Welcome to The Momma Tribe!

On Saturday we got to celebrate and prepare for mister man's grand entrance at my mom's house. It was way better and cuter than I could have ever imagined. My mom and "second momma" hosted it and they did amazing! It was turtle themed and absolutely adorable! My mom made most of the food and Susan made the cutest cupcakes with personal little toppers that were perfect!  Confetti Cupcakes, my all time favorite! Our wedding cake was confetti :]  Probably my favorite decoration :]  Yes those are UNLV onesies and I CANNOT wait to take the baby to the games!  Nu'u made an appearance to open a "daddy doody survival kit" that my best friend made for him!  The older I get the more I look just like her <3

It feels like forever since I have written about anything other than weekly (biweekly) updates. Here is why: Gestational Diabetes Gestational diabetes develops during pregnancy (gestation). Like other types of diabetes, gestational diabetes affects how your cells use sugar (glucose). Gestational diabetes causes high blood sugar that can affect your pregnancy and your baby's health. As much as I LOVE blogging and let it be my escape from life and troubles, the hardest time to write is when exactly that is happening.....life and troubles. I went in for a somewhat normal check up with my midwife and had to take what they call a glucose tolerance screening. Thinking that I would be absolutely fine I went in, drank some juice, waited an hour in the office, then had blood drawn. They told me that if anything was wrong they would contact me within a couple days. When I went in a week later to pick up a paper to take to get my rhogam shot, the girl that helped me at the fr

How far along? 34 Weeks and 1 Day Baby is the size: Butternut Squash! Maternity clothes? Can't live without em. Not actually quite sure why I never wore them before I got pregnant....they are some of the comfiest things I've ever worn! haha Sleep: Killing me. I can't sleep longer than maybe 2 hours without having to get up to pee or toss and turn to get comfy again. Best moment this week: Baby Shower! Saturday we got to celebrate this little guy coming in to the world at my mom's house and it was an absolute blast! There were quite a few people there and mister man got TONS of stuff!  Missing Anything? Being able to walk without a waddle.....My husband has much too good of a time making fun of me though. Movement? He never ever ever ever stops dancing! He is SO strong and those shots to the ribs never get easier! haha But it makes me happy because I know that mean he is healthy and happy! Food Cravings? CAFE RIO! Holy hannah that place will know me by first

How far along?  32 Weeks and 3 days! Baby is the size: SQUASH! Maternity clothes? I had to go out and get myself a couple more things this week while my husband was out of town hunting! It made me feel better :] Sleep: I can't sleep. More than maybe 2 hours at a time. Best moment this week: 4 lbs and 4 oz! That is  what  this little man weighed in this last monday  through an ultrasound. My baby center app that rang in thursday to tell me that "baby" is about 3.75 lbs and I finally got to tell my husband that he was right all those times he said "he's probably way bigger than what they say!" haha it was an exciting thing to hear and know considering our last ultrasound was 20 weeks and all we really got from that was everything was on track and looking good!  Missing Anything? Yeah my brain? I don't know how many appointments I have been late for or completely forgot after looking at my  calendar  just an hour or 2 before. It is RIDICULOUS! This

How far along? 30 Weeks exactly! Baby is the size: Head of cabbage or as long as a cucumber!  Maternity clothes? Can't live without em. Now I'm even getting to a point where some of maternity clothes are too tight. BLEH! Sleep: Still sleeping okay. Waking up every few hours to adjust and/or pee. Best moment this week: Getting the last bits of baby shower planning done! Andddd, getting our house painted and situated! Missing Anything?  Not waddling? haha My husband likes to remind me every time he's walking behind me that I am waddling. It's awesome. Movement? Constantly! There are few minutes in a day that I don't feel him moving around Food Cravings? Not really. Just food. In general. haha It's been super hot in vegas and been messing with my appetite because I am so hot and uncomfortable that most times I do not feel like eating.. Feeling Sick? Not at all. Hot? Totally different story...Being pregnant in the summer in vegas is kind of unreal..
