37 weeks pregnant!

I saw another blogger do this and I thought it would be fun. And I'm bored.. Aiden is asleep and I'm enjoying a pumpkin spice latte while watching twister so I figured why not! Plus, it reminded me of those surveys we used to do in middle school or on myspace haha, guess I'm feeling nostalgic!

How Far Along? 37 weeks on Sunday!

Symptoms: Um, I'm huge? Is that a symptom?

Total Weight Gain/Loss: bahaha, um. 2 lbs...for every square inch of my body.

Sleep: Non existent. I pee every hour or two, and sometimes I fall back to sleep in between those, sometimes I don't. I can't stand when people say, "Sleep now, you won't sleep once the baby comes!" Oh yes, yes I will, I would much rather comfort and nurse my sweet girl all night than try my best and roll my beached self out of our very tall bed. :)

Food Cravings: Coffee,tokyo express and salad! I would kill for some tokyo right now!

Best Moment This Week: Hearing my husband should be home soon! That and Aiden telling me, "Oh thank you so much mama" for breakfast :D

Movement: All day, err day. She never stops!

Labor Signs: I've been having alot more braxton hicks, but I'm having real contractions as well. Some of them are pretty uncomfortable! And she is pretty low, I don't think it will be too much longer

Gender: Sweet baby girl!

Name? Yes we have a name picked out! :)

Belly Button In Or Out? In, I have the world’s deepest belly button!

What I Miss: Seeing my feet & sleeping on my stomach and rough housing with Aiden without feeling like I'm dying haha

What I Am Looking Forward To: Seeing Aiden become a big brother,seeing what this little girl looks like!

Milestones: Full term baby, let's go!

Enjoying your pregnancy? Yes! I am, I love feeling her roll around and I love being the one to carry our children, I think it's a huge blessing... that being said, I'm ready for her to be here ;)

Weekly Wisdom: Being positive about a situation really is the only way to get through it, trust that God knows your heart and remember he loves you and won't let you fall!

This top picture was last week at 36 weeks ^

This bottom picture is from today, she's sitting SO much lower!

(Ignore the look on my face hahaha)

A long overdue update!

If you actually take the time to read this, we're more than likely already friends on Facebook or in REAL LIFE. Which means you probably know what's going on in our lives but on the off chance I'll update yall anyway. I use Fb pretty often but I don't post everything as to not blow up everyone's news feeds and whatnot, but when I live 4000 miles away it's nice to stay in touch!



We're having a baby! (obviously this news is shocking, because I'm 9 months pregnant as I type this)

36 weeks preggo!

I am already dilated, and somewhat effaced and have been that way for quite some time. At one point we thought we we're going to have a premie on our hands because I started having contractions at 32 weeks and they wouldn't stop on their own. A hospital stay,drugs and "light activity" later here we are 1 week away from full term! Aiden was born at 36 weeks 4/5 days so if she makes her appearance when he did, that's WAY too soon because Patrick is still on the mainland, gah. The Marine Corps hasn't quite decided what they are doing with him at this point but rumor mill is that he can take his Paternity leave at any time, I just have to have her within that 10 day span or they ship him back to California. (On our dime, might I add) 

I think. Who know's really. 

Aiden turns three next month! 

HE IS TOO BIG. I can't grasp that he is already turning 3. I feel like I was pregnant with him yesterday and I should just go ahead and order his graduation announcements tomorrow so they'll be in on time :( His personality is coming out full force and he is talking so much more these days! He can recognize all his numbers,colors, shapes and letters and occasionally will sing his ABC's.. and by that i mean A..B..C..D..F..G..H..ELEMENTOPEEEEEE! He graduated speech therapy last month because he was in 90% of his milestones speech wise! He still has some catching up to do but his progress has been massive, thank the Lord for second opinions on ear tubes!He is your typical little boy who loves trucks,trains, playing outside and climbing anything he can. His current obessions are his trains, the movie Cars and chocolate milk.

The Marine Corps life. 

Patrick is deploying (fingers crossed it's the last time!) this winter so the kiddos (Ah!) and I are packing up our lives and heading back to Virginia for the duration of the deployment. This was a HUGE decision with a lot of thought,headache and prayer poured into it. The biggest reason we went ahead with it was because he will be getting new orders once he get's back and we will be moving to the next duty station, so we are officially telling Hawaii goodbye come winter months. This process is going to be a pain in the tail but it will be worth it to let Aiden and baby girl spend some much needed time with our families and friends. We are praying for an east coast duty station this go round and Pat should find out sometime in the spring where exactly we are headed!

Welp, I think that's all for now! 

I love having my blog back!

I am just going to pretend that I've used my blog within the last couple of weeks and all is good.

I have been looking to redo my blog for months now and I finally got around to it! So I can get back on track with writing and keeping updates going. :)
