My Work Shower

I know I still need to show everyone pictures from my big shower that my sister hosted, it is coming. But until then...

My work shower was so much fun. The two ladies that hosted it are going to be the two people that I will miss the most while I am away. Caleb was spoiled again with so many wonderful goodies, and the best part was they collected enough money that Gable and I could get our car seat (I have been told this is importantJ), stroller, the extra car seat adaptor, and the stroller accessories. That was such a blessing to have received that gift.

Regina and Carolyn the wonderful hosts

 The best card I have ever seen. My girlfriend Jasmine gave this to me with a matching pair of frocks (fake crocks... to match Gable's). I couldn't stop laughing!!!

The Push Present… need ideas!!!

With my husband’s job he is fully aware of what this is. He has also told one of my closest friends that he has already got it for me. I can’t wait to see what he has picked out!

I know that Gable is going to be an amazing coach during the delivery! He has this gentleness and strength that will help me get through it. So I would like to get him a coach (man’s version of the push present) gift. I just don’t know what I want to get him. He only wears his wedding band, a live strong bracelet, and his watch every day. The boy will NOT wear a necklace or bracelet, so jewelry is out. He loves playing guitar, but a new guitar is out of the price range. I am clueless on what to get him! I could really use some help ladies!!! Price range $50 - $100, think creatively and a little practical.

25 Weeks!

How far along? 25 Weeks

Total weight gain: a grand total of 8 pounds

Maternity clothes? Getting there… in this picture I am wearing my regular clothes, but they are getting a bit to tight.

Stretch marks? Just one, really hoping my Lush body butter keeps the rest of them away!

Sleep: Using the restroom about 3 times during the night. That is starting to get very annoying and I can’t fall back asleep quickly after that.

Best moment this week: Gable and I laid on the bed for about 30 minutes watching the belly move. It was so weird and amazing all put together.

Miss Anything? I could eat about 5 Cooney Island Chili Dogs right now!

Movement: He loves Dave Matthews Band Music. Whenever that is playing I can feel him moving.

Food cravings: Oatmeal, and cherry slushy’s.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Thankfully nothing anymore.

Gender: It’s a BOY!!! I am so excited. He is going to be so dapper and handsome.

Labor Signs: No

Symptoms: overall feeling pretty great, but if I don’t eat every two hours I start getting nauseas

Belly Button in or out? In, and actually hoping for an out.

Wedding rings on or off? on

Happy or Moody most of the time: Very Happy, and I have a calmness going on to.

Looking forward to: Pool Day this Saturday, baby and I are going to soak up some rays!

24 Weeks

I am slacking on weekly photos. Hopefully now that we are all moved in we will remember to take them every week.

How far along? 24 Weeks

Maternity clothes? Not completely. My mother in law bought me some dresses and a pair of jeans. I can still wear most of my dresses.

Stretch marks? Just one, Really hoping my Lush body butter keeps the rest of them away!

Sleep: I am starting to get a little uncomfortable at times, but for the most part I am sleeping pretty good.

Best moment this week: During our move my brother in law put up the crib in Baby G’s new bedroom. It makes it so real now.

Miss Anything? During our pool days I was wanting a margarita, so my sister bought me some virgin margarita mix. Yummy!

Movement: He is a very calm baby for the most part. But when he is up, he lets me know. Food cravings: Childhood food. Gable laughs at my lunches these days. PB&J, sliced fruit, cheese sick and applesauce. And for my breakfast I am loving me some Lucky Charms!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Thankfully nothing anymore.

Holy Heart Burn!

I love me some spicy food, to the point I will make my stomach go incomplete knots. Just for the yummy taste. With that said I have been warned by many mommas that you can get some serious heart burn while being pregnant.

Because I know everything… that could never happen to me. I have never had heart burn before and nothing is bothering me this far in my pregnancy.

So today I was feeling like some buffalo! Tropical Smoothie here I came. With my normal order in hand I was enjoying a very yummy buffalo chicken wrap with extra buffalo sauce on the side.

Thank the LORD I eat very small portions during the day! About 15 minutes after eating the first half of my wrap I thought I was dying!!! What is this horrible feeling. I called my hubby and he explained that I was having heart burn. OMWord how do people deal with this on a daily basis?!?!?! Then my so so sweet hubby tells me to look in my purse and take the Tums that he bought me a couple of weeks age, just in case I needed them. I think after 5 years of marriage he understands that I don’t really know it all.
So thanks to my handsome hubby I am feeling so much better. But I am now sad that I must say good bye to hot sauce. Please have a moment in silence I remember all the yummy times we had together!
