30 week bumpdate

I woke up this morning and almost had a heart attack. I hit 30 weeks today which means I have only 10 (if that) weeks left before this baby gets here!

All the sudden these questions ran into my mind... Am I ready for this? Why is this pregnancy flying by so fast? Oh no I haven't even started the nursery! What else do me and Ky need to do before it's not just the two of us anymore? And blah blah blah. Truth is, 10 weeks really doesn't seem that long to me and I really want to try and enjoy these last few months before baby gets here.

How big is baby: 17 inches long, and just over 3 pounds.

Symptoms: heartburn... But what else is new. And this back pain keeps getting worse and worse the bigger she gets:) also... The dreaded stretch marks have made their appearance! I have decided to call them my beauty marks though:) honestly they don't bother me all that much.

Baby movement: constantly! And more in my right side ribcage. Makes for a super uncomfortable momma. Also funny moment from today.. Meghan Trainers song "No" came on in the car today while I was running my errands, and little girl started kicking right to the beat! I kinda made a joke out loud.. "So you want your name to be No?" After the lyrics go "my name is no..." And she just stopped kicking. Like Hello mom. No I don't want my name to be No! I like to think she just liked the song, which is good because I do too, which means she has excellent taste. 

Sleeping: seriously a hit and miss. About every third night I realllllllly get a good night sleep and Kyler always tells me he knows because I end up snoring the whole night. Sorry honey! I have to enjoy it while I can! And I truly believe I would sleep better if I didn't have to get up every 2 hours to pee!

New things for baby: Grandma Hoggan (my mom) went to St. George a few weeks ago and came home with darling clothes,  a hat, and cute little moccasins for baby. Grandma Webb (kylers mom) has also been shopping lots, safe to say these grandmas are very excited for a grand baby! I also had extra fabric from the car seat cover I made her, and decided to make the CUTEST leggings for her. They turned out sooooo cute! Also Sister Burton from my temple shift made baby the cutessssst blanket that she crochet herself. 

Things I'm NOT looking forward to: being more uncomfortable, the hotness of summer, and leaving all my friends from the Temple. I only have 4 more weeks until they are kicking me out! And yes I completely understand.. I have absolutely loved working in the temple with Ky. Luckily he gets to stay :)

Things I AM looking forward to: my first Mother's Day, Kylers graduation from college on Saturday (finally!) and getting our new car! We just bought a Chevy Aveo, and let's just say I look dang cute driving it:) 

Life is good and I wouldn't have it any other way. 

Third Trimester/27 week bumpdate

This pregnancy is going by so fast for me and I can't believe we only have one trimester left. One thing is for sure, I am trying to enjoy every last minute especially the last few months that it's just me and Ky.

How big is baby: as big as a cucumber! 15 inches long and just over 2 pounds.

Symptoms: guys... The heartburn just might kill me. It doesn't seem to be getting any better but it's all worth it in the end right? :) also back pain here and there.

Baby movement: lots! I'm feeling her kick and move constantly every day and absolutely love it. Also Kyler and my sister Heather have felt her move now which is super fun:)

Sleeping: still good... Other than the fact of getting up 3-4 times in the night to pee! Haha

Things little girl has received: our bestest friend Jessica has once again been so generous and has given us diapers, and some other fun baby stuff. She's gotten lots of new baby clothes! One of which daddy picked out in Disneyland. I got a steal of a deal on a Petunia Picklebottom Diaper bag! $25 dollars on Cache Valley Classifieds and you better believe I did a happy dance:) one last thing, I found the cutest fabric at my most favorite place in the whole wide world.. Hobby lobby! And decided to make a darling car seat cover that might I add... Goes great with the diaper bag:) 

Little girl we are so excited to meet you! 

California Babymoon

We needed to make sure we had one last trip in before baby girl gets here, so we decided to join along with my sister on her senior trip (thanks Heather!) 

We ended up spending 3 days total in Disneyland, it was Kylers first time there so I couldn't wait to show him the magic! We had an amazing time and Minnie Mouse loved my "Minnie Me" shirt. All thought I couldn't go on the big roller coasters being 6 months pregnant I was able to ride everything else... The Ferris wheel, Soarin' over California, Pirates, It's a small world, and lots of others just to name a few. We loved the parades and firework shows as well. Disneyland always has a special place in my heart and We can't wait to take baby girl back.

Some other things we did out in California was go to the Ronald Regan Presidental Libray which was way neat! Got to go to a taping of Wheel of Fortune and Americas got Talent. Go to the Los Angles Temple and do sealings, go to the Santa Monica Pier, and made it to an opening day baseball game for the Angels and the Cubs. We really had a great time and I'm so grateful to have such an amazing husband who helped plan most of this trip, was patient with 6 1/2 ladies for one week, and who let me have some things that I wanted to do even though I know it wasn't his favorite. He even celebrated his 25th birthday in Disneyland and if you know him... That's saying a lot:) I sure do love you Kyler James! Can't believe the next trip we take we will have a little tag-a-long :)

23 weeks

23 weeks and I can hardly believe how fast time is flying. Seems like just yesterday we found out the gender of our sweet baby girl. Lots of things have been changing.. The biggest of which is my belly:)

How big is baby: as big as a papaya! 8 inches long and about 1.2 pounds.

