34 Weeeks!

                       This week baby could be up to 20 inches long and weigh about 5 pounds! Also this week baby's fingernails are so long it goes past it's tiny little fingers! Also this week baby's heartbeat was 130.
Good news! Baby is head down!(:

                   This week is week 34! well only for a few more hours. Tomorrow i will be 35 weeks! This week there has been so much going on that i haven't had the chance to update this sooner. We had a doctors appointment this week and everything is going good! She measured me, and pushed on my belly again to see if our baby is head down. It didnt hurt as bad as last time! But she did say that baby is head down!(: only 36 more days to go! Its coming up so fast! This week i have been pretty good. Besides today. it has just been one of those days. My rib has been killing me today! Yes baby is in there and im not complaining but its just been so hard today to work because of this pain. I can't take a deep breath without it hurting, bending over was like the worst thing on the planet. Especially when people have no respect for pregnant women and decided to throw everything all over the floor -__- Blah. So glad that today is over with so i can start fresh tomorrow! (: Hopefully with this pain gone.. but if not then i will just deal with it with a smile on my face!(: So everyone has been asking and saying 'oh i bet you are so ready for the baby to come out'. And my honest answer is no. lol Not that im scared of labor and delivery or anything like that. But i have just enjoyed having my baby living in my belly. I love watching it move around and kick me and feel its hiccups and everything that comes with being pregnant. I will be ready when the time comes, but until then i will enjoy having my baby in there, even though i'm always looking like a sweaty hot mess :P. I have started to get more and more uncomfortable and its hard to sit up right or to drive sitting with my back straight. This is just what happens the last few weeks of pregnancy i guess ;] This week i also washed all the baby clothes and got mostly everything set up! I will post pictures on here next week! of the crib and everything else(:
Well that is all for this week i am going to go lay down and make myself as comfortable as i can(:
until next week!

33 weeeks!

                   This week baby is the size of a pineapple! Our baby approximately weighs 4 pounds, and over 17 inches long. Our baby's skeleton is hardening but will still stay soft enough to overlap eachother so it will be easier to be delivered! (: 

                This is week 33 people! I have been feeling great! Except the past couple days my body has been swelling, which hasn't happened since i was visiting Nevada, at least not my feet. I have been craving anything chocolate.. all the time! Which is horrible since it gives me ridiculous acid reflex.! :/ I have been feeling our baby 'roll' around in there literally! It rarely kicks little kicks anymore its always rolling, making huge moves in there! :P As i am getting closer to my due date i am starting to worry about every pain i get or if anything is a little off. New worries come along when your about to have a baby let me tell you! ;] We also set up our crib this week! Now its all becoming so real! :p
                  Well as everyone knows Christian and i got married this week <3. Weddings to some people are about how much money you spent on your dress, or how many people came, or what location you picked. All that 'regular' wedding stuff wasn't the way i had ever planned my wedding being. Our wedding was perfect in my eyes, yeah we didn't have the bright and shining sun in our faces, wedding bells, flying doves, yet none of that would have ever mattered, all that mattered at the moment was Christian. He is honestly my best friend. I'm so grateful for him, he is the man that i am supposed to be with until the end of time. He has so much patience and shows me the good in everything. He always knows how to put a smile on my face, and has been there for me from the beginning. Everyone says that when you 'find' the person your supposed to be with, you'll know, I can now tell you, i believe that.  We have been married for 4 four days and even though it felt like we were married before.. the feeling of actually being married to this amazing man is the best feeling in the whole world. <3 (I know this is all mushhy mushhyy stuff, but its all so true.;]) 

         I want to also say thank you to my new in-laws for making me feel so comfortable and part of your family! You guys rock! (:
          Also thank you mother for EVERYTHING you did for our wedding! We are so grateful! (: 
And to my WHOLE family now thank you all for sharing this precious moment with us! I love you all! 
         And to my new mother in law thank you for these awesome pictures! i know you are disappointed with them, but i honestly love them! You are such a great photographer! 


Well until next weeek!
(:

(bahah so weird, but so awesome!)

