On Sunday, we had what I am hoping is our last maternity photo shoot (I am so ready for newborn photos now!).  Come out Baby F, mommy & daddy are ready to meet you, amongst many other people including: your Grandma/Grandpa Snowden, Grammy & Papa, Auntie Kimber, Auntie Shan, Auntie Chell, Auntie Patty, several Uncles, great grandparents, numerous friends, other family members... oh the list goes on & on!

I digress, back to the photos--what a fun shoot!

I think they turned out pretty nice!  Our photographer is definitely starting to get better at his photography skills and we've become more relaxed with him as we've worked together.

Yesterday was our 37 week appointment at the doctor.  Not much new to share.  Mommy is weighing in at 119!  That's a gain of 22 pounds--not bad considering they gave me a goal of 25-30 at the beginning of the pregnancy.  Depending on how long Baby F stays in there, I may just make it!  HA!

Baby had a nice strong heart beat and mommy's tummy grew another cm, so he is making some progress still!  Putting on those finishing touches, perhaps?!  

The doctor said the contractions I have been experiencing are wonderful (maybe to him!).  He said it is a sign that my uterus is definitely preparing itself for labor.  He also said he will allow me to go a maximum of 4 more weeks before he would induce.  Mommy more than anyone else would LOVE it if Baby F decided to come before then.  Not only am I uncomfortable, but I'd really prefer my body and Baby F do this on their own--when and how it was intended to be.  I am a natural-type gal, so going into labor naturally would be ideal, but I am sure I won't complain in a month if I do need some type of intervention!

Finally, I hate to overload everyone on photos, but our photographer has been super busy so I am posting some we took out at Pismo around 34 weeks (almost a month ago!).  There is a lot of history between us at Pismo, so we chose to do a few photos out there.  Although it may not have made the best backdrop, they have great meaning to us.
I think I will go back to 34 weeks and add these to the blog so they are all in order.  But, I wanted to post them here so everyone gets to enjoy them (and it is nice to see our progress over the past month!). 

Well I feel like I have overwhelmed the blog with enough information and photos for now (besides Baby F and mommy are hungry again).  We'll keep you posted on our progress... check back soon!

Just a reminder to get your guesses in at the Baby Pool:

Therapy...

By
Not being silent about our loss is looking to be the best therapy for me during this difficult time. Through Facebook I've had countless friends reach out to me and share their stories of loss. Although it doesn't make me feel better, as we're talking about too many babies in heaven, it does make me feel less alone. So I was diagnosed w/ blighted ovum. Meaning the gestational sac and placenta was growing inside of me (the ultrasound showed it was indeed around 7 weeks along) but the baby stopped developing and was reabsorbed into my uterus. Problem is, the placenta is responsible for pregnancy symptoms, so my body still thinks it is pregnant, but there is no longer a baby or embryo. So, until I actually miscarry the tissue, I will feel pregnant. I don't know how to explain how I've been feeling the past few weeks. At first I thought it was just my uneasy feelings of this pregnancy being "unplanned" and so close to my previous pregnancy. It took me a wh...

25 Weeks & Doctor's Appt.

By
We hit the 25 week mark today!  Hard to believe!  Time is flying so fast... We had our doctor's appointment today (Kevin is out of town Thursday, so we moved it up).  I weighed in at a whopping 109.8!  My nurse and my doctor's response was they are so so proud of me (I felt so special!  Who would have thought GAINING weight would be so exciting?!).  Kevin's response "WHOA!"  And my response to his "WATCH IT Buddy!"  Ha!  So that's almost 14lbs of weight gain!  I really am quite proud of myself... never thought I could do it (although, I spend most of my time eating these days, so it makes sense). The nurse said I "look cute, am starting to show and have that pregnancy waddle."  Considering I did not feel like I was waddling (sometimes I have to because my tailbone hurts so bad) I was not exactly thrilled about this comment, lol!  I asked Kevin if there is something he is forgetting to tell me... ha! The doctor measured my...
