32 Weeks...

AND COUNTING!....

*Your baby's the size of a squash!
Still growing, your baby weighs in at about 2.5 to 3.8 pounds and measures about 15.2 to 16.7 inches.*
And oh man can i feel it, he seriously has no room in there poor kid. If I bend over or sit he starts to stretch and push to get more room!
He moves so much, they say "your baby is sleeping about 90-95% of the day" NO HE IS NOT...he probably sleeps like 65-70% of the day, but he sleeps really well all night so i hope thats something that he keeps when he is born!!
Yesterday I had BH contraction all day long one after another and through the night, even though they hurt I'm happy to know my body is getting read for the final leg of this baby growing race.

At my last Doc Apt my blood platelets where low and so i have to get those checked each month or every few weeks now just to be safe. I have gained 13 lbs so far and they say i should gain about 1 lb per week now until he is born.

Iam getting so excited for this little one to get here, im glad I'm finally starting to get that feeling since mostly during this pregnancy I have just been stress about a 3rd baby coming since we decided to wait and take care of other things first and then we got a HUGE SURPRISE that we were expecting #3.
His room is almost done...well not done but its being put together finally, Nick installed the closet, put together the new crib, i painted the dresser and changing table, made pillow covers to match his room and ordered all the rest of the baby things we had to get. Seeing his new little car seat sitting in his room and the crib really has made us realize there IS in fact a new baby coming to our house and SOON!

Its fun that I have 4 other friends who we are all with in 10 weeks of each other having our little babies together!!

Im so happy that i have been waking up feeling good finally, I would have to admit that my pregnancies are fairly easy and i shouldn't ever complain...I have not ever gotten Gestational diabetes, never been throwing up sick all through out the day and night only got that first thing in the morning, I have uncomplicated pregnancy (minus kaylin's, he was one we had to watch every week), I can pretty much eat anything with out getting sick, and i have a good amount of energy for the most part, now there are days i just feel like crap and i hurt yes but its not everyday and I'm thankful for that.

Nick said I'm getting whiny about all the pains and movement and discomforts but hey, its the least he can do to have to listen to me since I AM the one caring the baby and doing all the hard parts, his job was a cake walk compared to the job I have had to do. lol!

We are still trying to figure out his name, BOYS ARE HARD, at least for us they are. We have a few we like but are not set on any of them yet...kaylin LOVES the name Kyro and when i told him i wasnt sure about that name he ran off to his room crying because he said he wants to name the baby lol...sorry kaylin boy but your chance to name your own baby will come. Since nick and I both like names that are really different and uncommon it even harder to come up with something that we have not herd and then making it have to start with a K is even more crazy hard...so far we have come up with a few: Khairo, khailo, kaj, kierce....I love the name Khai...but nick doesnt want it to just be khai so we are trying to come up with a name that we can shorten to khai as well. Khailo is in the lead i think so far, i like it cause nick is the one that came up with it and its nice that he got to choose one of our kids names without me saying it first, kaylin and kiptin i am the one that came up with those. His middle name is also hard cause nick wants it to be some thing that is meaning full in our family's but we have already used all the important ones up, kiptin (poor kid) took two of those names because we were SURE that we were not going to have any more boys...so kiptin has two middle names...again sooo sorry kiptin dont know what we were thinking!

The other night I was lying in bed staring at the treadmill and that feeling of running came back to me...i cant wait to start running again...walking at 2 mph on the treadmill is just no fun at all, if i go any faster i start having lots of pains and contraction :(
I really hope in the next 5 to 6 weeks this little one will finally get sick of having no room and want to come out like his brother did...I have never been pregnant over 38 weeks, kiptin came right on 38 weeks so i hope hope hope this one is the same, my doc thinks between 37 and 38 he will come!

here are pictures of my 31 and 32 weeks...they dont really look any different to me so thats why im slacking on the picture taking!!

29/ 30 weeks....

