It's official....

Well I am finally at that point where I can no longer sleep! I wish it had to do with my body not wanting to sleep, but its not. First pregnancy I broke my rib and it seems to be causing me issues again!! Not because it is broken, but honestly I think it is because I am carrying so high, plus have these ginormous boobs right on them! I seriously wish lipo was available for pregnant women that have boobs that are out of control ;) I feel like I have tried everything. We even moved my side of the bed up against the wall just so I could lean up against it and surround my self with pillows. It worked for the first night, but that was obviously short lived. Pretty much all I can do is sleep on my back. Which I honestly love, but all night that turns into a major back problem. I just want my ribs to be back to normal. If anyone has a temper pedic that they want to let me borrow please don't hesitate to offer it! Haha!!

I know I know I should't complain because I get this amazing gift with only a couple more months of this lame thing, but still I think its my given right to have some complaints during pregnancy! There is a lot about pregnancy I LOVE,but as any woman there is going to be something or at least one thing they wish they didn't have during pregnancy. In my case its my size E boobs, ribs, and morning sickness:) If someone says there is nothing they hate while being pregnant they lie!!:)

On a lighter note Rylee was having issues sleeping last night and Aaron was gone so she came in my bed and      we literally stayed up till 1:15 just cuddled up watching cartoons. I loved every min of it!! Most kids when they get older they hate to cuddle, but not Rylee. If she had it her way she would allow us to still rock her to sleep. I love it when she comes in my room and says, "You wanna cuddle." How could you say no to that? I don't ever want that to change, but my guess when she gets older it wont happen anymore, so I will take advantage of it now:)

Heart melting!!

I have to blog about mine and Rylees conversation today.... Rylee comes out of her room and says, "Mom my sister comes out today?"
Me: No not yet about 2 1/2 more months
Rylee: This sure is taking long!
Me: I know, but she has to grow big and strong in mommy's belly so she will be healthy when she is ready to come out.
Rylee: I'm just so happy I have a little sister Mom!
Me: I'm happy you are going to have a sister.
Rylee: I'm going to cry
Me: Why baby girl?
Rylee: Because I am so happy I will cry!

Seriously love hearing how happy Rylee is about a sister. Half of our conversations during the day are about how excited she is. After our conversation I got on baby center and showed her the picture of a baby in my belly at 29 weeks and she literally believes that is a picture of her sister in my belly. Took my phone into her room and was talking to this picture showing her sister her new bed. My heart was melting the whole time! It was one of those happy tear jerking moments. I am crazy about my sweet Rylee and she makes the excitement of adding another family member even better!

Feeling good!!

All of this warm weather we have been having has been so fabulous! I'm a little happy that the rain is coming in just so it can keep me out of the sun for a few days. One of my main self conscious issues I had was being so dang white! I don't have that pretty white skin and with my dark hair I look like I just walked off the set of twilight! OK maybe I am over exaggerating, but I still feel that way. So pretty much Aaron, Rylee and I have spent all our time outside soaking up the sun. Being next to Aaron though I still look so white only cause him and Rylee have the most beautiful olive skin tone and can literally be outside for 30 mins and look like they have been on a tropical vacation. Not to mention when Rylee goes outside she ALWAYS is wearing SPF 50 and still gets that amazing tan. Rylee looked at me the other day and says, "Mom you have a Princess Tiana tan." It was the sweetest thing ever!( I'm for sure not that tan) Its funny how a 3 year old words can boost your self esteem.
My sweet cravings has finally kicked in for me! The last trimester of my pregnancy with Rylee all I wanted/ate was candy. This time its not so much candy, but I want that sweet flavor of things. Syrup is probably my main one! In the mornings if Aaron sees me make my waffles he will always ask if I want waffles with my syrup and butter. Its really pretty funny only cause its true! I drench my waffles in syrup and if I am having one of my sweet tooth's that where I go. Yesterday Aaron took us to Jamba Juice and normally I would just get a normal fruit Jamba, but I saw the peanut butter moo'd I was all over that! All I can say was I was in heaven and was  finally able to finish a Jamba all by myself. Probably something only a pregnant girl would understand.
I am getting so jealous of the girls that have their sweet little angels already in their arms or that are so close to their due date. I am trying to be patient, but the closer I get the harder it gets! I just try to tell myself that just cause I am getting close to my due date that doesn't mean I will have her in 10 or 11 weeks. If its anything thing like Rylee I will be stuck being dilated to a 4 for a month and still having to be induced after going a week over my due date. Plus I still have stuff I need to get, clothes I need to wash and a few more things done to her little bed area. So patience please come to me:)

