Pregnancy Updates and More....

So over the last week or so Jasen and I have been contemplating several baby names that we like, we are in the process of narrowing down the ones we like, and then have decided to wait to see his face before we make our final decision.  Hard to believe that I am almost in my 8th month.  

We also have been going to some pregnancy classes which have not only been informative, but have also been a really great experience for Jasen and I to do together.  This week we have a Newborn Essentials class, and our 2nd birthing class.  I also got my glucose test back 2 weeks ago, and all is looking good! Thank goodness!! However, my iron was a little low...not too much to worry about, but I am increasing iron rich foods, and am taking an iron supplement to help. It comes with its own set of problems, so I am being sure to drink LOTS of water! :) 

Pregnancy Updates: 

Maternity Clothes?  ok so I am totally in maternity pants now, and most of my tops still fit, but and finding that the few maternity tops I bought, or just cotton shirts are becoming much more comfy!

Stretchmarks? Still none yet! :)


Sleep? Still sleeping pretty well, however turning over is starting to get a bit more challenging as my tummy is getting bigger.  I also have increased eating bananas to avoid the GOD awful legs cramps that occasionally wake me up in the middle of the night!

Movement? Baby's movements are frequent and are much bigger than they were before! I get really excited every time he moves! 

Milestones?  Now officially in my 3rd trimester!  Hard to believe just how fast this has flown by. I have felt VERY blessed with how easy my pregnancy has gone thus far. 

What I miss? starting to miss my regular clothes!  There are so many cute summer things out right now, but NONE of which I feel comfortable wearing at this point in my pregnancy.  

Things I look forward to?  Birthing Classes, our Pregnancy Photo Shoot in about a week and a half, and my baby shower next month.  



Over the weekend Jasen and I got away for a "baby moon" trip!  We took off and spent some time in sunny Eastern WA.  Here are some pics from our trip together!

 Blueberry Hills Farm and Restaurant-Had some awesome breakfast there!

We made a stop to Ellensburg to walk the campus of Central Washington University, and to eat a Tav Burger for lunch!  We had a wonderful time together, and really slowed down a little to just enjoy one another and to reflect on the last 6 years together! Hard to believe we are about to embark on the next step in our journey with one another...We are both feeling very blessed!
