39 Weeks


(Sorry, no fancy photo this week)

How far along? 39 Weeks 

Total weight gain: 10lbs 

Maternity clothes? Yes.Tops only. I am still wearing my regular pants.

Stretch marks? No new ones in the past week. 

Sleep: Sleeping is so-so.

Best moment this week: Amar'e telling the baby its ok to come out. She turned on the light and brought over "Goodnight Moon" (as if it was a gift for the baby) and said "it's just me and daddy out here, don't be scared baby". I just about died! 

Miss anything? Sleep. 

Movement: Tons!

Food cravings (this will be an ongoing list I will add to) : Fruits and vegetables,lemons,tomatoes,nachos,chocolate chip cookies, salt, this chickpea concoction that Andrew whipped up one day for lunch, Brussels sprouts lot and lot of brussels sprouts, caramelized onions, Mangos,Watermelon, cucumber and avocado rolls, water with lemon. Salad and corn on the cob, pasta, salsa, beans and yellow rice, Kale, green juice.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Not queasy anymore...lets keep it that way.

Gender: We will not be finding out the gender until the day the baby arrives. I say boy. 

Symptoms: I am 1.5 cm dilated and about 30% effaced. I thought for sure after Wednesday/Thursday's false labor scare that I would of progressed a bit more...but I guess that can change within hours. Also, the baby has dropped deep down into my pelvis which means the vicious rib kicks have stopped and I am no longer out of breath. 

Belly button in or out? From the front it looks like it is poking out a bit.  

Wedding rings on or off? On.

Happy or moody most of the time: I'm ready to have this baby any day now! I've been happy lately due to not having to wake up at the crack ass of dawn to be at work. I am able to go with my bodies natural rhythm, which means I go to bed when I'm tired and rise when I'm rested. This is wonderful. 

Looking forward to: Having this baby! :)

Fryeburg Fair 2013



Along with the onset of Fall comes fair season, and from my post from last year you know that we try to make it to the Fryeburg Fair in Fryeburg, Maine during this time.  We originally wanted to go on Tuesday or Wednesday night because Diamond Rio was playing Tuesday and Janna Cramer was playing Wednesday.  This didn't work out for us because Andrew had to work both nights. Super bummed out about that. The night show is always a big draw for me since I have recently become less interested (and totally disgusted) by seeing all the animals. Yah, I use to love going to see all the animals, but not anymore. There are to many reasons to list for this, and if you know me I am sure you know some of them. I found out that all the animals are pretty much confined to one spot for the entire week of the fair. Yah, I should obviously know that this is the nature of an agricultural fair, but I still don't have to like it. We actually got a chance to see cows getting milked. Damien refused to watch it and this was a sign that he is understanding the concepts that I speak with him about. It was rather funny and sad that the girl next to me was saying as we watched the cows get milked "I hope they don't sell that milk", my thought was: "if you only knew my dear". We also use to enjoy the horse pull that takes place during the evening....but not anymore. The specially food pavilion is fun and the food expo is awesome too. It is a huge fair and covers a lot of ground, so there is a lot to see and I don't think we even got half of it in.

37 Weeks






How far along? 37 Weeks 

Total weight gain: 10lbs 

Maternity clothes? Yes.Tops only. I am still wearing my regular pants.  My pants are actually starting to get a little baggy. I dont understand what is going on?!?!?!?

Stretch marks? No new ones in the past week. 

Sleep: Sleeping still sucks for me. I am looking forward to not having to be up and at work for 7 a.m. after next week. 

Best moment this week: Taking maternity pictures! 

Miss anything? Sleep. 

Movement: Tons!

Food cravings (this will be an ongoing list I will add to) : Fruits and vegetables,lemons,tomatoes,nachos,chocolate chip cookies, salt, this chickpea concoction that Andrew whipped up one day for lunch, Brussels sprouts lot and lot of brussels sprouts, caramelized onions, Mangos,Watermelon, cucumber and avocado rolls, water with lemon. Salad and corn on the cob, pasta, salsa, beans and yellow rice, Kale, green juice.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Not queasy anymore...lets keep it that way.

