Well, here we are.... Almost at the 5 week mark for Baby Adam. I'm feeling pretty good, but at the same time pretty crappy. Everyone I see comments on how good I look for just having a baby 2, 3, 4 & 5 weeks ago. That makes me feel good, I still can't fit into my pre-pregnancy pants... I had to go up a pants size. I have 15 lbs to lose to get to pre-pregnancy weight and I have another week to go before I'm released for physical activities.
I'm sure sooner or later I'll lose the weight, but I hate not being able to see my abs anymore. I worked hard for those and the fact that I'm going to have to do it all over again seems difficult. I know I can do it, especially with warmer weather ahead.
I do have to say though, no matter how much weight I have yet to lose, or how I look, it was all totally and completely worth it. Adam is changing daily and knowing that I was able to help create this beautiful little human being is beyond words. Even though it's challenging, I wouldn't take any of it back.
So, I'll update more on where I'm at after I get to start working out again. I cannot wait! I'm still not sure what I'm going to do, as we no longer have our gym memberships since moving. We'll see!
Thanks for sticking by my blog, I know posting is minimal, but I'll try to post more as I get time!

Adam James
I suppose it's time I update you all on the happenings around here. I'd like to introduce you to Adam James, born December 23rd, 2010 at 7:01 pm.
We were in the hospital until December 26th and moved that same day. It was a busy time!
I was in labor for 22 hours after going in for a c-section. Everything went great after that and it was a matter of 30 minutes until he was finally born. We are in love!
I will update more as I get time!

At the hospital, just before having cervidel (sp) inserted
Here he is! 8lbs 8oz & 21 inches long
First time seeing our Son
A full head of hair, just like his mommy had when she was born!
Our new little family :-)

4 days overdue....
Well, I'm still here! Last week, I completely jumped the gun when I talked about our Last weekend as a family of two....Turns out, baby boy is comfortable right where he is!
The good news is, Hubby and I got to spend some more quality time together. My parents came to pick up a few things that we'll want right away when we move back, we got to have lunch with friends, we had an open house (which was a bust) and just relaxed.
It was nice, as this next weekend we will be celebrating Jesus's birthday with our new Little Man and hopefully some family as well! It will probably be a busy weekend, if all goes well. Please say a prayer that Thursday's induction goes smoothly and quickly if you can! I'm really praying for no c-section, but if that's what is needed, then that's what we'll do.
Hubby and I are celebrating Christmas together sometime this week before we go to the hospital, because we have no idea when we will be discharged. It will either be Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. We shall see! Either way, we're so excited to be able to celebrate with our new addition!
Here's a 40w 3day picture to show you just how big my belly is now!

Nope, it appears that he has not dropped..... I'm telling you, he wants to stay in there forever!

Nada, nothing, zilch!
That's what my cervix did in the last week anyway...
I didn't move at all, she said.... Well you're not much further than you were last week. BUMMER! So with 1 day left on that little calendar on the side bar of my blog, I'm starting to feel anxious and crappy about the whole thing!
I know he'll come when he's ready, unless of course that isn't before the 23rd, because that's they day they have set to induce me. I was hoping to be induced earlier, but I suppose it's best to give my body time to try to do it on its own.
So, we'll see what this next week brings, hopefully LOTS and LOTS of dilation and contractions! Who knows, everyone keeps telling me that now since we've set "the date" that my water will probably break the day/night before we have to go in. I would so much rather prefer that to happen, so I hope it does.
On a happier note, we did get tons of pictures from the ultrasound and everything looks great. I'll try to get some of them scanned and post them tomorrow with my 40 week photo! O and he's got a ton of hair!
Until next time... I'll be doing whatever I can to make this baby want to come into the world! If you can't find me, I'll probably be at the gym 24 hours a day for the next week trying to walk him out of me! :-)
Have a wonderful COLD Wednesday!!

