Life Lately (this and that blog post)

I am almost there:-)  I'll be 34 weeks on Saturday and every day that passes I am able to breathe a little sigh of relief!  A few weeks ago I had my last ultrasound regarding the baby's heart and my cervix.  And I am pleased to say that our little ones heart is perfect:-)  No more pericardial effusion:-)  As for my cervix-it's shorter and I'm 1.5cm dialated.  I have been for 3 weeks now with no change so at this point the doctor's aren't too concerned.  And on Saturday I no longer have to take my progesterone pills (ya)!  It really does feel so good to have made it this far!  I am feeling very very blessed.

How precious is this baby?


According to the measurements the baby weighed 3lbs 15oz (give or take a pound).  So far this baby is measuring normal.  My boys were big so we'll see what this one weighs in at!  It's little heart rate is 150 beats per minute and according to the doctors, it has the most picture perfect heart!  Praise God!

I got to see my little angel yawning!  It was quite precious!  And I am so blessed for all times I've been able to see my little one throughout this pregnancy (and for the abundance of ultrasound photo's)!
Baby yawning!


I've been feeling large...very very large.  And my face (and my whole body for that matter) looks like I've been stung by a bee and have had an allergic reaction.  I fantasize about running and working out daily.  I've never fantasived about excersing...ever!  And I can't wait to wear jeans...without an elastic waist band.  And I really really really want these boots!  And I want to wear them with a new pair of skinny jeans and an oversized shirt.  Realistically I know I probably won't wear them this season but they are on sale and I don't know if I can wait till next year to get them!  I think I really want new boots because at this point it's the only thing that will fit me!  I've been sqeezing everything into my regular clothes and Lord only knows this body isn't an extra small any more!  I no longer walk, I waddle and I do a mean grinch walk as well!  But it does feel oh so good to be living life "normally" again!  Ya to "just taking it easy!"


Me Loves A Good Sale!

I love a good sale.  Love love love!  Saving money (and spending money) just feels so good for the soul (I think that's one reason why I love Christmas so much)!!!  I really wanted to get new ornaments for the Christmas tree this year but I thought I'd wait till after Christmas to get them (when they are on sale).  Well it just so happened that Michaels was having a super good sale and between 8 and noon you got to save an additional 30% off your whole purchase including sale items!  And I SCORED all new ornaments for the tree!!!!!  White and silver...plain and simple!  Oh and new garland and silver ribbon for the staircase.  I'm itching to get decorating but the hubby says not until December 1!

On Wednesday I packed up my desk at work.  I officially start maternity leave on Saturday.  As hard as the last few months have been it has felt SO good to be home with the boys!  And what a difference it makes (and feels) not having to wake up early and go to work all day!  I missed it (abit) probably more for the social aspect but I love my mornings with my boys! 

Last night Lincoln spent the night at my parents.  As much as I sometimes need a little "mommy time" I miss my boys so much when I'm not with them!  I did however feel super grateful to get some snuggles in this morning with my littlest man!  Hard to believe he's going to be a big brother soon!

And who says boys aren't cuddlers?  Both my boys love to cuddle!

I've been loving my time with my boys lately!  I have my days where I just need a break but watching these two...I don't even think I can describe it...it's just heart warming (when they aren't stealing one another's toys)!





And I loved waking up to the first snow fall!  Sitting at the table, drinking hot coffee and knowing we could stay in our pj's all day!

My little photographer has been getting annoyed with me lately.  Poor Lincoln just wants to watch cartoons but instead I have him taking belly pics.  He always says "Just one picture mom!"  I always rope him into taking more (Halloween candy has been coming in handy)...the first few are always blurry, side ways, out of focus, too zoomed in, too zoomed out-it takes us awhile to get one good one and I don't know who gets more frustrated-me or him!

This belly is low!  And surprisingly measuring smaller than I did with the boys!  Only a few more weeks to go!

33 weeks with #3!
