Maternity clothes: I can't wait to be back in my normal clothes.
Stretch marks? I think I may have made them worse by how much food I ate the other day.
Sleep? Two Words: Food Coma
Best moment last week? So my husband got his first tummy time with his little girl. It was so amazing!  She just loves his voice. She moved and bounced around so much as he spoke and sang to her. He was just radiating happiness laying there talking to our little bean. This was seriously the best moment ever.

33 Weeks

How far along? 33 Weeks

Weight gain:  Well I went to the doctor's this week and weighed in at 183

Maternity clothes: Yes, have you seen the belly? I don't think I could fit into normal clothes anymore if I tried. 

Stretch marks?  Alas they have come, I have found a few more on my hips. They are not big or anything just small little pink lines. 

Sleep? Oh sleep! I am not sure if it is because I am "home" or what but sleep has been so good lately. I have yet to sleep in my own bed but the comfort of my couch is enough for me to catch some Zs. 

Best moment last week?  I would have to say going to the Docs office. You see when the nurse was trying to hear my little beans heart beat, we heard a strange sound. Then I felt her start moving. Moving a LOT!  Now every time the nurse put the probe to my belly my little bean pushed it away. It took a solid five minutes for us to be able to get a heart beat but even then we only heard it for a few seconds before my little miss started kicking again. 

Food cravings/ aversions: No cravings or anything. Things have pretty much slowed down in that section. But on a side note I did make my own yogurt!!!! Yes you read correctly I made my own yogurt. It was/is awesome. I will post a how to on my next batch.

Belly button in/out? It is still in, fighting to stay in but still in. 

What I miss: My husband. Yup I miss him I think being back in California, surrounded in a house with all of our things makes me miss him even more. 

What I am looking forward to: Oh lots of things. I have another appointment this week and I set up an appointment at my physical therapy place, San Diego Spine and Rehab (if you are in the San Diego area I strongly suggest giving them a visit,) I am so excited for this appointment because my back has been killing me!

Random Info:  OH MY GOSH!!!!! I am listening to the Hunger Games series and these books are crazy!!! Yes I know I am late to join in on all the Hunger Game craze. But seriously this series is brutal, who thinks of these kind of things. 

Also I found the charger to my camera, which has been dead for months, and I found a picture of me at week 7, which I did not think I had. In my post is just a picture of my board that I took with my phone. What a difference huh!?

32 Weeks!!!!

Oh my goodness!!! 32 weeks, only five left until I am full term!!! Holy crap I could have a baby in a months time!!!!! 

Sorry no chalk board this week,
it is packed away in a box somewhere.

How far along? 32 WEEKS

Weight gain:  I have no idea, I have not been able to check. 

Maternity clothes: I am finally in California and go shopping for some more tops :) 

Stretch marks?  I have not found any more on my belly or hips or anything but I think the ones I had on my legs from when I was a kid are bigger. But I can't tell because my belly blocks them from sight. 

Sleep? :) You know this week sleep has been so great. I dunno if it is because it is getting better or because by the time I go to bed I am so exhausted from the day my body cannot protest. 

Best moment last week?  Getting my new house!!!! It is beautiful! I have a great view of the ocean from the front yard, my closet is huge, and it has 3 bedrooms. Be prepared to see some Pinterest projects!!!!

Movement? She is such a little mover. I love watching my belly jiggle around as she is in their dancing :) 

Food cravings/ aversions ? I can't eat any hard foods, but that is not due to pregnancy. My bottom left wisdom tooth is trying to break through and it hurts so badly! 

Belly button in/out? It is still in, fight to stay in but still in. 

What I miss: I miss being able to do simple task like pick up a heavy box. 

What I am looking forward to: Getting my house unpacked!

Random Info: This past week seemed like it started forever ago. Last Sunday I was in Tulsa seeing my husbands side of the family. Then my wonderful Suegra (MIL) helped me drive, or drove the entire way, across the country to get to California. She was such a help this past week!!!! Getting my kitchen together Ded helping me unpack boxes and even moving around my couches. I don't know what I would have done without her here. I am so excited to be back in California because this is just one step closer to my husband coming home and for baby girl to be born! 

Enjoy a few pictures from this week!

Sleep? Sleep has been better. I can't wait until I can sleep in my own bed though. It has been a long 6 months apart!

His masterpiece is displayed on the third panel. Cheers!!!

Sleep? Does anyone ever wake up and feel like a car ran over your back?
Best moment last week? Ah that would be yesterdays party. My Mom got married over the summer and we finally had the reception yesterday. It was so awesome. Side note: I made the cake and it came out pretty awesome I think.

