36 weeks

Thanks to my mom who took these pictures while she was here visiting a few weeks ago. Man, it was awesome to have her here. I love her and miss so much. She helped me with so many things and she is just the best.

how far along: 36 weeks

total weight gain: 30 pounds

maternity clothes: Yep, and I'm getting real sick of them.

miss anything: Yes, lately I've really been wanting a steak cooked medium. We went to Texas Roadhouse a week ago and I had to settle for some chicken critters. I know where I'm going in a month.

movement: Yes, I love feeling her move, it never gets old. A new thing is feeling her hiccups, love it!

food cravings: Well, besides a good steak, just chocolate still.

anything make you quesy or sick: Just some smells and if I don't eat regularly.

labor signs: Just Braxton Hicks contractions when I'm walking a lot.

happy or moody: I'm fine, not overly happy, but dealing with it. :)

looking forward to: Not feeling so guilty when I don't eat very healthy. I always feel bad when I don't get enough vegetables and eat too many treats. It'll be nice to not stress about that. It'll be nice to sleep on my stomach again. I can't wait to see Jacoby and Hallie together for the first time.

aches and pains: My sciatic nerve has been making me really uncomfortable.

symptoms: I still have quite a bit of energy, just getting anxious.

3D ultrasound

I was so excited to go in for the 3D ultrasound this week. I thought Jacoby's was fun, but they only did one picture. They were so nice and spent a lot of time with me really trying to get some good shots of her sweet face. In the beginning she was holding onto her foot and had it up by her face so you couldn't see her very well. We finally got her to put it down and they got these really great pictures. It was so fun to actually be able to see what she might look like. She looks like she has some lips, which she probably gets from her dad. They printed off about 20 pictures for me and I said, "Wow, that is a lot of pictures, thank you." She said, "Yeah, why don't you fold them up so that noone feels bad that you got so many." I thought that was really nice of them to try and get some good pictures for me. I also got a DVD of the whole ultrasound. We're so grateful that she's growing the way that she should and is doing well. We can't wait to meet her in 10 weeks!

It's a...

We just found out that we're having a GIRL! We are so excited. Tyler has always thought it was a girl and I wasn't too sure, but since he seemed so sure of it, I kind of thought it was a girl too. Jacoby is so excited and always talks about our baby girl. We did't have a preference on what it was, either way would be fun. Yes, I have already been shopping and working on projects. I'm not used to shopping for a girl, it is so different, but I love it. We're so grateful that she looks healthy in there. Thanks for all the nice comments from everyone. We have so many great friends and family!

oh, baby

I'm so happy to announce that we're having a baby! It has been killing me to wait this long. I'm glad that things are going well now and hope they will continue to. I'm due April 3rd, so 5 1/2 months away. We have a lot of family with birthdays in April, so it will be a great month to be born. The baby is even due on my brother-in-law's birthday. I'm grateful for the opportunity we have to be parents again. We are so excited for Jacoby to have a little brother or sister. He is excited and talks about the baby in my tummy and how he sees the baby at the doctor's. He will be such a good helper to me when the baby comes.
While my family was here my mom took some pictures of me to post. Thanks, Mom!

I'm excited to be pregnant at the same time as Steph, too! She is just two months ahead of me. Look how cute she is! She is having a little boy.

We will find out pretty soon what we are having and I will post as soon as I find out!