The end is nearing, thankfully, I think. Iam a mess everyday now it seems like, with being so so so worn out and tired after the simplest tasks. By 4pm I am so done and just want it to be bed time. I cant sleep very well most nights with all the tossing and turning and bathroom trips I have to do. Bending over is a funny site Iam sure :) and getting up, well thats just ridiculous!!!
Mostly I feel good other then the tired but I am sure having two other BOYS to chase around all day doesnt help in that area. I still take my zofran in the mornings but I am able to only take just a sliver of one and it works great and during the day time and night I have never really been sick...just mornings thankfully!
We are getting closer I think to a name for this little guy, I am sure it wont be set in stone til we have him in our arms but at least we are finding some that we both like. He moves SO SO SO much, he is wild crazy child in there and nick says "seriously its like you have an alien taking over your body" well i kinda do...i have NO control over what is happening in there :)
We had another ultra sound to make sure he was still on track with growth, I was excited to get another chance to "maybe" see him and get a glance at what he looked like or what little features he had and who he looked more like....BUT NO..this little stink does NOT want to show us A THING about him, we still have no idea what he looks like not even a profile picture because he turns away EVERY SINGLE time, I guess it will just be a complete surprise when he is born cause we seriously know nothing of what he looks like, we could never get any 3D pictures of him cause he never would give us a 2D picture that would work in the 3D...that has been a bummer but i'm so excited to see him and it is A LITTLE bit fun that he will be a complete surprise!!
For the past few months I haven't felt like i was growing too much in size but i think my belly is now starting to pop out and look way more pregnant. I had my apt a few days ago and I still measure 4 weeks smaller then I am but He is measuring right on actually a few days bigger now then my due date. I have only gained 10 lbs so far but i'm sure the last 10 lbs or so will come in these next 8 weeks.
I have LOVED having my cheddar cheese ball with wheat thins and can seriously do major damage to that ball but its soooo yummy and a must have at all times in my house, that's really the only thing i have been craving...oh and ORANGES...I LOVE ME SOME ORANGES...i can eat those all day long..nick goes and buys them from the "orange man" and wow yummy.
With the last two pregnancies with the boys i was ALWAYS so hot, i never could cool off, i even froze nick out most nights and that's REALLY hard to do...but this time I am ALWAYS FREEZING...nick really wishes it was like the last two times and has been waiting for that to kick in but I tell him I think this time around he is out of luck and Im happy I can just add warm clothes instead of having to lay around in almost nothing because I was just dying of heat.

I have been working (finally) on his room, got it painted and i repainted the changing table and redid a dresser, I LOVE how they turned out, it made it more exciting for me this week to see those sitting in his room now, yesterday nick installed his closet so I can now wash all the clothes and hang those up, and that's always fun to see those cute TINY little clothes and most of them are from when kaylin was just born and remember how tiny he was and looking at him now is just crazy and they have so many memories in them that i just love looking at them!!

I'm excited to finish up his room and to get these next few weeks in the past and meet him and hold him. I'am praying for another birth like i had with kiptin..it was so amazing and such a great experience for nick and i both, so im praying all goes well and its just awesome like last time!

Here's to the next 8 or 9 weeks or maybe less!

Happy New Year 2013...and 28 Weeks....

This year we let the boys stay awake til midnight, not too tough for us still cause we are all running on hawaii time, the 3 hour delay in time is a rough one to get over. The boys played game and i worked on pictures til it was time to watch the ball drop then we opened up some sparkling cider and toasted to the new year and all the fun things that are coming our way. This morning kaylin came to me and "mom you didnt let us stay up til midnight for the new year" nick and i laughed and said "do you not remember watching the big ball drop on tv and the fire works out side??" he smiled and said "oh was that the new year" lol so silly. He has never stayed awake til this year so he wasnt quite sure what it was i guess!

While we were on vacation i didnt do anything online so i missed a few weeks of belly pic's, i tried to remember to take some in hawaii and the ones i did get, well they are from a 6 year old point of view and not the best and it was always when i was not ready for the day so dont judge cause if you do i wont care anyways!

Iam 28 weeks and 1 day today, Iam hoping for a 37 or 38 week delivery since the other two boys came that time. so the next 10 weeks are making me nervous...I am so afraid to have 3 kids and manage them and give all of them my equal time. Kiptin still is my little baby and Im not sure I was ready for another..He has stayed so little to me i guess cause i havent pushed him to grow up and do big kid stuff i guess..he is just going to be starting potty training and will be going to preschool in a few months.
I feel like i have not really grown much this past 5 or so weeks, and i have no idea how this little guy fits in there, i know he is there cause he is a pain in my side lol, he hits my sciatic nerve so many times each day and man is that painful and now he has ventured up into my ribs but instead of being IN my ribs he like to go ON TOP of them which doesnt feel the best either :) Iam hoping i dont pop out huge all the sudden cause really i want to get my pre baby body back as fast as i can so its not as hard to get it all off again!
He is such a mover now, i was worried for a few weeks because my doc wanted him moving 10 times in an hour one time a day and he was no where near that, maybe 10 movements total a day, but last weekend he upped his energy probably by sucking it out of me :)
he now moves WAY more then 10 times an hour each hour usually, he has about 20 to 30 naps where i finally have some peace from all the punching and kicking but I am also so happy to feel him move around in there and know that things are ok.
I go in for my apt tomorrow so we shall see how things are after that!

*again dont judge my photos :)
