35 weeks

 

Today marks 35 weeks pregnant and 35 days until my due date!  My next appt is one week from today and then I go every week from here on out.  I can't believe how fast this is all happening.  88% done being pregnant!  As fast as it has gone, I can't wait for the baby to be here...I feel so uncomfortable all of the time, I'm ready for a normal body again!  And....I can't wait to go shopping!!  Sorry Brian :)

34 weeks

We are at the 34 week mark!!  

Getting very large.  it is hard to see but my stretch marks above my belly button from Sydney are very noticeable and stretched out :)  No new stretch  marks with baby #2 yet though.  No black line down the middle yet either!  And I think my belly button has officially popped!

33 weeks

 

Today marks 33 weeks of pregnancy.  49 days left until my due date.  83% complete with this pregnancy.  It can't come soon enough!  Last night I thought I was in labor.  The baby I swear was burrowing down trying to get out, my stomach was hard as a rock, and my lower back hurt so bad!  Nothing was working to get comfortable.  I took a hot shower and went to bed.  Today my back is achy but I think that is normal.  I have a feeling that this baby will not be overdue.  We'll see! 

Sydney is 2!!

Our baby girl is growing up and is 2 years old!  We celebrated her big day with family at our house.  She had so much fun.  Here are some pictures. 

 

Such a big girl!  She loved her streamers again this year. 

Eating lunch with JoJo and Alia. 

Her cake...yummy! 

Gotta have a pic with mom and dad!  She was more interested in snitching frosting off the cake.

 

still trying to snitch frosting!

 

 

Licking the icing.

yum!

She blew out her candles so good!

picture with her cousins.

She really got into opening presents this year!

Big Hugs Elmo kind of scared her a bit.  We are still trying to get her to give him hugs!

Sydney and Gama and Gapa Plucker

Sunday night Sydney helped me "decorate" cupcakes to bring to daycare.  She mostly ate the sprinkles. 

don't even try to hide it, I see the sprinkles on your mouth and hands!

 

 

This is a picture that I got from her daycare provider...she was treated like a princess on her birthday and was so happy! 

Halloween

Trick or Treat!  Sydney had so much fun practicing in our living room the minutes before we left the house.  

 

Trick or treating in our neighborhood.  She would go mute the minute the door was opened, but would always grab candy if they held their bowl out.  She wouldn't say thank you either.  Then they would shut the door and as we were walking away she would jabber away about candy, and trick or treat.  frustrating!  but she got lots of compliments on how cute she was and no one seemed to mind that she wouldn't speak! 


She wouldn't even say trick or treat at grandma and grandpa's house!  But she loved it there!


grabbing candy for her bucket.  grandma gave her a bag of sour gummy worms that she begs to eat almost every night after supper! 


Stopped by great grandma bert's house too!  Sydney got loaded up on unhealthy treats and healthy snacks here.  She also had a lot of fun playing with GG Bert's singing scarecrow.  Sydney LOVES scarecrows for some reason! 


The nightly event of picking out her after supper treat.  It's so hard for her to pick just one!  after she is done she always tries to sneak one more piece of candy out of us.  Usually she is pretty successful...she is so hard to say no to....especially when she knows to say "please!"

After trick or treating on halloween night. She had to sit on the stairs and look in her bucket.  she found some smarties so we didn't even make it all the way inside before she started eating her candy....someone has a MAJOR sweet tooth!  can't blame her...she got some good stuff! 

30 weeks

Time to start the 2 hand countdown!!  10 weeks left and Sydney is super happy!  (Must be the Halloween candy)

She is trying to stick her belly out like mine. 

Week 29

Week 29 with baby #2.  Brian was pretty much sleeping when he took this pic so that is why it is so blurry. 

 

 

Sydney loves the "nursery".  I think she thinks it is a playroom for her dolls.  Here she is reading her buffalo "buppalo" book to her baby.  She LOVES this book.  It is the last thing she says at night and the first thing she asks for in the morning.  it is a very stupid book, so Brian and I are over it already!!  last night Sydney fell out of bed at 4AM and when I was helping her get back in she asked if the buppalo was nigh night.  seriously child, just go back to sleep! 


The nursery is ready to go for baby #2!!  Just need to stock up on diapers and wipes and we will be set! 


Sydney likes to play with the baby toys.  Here she is picking one out for her baby. 

Weekend in Chamberlain

We spent this past weekend in Chamberlain with Brian's parents.  Brian did some hunting and Sydney had some quality time with Grandma! 

Decorating a 'punkin' just her size with markers.

 

Sydney LOVES markers!


We also took her over to the neighbors to ride horse.  Not quite sure at first.


I'm awfully high off the ground dad!


I'm scared!  She wanted down but we decided to ride it out for a bit. 



After a bit she was giggling on the horse.  Still wouldn't talk though!


We let her sit on this horse all by herself.  She did so good! 


Brian would ask her if she was all done or if she wanted more and she said more every time!  She liked it!