39 Week Appointment
Well, I had my 39 week appointment. Didn't go as planned.... (for me anyway! ha) Baby is starting to move down, I'm 1cm dialated and about 50% effaced. I was hoping to be further along, but no such luck.
I actually lost a pound at this last appointment, bringing me to +32 lbs. Crazy!
Doctor said we'll do an ultrasound at my next appointment to check on baby's size and fluid levels and all that jazz and then we'll schedule an induction for the next week (and pray that he comes on his own before then). She said that she's worried about letting me go to long because he may be too big to fit through my little frame.
She estimates him to be about 7.5lbs already and if she let me go another 2 weeks he could be as big as 8.5-9lbs..... I know people deliver babies that big, as my own mother did (I was 9.2) but I am actually a bit smaller than she was when she delivered me.
The doctor threw around the term c-section as a possibility if the baby was too big, she said she wouldn't want me to go through 20 hours of labor, three hours of pushing and then still end up with a c-section anyway.
I figured, I'm not the doctor and whatever is best for baby and me is what she will suggest doing.
So, we should find out more on Tuesday, but if you have time, say a little prayer that he comes on his own before then :-)

Lots and Lots of updates
Thank you all for the sweet comments about my Grandpa's passing. It was very sad, but I know he's in heaven probably fishing or dancing with my Grandma.
Last week was tough with the wake and funeral and then Thanksgiving. My family decided not to travel to our home for Thanksgiving this year, just given the circumstances, so it was just Jesse's parents and us. We had a delicious dinner and enjoyed the company. They made a nice short trip and it was wonderful to have Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday just the two of us.
I had my 37 week appointment last week and my 38 appointment this week. I will get pictures up today or tomorrow, I swear! Appointments went well, passed my Strep B test which is good. Everything is looking fine so far, I'm up 33lbs total and the doctor said that my cervix is softening, so whatever that means I suppose it's good! I'm not dialated at all, but I'm trying not to get down about it, because I suppose that can change in a few hours.
Plan is to see how things go next week at my appointment and if I haven't had him yet, we'll do an ultrasound on Dec. 15th and then plan for an induction the week after. So, sounds like anywhere between the 20th-23rd if he doesn't come on his own before then. I'm hoping he decides to make an appearance on his own, but we shall see.
Moving date is still set for Dec. 27th, so we have a lot going on in the next few weeks. Say a prayer for our house to sell very soon and for a healthy baby to be born very soon :-)
More updates to follow as I have time!

My bags are packed....
I'm ready to go....
Well, I feel quite accomplished this week. I was able to was the baby clothes (0-6months), blankets, sheets, ect, pack the diaper bag and hospital bag and wrap all of my Christmas presents! Talk about being motivated!
Now all we have to do is put the car seat in and wait for the Little Mister to make his debut. I hope it's sooner rather than later, but at this point we have exactly 5 weeks and no more. So we know that he'll be here on or before Dec. 23rd!!
It will be the most amazing Christmas we have ever had. God couldn't have blessed us with a better Christmas present!
I'll post my 36 week photo and appointment stats later today.

Better late than never... Weeks 34 & 35
Well, I'm a bit late on these, given, week 36 is this Thursday! I swear I'll get that one up in a more timely manner! Life has just gotten in the way.
So, Week's 34 & 35....
Week 34 was my last appointment. Everything went well. Heart-rate was at 144 and he was moving like crazy to get away from the Doppler. I was measuring about a week behind (so at 33 weeks). Which is a bummer, but it's what I suspected all along with the due dates and everything.
I gained an extra 5 lbs! holy cow! haha I think I'm up to 23 lbs.. I've decided to go by my scale since thats where I weighed myself prepregnancy, otherwise it makes me feel awful because I gain a lot more according to the doctors scale! haha
No problems at the appointment, my blood pressure is still super low which is good.
I just can't wait to meet this little guy!

33 weeks and pregnancy brain
How far along? 33 weeks
Total weight gain: Not sure, up 22 but haven't checked again... We'll see next week at my next appt.
Maternity clothes?: For sure.
Sleep: Sleeping great, actually I slept from 8:30 pm to 6:15 am last night. It was amazing... I mean, I still got up 2-3 times to pee, but I slept great!
Cravings: Still pop for some odd reason.
Movement: LOTS!
Gender: Blue!!!!
Labor Signs: Nope. Does everyone feel Braxton Hicks Contractions?
Belly Button in or out? Still in, and hoping it stays that way!