And let me just say he is absolutely the best brother anyone can ask for. Since we were little kids he has always been my best friend. He is just super awesome in everything he does. I am so proud of the way his life is going and I am so excited to see how it turns out. Right now he is on his way to becoming a professional drifter and has even started his own company called SlideLife. If you know anyone that is into cars they should check it out.

28 Weeks

Whoa where did week 27 go? Sorry guys I have been so very busy and the days are blending together that I totally missed doing last weeks blog ( I am even a couple days late with this one.)

How far along? 28 weeks
Weight gain: 33lbs, That would bring me up to 178. Which according to the midwife at my OB's office is way to much. Apparently I am only supposed to gain 15 pounds my entire pregnancy, at a max 20lbs. Yes you read correctly. 15 lbs. Now I know some women can do this but seriously I think that is a little crazy, this is not a one-size fits all deal. The midwife then began to tell me that if I wanted to eat a pancake it had to be around 3 inches in diameter, and I could only have one. Now I don't think I even eat that much but apparently I need to see a nutritionist because my eating is obviously "out of control." I smiled and accepted all the information she had to give me but the whole time I was thinking "seriously, I think each boob has gained 10 lbs."
Maternity clothes? Yes, I have reached the stage where that is all I really feel comfortable wearing.
Stretch marks?Nope. Which let me say was one of the things the midwife told me I would definitely have because of how much I have gained.
Sleep? Sleep has gotten better, but I still feel tired for most of the day
Best moment last week? Lets go with the last two weeks because I missed week 27th, but I would have to say my baby shower! It was so wonderful and I had so much fun!
Movement? She is such a little mover! I love it! I even saw her move on the outside. She jiggled my belly :)
Food cravings/ aversions ? I dunno, everything I eat isn't satisfying. I don't know what I want to eat!
Belly button in/out? It is a little weird looking
What I miss: I miss home, and in my case home is not a place. It is my husband. But I don't just miss him, I miss the feeling of really belonging somewhere and with him away I just don't have it.
What I am looking forward to: I am counting down the days until my other half comes home. It is so close in comparison to the beginning of this deployment but I still have a bit to go.

I also miss the ocean! I miss the five minute drive it takes to get to the beach. I miss taking walks on the sand with my pups. I miss how cheap produce is! Seriously I took it for granted. I found one of my receipts for groceries and for a thing of Romain Lettuce it is 79 cents! Cents!!! Here they are $1.50!!! can you believe that! And fruit here is so expensive!!! I only have a month and half till I am back :)

Why it must be a boy:

• Oh you haven't had morning sickness

Why it must be a girl: 

• My Huelita (grandma) had a dream it was girl and she is always right 
• You have a lot of hormones 
• The Chinese gender predictor says so 
• The heart beat was 150 
• While playing gender guessing games girl always won 

So what do you think it will be???

Just a quick photo of today, for 19.5 weeks.

  So today I decided to design my 20 weeks board, this is when I realized I completely forgot about 19 weeks! How could I have done that? Anyways here is the run down of what happened last week!

• I went to see the doctor for my monthly check -up, everything was perfect. I love hearing that little heart beat! 
• I have been feeling really awful lately, which is what I think contributed to me forgetting to post over the weekend. 
• Oh! The wives of my unit started a Fitness Challenge while our husbands are gone so we can get sexified for when they get home. So I am super excited about that.
• I've been doing lunges and squats for said Fitness Challenge and now my legs hurt like hell. Babe you better appreciate that! LOL
• This little bean has been moving around like an Olympic Gymnast. 

   As for what is going on this week, we are headed to Texas today for our family reunion!! I am so excited. I  had these awesome shirts made so that we can wear them on Saturday:

Sleep? Sleeping has been a little difficult :(
Best moment last week? Oh goodness! There were so many good things that happened this week but one of the best thing is that the little bean's movements are getting stronger :D
Movement? Yeppers!
Food cravings/ aversions ? Nothing new this week.
Belly button in/out? Still in.
What I miss: My husband. Deployments suck. Have I mentioned that before?
What I am looking forward to: UMMM I have a doctor's appointment this week!!!!
Random Info: Oh my! This week has been so busy!!!! Last Saturday we went fishing on a boat, I caught one fish. Then we celebrated Tubbs' and Tubbs Jr's Birthday. For Tubbs' birthday we went to an Illusionist show on base. OHMIGOSH it was awesome!!!! Then for Tubbs Jr's birthday we went to see the Blue Wahoos baseball game. AND the best part about those two were they were FREE. Oh I also got to check out the Naval Aviation Museum week and today we went to the beach. Let me just say California beaches have absolutely nothing on Florida beaches. Seriously I don't see what the big deal about California is. When I moved there I thought it was gonna be sunshine and warm weather all the time. WRONG! The water there is so cold I can't stand in it for more then a minutes with out my joints hurting. Anyways I hope you guys have a great day <3
