Ok You Asked For Them

The reason for the delay is because I couldn't find my camera cord for the longest time. But it has been retrieved, my camera is charged and the pictures are loaded on my computer. So here are a few prego pictures that didn't get a chance to make it on my blog earlier.

This is me at 23 weeks. You might have to click on the picture to get a better view. The brown shirt makes it hard to see.


This is me at 26 or 27 weeks. I can't remember exactly.



A closer pic of the belly at 26 or 27 weeks.

And this is me Today at 30 weeks and 2 days!
I'm horrible at updating with this pregnancy stuff. Didn't think I would be, but there you have the pics. I am doing a good job at staying in the recommended weight gain of 25-35 pounds. At my appointment last week I was at the 21 pound mark. I will probably end up gaining another 8-10 pounds the last two months. But it's all for the baby right? Post delivery will be a true test of my metabolism. Let's see how fast I can bounce back from this. I can't wait til she's here! For so many reasons, but also so I don't have a belly anymore. I'm not so great at being pregnant. Sleeping gets harder and harder, but I get blessed with at least one or two great nights of sleep per week, so I guess I should be grateful. Yes, I know it's only going to get worse from here, you don't have to remind me.

We have pretty much all of the baby equipment that we need now other then a couple of things we'll need when she's a little older (sitting up, crawling) so we're very happy about that. I finally started buying some clothes with some Kid Bucks I got from my Sister in law, Emily, for my birthday and from the New Moon Premiere. If you didn't know already, I work at a place called Kid to Kid that has been a great blessing for us during this time in our lives. It's been stressful having James still in school and me not having a full time job to have all the money we need to pay for everything and Kid to Kid has been a way for us to purchase the things that we need at a discounted price. I am very grateful that I was given this job even with the owner aware of my pregnancy. She must've known somehow that we needed it.

I haven't set up the room yet, because we are still hoping to move by the end of the year. Hopefully, we'll get someone to bite on our contract. Otherwise, I don't know what we're going to do, but I suppose it will all work out in the end right? Right!

In other news, I guess I am an official resident of Utah cause I finally got my Utah License. Now we just have to get James on board.

Oh, and I got the spice rack I've been wanting for my birthday and it's been put to good use. Thanks to my hubby! I also got a Moby Wrap from Jared and Lindsey that I'm so excited to use when the baby comes. Oh and I purchased a very cute dark navy with white polka dot dress with the gift card to Destination Maternity that Stacee gave me. I love it, it makes me feel pretty!

And last, but not least... we have narrowed it down to two names. We went from 5 to 2 so be proud of us!

Those names are: Janen (rhymes with Canon) or Madeline

Her middle name will be Marie either way.

I think I should stop now, I'm sure most of you have stopped reading. HA!

  5. oh love! i can't wait to see you...in january! it's so far away! i like the picture updates and the life updates.

    i vote for the name janen. But madeline might give her less trouble when people try to pronounce it. however, if anyone tries to give our llhn baby a hard time, i will kick them in the grill :P

  6. Your looking good and it was soooo good to see you last week and give you a hug. Thanks for taking the time to come over and see our new grandson and James playing with the other kids, they loved it. Hope to see you when we come for the blessing during New Years weekend.
    Love you,

  7. Yay for pictures! And that new polka dot dress not only makes you feel pretty, it also does make you even prettier! Something about that "pregnant glow?" People would say that to me and I didn't get it but I do see it in you...even though you're not having the easiest time. And I too didn't stop reading. :)

  8. You're looking good! As for the sleeping...have you tried Unisome? It's safe to take when you're pregnant. I take just a half when I'm pregnant and it HELPS SO MUCH! You should give it a try. And I'm so glad you decided to name the baby after me, my mom, and Tessa.
    (Sara Marie, Susan Marie, Tessa Marie.) Love that name! I actually thought about just using it for a first name, but then I kept thinking about Marie Osmond. :) Well, we hope to see you soon!