32 weeks= 8 Months! :D

                      This week baby is the size of a Jicama! Tipping the scales at almost 4 pounds! Holyyyy cowww! (I remember when baby didn't even weigh a pound!). This week baby is practicing some more kicking around, inhaling, exhaling. Stuff like that (: Our baby's heartbeat this week was spiked up a little bit it was 159. Also another awesome fact this week is that our baby's skin is no longer see through! :D Our baby now has fat filling in his/her body so no more see through skin :D


           This is week 32 everyone! I am officailly 8 months pregnant! I can't believe it! Only 51 days to go! This week i have been...HOT! I swear i get random break outs of dying and start sweating like no other -__-. Oregon doesn't have like horrible heat like Nevada did, but its still heat not to mention i'm carrying a baby so that makes me feel even hotter! Its making me miserable! I woke up today from my nap literally dripping sweat! I've never wanted it to be winter so bad in my life :P I'm also very hormonal this week. Especially right now, but its because i am hot, my rib is bothering me, and my hands are so swollen today. I swear the baby has been loving that spot all day today. It just feels like an annoying little pain that won't go away, but its not like a hard sharp pain or anything like that. (: I could go on an on about everything that is wrong right now, but id rather not.. i'm sure that's not why people read this blog :P. This week i have just been craving KFC like some chicken. mashed potatoes, and hot sauce omg yum! ;] This week i can see the change in my face.. anyone else see it?! i also need to start wearing strechieeee pants! My jeans beside 2 pair are just too tight! 
             So this week we went to the doctor for my 32 week check up. I had to see a different midwife this time instead of the one i have been seeing for the past 2 weeks.. I don't necessarily "click" with her has i do the other mid-wife anyways she came in asked me how i was feeling and i told her about the pains that i had been experiencing a few weeks ago. She told me if i start feeling that pain again to call them and do everything i was doing last time. She also told me that if i was to start feeling those pains at 34 weeks and they weren't going away or if i started going into labor, they wouldn't stop my labor. In my mind i'm thinking 34 weeks.. uhh isn't that a little to soon?!? I guess i should have asked why they won't stop it but im pregnant my memory and train of thought is out the window :P So she went to listen for the baby's heartbeat (last time she tried to listen to our baby's heartbeat it moved away from her and wouldn't let her find him/her.) So she went to find the heartbeat and couldn't find anything and asked if i could feel where the baby was hiding so i pointed to the left side of my belly and she found it for a second and our baby moved away from her not to mention our baby kicked the heartbeat thingy lol. Everytime she would find our baby's heartbeat it would move away from her and kick her. It was the cutest thing ever.. Maybe our baby doesn't really "click:" with her either, or our baby just likes to play games with her :P. I also asked her while i was laying down if there was a way to feel my belly and see if she could feel if the baby's head was down. I read about it so i wanted to see if she could tell. Well that was a stupid question to ask.. She had to push really hard on my belly D: GAHHH  it hurt! She said that it was hard to tell because my belly was really hard.. like it always is lol. But she said she felt something hard in my pelvis... but wasn't sure if it was the head? So i don't really know what that means.. lol I hope our baby is head down, it has been like the whole time i've been pregnant so we'll see! She said she would check again once i am 36 weeks! So ill keep everyone updated. (:
              Some more news this week is that i am getting married on SUNDAY! (: Yes, this Sunday! We are getting married in Cannon Beach.. literally on the beach (:. A lot of people didn't realize or didn't know we were getting married so "soon" but this has been our set date since we got engaged, we just haven't really shared it with anyone. We are just have a small intimate wedding. So if you are confused why you didn't get an invitation, its because we didn't send any out :P I will no longer be Tosha Nester.. how weird?! :P I get to see my family though! My family will be flying up Saturday! Can't wait to see how my nephew likes Oregon! (: Maybe i can get them to move down here (; (kidding mom) 

Well i thought i would leave you with some old wives tells about baby gender.. because i thought they were funny. But i do know most of these that don't agree with people that have had a baby. :p

