35 Weeks Bump Update

Pregnancy

30 Apr

I’ve been a super slacker guys, please don’t kill me! These last few weeks I have started to become SO tired all over again, it feels like I’m repeating the first trimester without all of the morning sickness. It’s been pretty rough to get anything done. At first, I was beating myself up for not accomplishing as much work as I wanted to, but I soon realized that I won’t be able to rest like this for much longer. I’m trying to enjoy each and every day, take it slow, nap and sleep when I can, and just be in the moment. We got our maternity pics done a few weeks ago too. I don’t have them all back, but I’ll share a sneak peek!

Size of baby: Layla is the size of a bunch of carrots and about 5.5 pounds! She’s around 18-19 inches long at this point too. I can’t believe she’s almost the size she will be at her birth.

Weight gain: I started off well, but by now I’ve gained about 20 pounds. I was feeling a bit bummed about that, but my husband reminded me I am growing a human being! Luckily it’s all just really in my belly.

Symptoms: The heartburn is still killing me like a MF, but thankfully taking Zantac helps a lot. I hate having to rely on medicine like that, but it gets so bad and makes me absolutely miserable, so medication it is. I wonder if Layla will be a little chewbacca with tons of hair on her head. I’m also getting pretty uncomfortable and developing sciatica. It hurts my lower back and thighs, but I started to go to a chiropractor this week and hopefully that helps. Also, warm-up contractions have been happening!

Cravings: I know I’m not supposed to have this too often, but I have been LOVING tuna subs lately! I have to eat one a week to curb this odd craving of mine.

Nursery Update: It’s been done for awhile, but like I said I’ve been lazy lately, so I have yet to do a full reveal. I wanted to fine tune everything and get it all nice and clean, so hopefully within the next week or two the full reveal blog post will be up!

Pregnancy item I am loving this week: I bought this belly band which lifts up my belly and helps a lot with the pressure.

1 Moment I loved this past week: Just chatting with my husband about how soon it won’t be just the two of us anymore! We are soaking up this time together, since the last 9.5 years it’s just been him and I. It feels weird knowing we will have to share one another with our little babe soon!

1 Thing I did for myself this week: I bought some new clothes! I needed some nursing friendly shirts and some new sweatpants. I rarely ever buy clothes for myself anymore. Even though I bought them for me to nurse Layla in, it still felt nice to buy some new clothes! Also, after going back and forth, I finally decided to give in and buy a gorgeous Baby Tula woven carrier from their special release yesterday. I am so excited to get it and wear my baby girl in it! I’m going to be sharing all about my baby wearing journey very soon of course.

our time together as a family is a gift. and i wil our time together as a family is a gift. and i will never forget 6 years ago pleading to god to make us parents. he delivered 🙏🏼 and gave us four of the most beautiful children i could have ever imagined. 📸 @sadiecooperphotography
August 1st at 9:56am our Jaxson Jeremy was born at August 1st at 9:56am our Jaxson Jeremy was born at home, weighing in at 11 pounds!! 😍😅 ELEVENNNN pounds. Lol. We are all doing so well now, resting and settling into being a family of 6. 🫶🏻 I’m not quite ready to share our birth story just yet as we had some complications, but when the time is right I’ll record a YouTube video and share all the details. Until then, we’re soaking up all the newborn snuggles with our littlest love. Forever blessed for my growing family and the ability to birth these beautiful humans.
Yet again another child to be born after my “due Yet again another child to be born after my “due date” 🤪 Trusting in God’s timing is not always easy, but I’m trying. 💙 Dalton was my longest pregnancy at 43 weeks; this little guy better not make us wait another 2 weeks though! 😅 Layla was 40+5 (induced) and Gabby was 39 weeks (csection) 

Ready for another beautiful home birth, whenever Jaxson is ready. 🫶🏻 At what gestation were your babes born?!
38 weeks with my little Jaxson Jeremy 💙 it’s 38 weeks with my little Jaxson Jeremy 💙 it’s crazy as I have more kiddos how fast the pregnancies go. I feel like I blinked and we’re almost here. Now to getting my ducks in a row! I’ve been nesting like crazy, deep cleaning my house, tending to the garden and just have to get my freezer meals prepped and I’ll be ready *i think* 😅 It’s funny because Dalton didn’t come until I was 43 weeks which is literally 5 more weeks from now…. I just might melt from the summer’s heat if I have to wait another 5 weeks 🤣 But for real, babies come when they are ready. No crazy natural inductions happening over here. Just patience. However, we’re ready whenever you are, my little man 🫶🏻
Garlic has quickly become one of my favorite thing Garlic has quickly become one of my favorite things to grow! Set it and forget it! I planted my garlic in October & it will be ready to harvest in July. Using the scapes in recipes is a great way to add garlic flavor and utilize the garlic before it’s ready to harvest. I planted both hard neck and soft neck, so I will save the hard neck varieties over the Fall/Winter and use the soft neck fresh. Have you ever planted garlic before?!
