Mini Pregnancy Survey.

Just a little update...

Week 27

What is new this week?
I am going in for the gestational diabetes test this week. I've heard it sucks so I am not too excited for that, but glad to have it done. Next is my 28 week appointment and I get the Rogam shot. I'll be glad to have that done too. Other than that, Tag is growing like crazy. I have still been having horrible tailbone pain, but they say you can't do much except deal with it. I also went to my first Prenatal Yoga class. It was amazing. I can't wait to go back tomorrow morning!!

How big is the baby?
He is about 2.5 lbs and around 14 or 15 inches according to our baby app. But I know that is not 100% accurate.

Weight Gain:
About 5 pounds.

Maternity Clothes?
I went on my first maternity shopping trip last week. Didn't get much but I am finally making the leap to maternity tops. I still wear regular ones most of the time though. Lots of tanks with cardigans and stuff like that. I am missing Utah/Idaho fall weather. I want to start wearing fall attire but San Antonio is still too hot!

Sleep?
I get up at least 3 times a night for a bathroom trip. Sometimes more, never less. We bought an icomfort sleep revolution bed a couple of weeks ago and it has made a HUGE difference. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. So comfy and my back has been so much better than it was.

Best Moment of the Week?
I love waking up Wednesday morning and my baby app tells me "Congratulations, you have entered the next week of pregnancy." Haha, it's funny how happy it makes me to see that. Baby steps... but we are getting there.

Food Cravings/Aversions:
Milk. milkmilkmilk. That is about the only craving I have. I've kinda been craving pizza a little bit, only the oven red baron classic crust pepperoni though. But Colton hates it so I don't really get to have it lol. But that is a good thing. Oh, and POPCICLES. HEB sells these pineapple/mango slush pops and I am obsessed with them.

Movement:
All the time. Like I said before, I think he will a bareback rider like his Dad because I am pretty sure he is spurring in my belly. He knows when Dad is trying to feel him move though... I think its a game to be extra still then.

What I miss?
Feta cheese. I was eating these salads with spinach, mandarin oranges and feta cheese all the time before I got pregnant. They are my favorite. I crave them still. I want to make sure we are stocked up as soon as I am home from the hospital.

What I'm Looking forward to?
My appt next week. I like knowing I'm appt closer to having him here. We are also going to do the 3D/4D ultrasound in the next couple weeks. I can't wait to see his little face.

Frustrated!!

I started messing with my blog, trying to update it for fall, and I just found out Blogger is having issues. So I have changed a bunch of things and none of them will show up.

Very annoying. Hopefully they get it fixed soon. My blog is a mess.

Pregnancy Update.

Pregnancy is awesome.



Okay maybe there is a little sarcasm there. I am so happy to be pregnant so I really don't want to complain but like I said before, I want to document pregnancy stuff and not all of it is so great.



Let me start off saying overall I feel great!! Better than I have the whole pregnancy for sure. I haven't been too uncomfortable and my energy level has been really good. I wish the whole pregnancy was as easy as the past couple weeks have been. Well, for the most part...



I know people say you get mood swings but I'm not an emotional person so I didn't think I would really get that part. Well I did. No, I still don't cry but I get mad. At drivers, people at the grocery store, the weather, when the dishes don't come as clean as I'd like. Not like irritated but like it takes everything in me to not flip the bird at every car that we pass. (ps that is crazy for me because i think that it is super trashy and ive never been like that nor have ever done it) Colton has been so great. He says he just tries to stay out of the way. I don't blame him. The most frustrating thing of all is when I'm in a bad mood, and I am 100% aware of it, but I can't change it! I just try to explain... "I know I'm being crazy right now, I can't really help it. It will pass just give me a little bit." I'm glad I don't have to live with me right now.



Haven't had too many cravings lately. Except milk. Between Colton and I we go through a gallon every 2-3 days. It's crazy. I also went through a PEZ thing. Weird I know. I haven't had PEZ since I was a little kid. I've hated candy this whole pregnancy and still do but I really have loved PEZ.



Disclaimer: this next paragraph may not be suitable for all readers. ;)
For all those future mommas who haven't had babies yet, let me tell you something. I apologize if it's TMI but the constant bathroom trips a day have kicked into high gear. All night and all day. I was very well informed that I would have to pee alot during pregnancy however I didn't know that it would happen like this. Example: Yesterday we were at the Nike store, no big deal looking at stuff and Tag moved and literally I was like, "bathroom NOW!" it hits so fast!!! But then to make it a billion times more frustrating, I get to the bathroom and barely even have to go. So annoying. I was jut never informed of this lovely part of pregnancy so I thought that I would give you all a heads up.



Feeling Tag move has seriously been once of the neatest experiences of my whole life. I love being at the store and felling him wiggle around. Even though he isn't born yet I never feel alone. It's just the coolest feeling. However I think my little tag man is running out of room. His cute little movements have turned into big ouchie movements. I literally yell "ow!" out loud on complete accident sometimes. He kicks the worst places and it hurts!! But I'm just grateful he is active and doing well so I will take it for another 100 days.



We have a new doctor here is San Antonio. Depending on how things go this next month, we will most likely being delivering here so we won't have I switch doctors again. He is really great! I finally feel really good and him. We go back next week for a little blood work and then the week after for my Rogam shot. But he says everything is looking really good and Tag is doing well!!



I feel like this post is so negative! I assure you, I am not trying to make it sound that way. I am beyond grateful for this little boy. I can not wait for him to be here and I can hold him in my arms. I just want to document pregnancy happenings. I am more or less venting and don't want anyone to think I am complaining.



Here is a funny little comic I came across. Seems fitting for the circumstances...

More crafts.

{im blogging from my phone again so i cant seperate the pictures as i would like so bear with me.}



Yesterday was craft day at my house.




First I made button earrings. They were so simple and fun. I can't wait to go get more fabric to make more!



Then I made a dry erase board for the kitchen. I'm always in the kitchen when I remember things I need at the store and never have a pen and paper so I framed scrapbook paper, tied a bow and bought a marker and voila!



I also needed something to put on the counter between my sink and dining room. So I bought block letters and mod podged scrapbook paper on them, tied a couple ribbons and set them in leaves.



Colt came home to more crafts and is starting to get worried. I promised him I won't continue this streak... I just need to find projects that take longer. I'm working on something for above our bed. I'll post that later ;)

Another first.

Tag got his first hiccups yesterday!!!



I know it's a silly little thing but it was sooo cool... but really weird at the same time!!



Just had to document ;)

Craving Fall

Growing up, I have never been a big fan of fall. It's starts getting cold, I never liked the colors, it was just always sad to me. Now I'm completely opposite. I love the colors, smells, and being in San Antonio, I can't wait for it to cool down! I've been really excited to decorate for fall as well. I haven't even done half of the projects I want to do but I've got a couple of cute things started and found some fun finds at hobby lobby. It's my new favorite store.



Colt has been dragged to hobby lobby a few times and has been a champ. These are a couple of my fun finds and crafts I've started. I'm excited to start the next ones!!

Newest Hobby.

Now that I am back in Texas and we are waitin for our townhouse to be ready to move in (only two more days thank heavens) I have had tons of free time at the hotels. So I started watching YouTube videos and learned to crochet!!


This is my first project and I learned alot. There are a couple mistakes but it makes me excited to start my next projects.


I can't wait for Tag to be here and I can wrap him up in it!!
