Here is my 36 week belly shot :)

SO sorry it has been soooo long since my last blog!! There has been soooo much going on in the last few months.... of course the wonderful holidays......spending great time with the family....preparing for the arrival of baby Cave!
We are getting so anxious to meet our little bug! We have the diaper bag ready to go....car seat sitting by the door.....SO we are READY! I am full term as of Thursday and I would be so happy if little bug came that day! I am starting to get uncomfortable ( in a good way of course)! It is super hard to put on my socks and shoes which I think is really funny! I am still working full time as a PTA so being on my feet all day is a sure sign that you can find me on the couch that night!! I am totally sore and exhausted when I get home! Brad has been living on tuna and turkey sammies :)
Brad has been SUCH good help around the house these last few weeks....I will come home from work to the dishes done...... Laundry washed, dried and folded!.....living room vacuumed.....and anything else you can think of!!! It is great! I dont think he knows how MUCH I appreciate him!
As of Jan 12th ( or sooner if baby Cave decides to come sooner) I will be done with work and will officially be a stay at home mom.....I am SOOOOOOOOOOO excited and SOOOOOOOOO appreciative to Brad for all he does to make it possible!
Happy New Years to all!!! So excited for 2011!

I love.....

I LOVE feeling as if I have to pee constantly
I LOVE getting up every 2 hours in the middle of the night to pee...and sometimes eat
I LOVE gaining 10 pounds in 4 weeks (YES 10 !!!!!!)
I LOVE having heartburn 24/7....even when it wakes me up in the middle of the night
I LOVE not being able to fit into any of my clothing
I LOVE my mood swings....and so does Brad
I LOVE it when I wake up in the morning and my feet are swollen and it hurts to walk
I LOVE not being able to go number 2 for 4 days in a row....or more (kinda gross but true)
I LOVE being hungry hungry hungry all the time......
I LOVE all of my cravings
what I am getting at is that I LOVE being pregnant ......even all of the not so fun stuff is so totally worth it and I would not have it any other way.....when you feel the little booger moving around and kicking it makes you forget all of the bad stuff.....I am just so thankful that my baby is developing healthy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thank the lord constantly for blessing Brad and I with this precious miracle and pray pray pray that in January I deliver the healthiest baby possible!

Im still here!

I am so sorry that is has been FOREVER since I have blogged.....no excuse really, just lazy :)
I don't have a picture to post right now but tomorrow I will take a 26 week photo.....that's right 26 weeks all ready! I feel like time is going so fast with this pregnancy but I want it to go even faster because I absolutely can not WAIT to meet our precious little baby!!
I have been feeling GREAT! I am having huge trouble trying to stay away from sweets.....my sweet tooth is out of control!! These last 14 weeks I am really going to try and cut down esp since I have my sugar test next Wednesday..............besides Christmas...I'm will dig in then =)...! We had an ultrasound at 20 weeks and everything looked great....our baby appears to be very healthy and growing growing growing....you can tell once I post the picture....my belly is getting quit large....its hard to imagine what it is going to look like 14 weeks from now =) I started to feel the "flutters" at about 14 and a half weeks but was not sure it was them then at 15 weeks I was laying in bed and felt the baby moving for all most an hour.....it was one of the most amazing feelings EVER.....since then the moving in now VERY noticeable to me and anyone who is looking at my stomach :)..I think it is so cool to see my stomach moving in all weird directions knowing that it our little booger doing gymnastics! if it is a boy it is for sure going to be a kicker just like his daddy....our baby LOVES to kick.....baby is breech right now so alot of the time my bladder is the target :) We are hoping that by 40 Baby decides to turn ......keep your fingers crossed!
I am getting so excited to meet our baby but before we get to do that we get to meet baby Muhlbauer here in 2 weeks!!! anytime now:) And Dec 2nd we get to meet baby Mohning :) .....there are going to be babies EVERYWHERE!!!! 5/10 of my bridal party ladies are pregnant (all of the married women that were in my wedding ) and my good friend Nicole and my co-worker Amanda....SOOOOO exciting...kinda hard to keep track of all of the due dates but I am SOOOO excited that our little one is going to have so many little friends...lots of play dates! It is sooo fun being pregnant with some of my best friends!
Besides baby things have been pretty low key...
Brad is head coach for the MMC Eagles football team again this year, things started out great..3-0..but since then no more wins :( We have some tuff competition and we are VERY young....should be great in the next 1 to 2 years!! This Friday is the last game and we are ready for some down time!
2 Sundays ago I meet my family in Mondamin at the apple orchard..it has been a tradition since I can remember and we always have so much fun and get tons of great apple...I LOVE apples!
I have a baby shower with Brads family and a few friends this Saturday....should be LOTS of fun!
More to come soon!

Im still here!!

So I am LOVING being pregnant!!! We are just a few weeks away from the halfway mark =) I have a handful of ladies in my life that I am very close with who are also expecting and it is SOOOO much fun being pregnant together! Last Doc appt the Babes heart rate was 150 and things were looking good. I will have another ultrasound if a few weeks and we will get to see how big the Babe is getting =) SOOOO exciting! Other than that our lives have been pretty slow. Brad started football practice this past week so things are about to get very very busy....But I am really looking forward to fall and football. Fall is by far my favorite season!

Baby BUMP =)