•   If your baby is low and all out in front, then you are having a boy. If you carry your baby higher and you got wider with the pregnancy, then you are having a girl.
• Hang your wedding band on a string of your hair, or on a string. Have someone stand over you and hold the ring directly over your belly. If the ring moves in a circle you are having a girl and if the ring sways back and forth you are having a boy.
• The rate of the baby's heartbeat is also another popular baby gender predictor. This is one of the myths about baby gender prediction that often provides to be true. If the baby's heart rate is faster than 140 beats per minute, then you are sure to have a girl. If the average heart rate is below 140 beats per minute, it is said to be a boy.
• If you have morning sickness that seems to last all day long and last for longer than your first trimester, then you are having a girl.
• Some of the gender predictors have to deal with the way that the woman looks during pregnancy. Some supposed indicators of a girl are: round face, acne breakouts, the woman looks worse pregnant than she did when not pregnant, and her chest grows dramatically. Some supposed indicators that the baby will be a boy are: hair grows faster on the legs, her nose widens, feet are colder during pregnancy, and you have not had a dramatic growth spurt in the chest area.
• if you can't get enough chocolate, you could be having a girl. Does the idea of drinking straight lemon juice sound delicious to you? Then those sour cravings are a result of the little boy inside of you.
• If your husband puts on weight, then your having a boy. 

31 Weeks!

                            This week baby is the size of.. well... it didn't really compare it to one thing.. It compared the size of our baby with multiple things. like the size of a few well four navel oranges. Or a few bunches of asparagus lol. Our baby weighs about 3 pounds give or take. Also our baby's brain developing more and more, our baby can use all five senses! Our baby will also be sleeping a lot more..which i am starting to learn our little baby's sleeping habits (:


               Well here i am looking like a...cow. lol i hate this picture, but its the only i could use. My eyes don't even look open! But thats enough about complaining about the picture. :P Well this week is almost up for me! and then Saturday i will be 32 weeks. This week has been like the rest, but i have just been getting more uncomfortable. Sitting or standing doesn't matter which, seems to bother me just as much as the other. Laying down seems to be the only way for me to get comfortable, but not for that long :P. this week i still am craving chicken..everything chicken.('; SO in my last blog post i said i was nervous to be 30 weeks just because this is like the last ten weeks i have until our baby is here! Well.. i had an incident happen which makes me even more nervous about these last weeks! I started getting really bad pains in the lower part of my belly, while i was working. They were starting to be so strong that i had to lean against something or sit down. It was obvious to some of my co-workers that i had been feeling some pain, so i was advised to go call my mid-wife and ask her if everything was okay. I feel like i call about everything i feel because i don't know if it is something i should be feeling or not and i wasn'r sure if it was braxton hick contractions or what. Anyway i called and left a message waiting for them to call me back, and at my lunch hour i finally got a call. I was telling them about the pains that i had been feeling and that i had been drinking lots of water and that no matter what i did if i walked around, sat down, laid down, nothing seemed to make the pain stop. The nurse didn't seem to be able to tell me what exactly was going on, so that made me nervous. She told me she would call me back in about 20 minutes to let me know what the doctor had said. So i clock back on to work, waiting for the nurse to call me back. She called me back and told me that i needed to go home. She said that the way i had described everything sounded like i was having small contractions.. not braxton hick contractions. So i ended up going home and laying around the rest of the day, and the pains went away. Talk about freak out! lol it made me so nervous to feel those pains, just because i know that this baby needs to stay in there for a couple more weeks! (: Anyway that was my scary experience. 
                  There was also some other stuff that i had been going through with my health. A few weeks ago i was scheduled to take the gestational diabetes test like everyone has to when there pregnant. Well when i got the results back.. they weren't good. My glucose levels were a little over the normal. So for the past few weeks I've been pretty upset about maybe having gestational diabetes. They told me that i needed to call this number and take a 3 hour gestational diabetes test to make sure the first test was accurate. So two weeks ago i went in to take the 3 hour test but ended up getting really sick from the drink they make you drink, so i couldn't finish the test. Well this last Tuesday i went in to re take the test again. Longest 3 hours of my life let me tell you! I got poked six times to take blood, two of those six times they couldn't get a good vein to give them any blood -__-. So i sat there for 3 hours waiting, starving, and feeling crappier than ever. I just kept thinking that if i have gestational diabetes, I'm going to be so upset. I know having it isn't the end of the world, but just the thought bothered me because i have done some changing in my life style so i don't harm my baby and to have gestational diabetes.. would just suck. Well once the test was all over she said i would be getting the results soon, and not to worry. Well today i got an e-mail about my results... I DO NOT HAVE GESTATIONAL DIABETES! :DDD 
I could just jump for joy! lol I'm so relieved i don't have it. Its like the best news ever! (:

Well that is all for this week. i hope everyone had an awesome fourth of July! 
Until next week!



                               

30 weeeks!

