Wintermelon

Thursday, March 28, 2013


Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 37 Weeks (3/28/13)
Size of baby: 19.25 inches and about 6.3 pounds! Right now our baby is the size of a Wintermelon!
Total Weight Gain/Loss: +/- 37 pounds
Maternity Clothes: I'm definitely wearing maternity clothes!  The most comfortable thing to wear now are my sweatpants.
Gender: BOY!!...Wyatt Haischer Dorey!!
Movement: Wyatt has started digging into my sides pretty hard.  Sometimes I wonder how he gets so far over there.  
Food Cravings: Still no cravings
Food Aversion: No
What I miss: I could really use some Diet Dr. Pepper right about now!
Sleep: This week I have not been sleeping that great.  I just wake up very easily so I'm constantly having to try and go back to sleep.  I'm not sure if contractions are waking me up or just the constant feeling of "I'm about to pee!"
Symptoms: Some swelling in my hands and feet, back pain, braxton hicks contractions, some crazy numb/sore/burning feeling on my belly under my breasts,  acne (like I'm back in the first trimester) and lower pressure.
Best Moment this Week: Getting to spend some time with my mom and gramma. Also, we got all  almost all of the prints hung in Wyatt's room & the dresser is now in his room.  Now we just have to get the nobs put on....
What I am Looking Forward To: Looking forward to my last week at school with my kiddos and getting everything organized in Wyatt's room...again. :)

Girls Weekend

Sunday, March 24, 2013

So excited to have had a girls weekend!!  Mom came down while Sean went to NWA to backpack in the sleet and snow...who had more fun??  We hung out around the house and mom shot some maternity pictures for me.  We also ran a few errands in El Dorado and went and saw Oz.  We really enjoyed the movie!

Saturday my Gramma came down through on her way home from Texas.  It was her first time visiting and it was so nice having her here.  I was excited to be able to show her our house and little town.  It was pretty rainy so we were able to spend some quality time chatting.  I'm looking forward to her coming back down once Wyatt is here!!

Big Decision

Thursday, March 21, 2013

Sean and I have made a big decision regarding our lives once Wyatt is born...I'm going to be a stay-at-home mom!! I'm really looking forward to it and can't wait to spend my quality time with Wyatt.  I thoroughly enjoy my job but nothing beats being with my own!  It's something that I've always wanted to do and we're so blessed and fortunate that I'm able to do it.  Just wanted to share a little of our good news!
