35 weeks

Chinook wanted to be in this one too :)

I'm 35 Weeks!

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 35 weeks

Size of baby: the size of a coconut

Total Weight Gain/Loss: gained 8 lbs

Maternity Clothes: All Maternity, except for my scrub pants

Gender: It's a BOY! Easton Andrew Ginther

Sleep: Have to sleep with 4 pillows, and have been having some insomnia as of late. Super frustrating on all counts. My hips are also aching quite a bit so it's extremely hard to get comfortable.

What I miss: How easy it used to be to get off the couch, walking without pain, being able to eat a normal sized meal, and sleeping comfortably.

Cravings: Not a whole lot

Symptoms: Aching almost everywhere, heartburn, exhaustion.

Best Moment this week: Ordered some more things for the nursery! I love seeing it all come together! 

I'm starting to see the doctor every week now. In 2 weeks We'll get to have a sono to estimate how big Easton will be! I can't wait!

A Wonderful Surprise

Today I had one of my regular doctors appointments. I was expecting same old, same old, check my labs, blood pressure and weight, measure my ever-growing belly, ask me if I have any questions and send me on my way... All of those things happened, however the midwife decided to try to see if she could tell if Easton was head down or not. Based on where they hear the heart rate and just feeling around usually they can tell. Easton was being a little difficult and she said she thought he was head down but would like to do a sono just to make sure..... YAY! I tried not to jump out of my seat when she asked if I would mind having a sono done. I was so excited to see my little man! The last time we got to peak at him was for my anatomy sono 12 weeks ago! I was more than ready to see him again. Even though it was a super quick sono I got to see him and got a few pictures to keep. Happy Momma here :) Oh by the way, he is head down... Yay!

Here is our little man at 33 weeks 3 days

This past week Blake and I put together Easton's crib! His room is coming together! I love our crib and crib set and cannot wait to see everything all put together! Here are some pictures of the assembly process...

I've been working on staining some letters for Easton's nursery too. Here is the finished product. Still haven't decided how I want them on the wall...

And here are some recent pictures of the boys! Excited yet nervous to see what they do when they meet Easton! Just a few more weeks until we know!

Best Moment this week: Got the last pieces of our nursery ordered, and a bunch of other random baby things! So exciting!

Just for fun I thought I would add a little collage of some pregnancy weeks... This is 12 weeks, 20 weeks, 29 weeks, and 32 weeks. He sure is growing!

 

Scenic Drive

Today Blake and I went on the Spoon River Scenic Drive with some of his family! A bunch of the different towns in Knox County participate by setting up little tents and food stands. It's always a lot of fun. Here are pictures from today...

After the Scenic Drive, Blake's parents had a bonfire at their house and we cooked out. We had a good time!

Today some sirens went off in Mackinaw and the puppies decided to join in.
