Week 36.

Week 36: Almost there!

I went to the doctor yesterday and i'm 2cm dilated and 70 % thinned out.  So basically this means any day now!  I've been feeling like my water is going to break at some point almost everyday.  It's hard to explain the feeling but my mind races and I repeat, "Oh my God, Here we go!" but sadly, nothing happens. Also, last week, I finally had my Maternity photos done!  I wasn't going to do them but everyone kept saying that I would regret not doing it.  Luckily, my Mom's best friend, Chrystal Cox, came through and donated some of her talent of photography.  I don't have them yet to show off but as soon as I do, I will post them.  Until then....lets be patient.

Weight:  BIG! I've gained 30 pounds!!!
Cravings: Smoothies and Bar-B-Que
Cons:  I'm so heavy, it's hard to sleep
Pros: Almost there!!!

We also had an Ultrasound at 35 Weeks and the Doctor said she was about 5.5 pounds and 18" long.  She also has plenty of hair and she looks JUST LIKE JOSH!  At this visit they confirmed I was 1cm dilated already!

Weeks 25-31: Its been a while!

31 Weeks Pregnant!  Its been a while since I last updated my blog.  Sorry!  I've got a lot to catch up on.  Since last I've had my glucose test and passed!  I've had several appointments and all have gone well except I do, in fact, need to drink more water.  Story of my life!  And this Saturday is our Baby Shower!!  We're having a cookout and we only invited our closest friends and family.  We ordered two cakes from Cecila's Cakes in Athens, Ga.off of Prince Ave. (Strawberry 3 milk cake and Raspberry!)  I'm mostly looking forward to seeing everyone and eating those cakes!!! Yum yum... And my Brother Eric will be cooking so there's no telling what "secret ingredients" he'll be using. Ex: A few cigarette ashes, some peppah, a little pinch of garlic, some JAP-a-lenos, some hair from his back, hint of fart, and the most secret ingredient of all...frog tail. LOL If you've ever eaten at the Walls Home and Eric cooked, you know what i'm talking about! It tastes so good but don't dare ask what's in it! hahaha....

Weight: gained 24 pounds total! Big girl! 159 and holding.  I will cry when i'm 160.
Cravings: Japanese and Pickle flavored chips.
Weeks prego: 31, 8 weeks to go (or less)
Pros: Almost there, everyone seems excited, ready to get this over with!
Cons: Braxton Hix, cant sleep, constant worry, STRESS, swelling, cant drive well, etc.

24 weeks, 6days along

These past few weeks I cant stop craving Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, which is super bad for you!  I've got that diabetes test coming up in 2 weeks and I might just test positive due to all the sugar I've consumed lately!!  It's just, when I see that bright, red sign, gleaming, I run!!  Man-o-man are they good.

I was considering asking for a preferred customer discount but i'm sure there's someone else whose passion for junk food is way stronger than mine.

Weight:   Gained 15 pounds total! Probably all doughnut weight!
Cravings:   Doughnuts!
Mood:   Easily aggravated
Motivation:  Got a lot going on these next few months so hopefully the time will pass by quickly
Cons to pregnancy:  Bad gas, always tired, nothing fits, and not ever looking forward to clothes shopping
Pros to pregnancy:  Everyone seems nicer to you, food tastes amazing, you actually look cute fat, and your hair grows faster and thicker

January 16th ,2012~22 weeks & 1 days~2nd trimester~125 days to go.

This week we painted a mural of a tree with owls.  Took approximately 20 to 25 hours! It was the first and last mural i'll ever do! Also this week Cadence calls her Baby Sister her baby! So cute! She's also "acting" like she's a baby again.  I love the attention from her.

Cravings: Olive Garden Salad
Weight:  Lets dont talk about that! haha
Stretch marks: Not yet
Missing out:  I wish I could go snowboarding with Josh.  I just started to get good last year and I have a brand new board that has never touched the snow!
Plans: Maybe a savings account for retirement.

ALSO!!! We have picked a name:
Elizabeth Tensley Robinson 
but calling her by her middle name Tensley.


I hope you all like it but if you don't, remember, it's not your baby! haha...

I also purchased some things this week for Miss Tensley:

Cute headbands and crocheted hats.  EVERY color to match any outfit!

The Bedding I bought is from Pottery Barn.  I got her name embroidered on the quilt.

WEEK 20

This week we found out we're having a girl!  

FINALLY! Now I can share my nursery ideas: 

As you can see, I REALLY like owls. Haha... I've got so many good ideas.  now, if I can just pull it all together!  Also, the answer to so many questions, yes, we've picked a name.  We actually have two in mind and we're thinking of waiting til we see our little girl to name her.  It's like a puppy.  How can you name it before you see it?? But I will give you a hint, its unique and one-of-a-kind!
