32 Weeks

32 weeks pregnant: (8 months pregnant now!)

Craving~ McDonald's cheeseburgers
Feeling~ hormonal, some Braxton Hicks, but comfortable overall
Symptoms~ pregnancy insomnia, minor heartburn, swollen ankles


New this week: exhaustion! All of the sudden it's difficult to get through the work day because my body is just screaming for a nap.





Si, from the TV show Duck Dynasty, is on to something...


Last night, even though I was dog tired, I did not get much sleep. I think I was out for a few hours before I woke up because duty called, then I could not get back to sleep. Pregnancy insomnia strikes again. What do you do when you can't sleep?


Hot cocoa worked well for me. After drinking this down, sleep came for a couple more hours before 5 AM hit. Then I was up again and I never went back to sleep for the day.

Levi and I had our Valentine's Day celebration today. We don't spend money on cards, candy or flowers because I would rather use that money to go out to dinner and do something fun. Instead of having "date night", we had "date day".

Date Day started with breakfast at the VFW hall. Pancakes, biscuits and gravy- oh my! We then traveled to get new tires for Levi's Expedition. Of course Levi, being the romantic that he is, dropped me off at Kohl's while this was going on. I found the cutest outfit for Aria!

"Tutu Wild"

After a pit-stop at QT for drinks, we then went to my favorite thrift store, Red Racks. I found so many great clothes for Aria! Today's mission was to focus on 0-3 month clothes. Success! Everything is already washed and put away.

Our final Date Day shopping stops were Sam's Club to price diapers, Chili's to eat, and Babies r Us. Babies r Us had a great sale, so of course Aria got a couple more outfits.

Finally home, I began washing while Levi made homemade lasagna. He's such a great husband. My mom came over to eat with us and see the nursery with all of the goodies we bought Aria today.





I loved Date Day!

Accomplishments of 34 Weeks

Image
How was your weekend? Ours was busy, but we still had time to play. Sunday was our annual Freedom Celebration at church. Since I'm not playing in the orchestra, I got to sit back and enjoy watching for the first time in the 8 years I have been attending our fabulous church.  We've made it to  34 weeks   so far. That's an accomplishment in and of itself! I'm incredibly proud of these babies! As usual, the babies all got great reports today and passed their tests with flying colors. Baby A: Livi heart rate: 132 She was actually the first to pass her NST today instead of being last like usual. Baby B: Beckett heart rate: 137 Beckett was the sleepy one today. He needed the noise stimulation during the Non-Stress Test, but then woke him up and he passed. He is so squished that we couldn't get any pictures of him today. Baby C: Henry  heart rate: 152 As always, Henry is running around all over the place and the life of the part

5 Month Camera Roll

Happy 5 months to my baby girl! Here's the pictures from our photo shoot today. I just thought this look was funny! Like she's saying, "I've got my eye on your Grandma and Grandpa..." She's happy now, but last night she was up for 3 hours. I could feel two teeth poking through: one on the top gums and one on the bottom. It was a long night. The good news tonight is the heat in the weather finally broke. It was such a nice evening, we sat outside for a little while. Look how funny Aria thinks Gus is when he fetches the ball. The video didn't catch her adorable laughing, but it's still pretty cute. In running news, I jogged 2 miles this evening- no stopping! Jogging has been a real struggle because all the extra weight I'm carrying feels more like 500 pounds instead of 27, but tonight was a success. That's 3 jogs this week!  Here's to keeping it

And We're Crawling

Aria has been filling my days up this week. The 6-9 month wardrobe is in the process of being boxed up. We're on to 9-12 month clothes, and stealing Daddy's hats. Last night, my niece, Jillian celebrated her 11th birthday with us at Olive Garden.                                             Aria always likes a party, but how excited she gets when she sees my mom is the true entertainment.  I'm thankful I got to spend the evening with my niece and the rest of my family. After that great night, Aria was up at 4:30 AM. I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that she has four teeth coming in. Ouch. Since we were up at 4:30, I decided to have a fashion show of the clothes we bought Aria last night. Her 9 month professional photo shoot is Saturday. That calls for a new outfit. Although I purchased 9-12 month sizes, this outfit is just too tight. The 12-18 month shirt fits just right. Back to the
