Looking forward to: 
Starting our life with a little one.

A THANKSGIVING FULL OF FAMILY & LAUGHTER

I was so excited when I found out my family was able to go to Moses Lake for Thanksgiving! Tualatin is only 4.45 hours away from Moses Lake, so once they said they said they were going,  Michael and I were definitely going too. We had so much fun with the family, but missed Kelsey and her husband a lot! Hopefully next holiday season they will be able to get more time off from the Marines. So one of the nights we were there we all played Heads Up (The app game Ellen Degeneres made that is like charades.)  We seriously all about pee'd our pants we were dying of laughter! By far one of the funnest game nights I have had in a while!  I was able to catch a few of them on video, but I definitely missed the funniest ones. Here is a look at our crazy and awesome family! Justin and Dad Michael and Uncle Corby Seriously though if you are looking for something fun to do with a bunch of people, this is it my friends!! Do it. I absolu...

WHERE YOU GO I WILL GO

You always know when someone is going to giving you bad new. They sit you down and look at you with a sad/serious face. Then come the words you new you would hear, "I have some bad news".  And in your mind you are trying to figure out what could possibly be going on. Well as you probably guessed, this happened to me about a month ago. I was eating breakfast and Michael sat next to me and told me that he "had some bad news". I stopped eating and just stared at him waiting for the news,  but I had an idea of what he was going to say. I normally never get bad news and the look Michael had on his face told me everything. We were moving. Once it finally came from his mouth I burst into tears. He began to tell me that we would be moving to Tualatin, OR    Michaels Parents need his help with the Business in Oregon because it is doing so well.  He is needed so that the bus...
