Bumpdate..36 weeks!

Can't believe this is the LAST month I have of being pregnant with this sweet boy!! I'm soaking up every minute of it!! We are NOT ready for him to come yet... I still don't have diapers wipes bath stuff lotions powder bottles ect... We are going this weekend to the storage unit to find my bin of newborn clothes so I can wash those and get them hung up.. We have a car seat and we set up the swing but that's it! I feel like I still have months left .. But really we have weeks left! My baby shower is this Saturday so hopefully that will help me feel more ready!!! Had my 36 week appointment today and they did another ultrasound and he is still head down! Yay! Hopefully he stays that way these last few weeks!! My belly was measuring fine but I still haven't gained any weight?! My dr said I shouldn't worry.. But with ryker I gained soo much that it's hard for me not to stress that I've only gained 2 pounds this trimester.. And I haven't gained any in a while in like 5/6 weeks...Anyways.... Here's to hoping I stat to get more ready and prepared for this little guy to come!! 

San Diego!

Last week we were able to take a super fun week long vacation to San Diego with Jeff's family! It was so relaxing to stay in a beach house on the beach... Ryker LOVED the beach an playing with his cousins.. And we also had fun doing activities like sea world and the African safari.. Mormon battalion and visiting the San Diego temple!! 

The view from our patio 

We took family pictures on the beach... Of coarse ryker didn't want to cooperate!

This boy loved the water

Goodbye May!

Im so excited for May to be over!!! We are now one month closer to being with Jeff again!!! Here's some highlights of May....

Ryk LOVES to water all the plants in my dads backyard when we go over there

I can't get over the way he crosses his legs in his car seat..

Jeff went with his church group and did a session at the San Antonio Temple

Lots of pool time.. Trying to stay cool in this 100 degree weather already!!

We make nightly park visits to get his energy out..

Ryker followed these girls around.. Gettin his flirt on..

He always asks to sit on the bikes out in front of Walmart.. He'll get one once we get stationed somewhere ;)

Jeff spent Memorial Day weekend with Ryan and Tiff.. They made a trip to Austin and saw the capital

My hair is finally long enough to do the side braid.. That's a big accomplishment for my hair ;)

I love this sweet boy 

33 weeks!

I can't believe I'll be "full term" in just one short month! I'm hoping with our week long trip to San Diego this weekend.. It will help time fly by even quicker ;) today I had my appointment and they did a super quick ultrasound to check head placement.. He was head down.. Now I'm just hoping he stays that way!! They check again at my next appointment (36 weeks) then we move on to the dreded cervix checks! Ahh! Crazy! I was sad all I could see today was the top of his head and we saw his spine and his heart beating! I was hoping to get a glance at his sweet face.. Hand.. Foot.. Anything ha ha and I was really hoping they would measure him and give me a guess at how big he was.. But that didn't happen either! Oh well!! So far I'm a little overjoyed that I've only gained 2 pounds in 7 weeks... And I'm sitting at a 30 pound gain so far! With ryk I gained at LEAST 50 pounds.. Not kidding.. So I'm happy with 30 pounds with only 7 weeks remaining! Hopefully I'll stay at the "average" gain per week from here on out! I think I was even happier because when I had my appointment mid-April the dr asked if I wanted to talk to a nutritionist because I gained quicker then they like to see... And I told her I gained a ton with ryk.. And she questioned why I didn't have gestational diabetis with ryk and I don't have it again.. So I'm glad to shove that and  my little weight gain lately in her face! 

Meanwhile.. I'm praying this baby is a late baby... Since they moved up Jeff's groups graduation to July 24th and I'm due July 22!!! And as long as he stays on track and doesn't get pushed back I want this baby to stay put until he graduates!!! Everyone pray with me ;) 

May

It's been hot off and on here so far.. It's supposed to be 102 on Friday.. Kill me now I can't do this summer pregnancy thing here ha! But here's some photos from what's been going on lately... 

My Mother's Day gifts Jeff surprised me with in the mail.. I would have rather had him show up on my door step instead!! 

Mother's Day

Ryks first corn on the cob ha

Missing...

Always missing the hubs! Can't believe we are creeping up on month 4 without him!! PRAYING we only have until the beginning of August for us to be all together again!! I miss laying in bed with him and just talking.. Or snuggling or hugs and kisses or seeing him with Ryker!!!! Please let time fly by!!! On a side note.. I'm so focused on not having Jeff that I don't focus on my pregnancy so it makes my pregnancy fly by ha 

When he got to hang out with Ryan and tiff 

Love my handsom sailor 

Baby Boy

Well.. I think with the majority of my time being spent as a "single mom" for now... And not having Jeff around to take weekly bump pictures.. I neglect to document this little one!!! 10 weeks left! That's just crazy to me!! I can't wait to meet him!! He is so much more active than I remember Ryker being in there! My favorite thing to do so far.. Is when I'm working on my tan in the backyard by the pool I lift up my tankini to try to tan my belly and you can see my belly dancing all over the place! He goes nuts when the sunlight is directly on my stomach!! He's super low.. Like ryk was.. Pretty sure I should buy one of those belly support things because I have the worst round ligament pains with him!!! Last week was the first time I felt him get the hiccups and I'm pretty sure he had them at like 3 in the morning this morning keeping me up!! Still have lots of heartburn (especially if I eat anything that involves a tomato) Can't live without my snoogle... Especially since I don't have Jeff to cuddle with in the middle of the night!!! Here's to hoping the next 2 months fly by!!! 

Last week (29 weeks)
