bAbY bUrKe (LonDyN aNN) WeeK 28 & 29

 I am combining the last two weeks because honestly I have been so busy I have not had time to keep up with this.

 How far along: 29 Weeks and 2 days

Symptoms: wish I could say the nausea has eased up but it has not. That is ok though . I am so hormonal it seems like it is much worse than first trimester I am missing 2nd trimester but am so happy our little princess is almost here. I am so tired all the time it doesn't take a lot  for me to get completely worn out.

Sleep:I have been sleeping so much better!My dreams have been crazy... the other night my dream was so vivid that I swore I could hear Londyns actual little cry and I woke up panicking , it was so real and I was responsive right away.

Food Cravings::I  have been craving so much fruit. This whole pregnancy I have been craving fruit, it's like pregnancy got my body back to normal because I don't really like eating junk and fast food like I liked to before I got pregnant . I now crave all healthy foods like fruit,salad and cucumbers. but I do crave cupcakes and Eggo's a lot oh and Jamba juice ,I get a jamba juice' like every day

Best moment of the week: there were a couple these last two weeks the best one of all was going in for the 3d ultra sound and getting a closer view of Londyn, we even got a pic of her smiling and I have not been able to stop watching the dvd they sent home with us. She is happy and healthy it's hard to say who she looks more like I thought for sure she was a mini Greg but the more I look at the pics the more I see me as well. We do know for sure that she has her daddy's full lips,full head of hair and long fingers,she has my long legs (they measured really long) ,my toes and my feet and she may have my nose we can not tell yet. Another great moment was my baby shower my mom,sisters Jodi Jeni and Katee threw me. Great people came who love and support me , there was great food, my mother in law is making Londyns blessing dress and made a beautiful quilt,my mom is almost finished with Londyns crib bedding and I am in love, my sisters all got cute little outfits and Holly my sister in law made some cute blankets and bows that I just love oh and lets not forget my Diaper Bag! my sisters,Greg and mom all went in on this pricey,beauty of a diaper bag I have had my eye on for 3 years ( ever since Greg and I first started trying to conceive) and I am so in love with it . Thank u everybody who came to my shower and for all the great gifts it was amazing.

Movement: She is constantly moving !!!Like I said she kicks most at night and she has been kicking my ribs a lot which gets a little uncomfortable, she gets shy when ever I am around other people though I get all excited and tell them to come feel her move and by the time they touch my stomach she stops . The only two people she seems to wanna kick for is her daddy and I. It's so funny because Greg will get home from work and she had not been kicking at all but than he kisses my stomach and  says "hi my beautiful little princess were u good for mommy today? Daddy loves u" than she starts kicking like she is dancing in the or something . Her and her daddy already are so in love with each other I love it. People can now see her move from across the room as well too ha ha 

Labor Signs: nope, and we are so blessed to have a healthy baby who is growing at the right rate 

Gender: Baby Burke is a GIRL!! we knew it all along and we are so so excited. We have been hoping the baby would be a girl and we both just are so happy.We already have such a great connection  I can't wait for all the fun that comes with having a girl such as   painting  her nails,doing her hair,dressing her up and so much more.I love love love shopping for her , she already has more shoes than her daddy and She already has daddy wrapped around her little finger.

Belly button innie or outie:Innie but it has now grown to an outie

What I miss: having more energy

What I am looking forward to: Just finally  finishing our shopping list and having all we need for Londyn, we are almost there

Milestones: We have made it to the final trimester YAY! and if Londyn were born now she could survive but we are happy that I will carry her to full term and she's healthy . 

Baby Purchase:  oh wow lots. we have her dresser now for her room,I have bought tons of clothes and dresses 

Weekly Wisdom; make sure to rest and not push yourself to much or let those annoying hormones bring u down. Just realize that whatever your upset about probably isn't a big deal and that your just emotional. Now is also a very important time to surround yourself with those people in your life who support you and love you for you. I got rid of the people who only brought me down starting in my first trimester and honestly it is the best thing I could have ever done for my daughter and I. Do I wish those people could share this happiness with me? ya sometimes but than I remember that those people are probably at a very bad place in their life and don't really know how to be happy for other people, especially me and I don't need that nor does my daughter. I have never been happier and I know a big part of how happy I am has come from me being strong and only surrounding myself with those who are happy for me and proud of me for all I have over come not those who just want to bring me down and remind me of my past. I am sorry they still live there but I have wiped my hands cleaned of my past, grown up ALOT and am a much better person because of it and maybe those people are just not meant to be part of my happy present & future and maybe that's why I am so much happier. :) always do whats best for you and your baby 

Swelling:Nope!

