Week 37...what a week!

It's been a while! I have felt so busy and haven't had time to blog! I am now 37 weeks and 5 days prego. I say that should be long enough! I am so done being pregnant! I hate to complain, but here we go.
For the past week or so I have missed about three days of work from either being so worn out or painful contractions! Saturday night about 9pm I started having contractions. They were not to bad..I could still talk and do things through them. I mean Broc and I set up a crib and installed a car seat! About an hour later they were getting more painful...and more painful...and more painful! By about 11pm I couldn't talk, walk, or smile through them. I decided to shower and lay down. Nope they were killer. 2-4 minutes apart. I would switch positions and Broc and I even went on a walk and they were still there. About 12 we decided to lay down and see if I could get some sleep. Then at 1am we decided to go It labor and delivery. We were there until about 3:30 being monitored and checked out. Sadly, they sent me home! Bummer! My contractions were so painful and consistent I thought they would keep me. My cervix didn't change within the hour so I wasn't "progressing." they sent me home with a lortab to knock me out so I could relax and sleep. Finally home and in bed I'm still having contractions waiting for the lortab to kick in and thank goodness it finally did. All I remember is a few more painful contractions and peeing twice during the night and I was out! I woke up at 12pm! Holy cow! Now, on Sunday the contractions have returned but not nearly has painful or regular. I have had contractions every day for over a week! Come on Lexi! Well, that's my fun weekend. I'm going to try and make it through the work week but we will see how that goes! Here's to week 38...and hopefully a new baby soon!
Although I am so done being pregnant, I love feeling my little Lexi move at the same time. I am pretty proud to announce I have only gained about. 34 lbs. :)

34 weeks!

I think there comes a point with every pregnant lady where they are over being pregnant.
I love feeling my baby move, but I'm over the big belly, tight clothes, shortness of breath, constant full bladder, and ect! 5 more weeks left!
The last few weeks have been pretty good

32 and 34 weeks!
Tito has realized something is growing with me!
Car rides are not the same!
No more room!
Week 34 was pretty good.
Glad its over, one less week to go!
Only 5 weeks left!
I was so "lucky" to catch the stomach flu this week! So glad it only last about 24 hours!

Baby Shower

Well I have to say this past week or two has been so busy! I can't even remember where I left off! I do know that I forgot to blog about pregnancy week 32.
Week 32.
I hardly remember it! I'm almost 34 weeks now, so we will wait until next photo day to update on pregnancy!
This weekend was my baby shower! I have been so excited for it! It was fun! There was a little problem though! I reserved the club house in our complex to hold the baby shower in and when we go down there to set up..it is 90 degrees in there!...At the last minute (3:30) we rush up to my house and start setting up. I was dying heat! I was sweating so much! It was a little stressful throwing it all together at my house at the last second, but it turned out great! Here are some photos! (excuse the gross-ness of myself!)
My parents gave little Lexi some UK & UL gear.
Which one will she wear? Well, I bleed blue..
but because my mom is a Louisville fan she will wear that too!

The blanket was made my a co worker which is so cute!
The swing was given to us by Broc's Aunt and Uncle
The play mat was given to us by another co worker of mine
My friend Megan made a cute diaper cake!


I love little Hurley outfits!



Over all it was a pretty good weekend, my mom was able to come out but that will be another post! So farewell for now! Week 33 is over and that means only 6 more to go!

Pregnancy Week 31

31 weeks down.
We are officially down to the single digits!
WOOH BABY! (literally)
Here is a wrap up of the week!
Weighing in at just over 3 lbs
Measuring between 16-18 inches
Yesterday (Saturday) just about killed me.
The heat was finally too much! I started to sweat in places
I didn't know I could!
The heat finally made me swell!
Not to much, but I could see it and feel it!
My ankles and hands were so achy!
This ring indent was from Sunday (today)
Saturday it was worse! I could hardly get my rings off!
31 weeks. I go to the doctor this week, so I am nervous to see my weight gain.
I am feeling it so much right now in my face! Maybe the heat is just making me feel horrible!
because, this is basically how I feel!
We went to a thrift store yesterday to look at some things and I found they have
great deals on baby clothes in good condition!
50 cents for an outfit! You can't beat that?
total cost for 4 outfits $2.00
Very excited to meet this little girl! As time is coming closer I am starting to get things ready!
I am excited for my upcoming baby shower, plus my mom will be here for it!

Week 30!

Finally made it to week 30. Seems like a huge milestone.
Only because there are 10 weeks left! 10 weeks! She could survive if she were to be born today!
She would be pretty itty bitty. It's crazy to think that her face is developed and she is a little mixture of Broc and I! It just want to peek inside my tummy and see her cute little face, hands, and feet!
Making her appearance at 30 weeks...
Mostly likley weighing in at 3 lbs
Measuring about 15-16 inches!
We had a doctors appointment this week. We have been going every 2 weeks!
No problems :)
They say the 1st and the 3rd trimester are the hardest.
The first wasn't horrible. I had some morning sickness most days, but not the "throwing up in the toilet" morning sickness.
I think the toughest part was all the ear infections and sinus infections..and the flu I kept getting! The second trimester was good to be.
I didn't gain to much weight, still sleeping on my stomach, and fitting into my clothes
Now, that I have hit the third trimester..
I can feel my energy dying.
Things are getting harder
My back kills me!
I live to sleep! I love it! I think I sleep pretty great most nights. I have gotten used to sleeping on my side, especially when I shove a pillow or blanket under my belly to support it! I supposed there are only a few weeks left and I better make the most of it!
I have officially hit the nesting state I think! I am always wanting to clean, fold, and look at baby stuff! We were given clothes by Broc's co worker and I finally went through them, washed them, and put them up!
So cute and fun to have clothes in her room! I can't wait for more!
This past weekend we went to register at Walmart and Target..
We weren't sure what we needed...so we just scanned everything we saw basically.
It's 10:47 pm and this is way past my bed time.
My favorite part of the night is getting in my bed with my cold sheets and blanket..
and turning on my heating pad on my back after a long day of back pain.
That is what I am of to do!

Life at twenty one.

I had always dreamed but never really thought at 21 I would

be sealed to by best friend in the temple for eternity.


be paying off our very own home
have the great job that I do-have the chance to work under great doctors and learn so much from them

and expecting our first child in 9 weeks!

I always tried to imagine what my life would be like
when I "grew up."
I had no idea it would be this great.
oh. and it's mostly because of this guy right here...

Week 29

Week 29. Just about 10 more weeks to go!
It's crazy how fast it goes by.
This week hasn't been to bad.
Feeling a little puffy in the face...
Noticed some weight gain...
typical pregnancy right?
We tried some yard selling this weekend to find some things but we didn't find anything but old people selling "antiques."
We did go to a yard sell and it ended up being Broc's co-worker who was selling a bunch of baby items..clothes mostly!
We ended up picking through some and got a good deal...
Later that afternoon he texted Broc and said I have two trash bags full if you wife doesn't want them I'm just going to take them to the DI.
So we took them! Free clothes? Heck yes! I think we will be set on clothes for a while with this bag and then the bag Broc's sister is bring down when she comes to visit!
2 years worth of her little girl clothes!
So thankful for all the free items! Being pregnant is so stressful sometimes.

My time for working is ending soon..My last day of work is Aug, 31...if I go that long.
I worry about insurance, bills, food, and ect.
I guess that never ends!
Well, thats it for this week.

Putting my shoes on is getting harder
Shaving my legs...impossible
Seeing my legs while standing...impossible
Have a great week!
