Belly Shots {37 Weeks}

Full Term.

At 37 weeks I am officially full term.

It's kinda weird, suddenly all the "doctors orders" have changed.

Everything that was bad before 37 weeks, is now considered good. Like contractions. Those are a good thing now. YUCK! They are no longer a horrible sign that could mean a premature baby. Now they are very normal {although painful and uncomfortable} signs of labor.

And labor is a good thing now. Although in my case {no matter how terribly sick I am of being pregnant} I really want him to stay in there for a few more weeks.

And my doctor says things like "Everything looks great Kim, we'll see you next week... if your still pregnant then."

Weird.

I was beginning to think {as was Mitcheal} that I was not going to get around to taking another belly shot picture of me {and us}.

I really haven't been in the mood to take any pictures. And you know Mitch is NEVER in the mood to take these pictures with me, which is why I was shocked that he hounded me about it so much.

But yesterday I just did it!!! I got out the damn tripod, and we took the pictures.

All done.

I wanna get all the ones we took together, maybe make them black and white, and edit them some, and frame them in colorful frames for Riley's room. There are 5 total, from 13 weeks to 37 weeks. I think they'll look nice framed in there. We did a different pose together every time. And even though Mitch threw a big fit every time we took the pictures, I'm REALLY glad we did the "us" pictures along with the "me" pictures. When all is said and done, they are something that I really like having. And I think he does too!!

Anyways, here they are.

Me....



And us.



And since they are the last ones, I thought I'd throw in a couple other ones that I liked.



Including one where I'm actually looking at the camera!



So that's it. Babes is up, so maybe I'll see if he wants to detail the car today. So we can install the car seat.

Belly Shots {30 Weeks}

Hi!!!!!!

I missed last month belly shots. So I have NONE {zero, zilch, nothing} for 6 months, so so sad!!!

Oh well. Here is 30 weeks {aka 7 months}.




I painted the nursery, and re-finished a dresser {for Riley's nursery of course!} I had my baby shower, made a darling bulletin board, shopped, and more! Plus I finally got a new camera!!!

So I'll be posting pictures and stuff soon. But I wanted to quickly get this posted, since tomorrow I will be 31 weeks! I am getting so close!!! :o)

Belly Shots {22 Weeks}

I have seriously been neglecting my blog! I'm SOOOO sorry! I have been busy cleaning, organizing, decorating, and crafting. And I have NO plans whatsoever to stop. I have so much to do before Riley gets here. But I will try to share what I'm doing a little more!!! :o)

I even slacked off on taking my belly shot. It's 2 weeks late. OOPS!!! But I got it in under the 5 month mark. So my plan to take one every month is still in tact.

Here is 22 Weeks!!!!!





I am totally getting bigger. I'm MORE than halfway there.

Our little guy has been quite active the past few days. And Daddy finally got to feel him kick this morning. A bunch of times! He has been asking me "when??" everyday. And patiently putting his hand on my belly, hoping the little guy will cooperate. Mitch wasn't home last night when Riley was doing his thing. And I was bummed, because I just knew it would finally be strong enough to be felt on the outside too.

So this morning when I was telling Mitch about it, he started up again. I told him to just rest his hand there, and wait. He didn't feel the first two movements. But then on the third one, he looked at me before I said anything, and told me that he felt him!!! He was right. Then the little boy went crazy with the acrobatics.
He really made mommy and daddy smile today! :o)

Belly Shots {16 Weeks}

I am super duper tired. My two latest pregnancy symptoms are {1} I've become a very light sleeper, if I can sleep at all, and {2} I'm itchy, really really itchy, all over, but especially my tummy.

And of course I still have much of the others. I'm gassy, I pee A LOT, I'm hormonal and get upset easily, I'm always hungry {California rolls at the sushi bar in the Atlantis are the yummiest} my sciatic nerve has become my worst enemy, and I'm clumsy, like falling down the stairs clumsy {which I did do last week, and got to take a fun trip to the ER, I'll tell you more in a later post, don't worry, I'm OK}.

But in fabulous news, my nausea is GONE, all gone!!! WooHOO!!! And my boobies aren't quite as sore, plus I finally got Mitch to admit yesterday that they have grown! Too bad they won't stay grown!!

So , before you think I forgot, here is my latest belly shots.

16 Weeks!!!



And here I once again got "Daddy to be" participation! Hehe, I LOVE it!



Anywhoo, I decided against weekly belly pictures {did I mention that already?} And opted instead for one every 3 or 4 weeks. So the next one will be at 20 weeks! The halfway point! YeeHAW!

Before I go, I wanted to say that I've been waiting to feel the baby move. And everyday I wonder if what I'm feeling in my tummy is the baby or something else. Well, yesterday while watching House with Mitch, I felt a movement slightly to my right side, right where the baby would be, and I just knew. There was no question. I reached down and touched the spot, and smiled. It was so natural. I love the little booger so much already.

Belly Shots {13 Weeks}

Hi! Just a quick post to share my first belly shots! I'm gonna try to post one every week from here on out. I couldn't make myself take them before, but I made it to my second trimester {yippee, I know!!} So I thought I better get started on documenting my growing belly!

So here is 13 weeks!!!



Since I can no longer fit in my regular clothes, me and Mitch went shopping after my ultrasound yesterday and I bought some maternity clothes. Cute huh??

And check out this pic I got Mitch to do with me!



I love it! So so sweet!!!

He agreed to take one every month for the rest of my pregnancy.

Anyhoo, I am tired. So tired I even took a nap today. So a quick little snack then I'm off to bed.

I'll be posting again soon though! I have new ultrasound pics to share. And some little updates! But in the meantime, me and baby are great! I'm so happy I could burst, and I hope all my bloggy friends are good too! :o)
