Week 34 & 35

 

Time sure feels like it's flying by :) 35 weeks is already here, that's crazy to think she'll be here in about a month. Trev and I are so excited to finally meet her and to hold her in our arms!

 

 

She's the size of a honeydew melon this week. I went to the doctor's yesterday and now I'll be going on a weekly basis instead of every 2 weeks. The midwife said Raelin is in the optimal position and if she stays that way that would only be a good thing. Her heart beat is strong and everything is looking great. The midwife showed me how baby was positioned and that's why I can feel her feet kicking my ribs and whatever else she wants to kick lol. Every day I look down at my belly and think to myself, there isn't anymore room, where is she going to go lol and every week I get bigger and bigger :P 

 

 

 

 

Last week Trev and I went on vacation, it was nice to get away and just enjoy the time together. It was great seeing all our friends and Trev's family. Vacations are always fun but by the end of the week it was nice to get home, relax, and give my feet a well needed break.

It was great seeing all your smiling faces and I think of you all often :)

 

 

 

(Thank you to my Choices Family,Stephanie and PJ, our neighbor @our old house Beverly and Trev's Family for all the great gifts, they will all be put to good use and I know Raelin will love them)

 

(When we got home from our vacation we found these, thanks Grandma Sheila and Pat :)

That Moby wrap is a little tricky but I hear it's a life saver and I'm looking forward to wearing it.

 

The last night of our vacation we spend with Trev's family. It was nice to see them all, especially his cousins because one just had a baby and another one is due in December. So babies were definitely the center of topic. Thank you husbands for putting up with it :) I'm sorry we didn't get a big group shot of everyone but hopefully next year when we visit again.

 

(all the food was really yummy, but that cake made my taste buds dance lol)



(my husband is awesome lol)

 

Once we got home Trev had to work for a couple days and than yesterday he headed to Baltimore to work for a week and then he'll be home for good until Raelin is here. Knowing I only have a couple more weeks to go I'm making a list of all the "To Do's" I have to get done before she's here. If this isn't "nesting" than hell, I don't know what is, lol!

 

I want to thank everyone again for all the wonderful gifts. I've also had a couple people ask me again where we are registered and we're at Target and Babies R Us.

 

I hope everyone has a great week and isn't getting too wet from all these rain storms :)

 

 



Project Pictures

I've finally got some major projects done this past week and was really excited to share pictures!

I got the Manistee Light house decal cut out and on the wall with help from my mom :)

 

I got the crib skirt put together and sewn with help from Mary Jo :)

 

 

Found some end tables at a yard sale and redid them, one for our media room and one for Raelin's room :)

 

 (before picture, bought for $4 each)

 

 (repainted and in the media room, final cost was under $10)

 

 (repainted with new knobs, in Raelin's room, was also under $10, woohoo I love a good deal :)

Week 32 & 33

Wow, time is sure flying by. It's happy and sad at the same time. I absolutely love being pregnant. (I definitely didn't think I'd be saying that especially at the beginning of pregnancy) But I am truly enjoying it now. It's crazy to think in just a few weeks Raelin will be here :)

This past weekend Trev was able to come home just for a night and this week he'll be coming home for good :) It will be so great to have him around and can experience the rest of pregnancy with me. He loves seeing Raelin move in my belly. I swear every day she is just getting stronger and moves even more. We can feel her feet when she pushes on my ribs, she gets the hiccups, and feels like she's on the move 90% of the day lol.

We only have about 50 more days until she's here according to my phone app lol. She's the size of a pineapple and weighs about 4 1/2 lbs.

This week is my last hypnobirthing class. I met some very nice couples in that class and sorry it's almost over. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Trev will be able to come with me so he can at least meet the other couples, the instructor, and also take another tour of the hospital.

Trev will also be able to accompany me to my 33 week doctors appt. this week, which I know we're both excited for.

I've finally got some major projects done this past week and was really excited to share pictures but my phone is acting up so I'll have to try and download them later.

Her room is sure coming together and Trev got to see it all and loved it. There are still a couple small projects we want to work on before she gets here but I know Trev is looking forward to helping :)

Hope everyone has a good week and hopefully my phone will stop acting up so I can show you all some pictures of what I've been up to :)
