Today I feel totally BLESSED.

Thirty EIGHT Weeks

Yesterday I was 38 weeks. I went to the doctor today and he said that I was a solid one. I am not even sure what a solid one is but anyways. Last week I had an ultrasound so the doctor could decide if he was moving up my due date to tomorrow. Easton was weighing around 7lbs and he said he will probably gain about half a pound a week and the dr thinks I will do fine with this. I am not positive on this but I am thinking any mom who had a baby weighing 7.1 lbs and one weighing 8 something could defiantly tell some differences! So with this information my due date is still August 24. I really would not like to be induced this time so we will have to see how that goes.

I am feeling pretty good for the most part nothing out of the ordinary for being 38 weeks along. I have gained 23 lbs so far and I feel it there is just not a lot of room when you are just shy of 5'2. When I was pregnant with Addi my hands went numb the for the last trimester and they hurt SO bad. They would tingle and then my wrists would throb. I also had some swelling in my legs and hands. This time I have not had either and I know it is because I am not working. I think not using my hands and not sitting in the same position for 8 hours a day has really helped. We are ready to meet Easton so we are just waiting!

Justin has been at work since early Saturday afternoon and will be home sometime tomorrow. As you know it has been SOOO hot and they have had a lot of fires. He has not been home at all during this time. I am so ready for him to come home. Please pray for all the firefighters. It is almost 110 degrees here and their gear weighs around 80 pounds I get hot just thinking about it.

I love Addi but being at home just the two of us for almost 3 days has been a little challenging. I am going to be extra nice to Justin when he comes home because I do not ever want to be a single parent!! The heat and me being 38 weeks pregnant really narrows down what we do. I know that not every day has to be a super fun day and some days in life are pretty boring but we go crazy if we stay at home all day!

I am enjoying my time off and enjoying Addi but I do miss somethings about work of course I miss my paycheck but I also miss my lunch breaks...they were all MINE usually I went alone and would shop, run errands or probably the best lunch break read while I drank my diet coke. Also I never ever had co-workers follow me into the bathroom each time I had to go. Would love to be all alone for a 5 minutes!

Easton's Room

I wish I was better at taking pictures but here is Eastons room. A couple of weeks ago Justin's mom came and stayed the weekend and did all the bedding. As I said before, I wanted to do firetrucks but never could find anything I liked. I am so happy with the way his room turned out. I love the reds and blues together and the vintage cowboy. I found the dresser at an antique store and thought it went with the room. It feels good to have it all ready for him.

Addi has been going to bed a LITTLE better. She likes to play like she is the mom and she is trying to get me to go to bed. It is pretty funny because she knows exactly what to say. Today she said shut up and dont get out of the bed again...I do NOT say shut up....I said what did you say to me and she thought for a second and she said PLEASE shut up and dont get out of bed again. Sometimes it is so hard to not laugh!

A Lake Trip

We decided that we needed to take a mini trip before the baby was born and since the lake is not far from here we decided to go. We really had a good time it was so relaxing. Our day was waking up going swimming, lunch,nap, swim, dinner, smores, swim, bed time. Addi had a great time and isn't it always nice to just get away for a few days??

I have Eastons room done and will do that post later I love the way it turned out but I am going to watch Big Brother now. Anyone else love this show as much as Justin and I do??

Eastons Baby Shower

I am so thankful to have a baby shower for the second baby. It was nice to get all the cute stuff because Justin and I did not need anything since we still have all of Addis things. Thank you to everyone that made the effort to come it was over a 100 degrees that day. I was so glad to see everyone. Justin and I also had a garage sale that weekend so it was busy! I could only last until about 10 so Justin helped out alot.

I wish I would have got better pictures of everyone sometimes I dont feel like taking pictures because then I don't get to talk to everyone as much. Joni and Janie did a great job they had cake pops and the they put the lemonade in the mason jars. I had a great time got some great stuff and enjoyed everyone.

35 weeks and Addi

This week I was 35 weeks and I started going to the dr every week. This week was nice because Justin got to go with me because Janie came over to watch Addi. We went to the dr then to lunch then to a movie. I keep thinking each time we get to do something this may be the last time for awhile or this may be the last time as a family of 3!

The appointment went fine my dr is going to be gone for a week and he said he does not see me having the baby this week. I still have to wait until 37 weeks to do the ultrasound to see if I am actually further along so we will see. I started thinking last night and even though I am hot and uncomfortable (that is the word I am going to use) I want to stop wishing my time to pass by faster. I am trying enjoy Addi and doing things with her and being home. I thought maternity leave went by so fast last time and I am in no huge hurry to go back to work. Just wish staying home had the same pay check. Tomorrow we are going to have maternity pictures done.

We (more Justin than me) decided Addi was to big for a baby bed. The first couple of nights went fine she never got up and did great. Well not so much anymore. She gets up to use the bathroom which I am glad for but she does not go right back to bed she cries and cries and cries. It started at being up for about 2 hours now we are at around 45 minutes. It is exhausting to say the least! She loved the bath paints

Here is Addi before we went to the movies on Tuesday she looks SOOO Big!!!