                    Baby this week is the size of a large green cabbage! About 17 inches long and weighs about 3 pounds!(Going by the book  of course.. doesn't mean our baby is exactly that size). Also this week our baby's brain is starting to develop! It can also regulate it's temperature also, so its little fuzzy hair stuff that has been all over is now starting to fade away! (: Baby's heartbeat is 141 and is measuring right on! (:


                  Well everyone here we are.. week 30! Only 10 more weeks to go! well.. not really 10 since i will be 31 weeks on Saturday! :D. This week i have been feeling good! Minus the constant hot flashes that seem to come whenever they want -___- It is getting more and more uncomfortable to sit for a long period of time because my rib starts to get a pain or the top of my belly starts to fall asleep like i have mentioned before. So sorry if my blogs get shorter and shorter. :P This week i haven't really had any cravings, just chicken! And since i can eat it now without throwing up.. its all i seem to want! Chicken and a nice cold fountain drink coke! OMG YUM! But hey i have gone this long without soda.. whats a few more weeks! The past few nights have been a pain for me to sleep.. from the leg cramps..to the stupid pain i have in my arm from sleeping on it weird..to the weird dreams.. and christian hogging the bed.. LOL Its almost impossible to get a good nights rest, but i manage(; Geeez its taking me like a life time to write this dang blog.. because this belly :P. I have noticed this week that it is starting to get harder and harder for me to do things that i used to be able to do no problem.. for example.. anything to do with bending over, forget about it. lol I haven't had to big of a problem with it before, but now i just stare at whatever is on the floor that i need and wish it would pick itself up.. or i wish my shoes would just jump on my feet and tie themselves!
                          Well last week i said i was nervous to finally be 30 weeks.. and here is why. The thought that i have to give birth in just a few short weeks is starting to make me nervous.. no im not nervous about the pain that everyone talks about..but just nervous on how everything will go. I watched a movie the other day.. well documentary on being pregnant in America and they go around and ask people a bunch of questions. It actually amazed me how many people were worried about the pain they were going to feel, more then anything else. I mean these people are crazy! Your baby is what you should be most excited for, yes there is pain but that shouldn't be the main thing everyone talks about while pregnant. I mean hello! You created a life, and will finally be able to hold your baby. Pain is just something that happens to come along with it.


Well that is all for this week.. i know short, sweet, and to the point.
I will be sure to update this blog next week sooner then Thurday! (:
Hope everyone has a great night.. as for me.. i am going to get Christian from work..
and then cook some dinner. :D
Until next time.

29 weeks! Happy First Day of Summer!

                          Well hello there baby bump. This week our baby is the size of a butternut squash!
Our baby is about 3 inches away from where it will be at when it is born! Our baby also weighs about 3 pounds and will double, almost triple in weight in the next 11 weeks! Baby will no longer be giving me those soft kicks, it is starting to get all cramped up in there and will now throw me and elbow, or knee depending on which isn't comfortable! :p Our baby's bones are starting to harden, and its lungs are fully developed even though baby has a lot of growing to do still!


                      So here i am at week 29 guys! 11 more weeks to goooooo! This week i have been feeling much better with my hormones than i have.. i seem to think that i have them under control.. at least for now (; I havent't been feeling to uncomfortable with anything just yet, i mean i get the occasional rib pain, and the top of my belly falling asleep, but its tolerable. I seem to be sleeping fine as long as i don't take naps during the day, when i need to sleep early that night. This week i keep on seeing our baby move! I am determined to record it.. so everyone can see how amazing and weird it is! feeling my baby move is one thing, but to actually see it move your belly around is just like the coolest thing everrr! ;D I was telling Christian last night that i wish he could feel how awesome it feels.. even though it looks creepy :PThis week the only thing that i have been wanting is anything sweet.. which i need to lay off the sweets, because of some news that i was given D: something i don't really want to share with the world just yet. I have a doctors appointment on Tuesday next week for my 30 week check up! AHHHH 30 weeks already?!?! i dont know about all of you, but this pregnancy is just flying by! Im nervous to be 30 weeks.. but i will explain more about that in my next week blog, (:

                                          
                               This past Saturday was mine and Christian's two year anniversary! 
We didn't do much, but we were more about spending time together at our new apartment than going out on an expensive fancy date :P. These past two years have been the best. I swear Christian just always knows how to put a smile on my face and make me the happiest person in the world.. even when he makes me mad ;]. I know i have told you this already, but thank you Christian for always being there for me and making me the happiest person on this planet! <3


