My first quilt for Caleb

I wanted to make Caleb a blanket that would be big enough for his toddler bed when he got older. Turned out pretty well for my first attempt anyway :)

It's been a rough week , I've been extremely exhausted. I called the doctor and she said my hemoglobin is really low. Which means my iron is low.....making me extremely extremely tired!!! So hopefully adding more to my diet will bring some of my energy back. Caleb has been very active still so thats been good. I'll try to post an updated picture on thursday if I can.

Caleb is 28 Weeks!

Sorry its been so long since I've posted it's been very busy and I've been very tired. :) Thank you for being patient with me. I promise to keep up with it better. I can't believe I'm already in my 3rd trimester! This pregnancy so far has really flown by. I hope that it keeps on flying! Little Caleb will be here before we know it.  My wonderful sisters will be throwing my baby shower on July 21st so I'm excited about that. Caleb is starting to get a regular routine. He seems to sleep for 40 min then is awake for a little while then asleep for around 40 minutes. He also seems to be a little night owl but does seem to sleep in in the morning so thats good. He's just like his Mamma :). I've been feeling him have the hiccups which is really cute.


How far along? 28 Weeks
Baby is the size of a: Eggplant and weighs about 2.5 -3 lbs
Total weight gain: 13 lbs
Stretch marks? Only on my boobs so far!
Sleep: Whats that? Sleep is so over rated anyway, right? No, I have not been sleeping well at all. I have terrible back pain and hip pain. I've starting going to the Chiropractor last week and that seems to be helping a lot.
Best moment this week: Getting to hang with tons of family and friends this weekend. My BF from High school came to visit we had a blast, as well as my sister and her family and so did my parents and nephews and lots of cousins :) We all had a blast! 
Miss Anything: I miss being able to eat a whole meal. I cant seem to eat much at one time anymore. Guess there isn't much room in there for food :)
Food cravings: Salads, bagels w/ cream cheese w/ a slice of tomato on top, ice, and finally I'm craving sweets. :)
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope
Labor Signs: I've had some Braxton Hicks over the last few weeks. 
Symptoms: Heartburn :/, Fatigue, charlie horses in my calfs, aches and pains, stiffness, back pain, hip pain, and sleeplessness.
Wedding rings on or off? All my jewelry is still fitting but when it gets hot they are REALLY tight.
Happy or Moody most of the time: I've been feeling pretty emotional the last few weeks. Doesn't seem to take much to make me tear up.
Looking forward to: Finding a new to me car (yes, I'm still looking). Looking forward to my trip to SC for my nieces 5th birthday! So excited to go and see them :)
