Updates 8/11/10

I'm almost at 34 weeks. I am SO ready to be done being pregnant. Not so much for obvious reasons, but I am so ready to lose some weight. I am more determined than ever to get thin after this pregnancy. I have completely let myself go and every time I step on the scale at the dr. office I want to cry. *sigh* I am hoping that this baby will breast feed (Chloe did not do well at all with any type of feeding!) and I'm hoping that I get at least as lucky as I did last time. I lost all of my pregnancy weight from Chloe within weeks. I didn't LOOK good, but it was gone. I will have a wedding to be a part of literally days after the baby is born and it's bad enough that I'm going to be white ---- I can't still be a cow! So, does anyone have any good detox tips for me??

This kid moves around a LOT. I get really bad heartburn at night, just like with Chloe - so I'm not worried about a full head of hair. I like my babies bald :) He's head down now so I should be able to have a v-bac with no problem too. But we shall see.....

His room is not done yet, but much closer than it was. We have put up the crib and painted the walls. Shane is going to build a couple of cabinets and some box/baskets to put in them. We are putting off buying the last essentials until a little later but I can't wait to get everything put together. I am so not into the typical boy stuff of sports and car decor. I prefer just nice colors and simple accessories. Once we get some more done in there I'll take some pictures.

Speaking of pictures, my sister just got a new snazzy camera and she helped me take some pictures of Chloe last weekend. We haven't done any updated shoots for a while and we absolutely refuse to pay people to take pictures of us (no offense to photographers, it is just a waste of our money since we're on a budget!). So, we went up to Gardner Village and found some cute spots. Here are just a few that we took. She's starting to pose more than just be natural so we were having to fight with that a lot! Oh well.... she's still beautiful :)


She always makes this adorable scrunched up face, but I can never catch it on camera. This was the closest I could get!

  1. While reading your post you said so many things that I have gone through too.
    I know exactly how you feel when it comes to stepping on the scale. I felt the same way when I went to the Dr when I was pregnant. For me baby weight has been hard to get off but I hope you can be lucky. I want to be thinner and get into shape but it is so hard!
    Olivia didn't do well with breastfeeding so I never breastfed her. With Weston it was almost like I knew what to expect so it made it easier and I nursed him till he was 6 months.
    I hope your baby comes soon. I'm sure he will be so cute. Chloe sure is cute!
