Indoor Maternity Session

I can seriously say I took way too long to take maternity pictures. I wanted to take some prior to leaving Arizona but the heat was brutal and I was still feeling sick. Once I moved to Texas, it was just pure laziness, trying to settle in and now the weather took a toll (it is beyond cold). I decided to do a mini indoor session with my trusty tripod, self timer and the help of my 9 year old. He is amazing to say the least, love that kid. I wanted some outdoor pictures but it just simply didn't happen, lesson learned.

About my pregnancy: 

• 38 weeks and 6 days
• Baby girl is about 7.5lbs
• Strong heart beat + is in position 
• Sweets is still a major craving

38 Weeks

 We are so close to meeting baby girl (which by the way we are still debating on a name) I feel it is one of those that I have to wait to see her to figure it out. But anyway, baby girl is doing great & we are all just extremely excited to meet her. 

• Baby girl is about 7.5lbs 
• She is very very active: we did an ultrasound last week and it was nearly impossible to get a good look at her since she wouldn't stop moving :) 
• I already have my hospital bag ready (post coming soon) 
• She has very chubby cheeks, lots of hair and we saw her moving her lips and eyes <3

Pregnancy #3

 Baby #3 is just weeks away. This pregnancy has been completely different than with my boys. I got so sick the first trimester (like laying on the floor, i can't move, in need of IV's, throwing up, weakness, massive heartburn: which is still going on, just to name a few). It was very challenging but once the 2nd trimester kicked in i felt much better. Also, in the middle of the pregnancy we decided to move back to texas. Daniel left before us, so i was alone with the kiddos for a good month or so. He went to get us and we made the long journey back to texas. 

It's funny because when people ask me where my kids were born, they were all born in completely different states: California, Arizona, & now Texas!

But here's a compilation of my pregnancy from the beginning until now (37 weeks).

---------------------------

• Cravings: Taco Bell & chocolate candies 
• Symptoms: Since hitting my 3rd trimester braxton hicks have been none stop and getting stronger. i was told i'm already 1-2cm dilated so its just a waiting game. Strangely enough, the nesting stage has not hit me. i washed her clothes and prepared the rolling cart i have with all the necessary essentials, but i'm still behind in everything else (car seat, stroller, diapers, wipes, etc). 
• Due date: Feb 7th (which is also my dad's bday)

37 weeks + 5 days
