Pregnancy Survey!

I found this little survey on another mama's blog and decided it'd be fun to do! I found another one for after the birth with more details on all of this. I thought it'd be nice to have this all written down in case someday I get around to printing this little blog out. Enjoy!

How far along? 37 Weeks, 3 Days

Total weight gain:About 45 lbs, yikes!

Maternity clothes? Definitely. Now I'm mainly in maternity shirts and either leggings, yoga pants, or maxi skirts.

Stretch marks? On my boobs, yes. Nothing on my big ol belly!

Sleep: Barely getting any at all now a days, and half the time it's not even in my own dang bed....

Best moment this week: This week? I have no clue!

Miss Anything? Handstands!!!! And being able to sleep or eat normal.

Movement: So much movement. He's definitely slowed down, moving out of room I assume, but he is still quite the turd.

Food cravings: Um, every once in a while, yes. Cosmic brownies, See's Candies, ICEE, Hot cheetos.... Basically nothing healthy at all :) I do love my fruits and veggies though!!!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Meat, oddly enough.. Chicken used to be the main component of my diet and now I really can't stand it very often. I definitely do not ever want to smell it cooking in the house....

Gender: Boy

Labor Signs: None really. About three contractions total over the last two or three weeks. He has definitely dropped, which is amazing for my ribs and back.

Symptoms: Lots of pelvic pain from homeboys noggin settling down there.

Belly Button in or out? Absolutely out, it's been out for months now. If it weren't so weird I would post a picture... Chris likes to call it a vienna sausage :(

Wedding rings on or off? On, it was way to big when we got it though. I just never saw a point in resizing it just yet.. So right now it FITS!

Happy or Moody most of the time: Most of the time, happy! I do have some moments I sort of snap. Little melt downs here and there.

Looking forward to: Meeting our tiny guy....!!!

Fun Little Prego Shoot


Heather and I decided we needed to get some pictures taken while we were both big enough to be noticeably prego, and since I don't have much time left it happened this week! We invited Halley, who became our amazing photographer, and we took a little trip to The Lakes in Tempe. It turned out so great and it was so much fun. Here are a few of the pictures :)
I love having a family that I enjoy spending time with! I feel so, so blessed to have my sisters and to be growing such a loving family of my own. I am 36 weeks in these pictures and with less than 4 weeks to go I am beyond ready to get this baby out and have my body back! Chris is starting to get anxious, but I think he will be such a sweet daddy to our handsome little guy.. and I can't wait to see it happen!!!

February of Love

This February was pretty eventful. I've been terrible about getting my camera out and documenting life, but I'm hoping I get better in the next few weeks so we can have tons of Baby Ev pictures :)
So, this February we had a get together at my uncles land. I love getting to see the Adams side of my family, it doesn't happen a ton, but they are quite a hoot. My dad and Uncle Claude had a blasty blast making jokes at my expense. I didn't cry though!
The 11th was Mr. Preston Baker's birthday. He is a whopping 3 years old and he sure does act like a grown up. He has gotten so funny, even in the short year and a half that I've gotten to know him. I love that he can now say HAN-NAH, but I will for sure be missing the sweet and goofy NANNA :)
On the 18th we had my baby shower. We did a cute bow tie theme with a gray and orange color scheme. My sisters and mama are amazing, the whole thing turned out SO cute and so fun. I'm so grateful to have such an amazing family and friends who have supported me in this great chapter of life.
The 22nd was my nephew Blaze's first birthday, and the 25th was my oldest sister Nicole's! We had a fun little spa night and dinner on Nicole's birthday with some of the sisters and our mommy. Then the following Sunday we had a lovely dinner of a whole roasted pig for Blaze's birthday. It was all so much fun. Playing with all the babies is such a hoot. Even our little Nephi was able to come and enjoy the party. She found the chicken pen pretty quickly and was going nuts trying to get to them. I let her in once and the little devil had a chicken pinned within 3 seconds of me opening the gate! It was crazy and I almost peed myself laughing at her.