Gender: We will not be finding out the gender until the day the baby arrives. I say boy. 

Symptoms: Pelvic region soreness and heartburn here and there. It all depends on what I eat. A cup of soy milk usually take care of the heartburn, indigestion. 

Belly button in or out? From the front it looks like it is poking out a bit.  

Wedding rings on or off? On.

Happy or moody most of the time: Pretty happy these past couple of weeks. I am really starting to get excited about having this baby. I have mixed emotions on giving birth again, but I am trying to keep my thoughts positive. I've also been doing my squats as much as I can.

Looking forward to: My last day of work, which will be October 18th, washing the cloth diapers, and getting everything in order for this little one to arrive.

36 Weeks 6 days


(Sorry about the terrible picture quality. I ran out of time to get this 36 week post up because I am 37 weeks tomorrow (full term, woot-woot!!!).  I also had to rely on Damien to be my photographer. He did his best and I am thankful for his willingness! Love you Damien! I also had NO time to edit or anything like that)


How far along? 36 Weeks 6 days 

Total weight gain: 10lbs 

Maternity clothes? Yes.Tops only. I am still wearing my regular pants.  

Stretch marks? No new ones in the past two weeks. My generic Cocoa Butter lotion is doing a great job.

Sleep: Not good at all! I am sleeping horribly. I hope this changes because I'd really appreciate a good night sleep at this point. 

Best moment this week: Amar'e helping me rub lotion on my belly every night. She also kisses my belly often and seems really excited for the baby to arrive. Damien is really excited too!  

Miss anything? Being able to put socks and shoes on without almost dying in the process. Now that it is cooler out, (especially in the mornings when going to work) I have to put shoes on that aren't sandals (boots). This is not easy to do with this belly in the way. 

Movement: Tons of movement! I love to watch it in a mirror. It's intense at times.

Food cravings (this will be an ongoing list I will add to) : Fruits and vegetables,lemons,tomatoes,nachos,chocolate chip cookies, salt, this chickpea concoction that Andrew whipped up one day for lunch, Brussels sprouts lot and lot of brussels sprouts, caramelized onions, Mangos,Watermelon, cucumber and avocado rolls, water with lemon. Salad and corn on the cob, pasta, salsa, beans and yellow rice, Kale, green juice.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Not queasy anymore...lets keep it that way.

Gender: We will not be finding out the gender until the day the baby arrives. I say boy. 

Symptoms: Pelvic region soreness. 

Belly button in or out? In but flattened right out. 

Wedding rings on or off? On.

Happy or moody most of the time: Pretty happy these past couple of weeks. I am really starting to get excited about having this baby. I have mixed emotions on giving birth again, but I am trying to keep my thoughts positive. 

Looking forward to: My last day of work, which will be October 18th. During the time between my last day of work and the arrival of the baby I am going to work on crocheting a beautiful blanket for him/her. I have to finish the one I started for Amar'e first. I'm also going to be trying to get everything in order for this baby's arrival. I just cant seem to find the time to do it, start to finish, without a million and half interruptions.

A Visit To Maine And Apple Picking

Finally, it happened, a trip out of town for this family took place and it was amazing! We were able to clear our minds, relax with family, and laugh out loud. I needed this is so many ways....we all did. It had been over a year since our last family trip to Maine...so we were long over due. The whole day was equally fun, but the event of Apple picking is what ended up getting documented in pictures. The orchard was a short drive out into the country and was the perfect setting for some great picture taking opportunities. Actually, when we pulled in there were some young ladies taking some pictures in the field in front of the orchard. It looked like they might have been taking senior pictures. The day couldn't have been better...good food, good fun, good laughs, and family.
