37 weeks!

Ok Baby B....it's time to come out now.

As in...NOW! Anytime would be good for me. 

Tonight...in an hour...a minute...a second....Come out!

OK you can stay in there as long as you need to but really I would love it if you came soon :) 

We are at week 37 and everything is ready for baby to come. 

We have all our essentials ready to go. Now it's just a waiting game. 

To anyone reading this, pregnancy is not as bad as I thought. 

  But at the same time, I would LOVE for it to be over. Every day I tell the baby that she can come :) Sometimes I even order her to come out. haha...Weird, I know. I am getting impatient and uncomfortable. Also, tired of working...unless she comes early I have exactly 9 more days to work! WAHOO!!! I am so excited to be done. But most importantly, I am excited for my new job. Being a mom. I have waited for this day my whole life and it's finally getting close. Sometimes I am so happy! 

Also, I am terrified. 

What if I'm not the mom that I want to be? 

I guess everyone gets scared at some point and especially at the beginning. I am so happy and blessed to have Danny to support and help me through this new stage in our lives :) 

It will also be nice to have family close by in case I need my own mommy to help me through this :) 

Brooklyn, we can't wait for you to be here! 

Warning...lots of Pinterest Inspired crafts...not professional but I had fun :) 

O big belly...

Beccah, These are the headbands I made that I wanted to show you! 

33 Weeks!!!

I can't believe how far along I am now!

It's crazy to think that in about a month and a half we'll have our own little person :) 

I feel like the pregnancy has gone by pretty quickly but sometimes I feel like the end will never come. 

Thank goodness we are on the downhill side of things. 

As far as pregnancy symptoms go I am doing pretty well. 

Since little Baby B is getting bigger my tummy ends up being uncomfortable all the time. Especially sitting up in a chair cuz it squishes her even deeper into my rib cage ( or so it seems). The past month or so she has found a favorite spot to be but unfortunately it is not my favorite spot for her to be. She likes to be in my ribs on my right side. This is very uncomfortable and a lot of times leads to her laying on my vena cava and putting the right side of my body to sleep or just making it super hard to breathe at times. 

One of the most annoying things is that I have one option for sleep. My left side. 

I have also recently been waking up about 4 times a night having to stumble into the bathroom. And let me tell you, getting out of bed is not very fun as it is but especially at 33 weeks pregnant, in the middle of the night, and when the left half of my body doesn't function because it has fallen asleep from being laid on constantly. 

33 weeks

Enough about pregnancy....

So the holidays were really fun this year. We got to spend time with both families but it was kinda crazy and felt rushed with both. But at least we got to see them :) 

We also went on a date to a hockey game for New Years Eve. It was a lot of fun. We got to sit in the front row right against the glass. The action was right by us the whole game almost! Danny had been whining about wanting to go to a game forever but he always had to work when they played or I had to work the next day so I was sneaky and got some tickets for his Christmas present. It was a lot of fun. 

I have been super busy the past couple of weeks after the break. I had a 2 week sub job in a 6th grade classroom( my least favorite grade to teach). I hate middle school! It is not fun. The kids are so misbehaved all the time and don't have any respect for anyone. It is ridiculous. On top of the bad behavior I had to plan the lessons myself based on an outline of what needed to be covered. By the end of those 2 weeks I was so exhausted! Luckily I get a 4 day weekend to rest before it's back to more subbing. 

Danny decided to take the quarter from school off because for some reason he got dropped from financial aid and we don't have $2000 just laying around especially with the baby on the way soon. So he is currently in the process of looking for a second job to be able to get some extra money when I stop working and have the baby. So keep your fingers crossed and keep him in your prayers so he can find something that will work for him right now and help out our little family that is about to get a tad bit more expensive. 

27 Weeks

So I'm now 27 Weeks along and my belly feels huge and looks huge. 

I have started sleeping less and less due to being uncomfortable. 

I have also started having really bad back pain. 

Baby seems to always be stretched out diagonally across my stomach. 

To sum it up...I am UNCOMFORTABLE!!!

