29 weeks

Wed Aug 28th is 29 weeks.

 

I went to my appointment that day and everything was great. I had lost a few pounds, but had gotten sick about a week before. I didn't eat for a few days, but tried.

 

I also had gained a few between 20-25 weeks, so Dr Mos said it evened out somewhat.

 

I am at 20 pounds which is good thinking I only have 11 weeks left. If I can stay within those 10 pounds, I will be around the same amount of weight gain that I was with Ryan.

 

I am measuring (my belly) 31 weeks. The Dr said the baby could have had a growth spurt, which is normal. I will have another sonogram at 35 weeks. I will see at that point where Lillian is and how she is measuring.

 

Dr Mos is going to go ahead and schedule the C section for Nov 6th. So if everything goes as plans and Lillian stays put until I want her to come out (which Ryan was a good listener and did what I asked), then we will have our little girl November 6, 2013.

 

I feel good, but yes tired and have swollen feet. Last appointment, they were pretty bad. I do try and keep them up when I am at home and when I am watching tv in bed. I don't want to have to be on bed rest. Oh and my blood pressure is good. 118/64

 

So all in all, everything is going well. I just can't wait to meet her, but I will be patient.

 

 



Pre-k!!!

 

Ryan is in Pre-k A. She is with her friends Ari and Fiona. Brendan however is across the hall in Pre-K B. I think it will be ok though b/c they will combine some of the classes and do things together and will get to see each other.

First morning of the first day of Pre-K

 

After school first day of Pre-K

 

Still Smiling~

That's my girl!

 

Class Picture day. She wanted to pose with the flowers.

 

 

And.....there it is. Her silly pose. Looks more like sassy....but she was being silly. Love this girl.

 



Ryan being her silly self

Backwards day at school.

 

After I took the picture she said "Mommy, look I was smiling when you took my picture from the back."

 

 

 

 

Of course there has to be a goofy picture after the serious one. It IS a thing she HAS to do.

 

Sweet girl...

 

"Wear your favorite sport t-shirt day"

 

Side pony....and yes, her daddy is getting good at that.



Bronwyn and Cooper bday party

Both Bronwyn and Cooper wanted a pool party and since Heather's in laws had a pool, it worked out. They had a combo party with family and friends. I took a lot of pictures, but some action and some of the adults.

 

I didn't get many of B b/c she was with her girl friends and you can see the beginning of her teen years come out even before she is 10. She and her friends gathered on the opposite side of the pool to eat and were swimming together like mermaids.

 

Cooper, Ryan and the little cousins hung out together. Oh, and Dylan was doing his "flirting" thing by hanging with the chicks.:)

Watermelon!!!

 

Give this girl any fruit and she will eat it.

 

How about some watermelon?

 

We knew something was up when we heard a giggle come from the kitchen. We see her walk into the living room carrying the huge part of the watermelon that was left to be cut up. Ryan took it upon herself to just go at it. What a ham!

 



Continued vacation pictures....

At the reunion I only got a few pictures as I started to not feel good. It was cold (64 ish degrees) and I started getting a cold.

 

Gran Gran, her sister Aunt Marie and Ryan. Oh and Becky photo bombing in the background.

"Mommy, take my picture really close up."

 

 

The trip was a trip for sure.....but a very nice one. I loved seeing all of the family and getting away for a few weeks. I am looking forward to 2015, but maybe flying that time.



Trip to WI

 

I am trying to send myself all my pictures, but it seems to be taking some time. I will post what I have and more soon.

 

Ryan wanted to pack her own stuff. She takes a new toy that has never been opened, threw it in my suitcase, and said "I'm packed momma. Now it would fit if you didn't have your clothes in there."

The thoughts of a 4 year old.

 

 

 

To little to late. Don't ya think?

 

 

Adams at the cheese factory. We got to watch them make cheese. Phillip said he really enjoyed that.

I will have to post more pictures as they come through. I have tried to send them multiple times.

 

 

 



Where does the time go?

I haven't blogged in a few weeks.

 

We left for WI on July 20th and got back on the 29th. It was a great trip. The driving was long, but other than that we all had a great time.

 

Since the last time I checked in, I was 22 weeks. I am now 26 weeks and counting. Lillian moves all the time. She has her most active time at night, however today she has been a movin' and a groovin'.

 

I took my gestational diabetes test and it came back normal. I do not have to prick my finger or keep track of things. Of course I will watch what I eat more b/c she grows at a faster pace and I don't want to blow up more than I already have.

 

After the trip (not during) my feet have started to stay swollen. I do think it's the heat, but on the trip I had them up in the van for 2 days straight driving there and back.

 

23 weeks

 

24 weeks

 

25 weeks

26 weeks

 



 

I am feeling great, besides my feet. I am getting more tired in the evenings, but it's probably b/c I do too much. I do like to do things after I pick up Ryan, but need to start staying home more.

 

Ryan is getting more excited with her sister. She isn't that interested in feeling her, but will play with her dolls and role play as if she was a sister already. I can not wait for Ryan to meet Lillian.