                           I know i said i would post pictures of our new place on my blog.. but i want to wait until it is all decorated cute.. so you all don;t look at it thinking i am a plain Jane. ;] It has defiantly been a change living with just me and Christian. Its always so quiet.. well at least for now :P. And one thing i miss i having a dog greet you as you walk in the door. I have dogs in all the house that i have lived in so not having a dog here is different.. but i will soon have a baby i get to see everyday :D. i love our little apartment, and knowing that all this space is ours:P


                  Well i leave you with a picture.. because i feel like all the pictures i post of myself on here are never all that cute.. plus i felt like taking a picture :P
 Until next week!

28 weeks! = 7 MONTHS (:

                  Baby this week is the size of a Chinese cabbage, and weighs about 2 and a half pounds! Baby can now open its eyes in there! Blinking away that baby is (;. Baby this week is making mommy uncomfortable, sitting and pinching every nerve in my body, but hey i still love my baby! Baby's heartbeat is still at 140, and is doing great!






                  This is my 28th week! I am now 7 months pregnant, and starting my 3rd trimester! Only 80 more days to go! My last update i had it all confused with how long i had i have 80 days, 12 weeks, so roughly three months left to go! All depends on my baby and when it wants to come out! 
                   This past week has been the start to my uncomfortable-ness of pregnancy. I officially can't sit normal for long periods of time.. i need to lean back while i sit or else the top part of my belly starts to fall asleep, which is a feeling of numbness. So while i am typing this blog i am trying to make it fast so i can lay down and relax this belly of mine :P. My hormones are out of control this past week, and well there is nothing i can really do about them, besides go with the flow. So if i'm having an off day.. well i will apologize now. (: I haven;t been having any cravings this week just anything i can get my chubby little hands on lol. Especially anything sweet! I have been having some what of a sweet tooth! I have been feeling the baby move more and more, those awesome hard kicks right to my bladder are the best ;] I enjoy feeling the baby move and watching my belly move as the baby kicks. Its so crazy.. the past few times Christian has laid on my belly the baby always kicks him. like he's taking up all its space. lol its so cute. This week i also had a doctors appointment which is why i waited so long to update my blog. I had on yesterday. I had to take the gestational diabetes test. The drink that i had to drink was the orange flavor.. now everyone i have heard from says the drinks is nasty that it is so syrupy and sugary, or it made them really sick. Well it was really sugary and syrupy, but it actually didn't bother me. I liked it. It reminded me of drinking a soda, in which i have been craving, but can't drink. So i actually enjoyed it. (: 
                     This past week also was mine and Christian's baby shower! :D It was such a blast to go down to Nevada and see all of our family! When we sent out the invitations we had asked everyone to wear either pink or blue depending on what they thought the baby was going to be..

             These are the shirts that me and christian decided to wear. He is totally sure its a girl, me on the other hand, i decided to wear blue based on my first instinct when i seen our baby in the ultra sound for the first time.. but to be 100 honest.. i have no idea what i think the baby will be :P. We got loads of stuff from all the people who came out to our baby shower! Thank you to everyone who attended! My sister and mom did an awesome job throwing it. I loved all the food and company! We got to spend so much time with both sides of our family. I loved being able to see my nephew and spend time with him. I must say being an aunt is a pretty awesome thing! My nephew is like my mini best friend.. yes he may only be 2 and a half years old.. but he is the best! And so so smart. My sister and Ismael are doing such an awesome job raising him! 

               Well this week has just been full of excitement! And to add in something else exciting! Me and Christian are moving in to our own apartment on Friday! Yes, this Friday! :D Our officially first apartment together! We are so excited! I will post pictures of it on my next blog!


                        This week, well yesterday was my mothers birthday! 

              I know you can see just our eyes of the next picture.. but i wanted to post it like this so..there.
I know she had a good birthday, because i just know these things. (: But Mom your present is going to be so late.. D:. I had some cake yesterday for your birthday also. Thank you Grandma Anderson for having my mother, and thank you mother for having me, because if it wasn't for you i wouldn't be here today and neither would this little baby in my belly!(: i love you even though we get irritated with eachother (:. lol
         Well this is all for this week. Next week is only a few more days away! 
Until next time.
