Update on Life & Pregnancy

Image
By
Ok so I have been wanting to blog about Thanksgiving for a while now but I have just run out of time. I also need to do a 35 week update so everyone bear with me as I combine a lot of random happenings into one post.

Thanksgiving was so nice and relaxing. Spent some much needed time with family and Derek. I couldn't have asked for anything better. We spent Thanksgiving afternoon with my mom's side of the family enjoying quite the feast. I was loving the stuffing, sweet potatoes, french silk pie and rolls this year. I couldn't get enough. Meat still makes me pretty sick and I knew the turkey wouldn't sit well with my pregnant body so I just skipped it all together. However I still had a rough night and later learned the french silk pie was made with raw eggs. ha So much for my good efforts.

Like this one? What happened to Stephen's face? So bummed. Anyways, siblings shot.
This weekend was AMAZING! We seriously had a blast and still didn't get to accomplish everything we wanted to. Highlight of the weekend was The Killers concert. I believe I mentioned that I purchased tickets for Derek's birthday. What a fun gift that I got to enjoy as well...ha We had a blast together. Went out to eat, then loved watching Tegan & Sara and The Killers perform, and then ended the night watching Elf. The show was awesome. The Killers are better live, if that's even possible, and the show they put on was so much fun. Tons of energy. So glad we got to do another fun thing before the babe comes.

Waiting for the show to start

Love this shot! Loved this show!
Ok for a quick update on pregnancy.

How Far Along: 35 weeks, 4 days
Size of the Baby: Large...ha 5.5 pounds about
Weight gain/loss: Find out tomorrow. I am guessing I've put on another 2.5 pounds. Just lovely. 
Sleep: hahaha
Best Moment of the Week: The Killers concert and feeling her moving around a ton. She's cute. Also yesterday my mom handed me a little pink dress that I used to wear as a baby. Can't wait for our little girl to wear something of her momma's. I love it. Thanks Mom!
Movement: Still moving around. I think I have finally figured out that she moves a normal amount and that makes me so happy. Love feeling her kick.
Symptoms: Is fatness a symptom? ha Swelling. My hands have gotten bad recently. It's weird.
Food Cravings: Sweet things much to my dismay. Discovered yesterday that my craving for cottage cheese has ended. I am sad about this one. It was a nice way to get some protein in my diet.
Gender: A cute baby girl
Belly Button - In or Out?: Weird but true...it's gone to being more in again.
Anything making you queasy or sick?: Lots of things.
Labor Signs: Not that I am aware of. A lot of Braxton Hicks but I hear that's pretty normal.
What I Miss: My body.
What I am looking forward to: Really tackling some of the things on our to do list these next couple of weeks. Today is December 3rd and I am due January 3rd. We are running out of time. Crazy. 
Nursery: Skip.
Emotions: Just a lot of pure exhaustion. So I think because I am so tired and extra emotional I had another interesting experience at church on Sunday. There I am sitting and listening when my hands start to do their swelling thing and I just start to cry. At that moment I was so tired of being tired and fat that I just couldn't handle it anymore. I don't really cry much so these moments always catch me by surprise. I just wanted to laugh at myself.
Stupid things I have done: Nothing to report here. Feeling pretty good about that.

UPDATE:  Hello Everyone! I have noticed that this post has been receiving a lot of traffic via pinterest and The Dating Divas Website. I wanted to welcome you all. I still do free printables for different seasons and holidays but no longer post them on my personal blog. We'd love it if you'd follow along on our design journey. You can find us on Facebook !

Big News!

By
So this is big news for the Power family. I know many of you know a million other people who are currently pregnant but before you roll your eyes and skip over this post completely (ha), read on and hear a little bit about our story. I am currently 20 weeks pregnant. We just found out yesterday that we are expecting a baby girl. She is due to enter this world on January 3, 2012. So far she is healthy and growing strong. She is growing about a week ahead of schedule. Maybe she'll come early...like before the end of the year. Derek and I will celebrate our 3rd anniversary on the 16th of January...so not too long after our sweet girl is born. A little about us: Derek: One of the things I love most about Derek is how patiently he accepts trials in his life. He always has such a good atitude about what life has handed him. When he was 11 or 12 he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Then at age 19 he was diagnosed with Lymphoma Cancer.  He has now been in remission for 5 ...

32 weeks, 2 days here How Far Along: 32 weeks, 4 days Size of the Baby:  Almost 4 pounds and about 17 inches long Weight gain/loss: 3.6 pounds in the last month bringing me to 12.6 pounds total Sleep:  It's gotten worse. Oh well. At least the trains are the least of my worries now. Any sleep advice for the 3rd trimester? I'll take any I can get. I wake up with the worst back and abdomen pain and I have to rotate multiple times throughout the night since my hips, legs, arms, and hands all start going numb. ha I am ready to buy a recliner and sleep sitting up. It might work out better. Best Moment of the Week: My birthday and my baby shower. (More to come on these later) How could you not have an awesome week with those two things in the mix? Movement: Lots of rolling and jabbing. I feel like the past couple days she has been moving more constantly. I am loving it. Only two other people have felt her move besides her parents - Samantha and Jami...
