32 week appointment

Yesterday I had my 32 week appointment. Kloey is growing right on track, im measuring 32cm and her heartbeat is a strong 140. She is still head down, the doctor showed where to feel, and I could feel her little head! What a miracle! I think it's amazing that babies know to turn, another amazing thing God does! On thursday I have to go to the clinic and get my H1N1 vaccine, they are only offering it to pregnant women right now until they get more in a couple weeks. Hopefully it goes ok, I've heard it can have some wierd side affects... but it's better than putting me and Kloey at risk of getting the swine flu!!!

Only 10 more days till my Babyshower!! Im soo excited!! Yeaahhh!!!

31 weeks

9 more weeks to go, or about 62 more days!!! And three more weeks till my Babyshower!!!! Yeah!! It's getting very exciting! I am ready to meet my little girl and to have my body back!! (hopefully it won't take too long to lose my baby weight) ! Almost there!!!!

30 week Dr. Appointment

Yesterday I had my 30 week OB App. with Dr. Schlosser, Kloey is already head down and is growing right on schedule! I am measuring 30 cm exactly and her heartbeat is a good 140!! I have another App. on the 27th, I will be getting a H1N1 shot and hopefully we can start talking more about if I can be induced or not a couple days early because my dodctor is going on vacation the week of my due date! I know it will all work out how it's suppose to!! We are ready to meet Miss Kloey Nicole!!! :)

Almost 30 weeks!!!

I will be 30 weeks on saturday!! Yeah!! It's almost here!! Only 73 more days or so..!!!!

I can't wait to meet my Little Girl!

Happy 5th Birthday Jordan!

Happy Birthday Jordan!!!!

I couldn't write yesterday on his actual Birthday, my poor guy has a sinus and an ear infection right now. He hasn't been feeling good since saturday evening after his party, he got a really bad nose bleed and kept saying his ear hurt really bad. I took him to the doctor on Monday and sure enough he is very sick. :( My poor guy is a trooper though. Yesterday he stayed in bed all day and I read him books and even got to take a nap with him myself. I went and picked up a Happy Birthday balloon and a cap gun for him and Jesse to play with when he feels better.
I'm keeping him home today also, he has a field trip tomorrow to the Apple farm in Solvang and I really hope he's feeling well enough to go! I Love you Jordan Soooo Much!!! Happy Birthday!! And get better my big boy!!

27 WEEKS!!

Almost there! About 90 more days!

Your BabyThis week marks the beginning of the third trimester. The retina, which is important in the reception of light images, develops its normal layers by the 27th week of gestation. These layers are important in receiving light and light information and transmitting it to the brain for interpretation. Your baby's skin is quite wrinkled from floating in water. This will stay this way until a few weeks after birth as your newborn fills out into a baby. Your baby is about 14.5 inches long, and weighs over two pounds.

Your BodyCongratulations!

You have officially started your third trimester. Way to go! Your body will need an extra 300 to 350 calories each day. During this time you will continue to put on weight and will continue to do so until about your 36th or 37th week. You will notice that the weight you gain will be different in the placement then the weight you have gained to this point. As long as you are eating healthily and maintaining a well-balanced diet, the weight you gain during pregnancy is not considered fat or unhealthy, but instead, necessary for sustaining both you and your baby. Now is not the time to worry about the number on the scale and you should not diet while pregnant. If you are concerned with the amount of weight you are gaining - whether too much or too little - discuss it with your doctor. You may be experiencing some shortness of breath from the pressure of your uterus on your rib cage. As your uterus grows, it places pressure on the rib cage and prevents your lungs from being able to expand completely. But don't worry. You and your baby are still getting enough oxygen. In your third trimester it is important to recognize the signs of premature labor. Research shows that premature labor is more common in some women in the summer months then other times of year due to dehydration. Be sure to continue to drink plenty of fluids.

25 1/ 2 weeks!

Six and 1/2 months and counting! It's coming closer and closer to my due date, and i'm getting very anxious! I'm going to make a list today of everything we still need for Miss Kloey Nicole before she arrives! I am starting to realize her routine that she has, she is a night owl and likes to keep mommy up all night kicking and moving! She is usually asleep in the morning till about 10am or until I start doing my housework! And she usually is sleeping until 3 or 4. When daddy comes home from work she wakes up and he gets to feel her kicking everywhere too! Sometimes it feels like she has ten arms and legs! Jordan likes to talk to her and kisses my belly every morning when he goes into his classroom for school! I can't wait for our little princess to be here!!

Fetal development in pregnancy week 25:

fetus in sixth month Your little grower’s physical proportions are evening out at this point and most of their remaining development will largely be weight gain and lots and lots of nervous system development. The good news is: if your child is born premature now they’ll be more likely to survive without too much trauma as their lungs began to produce “surfactant” last week, which means their tiny respiratory system is getting stronger with each passing day. Yes, now’s a good time for a minor sigh of relief and a quick pat on the back. All that hard work and conscientious living is really getting your child prepared for a healthy delivery. Keep up the fabulous work mama! This week they’ll be scootching slowly out of the old breech position and start rotating (already!) into a better position for exit during their birth. Their head and feet are slowly rotating so that the head is pointed down towards the birth canal. Time is short (or really long, depending on who you ask)—just (still!) 14 weeks left before you can go back to being a single-resident human.


And how's mom doing? Trimester two is finally almost over, which means you have that one final trimester of pregnancy to enjoy (and suffer through). You could celebrate this landmark passage by purchasing some piece of clothing designed to make your curvy body look as gorgeous and classy as possible... and don’t let the Try to practice good posture—it will alleviate some of the back fatigue as slouching is actually harder on your back price tag stop you, this is an act of self-love not book-keeping. But before you max out your credit card, remember: you’re only going to get larger, so buy smart. Speaking of larger, you’re obviously carrying more weight now and your back is going to let you know. Don’t let this get you down or make you feel like a weakling—it all comes with the territory of being preggers. Try to practice good posture—it will alleviate some of the back fatigue as slouching is actually harder on your back. It’s also common for women to experience leg cramps during this period. Go ahead, strong arm someone who loves you into giving you a massage. Or if you're lucky enough to have the extra bucks, head to a spa that specializes in pregnancy massages and get the full-treatment.
You may have already noticed that your hair seems fuller, thicker, more plentiful and darker-- especially your body hair. There are two basic reasons for this: 1) you're shedding much less (head) hair than you usually do and 2) your body's hormones contribute to the way your body hair is growing right now. Not to worry, all the hairiness will return to normal after you've delivered your baby.

A cute email to share!

My mom sent this to me, an d I thought it was too cute!! I thought i would share it! :)



From the diary of a Pre-School Teacher

My five-year old students are learning to read.


Yesterday one of them pointed at a picture in a zoo book and said,

"Look at this! It's a frickin' elephant! "I took a deep breath, then

asked...."What did you call it?""It's a frickin' elephant! It says so on the

picture!" And so it does... " A f r i c a n Elephant " Hooked on phonics!

Now that's funny, I don't care who you are.

My boy is starting school today!!!
