Sera's 1st Photoshoot
I did Sera's photos today, she was awesome. She's such a sweetheart! I'm s o lucky to have this little girl in our lives <3
Happy Birth-Day Sera!!
She's here, she's finally here!!! Oh gosh what a day! So we went to the hospital for 7am, c section was schedualed for 9am. I went in got changed and got an iv started...and then waited. I hated waiting...sitting there looking at blank walls and only seeing a huge clock in front of me. Time was going by so slow. 9am came around and just as I figured the nurse came in and told us we'd be delayed about 30-45 minutes. So again we waited. About 40 minutes later it was our turn...our baby girl was going to be born very soon!
We headed down to the OR, i'm so nervous and excited at the same time. I go in and hubby waits outside till i'm all set up. Just like I remember the room was freezing and people people around me were setting things up. I had a spinal and it took 4 times to get the dam thing in. I was shaking from being cold and tense that I couldn't stay still I guess. I was getting pretty annoyed and finally relieved when he got it done. Next I'm layed on the table, warm blankets are put on me....the blue curtain goes up and they start the procedure. Hubby was let in and he sat next to me and we waited in silence for our girl to be born. I remember with Alex the dr did texts on me and asked me if I could feel anything before a cut was made but this time nothing was asked. I'm pretty sure I heard the word testing and I guess I never moved or said anything that they continued on. It felt like forever and then all the sudden I feel tugging, tons of pressure and then someone said we need the vac. I was just thinking how big is she, why can't they get her out....and now they need a vaccum?! A few more minutes later she was out, I felt relief like a huge boulder was lifted off of me and even more when she cried for the first time. I cried along with her....it was so amazing to finally hear her.
They took her to get weighed, measured and cleaned up....hubby was called over to take pics and cut the cord. It felt like forever waiting to finally see her. The nurse finally brought her over and tears just filled me eyes. I was so in love...just like with my last babies.

Maternity Pictures
Today is the day before our daughter is born and I really wanted to get some pics of me and my very large belly before she arrived. I loved the ones that my hubby did for me before Alex was born so I asked him to do them again.
I still can't believe i'll be holding our daughter tomorrow! I feel like I've been pregnant forever and just can't wait till I finally here her cry and have her in my arms.

Belly Art
I saw this idea online...probably pinterest but not 100% sure. Anyways I offered the boys to let them draw on my belly. They were totally up for it and had a blast! They wanted me to wash it off so they could start all over....I said no, once is enough for today lol!
I love how it turned out :)

One more pic!
One more picture and i'm done! Lets hope I make it....I have to lol! 24 days till we get to meet our daughter! I'm so excited!
A look at all 3 pregnancies. I'm glad I did this, it's nice to look back on....even my oldest thinks it's neat and wants to see it all the time.

34 weeks 6 days
I had another Dr appointment today. Baby is doing good, still measuring on track, and heartbeat is at 155. The Dr asked me if I had any questions or concerns and once again I complained about the pain in my side. Before she said she couldn't do anything and that is was probably the baby's foot stuck in my ribs. I've had the same pain but getting worse since about 18 weeks. I explained that my pain felt like a stabbing pain or an open wound kind of pain. I was also concerned because the baby moves so much and if it was her leg stuck in my ribs then you'd think i'd be able to feel tugging in that spot but I feel no movement there, just pain. She got out a form to book an ultrasound for me right away. I'm glad, I want to know if it's actually a foot or something else and i'd rather know now rather than later. I hope to hear back Monday as to when my ultrasound will be....can't wait to see my little babe again too <3
Been busy being crafty!
Well i'm now 34 weeks pregnant! The day I get to meet my baby girl is getting really close. My heart beats a little faster as each week goes by! I been realizing how close it's getting and had all these things I've been wanting to make my baby girl...so this past week I started and have accomplished a lot :)
First off I made her a baby wipes case....love these things and so does everyone who buys them from me. It beats carrying around those ugly white containers ;)
Second I made her a hair accessory holder. She will definitely need more of these...her first one is all full of hair stuff I made a while back to sell but now it's all for her :) I love how it turned out!!
And last I just finished her car seat canopy last night. I wish I had started sewing before my first was born...I would have loved to make these for each of my boys. Ohh, I can't wait till she's here to enjoy all this girly stuff! I'm still weirded out when I walk in my bedroom and see girly stuff...it's been 5 years of all boy colors, it is a nice refreshing change to see some brighter colors :)
Tonight my next project is a purple flower blanky with purple minky dot on the underside. I hate sewing minky but i'll do anything for my baby girl :)

Birthday Party
We had Alex's birthday party this past weekend. He had a great time which is all that matters...and I will end it with that and some pictures!
The room is ready!
The room is finally ready! I'm so excited and so ready for her to come. Sera will share a room with us like Alex did and wow her corner is a whole lot of girly lol! I love it but it's going to take a bit to get used to. The boys bedding was neutral and this is all girly pink and purple! Kevin walked in the room as I was putting the finishing touches up and he just smiled....not sure if that was good or bad lol!
I'm so glad the room is done... just need to organize a few of her drawers and get a few odds and ends but other than that we are ready. The boys can't wait to meet there baby sister!
