35 Weeks and other randoms...

  • Today we are 35 weeks preggo with Weston. (I should say I, not we). We are doing great besides my swelling. It is really bad and I'm trying to drink as much water as possible to help it out. It's actually disgusting and grosses me out! I go tomorrow to get another ultrasound, as long as he is not too big, we are scheduled to deliver him on April 18, 4 weeks from tomorrow. Crazy, I can't believe we are almost to the end!
  • I will post pics of his room when we are finished which hopefully will be before he arrives. All I really need to do it get curtains in and some more parts for the bedding.
  • Will and Luke are getting SUPER excited! It is so nice and fun to see them helping already and even really excited about Weston. I could not love my boys more than I do right now, they make me burst with excitement.
  • We have about 10 outside projects going right now. Seriously like big projects. Thankful that J is handling most of it, but I can't lie, I love getting out in the yard and working on my flower beds, so he has been trying to get me to stop, I just can't.
  • No matter if I'm pregnant or not, I still have my normal routine. I'm not a girl that sits back and let's people do things for her, it actually gets on my nerves when I hear of woman doing that. I would rather do all things myself than have or ask anyone to help. I think that is J's biggest complaint about me right now, he wants to help and do things and only if it's heavy lifting do I let him do so. Life goes on, I am blessed with normal pregnancies and no major complications and I get my stuff done. He keeps to most of the outside work (besides my flower beds that look hideous right now) and I stick to the inside. I'm seriously thinking about repainting our trim before Weston arrives, J thinks I'm crazy for even trying.
  • This pregnancy has been the exact same as the others... It really amazes me! Weston is so funny to us and he has not even come out yet. He has such a personality already and I can only imagine how this little boy will be once he arrives.
  • We are getting so excited and will keep you all posted. I hope he cooperates tomorrow and let's us get a good picture of him... I think he might be fed up with the pictures, last 2 times he has kept his hands and feet over his face. He is already our little protestor!

Happy March!!

  • Can you believe it is already March 1? I can't and it means I have only 1 full month until it's the month I give birth. Oh Lawdy, still so much to do!
  • I know you guys forgot about me, it's been forever and I have so much updating to do.
  • Not only is today March 1, it feels like Spring here in Memphis. It is so beautiful and I can't wait to get the boys from school so we can be outside enjoying it.
  • I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. I knew it could of been a possiblity with me having PCOS before I got pregnant, BUT it was so upsetting at first. Since being diagnosed, I have met with the high risk doctor and they have cleared me due to since keeping records of my sugars I have had NO high sugars. It has not been bad at all and I can still eat what I want. Just really watching my drinks.
  • We are a full 32 weeks along now and Weston (as of yesterday) weighs 4 lbs 2 oz. They say that is right on track and has him weighing about 7.5 to 8lbs by birth. Just like his big brothers.
  •  We are working on the nursery. That should be done soon!
  • And just because he is so darn cute, here are some recent pictures of Weston, yes in the first one he is sticking his tongue out. I guess he was saying enough is enough Mom!! It is hard to see his full face, he had the cord moved to right in front of his face, it moved away at one point and we saw him pull it back towards his face. Simply amazing is all I could think, such a miracle!!!

I will update you all on what our life has been up too lately and some pictures. Have a wonderful first day of March!!
