34 weeks


Symptoms:  Just lots of aches and pains.  I have a hard time bending over and I tire out really easly.  My energy level has just been blah so its hard to get things done!!  I am having lots of sharp pains down low.  With all that said...I did feel GREAT today!!  I went to bed at 9 and got up at 6:15 which is way early for us but I had the most energy all day and got so much done...I felt like the energizer bunny! ;)  I think I may have been getting too much sleep causing me to feel worse.  Now if I can just make myself get up early every morning...that will be the hard part!!

Weight Gain:  Still at 25

Maternity Clothes: Some of both...but if I am home, usually my pjs are on!

Movement:  I love watching my belly move!  She always sticks her butt out it feels like because I constantly have a knot on one side.  I can push on it a little and she moves.  I feel almost like I am popping something back in place!! haha

Sleeping:  Sleep would be much better if I did not have to get up 3-4 times to use that bathroom.  I think all pregnant women should wear depend Diapers!! haha...that would make it SO much easier to not have to get up at night! :)  Dont worry...I am not going to resort to that but hey, it IS a good idea!!

Fun at the Park

After we got finished eating dinner Friday, we took Anna Riley to play at the park for a while.  We have been just playing in the yard most days since we can't stay out long because of the heat so she was more than ready to go!!  We even had the park all to ourselves! 

Notice the one shoe or no shoes in some of the pictures...She went and put on a pair of her crocs by herself so I let her wear them and they would't stay on with all the climbing she was doing so she ended up with no shoes and extremely black feet that we had to scrub when we got home!!

Maternity Pictures

We got my friend Peyton to take some maternity pictures this week.  We wanted to have the pictures but since we weren't planning on buying a lot, we decided not to have them done professionally.  I would rather put that money toward the family and newborn pictures we are having done in October.  I had looked around on Pintrest for some ideas of different shots we could try and Peyton did a fabulous job getting them!  Anna Riley didn't cooperate as well as I would have liked but we still got some really good ones I think!  Thanks Peyton for taking the time to do this for us!!
Here are several of my favorites:  (I tried narrowing down but couldn't decide so excuse the amount of pictures)




This kind of sums it up...I ask her to give me a kiss and she sticks out her tongue!