Fun Zoo trip

Her eyes make me melt!

My little rat dog loved the pool and sun also!

Oh Jeez!!!!

Aaron and I were talking last night at dinner and we brought up the baby. We discussed that 2 1/2 months and 77 days still seem pretty far away, but 11 to 10 weeks away seems so close!! I started to freak out! We have pretty much everything we need except a name. I always said I wanted to wait to see her till I give her a name, but now its kind of stressing me out. I don't know why this time around is so hard! With Rylee is was so easy, I had her name picked out way before she was born. Although I can't even remember how I picked the name Rylee. Once the name was picked the spelling came right to me. A little while back we asked Rylee if she liked Rian and ever since then she has called her baby sister Rian. I have always loved the name "Ryan" for a a girl spelled a feminine way. My problem is there are so many different girl spellings for this name, I have no idea how to spell it. Aaron really likes the spelling RIAN and my mother likes the spelling RYANN. Of course me I am so stuck!! I love them both! Rian just seems so unique and girly and I love Ryann because we keep the "RY" to match Rylee's name. I worry with Rian that people are going to get dyslexic on us an call her Rain and with Ryann I am afraid people are going to call her Ry-Ann. OK my reason for this blog is..................

HELP ME!!!!!

I need and want some help on spelling. So please please share your favorite way on spelling her name, It will help me lots and lots and I would greatly appreciate it.

Should it be....

*Rian?

*Ryann?

So productive!

The last two days Aaron and I have been so busy with yard work. The front yard is pretty easy, but as soon as you hit the backyard it gets a little bit difficult! Only because it's huge! It's probably 2000 sq ft give or take some. So being pregnant and doing yard work makes it even more difficult, but Aaron and I really enjoy doing it together:) Not only do we do, but Rylee does too. She will walk around and pick up the weeds we have pulled. Nothing like I used to be when I was little, I would have taken being grounded over yard work!
I am so sore from the last two days of pretty much doing squats that I told Aaron tomorrow and Sunday the only thing I'm doing with the yard is getting in my skimpy 2 piece swim suit with my tanning oil and soaking up the sun! I think it's well deserved after all that work:)