It just barely hit this week. Before that I was feeling fine all the time and didn't know why people kept asking me if I was feeling uncomfortable yet. Now I know and I also know that it is just going to keep on getting worse and worse. But, in the end we will have a sweet little baby girl, which will make this all worth it. 

Only 13 weeks left! It's crazy how slow time seems sometimes and then how fast it seems at others. 

I can't wait for baby to be here with us, but at the same time we have a ton to get ready for still! 

On a completely different note we put up all our Christmas decorations this week and got our tree! It's a little smaller than I am used to but it was like half the price of the bigger ones so we decided we'd better save some money where we can :) We like it though. It's a pretty fat little tree but it's nice because it is bushy and full. We are busy busy right now. Danny is finishing up his classes and getting ready for finals next week! 

I am still subbing every day and running to different schools all the time. It is totally wearing me out. 

All in all, life is great and we are having a lot of fun even with being busy. 

We got to see both families for Thanksgiving so that was nice. It's nice that they are both pretty close to each other so that even when we move a little ways away we will still be able to see everyone for holidays :) 

Well, that's about it for now!

Sugar Baby!!!

Baby B is addicted to sugar...

I like me some sweets but baby seems to love them.

The only thing I ever really crave are sweet things. 

I made Danny buy me some See's Chocolates the other day because they looked way too good and I didn't even care that they were so expensive or that my mom will be making almost that exact candy in about a month. 

Baby is super hyper and moving all the time now. 

We can see her little kicks and karate chops through my clothes now!

It's so crazy to think that there is a little person inside of me punching me and prodding me all day. Sometimes she just keeps on kicking over and over and over again without stopping for like 20 seconds. 

It's so exciting to me. I love it when she moves at work because it makes me feel like a have a secret only between me and her. The kids have no idea what is going on inside of my tummy. It's probably the thing  that I'll miss most about being pregnant. No one can tell when it is happening unless I mention something.

 At least for now, but when she starts getting bigger and bigger it'll probably become easier to see what is happening and maybe people will even be able to see her little feet and know that I am receiving a huge kick! I wouldn't put it past her. She is soooooo squirmy. I love it :) 

24 Weeks!!!

Wow time is flying!!!!

This is just a quick update on things. 

I am subbing every day now and it is exhausting but has its moments that make it worthwhile. 

Yesterday I subbed in a kindergarten class and they were so sweet and cute with lots of hugs and stories.

Today I subbed in 2nd grade and a girl gave me 2 roses and another one drew me a heart and it said for Mrs. Mears on it. 

They are so much fun and so precious. It makes me miss my little ones at Spectrum. 

Okay now onto baby talk. So baby has lately decided that her favorite place to kick/punch/jump on...is my bladder. 

This is not the best thing being a teacher. There is just no time to go to the bathroom! Luckily today I had a para in my class for a little bit and was able to run out of the room before I had an accident. I'm serious...some days I feel like I am near death by embarrassment from wetting my pants. Luckily I haven't done so yet. There is always the chance though so don't be surprised if my next post is about having an accident at school. 

So here is the baby bump at 24 weeks! 

O...and here is mine :)

23 Weeks

23 Weeks!

So this morning I woke up and it was just another day...

I went to school and was subbing at a school that I sub at every other week. 

But today was different everyone was asking me if I was having a baby. 

You think they would've noticed before since I just subbed there 2 weeks ago. 

All day I kept on getting asked about it and I was wondering if I must look more pregnant now or something. 

So Then I really looked in the mirror with a critical eye. 

And THIS is what I saw! 

So I decided that today was NOT just another day. 

Today was the day that my pregnant belly popped out to the beginning of its hugeness.

I am only like 5 months pregnant! I still have 4 months to go until Baby B is here. 

I can only imagine how gigantic my belly will be by then! 

On the bright side, I look pregnant now and not just super...you know.

Pinterest

So I love Pinterest...

I love looking at baby stuff, recipes, tips for cleaning...

but most of all CRAFTS!!!!

I found this on pinterest....  but it was a super expensive etsy item

So I decided I could free hand it 

I'm pretty happy with how it turned out

I'm really excited to start making some baby crafts as well!