What I miss: eh same ol same ol..... mostly my other clothes.
Ok, so I'll have to post a 33 week picture later....... On to that pregnancy brain stuff. Does everyone forget things while they are pregnant? I swear, I've definitely been losing brain cells! I forget everything! We had some work done on our car by a family friend and I typically send a check in the mail that next day.... Well today it's been 4 weeks and I just sent it out because I completely forgot! I forget to do things at my internship unless I write them down. Its a miracle I remember to go to my internship!
Did I tell you we're moving? I mean like moving about 2 weeks after baby boy will hopefully make his appearance? I know my last day of being pregnant will definitely be Dec. 23rd, but I'm hoping he comes on or before his due date of Dec. 16th.... Wishful thinking, huh??
It'll be a crazy December, that's for darn sure!
Have a great weekend everyone!!

32 Weeks
We're into the 8th month ladies!! I cannot believe it! Only 8 weeks until the Little mister arrives! I CAN.NOT.WAIT!
Cravings: Pop. Like Coke, it sounds delicious! It's the weirdest thing!
Best moment this week: Hearing his heartbeat again. I LOVE IT! I also love seeing his little feet and other body parts stick out.
What I miss: Margarita's and my pre-pregnancy jeans...Weekly Wisdom: Enjoy every moment! Somedays it hurts getting kicked in the ribs, but then as soon as I don't feel him moving around, I get nervous. So I'd much rather be uncomfortable and feel him moving around than more comfortable and not feel him at all!
Favorite Moments: We've had both of our showers and the room is coming together. We're going to be moving about a month after his birth, so we aren't really decorating at all... It just wouldn't be worth it.
How far along? 32 weeks
Total weight gain: Up another 2 at my doctors appt. So we're at 22.....
Maternity clothes?: Ha, definitely!
Sleep: I'm still sleeping pretty good, no issues there
Cravings: Pop. Like Coke, it sounds delicious! It's the weirdest thing!
Movement: LOTS!
Gender: Blue!!!!
Labor Signs: Nope. Does everyone feel Braxton Hicks Contractions?

Yikes!
I can't believe it's been 10 days since my last post! Life has just totally taken over! It's been crazy. First, I'd like to thank all of you that sent your prayers our way for hubbys interview! HE GOT THE JOB! :-) We get to move back to my hometown anytime between Dec. 1st and mid Jan.... So, it kind of throws a bit of a curve ball into the mix with the Little Mister being due on Dec. 16th. We're not sure how to proceed, but when we find out a for sure date, I guess we'll go from there. I'm so proud of my hubby! I knew he'd get it, but it's just so nice having the actual paperwork!
I only have 7.5 days left of my internship and I could not be more excited! I'll be finished on November 9th if all goes well and then it's pack pack pack (if I'm still up for it). We're trying to send a few things back here and there to go to my parents house so that we don't have as much to move, but it's difficult. Everything will come together though, I know it will.
I'm officially into the 8th month of pregnancy as of Oct. 21st! 32 weeks, it's so hard to believe! We have, at most 8-9 weeks to go until we finally get to meet the little guy! I'll post my 32 week update later today.
For now, I have beef stew in the crockpot for dinner and I'm heading to the kitchen to bake some pumpkin muffins! :-) I love fall days. Have a great lazy Sunday everyone!

30 weeks 5 days
Ok, so I'm behind again..... Sorry!! I had my 30 week appt last week and here are the stats from that:
Weight: 20 lbs...... Yuck, I am so not excited about this, but again I suppose it is not THAT bad.
Glucose test: Passed will flying colors!
Baby Boy: Strong heartbeat at 155. He kept kicking the doppler and you could hear it! His heartrate would then go up because he was getting all that exercise, it was so funny.
Lately: Movement has been crazy! I can tell he's got less room in there, because he's moving all the time! Sometimes, it gets uncomfortable, but I'm ok with that because at least I know he's ok in there.
We had two baby showers and they were both amazing! We got so many useful things, we are definitely blessed. The baby room is so unorganized, but I should be able to take a crack at it this weekend and hopefully get some things put away. We'll see!
Hubby had the flu on Sunday, so I'm praying I don't get it. O, also, hubby has an interview on Monday in the city we're hoping to move to, so say a prayer or do whatever you do and send it our way :-) If you wouldn't mind!
Here's my "30 week" picture, but really it's 30 weeks and 5 days.

