3rd Trimester- SAY WHAT



Tiger Tuesday- 28 weeks




My Bump Looks bigger in this one:)



This weekend, I did not do much.  I had a sore throat Saturday when I woke up so I ended up napping and laying around all day.  Sunday, I went to church and a wedding shower for my husband’s brother’s fiancé. They are getting married this November.  It was fun seeing Trav’s family.  This week has been just busy with more school stuff. I also had my glucose test, which I failed. LOL. I laugh because I am not surprised at all. I missed it by one point.  You need to be under 140 and I scored 140.  The nurse said it was probably something I ate for lunch.  Looking back on it, that day I ate honey and peanut butter banana sandwich for lunch and sugary cereal for breakfast and yogurt and fruit. So only sugar all day.  Me not being very smart did not even think about eating something besides sugar on the day I got my glucose test.  Now I have to take the three hour test this Saturday. What a long time to spend at the clinic.  All worth it to make sure I am taking care of the baby.   I have also realized I should probably not eat so much sugar in a day and should eat more veggies.  So it is probably a good thing I failed the first time around.   

Also last weekend we ended up not getting our in floor heating, but we are getting it done this weekend and I CANT WAITJ  Our house is getting chilly and now I will have an excuse to warm up the house and try out the new in floor heatingJ

27 Weeks and Rockin the Baby Bump



No Makeup- But a good picture of the growing bump




I think I am carrying high

What a week. Still working long hours getting my classroom up and running.  Next year will be so much better when I have an idea of what stuff I need for my classroom.  I will also be able to drink lots of coffee which helps me work like a machineJ   This last weekend we registered for baby items and we had a ton of fun.  We found lots of cute things for little baby H.  I cant wait to me the little boy or girl.  As for this week at school we had a field trip on Tuesday.  Wufta. Field trips in third grade are lots of work and it wore me out.   Still tired out today, but tomorrow is FRIDAY.  As for nights I have not been very productive, I get pretty sleepy and don’t do much.

Miss Anything:  Some days I miss being normal, but being pregnant is so worth every second.  

Movement: Yes, I am pretty sure baby H does crazy stuff in there. I can feel it moving all over. 

Food cravings:  I have had no crazy cravings this week.  I did purchase some Halloween Oreo’s which did not last long at our house.    

Anything making you queasy or sick:  We had a field trip on Tuesday and I sat in the last seat of the bus and after our 40 minute bus ride I did not feel the best.  On the way home I got to sit in the front seatJ    

Have you started to show yet? Yes, the bump is popping.     

Gender: Two more predictions it is a little boy.

Happy or Moody most of the time: Content-      

Looking forward to: Tuesday is my 28 week appointment. I can’t believe I will be in the third trimester and only have 12 weeks left.  I also cant wait to hear the baby’s heartbeat again.  I am also looking forward to October.  It might be one of my favorite months.  I think I need to plan a trip to an apple orchard.  I have also been looking at some cute maternity tops for HalloweenJ       



26 Weeks:)

Side Belly Shot



A little fuzzy, but you an see the belly growing



I am actually posting on time this week.  I should be grading math right now, but have no urge to do homework.  I will finish up when I am done.  This week went by really fast as usually. This weekend Travis had a football game on Friday so I went and hung out with my dad and step-mom and watched a movie. I  was too tired to do anything else.  I was so exhausted after school last week.  Saturday we picked up some artwork for our living room.  Our living room is finally done be decorated.   Now on to the rest of the house.  Sunday was spent watching football and doing lesson plans all day.  It is still taking me awhile to organize my stuff for school hopefully as I get more comfortable lesson planning will come faster. As for this week the days fly by with being at school for ten hours and then falling asleep at nine, but I love laying in bed feeling my little baby swim around.  It’s amazing how crazy it is some days.

25 Weeks- A little Late

25 weeks on the dot

I am a little late posting this week because it was my first week back to school with the kids.  Wufta it wears you out.  I switched from 8^th to 3^rd grade.  Talk about a huge difference.   It has been a lot of learning and early morning and late nights.  To say the least by Friday I was totally exhausted.  But it was a great week. I have a great class and can’t wait to get to know them better.  This week I also had my 25 week appointment.  I was supposed to go last week, but scheduled it a week late.  Oops.  The doctor’s appointment went great.  She said that I am measuring right on for 25 weeks.  I also got to hear the heartbeat again which is one of my favorite things.  Beating at 159.  My students also found out I was pregnant this week and are sooooo excited.  It’s funny to hear all their questions.  Yesterday morning one little girl came up and kissed my belly and said how is the baby doing.  Lol it is such a change from teaching 8^th graders.  Ohh and the doctor also said that I could run.  I had some questions about cramping and she gave me the okay.  So now I am going to go back to running my huge one to two days a week.  Lol.  

How far along?  25 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 8 pounds    

Maternity clothes? This week I wore a pair of dress maternity pants.  I might have to get a couple more pairs.  I like that I have less to worry about with the pregnancy pants then with the belly bands.   

Stretch Marks? None that I have spotted    

Best Moment: Hearing the baby’s heart beat at the doctor’s office.  I also like feeling the baby move around.          

Miss Anything:  Nope

Movement: Yes, lots at night

Food cravings: Chocolate chip cookies and then I just made pumpkin spice pancakes for breakfast.  I am going to go out on a limb and say I am craving sweets. 

Anything making you queasy or sick:  Nothing this week.  

Have you started to show yet? Yes, more and more. 

Gender: NO IDEA. I CANT WAIT

Labor Signs: No labor signs.

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy. It has been such a great crazy busy week. 

Looking forward to: Going back to the doctor in three weeks for my 28 week appointment.  I can’t believe I will be in my third trimester.  This fall is going to fly by.   I am also looking forward to watching the packers play tomorrow and relaxing all day today.
