Prego-- 38 Weeks

I think this will be my last and final pregnancy questionnaire I fill out, which I am very pleased to announce!!


How far along: 38 weeks

Total weight gain: 30 pounds

Maternity clothes: For bottoms I have one pair of maternity jeans that i finally caved and bought at 30 weeks (i thought it was a waste of money to wear for such a short time, but they've gotten their use out of them!!) or i'll wear leggings...and for  tops anything that will fit comfortably over the belly and is long enough to cover... my favorite thing to wear is a large pj t-shirt, yoga pants, and flip-flops (all other shoes are super tight but i'm hoping its from my feet swelling and not that they grew in size)

Stretch marks: no...count my blessings!

Sleep: Terrible! I do sleep through the night but wake up a lot feeling uncomfortable...either my left leg feels numb/dead or his bum is up in my ribs making it difficult to breathe

Best moment of this week: the 38 week ultrasound we had today. we got to see his cute little side profile one last time before i can stare at it all day everyday!!! not in a creepy way

Miss anything: sleeping on my stomach and waking up after 9 hours of sleep and feeling rested and energized

Movement: yes! now that i know exactly the position he is laying he definitely sticks his bum out a lot...he must have his dad's cute "bubble butt"

Food cravings: everything and anything that has no nutritional value...i haven't wanted any fruits or vegs lately but loving all junk/sweets...i only have a little longer to feel ok about eating like crap so i'm sucking it all up

Anything making you queasy or sick? no

Have you started to show yet? obviously. one of our neighbors said to me the other day, "You look like you're going to pop!" that's the first comment i've had like that, but i appreciate the honesty because that's how i feel

Belly button in our out: when i looked at it today it looked like it has popped out as far as it can possibly go

Wedding ring on or off: on. it's always been a little big for my finger so now that my hands are swollen it fits perfectly and is a little tough to get off when putting lotion on my hands

Happy or moody most of the time: moody. i'm in the stage where i'm totally over being pregnant and ready to be cuddling him already. but i can't complain because these past 9 months have been a breeze for me and i'm so lucky that my body has been able to handle the pregnancy so well

Looking forward to: our check-up with the dr tomorrow and the anticipation of baby cooper arriving. i just want to know where i'll be/what i'll be doing when i start to experience labor signs. i'm hoping the contractions come first and not the water breaking but no such luck there!

Prego--29 Weeks

So I logged onto the blog yesterday and noticed my last post was from when we first got Ozzie...over 3 months ago and I am WAY bummed that I didn't keep up on my pregnancy pics and questionnaire so I'm going to try my best to flashback and remember how I felt the past little while. Here I go...              ---September 8---


Pregnancy Questionnaire

How far along: 29 weeks

Total weight gain: I'm not totally sure but probably 17 lbs

Maternity clothes: i don't fit in any of my regular jeans anymore but i'm debating whether i want to invest in maternity jeans

Stretch marks: no, thank goodness

Sleep: Great

Best moment of this week: Recently returning from Utah from visiting family and friends

Miss anything:

Movement: By this point I had definitely felt him move. I remember the first time I felt him and knew it was for real. It was on a Sunday in July during sacrament meeting. Our newly called yws president (who had just called me to be a mia-maid advisor) was bearing her testimony when i felt a sudden kick. I quickly turned to josh to share the exciting news. even though it might not seem like that big of a deal to most, it meant the world to me and reminded me that i have a sweet little baby growing inside of me!!

Food cravings: chips and salsa could be a daily snack for me

Anything making you queasy or sick? no

Have you started to show yet? yes it looks a lot like an actual pregnant belly and not just some extra blubber. People actually notice it now and mothers always give me that "pregnant mother smile"

Belly button in our out: by now it had been sticking out for a few weeks. not my favorite thing

Wedding ring on or off: on 

Happy or moody most of the time: happy

Looking forward to