Stretch Marks: Nope and I am so thankful for that and hope I don't get them. My mom hardly got them and I don't think my sisters did either so I am keeping my fingers crossed  but if I do get them down the road it wont be the worse thing. My baby girl is totally worth it

Pregnancy PerkI I am in love with my baby girl and love seeing how in love her daddy is with her too. I love feeling her kick. I love seeing myself become more and more responsible each day and I know I am going to be a great mom.I also love dressing my bump . I personally like the way pregnant woman look , I think it is when a woman is most beautiful and my husband still thinks I am sexy if not sexier :) I have a hard time believing  that one ha ha

Embarrassing moment:being grumpy and emotional, to me that's embarrassing ha ha

Londyn smiling for us. It's so comforting to know my little doll is healthy,happy and safe.

Yep, we did it. We paid the extra 100.00 to get a close up and better pic of our little Miss and we are so happy we did it. The day we did it was my prenatal visit and before we saw the doctor we went in for the ultra sound. Londyns head is now in the center middle of the bottom of my belly and she was looking strait down at the ground we tried for a half hour strait to get her to look up but she had to be sleeping or something because she was being stubborn. So the ultra sound tech told us to go see the doctor and eat a little chocolate so maybe that would wake Londyn a  little and the tech  would try to fit us in after we met with the doctor . So I chowed down on some chocolate and juice and  we waited after the apt for 25 min. I knew it worked because Londyn was kicking up a storm, we were so happy The tech could fit us back in but when we got back to the room Londyn was too hyper this time, she wouldn't put her hands down and away from her face so they asked me to come back the next day and try in the morning. Sure enough baby girl was kicking up a storm in the morning. It is like she knew exactly what to do,she was making thee cutest faces and we even got a pic of her smiling :) I can't say for sure who she looks like the most but her side profile looks just like her daddy's,she has her daddy's long fingers, she has my long legs, they measured her and she has some long legs :),she has my toes and feet and she for sure has her daddy's beautiful full lips and full head of hair. She is beautiful and perfect. I love her with all my heart, I still am completely shocked each time I go in for an ultra sound and see her pop up on the screen, it's hard to believe that by this time last year I had lost all hope in having a baby and never thought I would be preparing for my beautiful baby girl to arrive in two months. She is our little miracle and I thank the lord every single day for her . I already have such a strong connection with her and it's amazing how connected she is with Greg as well. She will not be kicking at all and than when he starts to sing to my belly she is all over the place and dancing inside my belly, they are so in love with each other and I cry every time I feel her and see my belly move. We truly are blessed and I have been on cloud 9 for 7 months now. Nothing can tear me down or take away this feeling because I now have everything I have ever wanted in life. It's funny how unimportant  things are now that were SO important  to me 9 months ago. Such as materialistic things,the way I look,what others think,keeping up with the jones's,etc those things are so silly. From the age I can remember I have always loved fashion and dressing up that will always be something I just love and I love doing hair and looking my best but it's not my whole world. I look at these girls who don't eat and feed their babies while their pregnant because their so worried about looking fat and I think wow! really? why take something so special for granted? that is so selfish. Maybe it's because of how long I have waited for Londyn or maybe it's that I really thought I would never have her but  being skinny,dieting and exercising never crosses my mind. Yes I will always love dressing up and looking my best but never will I put that before the health of my baby or risk loosing her. I am a mom now and she is my number one priority. I am thee luckiest girl in the world to have Greg,Londyn,and Jax we may not have the nicest house in the neighborhood,or the most expensive car and clothes but to me we have everything we will ever need and we are happy, that is all I can ever ask for . Here are the pics of our beautiful daughter we are in love. p.s if u have been following my weekly updates on my pregnancy sorry I haven't posted week 28 yet, I have been extremely busy so I will probably just combine it with week 29 I have all the pics and stuff but I am just getting caught up on more important things at the moment it will be posted soon I promise.
