Lots to catch up on!!!

The Zoo!

Yup.. We finally made it to the zoo!! We got up and went a couple saturdays ago. I really didn't want to miss out and not have the time before the baby came. It was so much fun! We went pretty early so there wasn't to much craziness there. He learned to say Bear among many other things. :) We will for sure have to go again!

Time for a break! I'm tired. lol

Gavin's New Bike!

Ya i know.. he can ride a bike now! Where did this come from! But he is doing it and a part of me gets so excited when these new things start happening and another just wants to cry cuz its going by so fast. We went to target and let him pick it out... daddy put it together for him and he loved it! It's a little hard on our block though cuz the road is slanted to its a little frusterating for him. Other than that he has got it down. such a stud.

Fathers Day!

My amazing hubby! Happy fathers day to him! We spent the weekend at the beach then came home for the sunday. I got him a Bonzai tree! And made him this candy gram poster wich was awesome! lol It was really fun coming up with the poem. And of course I'm eating all the candy! hahahahah Good times. :)

Pregnancy wise., .. Baby and I are both doing very good. I am really ready to be done though. I am so uncomfortable.. Can't sleep or really move right now. Lots of cramping and baby kicking as hard as he can.. what a strong little guy we are going to have soon! I am hoping for an early delivery though.. My plan is to have the baby by aug 10th! lol so we will see. But he is so big. and i can just tell me is going to be ready before my due date. I really hope im right. Gavin is handling it pretty good. He is so good for me. I just love him. He is kinda getting annoyed that my tummy is so big and we can't cuddle as much.. but not too much longer! Oh man.. i can not wait! and neither can Brandon. We are both so ready for this long emotional ride to come to and end, and very.. nervous.. excited.. all of the above. sooon soon!

Fun In The Sun!

Baby Fever and mOrE!

So i have been having BABY FEVER! Im getting very anxcious and excited for our new baby boy to get here. I'm feeling like 11 more weeks is way to long! But I just need to relax.. patients i can do.. most the time! lol This little guy in my belly is a mover.. all the time! I was sitting on the couch last night and brandon and me were watching my stomach literally shaking he was moving so fast. Brandon got kinda sick and had to stop watching haha. My lower back hasn't really eased up.. it is kinda hurting more every week. I had my OB app. yesterday and I have gained 6 pounds in 3 weeks! go baby go! :) Looks like we will have ourselves a very healthy boy. I have been having a lot of cramps which is probably from him growing, but it almost feels like braxton hicks.. maybe it is.. im not sure. Sleep is getting rough in the night.. and the potty runs are often! like really often all night. But i need to get used to waking up. Gavin is so good with his sleep schedule i'm not used to waking up at all anymore.. so its preparing me.

The list is getting done!! I have a long list in my head of what needs to be done before baby gets here, and brandon is being so awesome doing the majority of it cuz i can't. Such a good hubby.

All thats left: back yard work and finish the nursery!

I think i will survive this summer! It hasn't been as hot as normal.. lucky me. But i still cant wait for it to be over so i can meet this baby!!! It finally hitting me we will have another child with us. But not tooooo fast ;) Gavin needs his mommy time

Placenta Previa.. and More

So as everyone probably knows i found out i had placenta previa when i was 20 weeks. It was "full" placenta previa which means it is covering the cervix completely. I had my doctors appointment yesterday and she said the chances of a full previa moving are less likely but yes it still could happen. She prep me for the idea of c-section and that we would have the baby at 36 weeks. I wont lie.. c-section scares the crap out of me, but if its for the health of me and my baby then I'm all for it. So the ultrasound is Tuesday!! June 1st. If it is still the same then i will be on partial bed rest until we have the baby. Ill have an appointment once a week to check everything, make sure I'm not contracting and don't know it. .. etc. (If it has moved.. then I'm totally going to go exercise right after i find out! ha ha) I have been being careful.. i cant exercise or lift things heavier than Gavin.. which is fine.. it hasn't been too bad. I just know if i go on bed rest and have a c-section I'm going to be full of energy when i can finally do things! So that's the down low on this pregnancy. The weeks are going by really fast, and all i can think is Gavin is going to be two and we might have a baby all in the next 2 1/2 months! so crazy. I have gained 34 pounds so far! Ya i know its a lot.. you should see my belly! ill post a pic later on today when Brandon can take one for me.