Weight gain: I know there's some... None of my clothes are fitting me anymore! 😭

Symptoms: that darn heartburn doesn't seem to want to go away anytime soon.. And just in this last week I've been having some back pain. But other than that mommy feels great!

Fun things: I am feeling baby move more and more now, especially at night/evening time is when she seems to be the most active. I love feeling her move!

Sleeping: great! Doctor Craig says I have about 2 more months of that then... Hardly any sleep for quite a few years ;)

Food cravings: none.. Except Easter candy sounds really good right about now...

 What I'm looking forward to: we leave for St. George tomorrow for a baseball tournement and in two weeks for California! So I am really getting excited for that:)

 

Halfway there

We made it 20 weeks and I don't know if I want to cry or celebrate. This whole pregnancy is going by so fast and I'm trying to enjoy every little second.

How big is baby: as big as a mango, and at our appointment Friday she was 10oz which is right where she is supposed to be:)

Weight gain: surprisingly Dr. Craig said I hadn't gained any from my last visit so hooray!

Symptoms: the heartburn is not getting any better, and I'm sure kyler is just sick of me complaining about how awful it is! Any thing and everything gives me heartburn and tums are my best friend right now.

Fun things: now that baby can hear me I am loving reading my scriptures out loud so that she can hear too :)

Sleeping: fantastic! I still get those crazy dreams every other night. 

Food cravings: really I haven't come across a craving that "I need or I'm going to die!" I have feelings that things sound good to eat but I'm perfectly fine if I don't eat it. No not really any cravings.

Gender: pink pink girl! It's so nice to finally know now:)

What the baby has gotten so far: little girl is spoiled so much already and I am beyond grateful for everyone's kind and generous gifts! My cousin Jessica got her the most darling outfit, binkies, bottles, and blanket, we have received diapers from both Grandma Webb and Grandma Hoggan, I also went through all my baby stuff with my mom a few days ago and brought home some darling church dresses I used to wear plus my baby blessing dress that our sweet little one will also wear. 

What mommy has gotten so far: my sweet mom and sister got me a darling Alex and Ani bracelet with a pink charm of a stork to represent me as mommy, my sister got an "aunt" one and my mom a "grandma" one so we all three match. I love it!

What I'm looking forward to: feeling our sweet little baby more and more, the placenta is in the front of my tummy which is why I haven't been able to feel to much going on unless I'm consciously paying attention. The other day while driving in the car Maroon 5 "Sugar" came on so obviously kyler turned it up and I felt little baby dancing (okay probably not dancing but moment:) she must like that song as much as her mommy and daddy. I'm also looking forward to spring coming, the weather has been fantastic this week and I'm eager to get outside and go on walks again. Bring on the sunshine! 

Pink or blue

We found out the gender of baby webb on February 19th at 8:00 in the morning, and let's just say baby takes after me in the fact that it was stubborn and didn't want to move much that early in the morning.

The baby's legs were crossed and it didn't plan on budging anytime soon, I was so worried we wouldn't find out the gender that day and I didn't want to leave disappointed!

Finally the big moment happened! After much nudging and verbal encouragement.. The legs uncrossed!

And we had ourselves a baby...

Girl!! Tears just started flowing and I was so relieved to know. I had felt all along we had a little girl in there but didn't dare say anything to anyone except Ky, plus I had a dream a few weeks earlier about having a little girl. We are so excited for this little one to be in our family and now all the fun PINK stuff begins :)

And to add to the cuteness this was the text I got from Ky later that day, he keeps calling her his little princess and I can already see the love he has for her and it makes my momma heart just thump.

18 weeks + Valentine's Day

V

The time is just flying and I can't believe we are almost half way there! 

How far along: 18 weeks and 2 days

How big is baby: size of a sweet patato, 5.5 inches and 5 oz

Weight gain: not much in the past few weeks thank goodness

Symptoms: heart burnnnnn! I keep telling myself it's because of Valentine's Day. Get it? :)

Sleeping: honestly if I could.. I would sleep all day:( which takes me to this...

But really? It's true.

Food cravings: valentines candy and chocolate.. Um. I'm also loving dr. Pepper again.. And not so much Diet Coke. I know I'm crazy!

Gender: we find out next week!! We are so excited! 

I also need to add that Valentine's Day was the first time I actually felt little baby kick! It was so sweet laying in bed that night and to finally feel something, I like to think it's the baby's way of saying "love you mom! Happy first Valentine's Day!"