Hubby Comments
Here are a few of my favorite comments from Hubby during this pregnancy:
As I was changing my shirt.... "Wow, you've really let yourself go haven't you?"
"You've got some junk in your ....... front??"
"You're t-shirts don't even fit anymore"
"I'm ready for this baby to get here already.." Me: "Um.... I think I'm a little more ready than you are!"
"Maybe we should call him Jupiter." Me: Yeah, if you want our child to get made fun of. (To be perfectly clear, he was only 3/4 joking.... He's big into that sort of stuff, yes he's a nerd.)

29 weeks and some intern stuff!
Holy crap! 29 weeks already (tomorrow)!?!?
The Little Mister is on the move this week! He's been doing some crazy things in there, not just his ordinary kicks. I'm talking full out karate chops and gymnast style flips! It's great, but at times it catches me off guard and scares me a bit because it feels so weird.
I've been getting a bit more tired these days... I'm still sleeping ok, but by the time 1:00 hits, I'm pretty darn tired.
Other than being tired, I'm feeling pretty good. I went for a long walk the other night and on the way back, I had some terrible pains on my lower right side and it was not fun. Hubby and I actually had to stop walking so I could rest, because that is the only time that it would go away. I felt it again today for a brief moment, but haven't felt it since. I'm hoping this doesn't happen everytime I walk, because I would sure like to continue to exercise, at least a little bit.
I've been trying to upload photos for about 25 minutes now and blogger is not letting me do it..... Anyone else having problems with this?? If I can figure it out, I'll post them later!
Anyway, on to internship stuff. I have 24 days left of my practicum!! I cannot wait. I'm thinking my last day will be sometime during the second week in November. After Oct. I do start going only 3 days a week, so that'll be a nice needed break.
It's been very busy at my internship, so I think that's why I've been more tired as of late. I have 7 large group guidance lessons per week, two small groups per week and about 3-4 individual sessions a week. Planning for all of those is making my head spin and it's hard to keep track of! Those will last until the end of my internship, so I'm thinking these next 4 weeks will fly by.

28 weeks- A little behind
Well, 28 weeks has come and gone! I was actually 28 weeks on Thursday, Sept, 23rd. We did not get a picture as we have been too busy!
So, you'll have to settle for the updates from our appointment.
Hello 3rd trimester!! That has to be the biggest highlight of this week! I'm so excited to be 2/3's finished with pregnancy and that much closer to actually meeting our little guy!
Heartbeat was at 163 which she said was perfect, so I'm hoping she's right and it's not too high!
I am up to 17 lbs gained already... I'm trying to think positive about this, but it's hard... Though I'm sure those kit kats and pumpkin muffins don't help! :-)
I had my glucose test as well. Drinking that orange stuff wasn't as bad as I've heard, but I can't say I'd want to drink it all the time.
It's been 3 days since the test and I haven't heard anything back yet, so that's a good sign. This doctor is a no news is good news doctor, so if there isn't anything wrong, she won't call, she'll just wait until our next appointment to share the info with us.
I had my flu shot as well. Did you guys get this? I was leery at first, but she highly recommended it, so I got it. I figured better safe than sorry with that H1N1 stuff. I've never had one before and the shot itself didn't hurt, but whow baby my arm was sore for two days.
Other than that, things went fine, she said I was measuring right on at 28 weeks, but she couldn't quite tell which way baby was facing yet.
We're now going every 2 weeks to the doc! I'm excited to hear the little mister's heartbeat more frequently, I just love it!
That's all for now! Hope you had an awesome Tuesday and remember that we're going private here at Livin the Great Life, so if you want to continue to read my blog, send me an e-mail at kaylajcrane at gmail dot com and I'll add you to my list.