So it could just maybe be my last weekend I'm aloud to go out and about and play with Gavin.. etc. So we might be heading to the zoo! I have been wanting to take Gavin for a while now, so that has to get done asap!

Any advice for staying calm about a c-section? I'm a little freaked out. (that's an understatement!)

Is it crazy he is doing so much now!.. eating on his own.. goes to sleep on his own.. can almost change himself and put his shoes on by himself.. I can't believe what a cute boy we have!! Gavin goes to sleep so good. He piles up all his blankets in the crib in one big pile.. lays on it and goes to sleep! lol how funny is that! Me and brandon are always saying he is too cute we cant stand it!!! Having another one is going to be amazing. I cant wait!!

post prego body goal!

So on our second anniversary last July we went to Seattle for the weekend i got this adorable kinda skimpy tight dress i wore for our dinner out.. and i love it! lol I'm not going to lie this is one of the rare days i was feeling cute! yay! So now this dress is my goal.. i want to be able to fit into this after every pregnancy. I'm actually thinking its possible so stay positive. I gained about 45 pounds with Gavin and this was obviously after i had him.. so if i did it then i can do it after this little guy gets here too! So I'm just posting the picture pretty much for myself.. to keep me motivated.. that i can have my body back. Lol I am enjoying this pregnancy very much, but it is definatly different then the last. I got big really really quick... everywhere.. hips boobs.. mostly boobs. .. and baby tummy. I think that's why i feel like i have been pregnant longer CuZ everything happened a lot faster. So it makes me excited to get back into shape!!

Hawaii trip!

A short and sweat post! So last week we went on a trip to hawaii!! With me and brandon and my sister brittany and her husband jeff. we did alot and it was so nice to relax!! I missed gavin more than ever, but i tried my hardest to just have fun! So glad we went!! here is a few pics.

pregnancy wise.. im feeling exhausted! It's getting really hard to have no energy all the time. I love being preggers though, i can't wait to have this baby and be able to give all my energy and fun to them.. i think gavin is getting deprived of mommy fun! lol but i am trying. 4 more weeks and we will know if i still have placenta previa! fingers crossed!

The cutest picture

OH BOY BOY BOY! & Scares

We are having A BOY! how funny is that! In the back of my mind i have always thought how i would be the mom with a bunch of boys and they would all love me so much! haha But i gotta admit my gut was saying girl this time. But now that im over the fact its NOT a girl lol i am very excited to have another little man running around here soon.

So we go into the ultrasound and i have the same lady every time, she is really nice and her baby is due two days before mine. So we have lots to talk about. We told her when we went in there how we were wanting a girl this time!! So as soon as the baby popped up we saw something.. but i was like "so let us know if its a girl or a boy cuz i dont know really what im looking at right there".. she is liek "kristy ....... it's a boy." OFCOURSE!!! lol how could i have thought different. Ofcourse gavins little brother is comming to us... how could i have thought girl. So i laughed for a few min and was really shocked. It took a few min for it to sink in for both me and brandon.

She did a 3D ultra sound too which was amazing. I can't believe how good we could see him. He is so cute.. long fingers.. cute button nose just like gavin.. i was having dejavu! But this isnt Gavin its a totally different person in there. Yay! We got alot of really good pictures. .. he was moving around a ton a ton. Well here are the pics of this adorable baby boy! see you in 5 months little man!

Yesterday i got a call from the doctor saying i have Placenta Previa. How stressful.. It's where the placenta is below the baby instead of above and can cause major problems... aka.. contracting any day or bleeding a lot that can be fatal. (worse case of course) So we need to hope this placenta moves asap! I'll be having another ultrasound at 28 weeks to see if it has moved.. if not then they give me medicine for the baby's lungs to develop faster and we plan for a 36 week c section! So much to think and stress about. We are just hoping it will move right away and everything will be fine. But it still is hard not to think of what could happen. So im taking it easy and trying to relax and not life gavin too much. I just want this little baby boy to be strong and healthy and that is my main concern.. i just need to get to 36 weeks to get that dang c section if it doesn't move. Wish us luck and keep us in your prayers.
