Weeks 35, 36 & 37

Lots of baby prep has been going on at the Lazor house.  That coupled with everyday responsibilities I am dreadfully behind on the weekly updates.  So they are all getting lumped together.

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: I weeks 35, 36 and 37

Size of baby: In week 37 he is a Watermelon (19 to 22 in, 6.5 lbs)

Maternity Cloths: Other than a few items, I am mostly wearing maternity cloths. Oh yeah and those maternity are not fitting so well any  more.  Wardrobe is getting very limited! 

Gender: It's a BOY!!!!

Movement: He is running out of room in there.  More pushing and stretching then kicks and jabs

What I miss: Sleep and being able to move with ease. (I don't think this is going to change at this point)

 

Cravings:Nothing new same things repeating. 

 

Symptoms:  Some swelling, reflux, lack of sleep.  Nothing out of the ordinary for as far along as I am.   And nothing honestly too terrible when you consider what some women go through.

Here is a pic of the bump in week 36 and 37.  Sadly it looks like I missed week 35 completely.  

 This is week 36 and was taken out our C-Bus baby party. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here we are in week 37!  

 

Had a doctors appointment yesterday 8/13/12.  2 cm dilated and 50% effaced.   I know you can't put much stock into those numbers but it was nice to know some kind of progress is being made.  

 

His room is just about ready, we have pictures to hang and the recliner needs to be added. But,  if he were to come today his room would be more than accommodating.   Over last week I made 18-20 meals that I have frozen in our deep freezer and gave the house a good once over as well.  I guess you could say nesting has kicked in! 

We celebrated Kevin's 33rd Birthday on Saturday 8/11/12 I am ashamed to say I didn't get a single picture of the Birthday boy.  It was pretty low key as far as birthdays go around here.  He golfed Sat and Sun.  We went to dinner at Ruth's Chirs Sat night for dinner, yum!  He got a few good gifts and we kept up with our tradition of baking each other our birthday cakes each year.  He requested yellow cake with chocolate frosting, which just so happens is my absolute favorite.  I think someone was being extra sweet to his very preo wife!

Well there is a little update as to what has been going on in our world lately.  Now back to waiting and waiting and waiting! haha!

 

 

 

 

34 weeks

Yep it's a week late.  Lot has been going on the past two weeks.  Hoping things will now be slowing down and I can work on getting caught up.  We had our family shower back home on 7/21/12 it was amazing and then had our friend shower/party this past weekend the 28th.   Hoping to do two big posts with lots of photos soon. Until then here are the stats from last week.

Gender: It's a BOY!!!!

Movement:  He is still rocking and rolling!

What I miss: Sleep and being able to move with ease.

 

Cravings: Back to 1st trimester cravings.  

Symptoms:  I've started swelling and unfortunately as predicted, the sciatica pain has returned.  

 

Funny story behind the weekly photos below.   Kevin was working out with a friend of ours and he asked how I was feeling.  Kevin replied I was doing good, getting big. Some how the conversation turned to me reminding them of the Kool-aid man.. (All in good fun of course)  Well Kevin then asked if he bought me a shirt would I wear it....I  said possibly (not knowing where this was going yet) well the shirt he thought was a "must have" is below.  I found it hilarious, as did he.   Let me just say this was ONLY funny because I am pregnant....if he ever tries this when I am not pregnant it will not be as funny!

Week 33 7/11-7-17

Cravings: Back to 1st trimester cravings.  Oranges and Mexican food.  Also had a MAJOR craving for wings and ice cream....both I have caved into.  Yum yum.

Our 1st baby shower is this weekend we are excited to see everyone.   Maybe this weeks Prego Highlights post won't be late and I can do a combo post.  But I wouldn't count on it! 

My photographer was back! Yay!  Kevin had been in D.C. for a week of training.  I am very happy to have him home!

This weeks bump pic is a classic in the mirror shot. 

This 4th of July holiday was started off by Kevin running his 1st race.  The freedom 4 miler.  

He ran it with our brother in law Jeff and they both did great, even in the heat.  I am very proud of them both!

Last little tid bit I want to be sure we document.  We finally got little mans crib up!! Now maybe I'll stop having dreams about him coming early and needing to sleep in a dresser drawer.  haha  I LOVE his bedding and can't wait to get the rest of the room together.

What I miss: Nothing this week.

Cravings: Nothing new here either

Symptoms: Overall this has been a nice and easy week.

We had a doctors appointment this morning.  This was our last monthly visit, moving to every two weeks now.  She said all looked good and was on track, even my weight gain.  I really wish I could embrace this accept of pregnancy more but I just hate seeing that scale go up and up and up.   I know it's for a good cause so I am learning to go with it.  Still under the 20lb gained mark....for now! hahah 

Here are a few pic for this week.  I took little man on his first boating trip with Aunt Jody and Uncle Jason.  It was a nice relaxing time on the lake with some of my favorite people. 

 

This next pic is actually from last weekend. Kevin and I went to the food truck fest aka heaven to a pregnant lady.   Hmmm I wonder why the scale is going up?! haha we had a so much fun sampling the different food.  We are going to make this boy a foodie for sure!

 And here are the 29 week bump pics.  Love the early morning "glow" aka puffiness haha.
