Blakely-4D Ultrasound

I had my 4D ultrasound done today.  We debated on doing this again but I just wanted to double check things so that there aren't any surprises when she is born.  All measurements and markers looked normal and healthy!

Of course she has a big head like Boston!  Her head measures at 35 weeks and the rest of her body around 31, 32 weeks.

She was very lazy today and kept her arm over her face or up around her face most of the time!

She already has chubby cheeks and weighs 4.1lbs.

I think she looks just like Boston did in his 4D, but maybe they all look the same, ha!

thumb sucker

and yes we did confirm that she is in fact a SHE :)

32.5 weeks

Boston and I sort of matched going to church today, so I had to take a pic!

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 32.5 weeks

Total Weight Gain: 13lbs (down a pound at Dr appt) pretty sure Ive gained it back plus some since then!

Maternity Clothes: yes

Gender: GIRL-BLAKELY GRAY BURTON

Movement: Very active, way more than I remember Boston being!

Sleep: not well, have severe back and hip pain

What I miss: breathing, Margaritas on a patio, a glass of wine with the girls, bending over comfortably

Cravings: It's been too hot here to crave food. I just want cold stuff and sweets! Ice cream, shaved ice, etc.

I hope my sweet tooth goes away after she is born!

Symptoms: I feel like she is literally under my chin!  She is so high and I'm short of breath and have heartburn.  I also have severe low back pain and pain in my right hip.  Dr is sending me to PT this week so I'm hoping it helps!  I dont remember having this pain with Boston, especially this bad! I'm literally in tears some times.

The Dr did mention that I am measuring right on track with the 13th.  I always measured 2-3 weeks behind with Boston, but at this point I had gained more weight with him.  I wonder if that means she will be bigger than Boston when he was born?!?  I'm hoping not significantly. 

Its weird, because looking back at photos, I was about this big or a little bigger at the very end with him!

I am getting a 4D ultrasound done this week so we will see how big she is!

 

B and G

We have spent lots of time with Amanda and Georgia lately.  B loves G so much!  He talks about her all the time!  Georgia has every dress up outfit you can imagine and its so funny to see what they come out with next.

I stole these from Amanda's blog. She calls them Bonnie and Clyde :)

G dressed him up like a princess the other night!  I'm sure daddy is so proud!

excuse the bad iphone pic

These pics make for great blackmail when he gets older, lol! Just kidding.



31.5 weeks and bedding

(The ladies at work say "I'm blossoming" in other words, getting huge!)
Dresses seem to make me look 10 months pregnant, but they are the most comfortable, especially in this heat!



Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 31.5 weeks

Total Weight Gain: 14lbs

Maternity Clothes: yes

Gender: GIRL-BLAKELY GRAY BURTON

Movement: Very active, she's running out of room already and some of her movements are very painful!  She loves to kick my ribs!

Sleep: not well, can't get comfortable b/c my right hip hurts.  Boston has also been waking up and getting in our bed in the middle of the night. I'm also making frequent bathroom trips again!

What I miss: Margaritas on a patio, a glass of wine with the girls, bending over comfortably

Cravings: It's been too hot here to crave food. I just want cold stuff! Ice cream, shaved ice, etc.

Symptoms: Energy-none, Motivation-none.
I go to the Dr on Wednesday.  She says I'm still on track for Aug 13th, but I have a feeling she will come a little early.
 
I really need one of those sticks with a claw at the end of it!  I feel like all I do is bend over all day to pick up toys and clean up, ha!  Boston has become real demanding of me.  He doesn't want (or wont let) Kyle get or do anything for him, therefore I'm exhausted all the time.  Kyle has been in Hondouras for a week so its been crazy around the house.  I have also had problems with nap time and bed time for the past couple of weeks.  I literally cannot get him to take a nap!  I'm getting so tired of arguing with him about it.  Bedtime has been taking at least an hour every night and that doesn't count bath time! Ever since we took the paci away he has not been interested in sleep.  Any tips??? No naptime and later bedtime means no mommy time for painting, blogging, or anything else that needs to be done for that matter.  He requires 100% of my attention.
 
Here is a photo of Blake's bedding! I will get it on Wednesday and can't wait to see it in the room!
 

I still need to get a chandelier and some sort of furniture (bookshelf, chair, etc) to go on one side of the room.  I also need to decide on curtains!  I'm pretty sure she won't have anything on her walls for awhile. I've been too busy painting for other people.  At this point, i'm ready for someone (anyone) to come in and just finish it all! I just need a few clones of myself, ha!  We still have all of the baby stuff in the attic that needs to be brought down and cleaned as well!

I'm really trying to savor every moment with B now, its just getting hard because I'm so tired and he has so much energy!  I hope I don't sound like a big complainer, I'm trying to keep it to a minimum.  :)

I know this is my last pregnancy and I'm trying really hard to enjoy as much as i can!  I'm so blessed to have made it this far!
