Kourtney's BIG girl Room!

We have been working hard the last few months trying to get Kourtney moved from her room to her  new BIG girl room. We painted, got new curtains, a new toddler bed, hung pictures, moved her cherry blossom tree and set up her fish tank. In the end of the day it all came together and I am happy with how it turned out. :)

Now I just have to figure out how to keep her toy picked up! Ha!


Daddy painting!

Cleaning out our gym/office/guest room was more then half the battle. We had a lot in this room. It actually was a great was for us to donate a bunch of things we didn't use to Goodwill and to other friends who might be able to better use them.

Spray Painting Clean Up!

I am not usually a spray painter but I have been working on some new lamps for Kourtney's "big girl" room and now I know how hard it is to get spray paint off of your skin. So first off.... I recommend using gloves. But, if you forget to and get in on your skin or hair the best way I found to get it off is vegetable oil. Weird I know but it sure works so I thought I would share since I know a lot of you like to try new projects!

Week 36!

How far along:

36 weeks!

 

 

Your Baby in Week 36 of Pregnancy:

"Forget your aching back (and everything else!) by trying to focus on your baby, who is now about six pounds and 20 inches long, with soft bones and cartilage to allow a safer journey through the exit door. Most of her systems (from circulatory to musculoskeletal) are ready for prime time, though her digestion system — which has done only practice runs so far — will kick into gear as she takes her first suckle at the breast or bottle."

Total weight gain/loss: 

I'm at about 28 pounds right now. I lost two pounds this week but I really think last week I just had a lot to eat before I weighed in.

 

Names:

Waiting on Kourtney..... tick tock baby girl. Daddy's waiting!

Regular clothes or Maternity:

Still a good mix. Not that it matters since I either wear my gym clothes or sweats most of the time anyway :)

Stretch marks:

I'll go with no but I'm stretching so fast right now I am just trying to stay hydrated and lotioned!

Sleep:

Last week I got no sleep but this week I think I have been so tired I think I haven't even been waking up to go to the bathroom. Sleep = Like a rock!

Fitness:

Keeping up although I am definitely slowing down. I am no longer running and have stopped all workouts that require me to lay on my back at all even relaxation after yoga.  

Miss Anything:

Is it so sad that I am looking forward to new cute workout clothes? Ha! I am also looking forward to walking without this really cute pregnancy waddle.

Baby Movement:

All the time this little boy wants out. I feel like hes taking up the whole space in my big round hard belly so every little movement feels like a massive kick or punch. Not really uncomfortable though unless I have just eaten more then my fair share. (Which I do do more often then I should)

Anything making you queasy or sick:

Not really. Just when I over eat.

Cravings:

Pizza & Sushi!

Labor Signs:

I think I have been having a few Braxton Hicks contractions but I am not 100% sure if that's what they are or if it's just some cramping....I never felt any contractions with Kourtney until I was at the hospital mind everyday l so....it

Most excited about after baby:

Holding that sweet little boy!

Belly Button in or out?

Is flat an option? It isn't "in" or "out" at this point ... it really looks flat.

Wedding rings on or off?

On.... but by the end of the day I am getting REALLY swollen. I expected this though since I got really swollen with Kourtney.

Mood:

I am really emotional this pregnancy where I feel like I could cry all the time over the dumbest things. It is so weird especially for me since I am not usually someone who crys a lot. I also feel like I get angry so fast. Silly hormones to blame for the roller coaster I am sure!

Loving being pregnant:

Yes. It blows my mind everyday that I am growing a little boy in my belly! Feeling this baby inside my belly is truly the most amazing thing.

Week 34 ---- Final 6 week countdown begins!

How far along: I am currently 34 weeks! Yay! 5 weeks and 6 days to go!



BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 AND BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had to post a few in this blue workout top because when I go back and look at the pictures from the beginning it will be easier to compare!

Your Baby in Week 34 of Pregnancy: Baby is about 5lbs and about 19-20 inches long by week 34! Crazy!

Total weight gain/loss: 30lbs! Whoot Whoot! Pregnant in full force!!! Hello baby!!!!