7 MONTHS!!!

Oh my goodness I seriously feel like this pregnancy is flying by! You would think that I would feel like it is going by so slow, but I told myself this pregnancy I will enjoy every moment and I have, minus the 1st trimester. When you think July it still seems so far away, but then when you think full term is considered 37 weeks and this little angel 'could' be here in 9 weeks is crazy! I wont lie though I hope that isn't the case and she stays in till 40 weeks. I love me a chunky newborn:) If its anything like it was with Rylee I probably wont have this baby till 41 weeks with an induction. I am going to hope and pray this baby comes on her own though. I had a really good induced labor with Rylee but I want to be able to experience the going into labor naturally. We will see though either way it happens as long as she is healthy I am totally fine with that. For some reason this time around I am so so so so so so so nervous about labor! I can't really pin point why, but I am pretty nervous about it. We can't wait to meet this sweet girl!
Not much as changed in the last 4 weeks other than my weight. At my last appointment I weighed 130 and on my scale it says I am at 135. That makes me a little nervous only cause I got to 145 with Rylee and I am getting closer and closer to that number. I know I shouldn't worry seeing as a still "look" tiny, but it is still stressful. I wont lie though that number WILL NOT stop me from eating. I have started to drink 64oz of water a day and that has really helped with keeping me from getting hungry an hour after I have eaten plus it has helped so much with water retention. I didn't realize how much water I was retaining till after I started drinking more water. My fingers and toes can get pretty swollen, but that happens even when I'm not pregnant. (Thanks Mom) I had to say goodbye to my wedding and toe rings. Its actually kind of scary when you have them on and start to swell!
I have been feeling her move around so much more! She loves to hang out on the right side with her sweet little feet right under my ribs. It can get pretty uncomfortable at times, but I still love it! She is totally our child when it comes to sleep! Very active starting out at about 10pm till about 12am and then is calm and passed out until the next day around 10am. I pretty much would love that schedule when she is born! Lets just hope she is like Rylee when Rylee was a newborn. Slept through the night at 2 weeks old and didn't get moving till about 8 or 9am. Best advice I was ever given by my mother, "Never wake a sleeping baby." In the hospital they were so weird with me waking Rylee up every 2 to 3 hours. After I left the hospital and literally got zero sleep due to that I finally took my moms advice and did not wake her and let her figure out her own schedule and voila she was sleeping and eating at a wonderful schedule. Lesson learned!!! As for me when it comes to being pregnant and sleeping I don't have a problem at all! As soon as I hit the bed I am zonked out! I miss sleeping on my belly and I have cheated a lot when it comes to sleep. I am not a big fan of side sleeping  so I fall asleep on my back and if I end up on my side I end up there, but I normally get wonderful sleep.
Now I just can't wait till it gets hot so I can buy Rylee a pool and me just hang out in it with her to get some sun! Her is the recent belly pic:)

27 weeks with both:)

Craft and decor

I definitely love a good craft session! I am always doing new projects around the house. When we got back from Disneyland I was feeling like my living room needed some color, So I decided to go on a little hunt for new ideas on new decor. First I wanted new pillows and planned on just making them, but when I came across some cute pillows for CHEAP I figured I would end up spending the same amount on fabric, stuffing and all those little odds and ends so I went ahead and bought them. Of course I couldn't stop there! I had to have a new dinning room rug. Yes HAD to have;) We looked at a few different place and last min Aaron suggested RC Willey and my first reaction was oh jeez! 1. That store is my weakness and 2. It is crazy expensive! I knew we were going to go in there and see rugs for $300 to who knows what! Not to mention I am a huge bargain shopper so none of that was in my price range. As we are looking through the rugs I run into one that I loved, but told myself that I needed time to think about it and I would just come back the next day to get it if I have decided that I had to have it. By the next day I knew I had to have it, went in and saw a sold tag on it. I couldn't believe it and was so mad at myself. Aaron decided to take me to another RC Willey's and after several different ones we finally found the same rug and they marked it down to the damaged clearance price of the first one. Brand new rug for $200 off I think that was a steal!

I'm very happy with those changes. I was starting to feel like I lived in a bachelor pad and its amazing what a new rug and pillows can do for a room! So of course I do all that I will most likely need some new wall decor to go with all of it. My Girl friend Jessica and I got together and decided to do a craft night of wall decor. Of course we got the idea off of Pinterest (who doesn't get their ideas of there these days) It was so funny cause I was getting so frustrated with the modge podge cause all it wanted to do was bubble on me this time and I had no idea why! Come to find out after just letting it sit the bubbles will just come out on its own. Who would have thought?! I hung them up and came back a couple hours later and they were gone:) I definitely need to put more decor on my table, but I need to brain storm more on what I need to do.

I can't wait till I can hit the bedroom when I get my new sleep number bed! I have Ideas that I want to do from once again from Pinterest.

 Honestly I would love to be able to paint and do all that other random home renovations, but if you know me well enough you know that I am always changing my mind on things later down the road and getting new ideas. If you ask anyone I am always changing my stuff around every 6 months to a year. I think with paint that would get extremely expensive!! So I think for now I better stick to just doing the random small things around the house cause we all know it would will be different in a few months:)
