35 & 36 Weeks...


I'm slipping again so here's last week's and this weeks...

How far along? 36 weeks

Weight gain: as of today 3lbs

Baby Weighs: around 6lbs

Sleep: what is sleep? It's hard to sleep when you can't breath out of your nose and you have to pee constantly! LOL

Best moment of the week: I suppose the best moment coming up will be the turn of the year... 2013 will be a very new adventure for us!

Worst moment of the week: More snow!!! YUCK!

Miss anything? Being able to breath through my nose

Movement: All the time it seems but more of a rolling feeling than jabs.

Food cravings: Nothing this week

Wedding rings on or off? Still on :)

Happy or moody most of the time? Both, and I'm sure it won't be changing!

Looking forward to: At this point there is so much to look forward to but so much yet to do before Baby Heller comes so at the moment I'm full of anxiety, stress, excitement, worried, happy, and everything in between!  Should be an interesting 4 more weeks!


35 Weeks... Our 35th week went pretty fast with Christmas in it.  We made all of our rounds and had a wonderful Christmas with everyone.  I got a little sick Christmas night and the day after Christmas was spent on the couch for the most part but I'm feeling better now.  I do wish I could breath better through my nose but I don't think that will be happening until this little one comes out.  The netty pot has become my friend but it really doesn't help for very long.  Other than that, we're doing great and have the house back to "normal" already thanks to Cody and his obsession with cleaning... LOL  I am pretty lucky that he's willing to help with a lot and that he didn't mind putting away most of the Christmas decorations for me.

Best moment of the week: My massage this morning was pretty good but seeing it's only Monday, there'll probably be an even better moment later in the week

How far along? 31 weeks, 6 days

Weight gain: Still nothing but creeping up...

Baby Weighs: around 3.9lbs, 19inches

Maternity clothes... My feeling on maternity clothes is that I'm getting sick of them and wearing the same thing... I've mentioned this before as well so I'm looking forward to being able to wear my regular clothes.

Sleep: Getting more and more tired but more and more to get done at the same time so I'm not getting a whole lot of sleep like I should be :(

Best moment of the week: Hearing that our good friends are pregnant as well :)

Worst moment of the week: Sneezing too hard or coughing to hard... leads to something I was hoping wouldn't happen... I'm sure all you women know what I mean

Miss anything? My SHOES!!!! 

Movement: More rolling around now than jabs

Food cravings: Sprite Zero

Wedding rings on or off? Still on :)

Happy or moody most of the time? Happy, but can be moody... ask Cody! LOL

Worst moment of the week: There were these guys on our flight out to Vegas that were in LOVE with themselves, especially the one... I wanted to tell him to pull his lip over his head and swallow... and what do you know... they were on our flight back too sitting right by us again!! UGH!!!!

28 Weeks...




How far along? 28 weeks, 6 days

Weight gain: Nada...none :)

Baby Weighs: around 2.9lbs

Maternity clothes? Getting sick of them and wearing the same thing over and over!

Sleep: A little better now that I basically wrestle with my body pillow when I switch sides and my cold is finally subsiding so I'm able to breath a little better.

Best moment of the week: First snow fall came on Tuesday :) And my parent's cabin was set on Monday so that was neat to watch get done!

Worst moment of the week: Went to have Chesney's stitches taken out from his surgery, about 2 hours later his whole incision opened up and I had a kitchen floor with fluid/blood all over it and freaking out.  Thankfully our farm vet was at the farm, he came and packed the wound with gauze and then Cody took Chesney to Grassland Vet in Granton to get fixed up but now he has more stitches and drains now as well.  When our vet and Cody got to the house I had to leave the room, not because I was queazy but because I needed to go ball my head off for 5 mins... Oh I love my dog :)

Miss anything? Is it bad to say alcohol? After the day I had yesterday, I could've really used a glass (or bottle) of wine.

Movement: Everyday all day :)

Food cravings: Alfredo lately... have had it twice in a week now... lol

Wedding rings on or off? Still on :)

Happy or moody most of the time? Happy but nervous now that we're in the countdown to baby!

Looking forward to: May 18, 2013... Kenny Chesney... Miller Park... YES!!!!! (Mom, mark your calendar for babysitting!)