Names: ............We have it narrowed down to a top three I think so we should be wrapping up this name game soon :)

Regular clothes or Maternity: Mostly maternity jeans and leggings with regular but bigger tops :) I feel lucky that they have so many "maternity appropriate" styles in the regular clothes sections. It really helps me feel more normal especially as I get larger!

Stretch marks: Not yet.

Sleep: Doing OK as long as I get to bed a a decent time. I feel like we have been so busy we have been staying up way later then we usually do and so I end up getting less sleep. Which is why my sleep hasn't been great. However the short hours I am getting in are surprisingly effective!

Fitness: Man! I'm still going like a champ and I feel soooo good. I am getting more and more tired but the boost of energy I do get from working out I feel like really helps me stay in a great mood and that is really important to me this time around. So although there are so many benefits of working out at this point my main goal is to be happy. Especially since many of you know I battled some baby blues after Kourtney, I hope to be able to avoid them this time around! I also hope staying so active and allowing myself enough "me" time everyday will help me stay healthy both physically and mentally!

I went to the gym last week and tried a spin class.... well verdict is I am way to prego to take spin. LOL

I went this morning and thought I was going to take BodyVive.... but I read the class schedule wrong and it was Step!!!! Ha so I took it for 45min and yeah it's a great class but I might need to wait until after the baby is out to take that again! Whew!!!!

I have not been "running" at all. I can jog (waddle) but I kinda feel ridicules doing it especially at the gym!!!!
  

Miss Anything: Cute clothes..... :/ Maternity stuff is so blah and gross! I can't wait to get new workout clothes and some new skirts for summer!

Baby Movement: Lots & Lots!!!! This baby is ready to come out I am sure of it! He moves all around and it is so amazing!!!! My Dr. said yesterday at my appointment that he is head down already and his heartbeat is in the low 150's! So healthy and ready to go!

Anything making you queasy or sick: When I eat to much especially in the afternoon/evening....

Labor Signs: I think I have been having a few Braxton Hicks contractions but I am not 100% sure if that's what they are or if it's just some cramping....I never felt any contractions with Kourtney until I was at the hospital so....it's hard for me to know!

 Most excited about after baby: Working on my fitness and getting back into regular clothes :) Oh and being able to tie my shoes.... I have gone to slip-ons (Love my TOMS) and flips for now.

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On.... but by the end of the day I am getting pretty swollen.

Mood: Emotional roller coaster should sum it up perfect. I feel like crying way more this pregnancy then I did with Kourtney. Really feel like a wack-a-doo some days!
 
Loving being pregnant: I hope my post didn't make it seem like I don't love it but I really do. All the up's and down's are all worth it in the end!

A few oldies but goodies!

I found a few old pictures of Kourtney from when she had her 18mo old pictures taken so I thought I would share. It's crazy to see how much in just a few months she has changed.

Thanks Bekki for such great pictures of my sweet baby girl!

Week 33

Week 33 & 2 days!  


Bam! There is my big belly!!!!! :)

Our 25 Month Old Baby Girl!

Kourtney's Update!

Food: Oatmeal, Yogurt, and Cheese.

Toys: Baby dolls, books, and her play kitchen.

Color: Blue

Places to hide: Behind a closed door.... or behind dad's side of the bed.

Activity: Running around, dancing, coloring, and getting tickled.

Sleep Pattern: She goes to bed most nights around 8pm and will sleep until after 8am if I let her but I have started waking her up at 7am so that she will take a nap. I have found that she is trying to give up her nap if she sleeps past 7am. She usually makes it the whole day without a nap unless I take her in the car after 4, then she falls asleep in the car, gets a bad nap, and wakes up really cranky...plus has a hard time going to sleep at 8pm. So the waking her up a little early is worth it for now. That way she gets a good nap and goes to bed on time. No fuss. :)

Activity: Running, dancing, climbing, jumping...all in full effect! She is one full of life and ready to go toddler!

Eating: She has seemed to hit a picky stage where she only like to eat a few select foods but I have heard she will grow out of it so for now as long as she's eating I'm happy.

Books: Any books really. She loves getting read to!

Teeth Brushing: Teeth brushing and flossing every night before bed. :) She doesn't love us doing it for her but we do first and then let her go at it. She loves doing anything all by herself and it isn't any different when it comes to brushing and flossing!
