First Day of Pre-K

Yesterday, Landry started her first day of pre-k. I was a little nervous about how this day would go. You see, usually she doesn't do well with change. She is not my child in that respect. And with all the change going on in her little life lately, I was anxious to see how she would do in a new class with a new teacher and new friends.

She seemed pretty excited yesterday morning as we were getting ready, and wanted to pick out her outfit. She loves to wear dresses, and usually for school I don't let her, but today was special so she got to. 

When I picked her up yesterday, she said she had a great day. That she liked her teacher and made some new friends in class. 

When daddy got home, he had brought her a surprise! She loved the flowers. She wanted to put them in water and display them in her room. 

When we sat down for dinner last night, she told us all about her day and her new friends and was super happy. I'm so glad! I've prayed for a while now for this to go well, and it looks like it is!

33 weeks

 

How far along? 33 Weeks

 

Size of the Bambino? The size of a Pineapple.  This week at my sonogram he weighed 5 and a half pounds, if he keeps this up, he’ll be here in no time!

 

Maternity Clothes? Yep.  Although, I’m still finding it hard to cover this big belly.

 

Weight Gain? 26 pounds and holding!

 

Stretch Marks? Not yet

 

Gender? It’s a Boy!  

 

Name? We still have it narrowed down to two names.  Now we are deciding on a middle name and which one it sounds better with.  

 

Sleep? I’m still getting up twice a night to pee.

 

Cravings? Nothing really this week.  I did have some sushi (cooked of course!) the other day because it sounded so yummy!

 

What I Miss? Walking without a waddle!

 

Symptoms? Still having severe back pain, but my sweet husband bought me a maternity band and back pillow, and that has really helped me at work.

 

Belly Button? In (but, I can tell it is almost ready to pop!)

 

Best Moment- The best moment this week was on Saturday morning.  Angel needed to go to her yearly vet appointment, so Tim thought Landry would love going, which he was right about, and took her for the morning Saturday.  Then they dropped Angel back off at the house and went to run some errands and bring me lunch.  It was so nice just having that time to myself.  I don’t get it very often.  I ended up finishing his curtains for his room, and after that, we just have a few more things to finish, and the nursery will be done!

32 Weeks

            How far along? 32 Weeks

 

Size of the Bambino? The size of a Bok Choy.  Because of some issues, I’ve been having weekly sonograms and I have loved getting to see his sweet face every week.  He weighed 5 pounds this week already!  

 

Maternity Clothes? Yep.  I broke down this week and fell into a puddle in the middle of my closet.  My belly is so large, that even my normal maternity shirts are starting to get too small.  I’ve resorted to dresses as shirts!

 

Weight Gain? 26 pounds  

 

Stretch Marks? Not yet

 

Gender? It’s a Boy!  

 

Name? I think we have finally narrowed it down to two names!  Tim has said both names are good, now it’s just up to me to decide between them.  

 

Sleep? I’m still getting up twice a night to pee, but I fall back asleep pretty easily.

 

Cravings? I really wanted fried pickles the other day, and got them.  They were so good!  I have noticed lately though that my stomach cannot handle too much food.  I get full so easily.

 

What I Miss? Wearing cute clothes!  Don’t get me wrong, I love maternity clothes as much as the next gal, but I’m ready for normal clothes again.  

 

Symptoms? Still having severe back pain, but my swelling has gone down.  I feel like I’m in the home stretch now.  

 

Belly Button? In (but, I can tell it is almost ready to pop!)

 

Best Moment- This week the best moment came on a random day at a random time.  Landry has been super protective of me lately.  She knows mommy is not feeling 100%, and always makes sure I’m doing ok, and that I feel ok.  The other day, I bumped my stomach on a chair getting out of it, and she ran to my side and said “is my baby brother ok?”  So sweet.  She just always wants to make sure we are doing good.  I love that kid so much!