27 Weeks!
Yes, it has been a week since I've posted and I am so very sorry. This internship is really kicking my butt and I'm doing my best to keep up with everything else as well.
So, 27 weeks! I'm pretty excited about this. It means that next week we start the 3rd trimester!! I also have my glucose test which I'm hoping goes well.
I'm up a total of 14-15 lbs and I'm pretty sure my belly button is going to pop out at any second. Baby boy has been pretty active, but today was an exceptionally quite day for him. It makes me very nervous, but when I laid down tonight to type this out, I could tell there was some movement in there, so that was reassuring.
Sleep is still an issue, but I'm getting through it.
Nothing else new to report this week. Sorry I'm short on interesting things!
Here are the pictures I'm sure you're really wanting for!

26 weeks
I definitely think my belly has popped this week. It's getting bigger and bigger, though... I suppose that's the idea, huh?
He's becoming more active which is amazing! I just love it. We were able to start on his room, finally. This past weekend we got the crib and changing table all set up! Now, I can't wait for my showers so that we can start to fill his room with everything else.
Sorry for my venting session yesterday, I realize that gaining weight is a part of pregnancy, it just sorta stinks. However; I am so very thankful for this oppourtunity that I have been blessed with and I am not saying being pregnant isn't the most wonderful thing in the world, because it is. So please do not let my venting let you think anything differently. I am so loving this and I know I'll miss feeling his kicks!
This week I've gained about 12-13 lbs and am feeling like I have a lot more energy. It's nice not to be tired all the time.
Sleeping is still an issue, I get enough sleep but my back is killing me when I wake up.
I can't believe we have less than 100 days to go (hopefully!) to meet our Little Mister! It is incredible! :-)

Image, is it just me?
Well, its started. The feeling I've lost control of my weight and body image. My body is doing a miraculous thing and I am so very thankful for it each and everyday. But I can't help but look at myself in the mirror and feel anything but good about the way I look. I've gained about 12 lbs in 26 weeks of pregnancy. I have no idea if that is a lot or not.
I feel so yucky about the extra weight that I have no desire to go work out. It just takes too much effort and energy right now, is that just sad and pathetic or what?
I should be working out everyday, yet I get home from work and definitely do not want to. Is this normal during pregnancy? I know I need to gain weight for the baby to be healthy, that's not the issue. The issue is I definitely do not feel good about myself at all anymore. Some people get pregnant and look amazing the entire time, though I suppose maybe they are feeling the same way I am?
I'm not even close to gaining as much weight as I will eventually gain during this pregnancy. Doc says I should gain 25-30 lbs. So, I have another 13-18 lbs to go until 40 weeks, if all goes well. It creeps me out that every week I step on the scale, the weight goes up by at least one lb sometimes two.
I've got to stop worrying about this, because such is life when you are pregnant. I'm just worried that it'll be very hard to get the weight off once I put it on.
I worked really hard to lose about 7 lbs before I got pregnant, and that put me right where I felt comfortable and now I'm trying to get comfortable with putting more than quadruple that back on!
It's a mind game, and I've got to let it go.
Sorry for the venting session, just something I've been feeling lately!
I believe pregnancy is a wonderful, beautiful thing, I just have to remind myself of that more often (Hubby, are you out there?? :-) hint hint! haha)

25 Weeks
Whew! 25 weeks already! I know I probably say this every week, but holy crap! The time is flying by and I can hardly believe it.
This week has been so fun! He has finally started moving more and more and I can see my belly move in weird ways and feel it at the same time. I LOVE IT!
It is seriously the best feeling in the world, finally knowing there's a little life in there that's doing just fine!
We have started to plan for His room, hopefully getting the crib and changing table this weekend. I can't wait to see it start to fall into place. It is so fun and exciting to know that we'll have a little baby to call our own living in there come December!
I've gained about 11 lbs thus far and had an appointment today. His heartbeat was 160 which I thought was a bit high, but apparently it's still normal and ok. They didn't say anything differently and she said everything looked good, so I'm going to not worry. We go back in 3 weeks for my 28 week appointment and my glucose testing. I'm hoping that goes ok so I don't have to go back and do it again!
Everything seems to be progressing just fine and I can't really complain about anything. So far I love being pregnant, but I know I have a long ways to go. I think it'll go pretty fast though.
