8 MONTHS!!, 3D PICTURES, AND MORE!

Its crazy how fast time has gone..

Last time I did an update I was only like 28 weeks! 

That is a month ago!!

Sorry, I have just been going and going,

and when I stop to take a rest I sleep..

not going to lie.. 

So I have been in the third tri for a month now..

and I feel awesome..

Everyone said that the third tri is the worst..

but so far its a piece of cake compared to the first tri..

Seeing how the first tri was a complete nightmare,

that I had to go to the doctor every week,

have my blood drawn a million and a half times,

I was sick 24/7,

and had absolutely no energy.

But now.. 

I rarely get sick, 

I will start going to the doctor every 2 weeks 

starting next Thursday..

my pregnancy is awesome,

and HEALTHY.. 

and.. since I dont have to work or do anything,

I get to rest whenever I feel I need to. 

:) 

I am one lucky gal.

Which I am glad that my high risk pregnancy,

has turned into a a pregnancy

I can somewhat enjoy :)

okay.. okay.. 

so.. I of course was starting to get a little stretch marks,

like on my thighs,

and so I did some research online and found out the vitamin E oil works wonders..

So I went and got some.. 

Not going to lie, it was quite spendy..

For this little bottle, 

it was close to $30..

But oh my..

I have been using it for a week now,

and they have faded way down..

Now if only I could remember to use it everyday..

They would be gone I believe..

Its amazing..

After Kruz's debut I am going to be buying everything to get rid of them..

so then..

I can look like a cute lil mama :) 

31 weeks and 1 day!

Now about my little man..

He is 32 weeks today..

which means he weighs 

about 4 pounds :)

He will gain a 1/3 to 1/2 of his birth weight during the next 7 weeks.. 

 He has everything he needs to come visit,

 but, we will of course leave him in their for the next couple weeks

to make him a full term baby,

and to have his little organs ready to face this world.

Fielding has been gone for 3 months now..

and so I have been staying with my mom in Idaho,

until Fielding comes home in about 3 weeks, 

and then we will be moving into our own place,

and be that much closer to having little Kruz with us :)

I am majorly excited for my little family to be one again! :) 

So every other weekend my mom has my nephew Creek,

 Everyone meet Creek.

He enjoys jam sandwiches with cheese.. :)

So with him coming to stay,

He always says the cutest things..

such as..

"Karissa, do you have a belly ache..? because your belly is big."

"You look like Santa Claus"

"I love Kruzy, because he is my cousin"

"Karissa, I hope you know, Kruz is going to come out of your fingernail.."

haha.

He always gets me laughing..

So.. Anyways this weekend we had him,

and we went up to Ashton, ID

to my grandma's house..

She lives on the mountain, 

and its absolutely beautiful.. :)
After going up there for a visit,

and picking some corn on the cob,

we decided to take a trip to BIG JUDS!

Now for all of you that have never been to Idaho..

This hamburger joint is so flipping delicious..!

and the hamburger is bigger than my head.. 

lets just say 5 people shared this huge thing.. :)

So if you ever come into town,

take a stop there.. :)

YUM! 

and then Creek found his dinosaur stickers, 

and decided to give baby Kruz one..

After staring at his stickers for 5 minutes trying to find one that was not "girly"

he finally found this one..

and carefully put it on my stomach,

making sure to not hurt Kruz..

Its Kruz's first sticker! :)

Anyways.. 

So.. 

After talking about my belly button for a long time..

on all the drastic changes..

It is now an outie.. 

30 weeks and 1 day

This was a few weeks ago, and now it pokes out at the top..

Might just have to tape it down ;)

Oh my.. 

I ALMOST FORGOT..

Remember that 3D/4D ultrasound I was telling you all about..

Well.. Here is our little man.. 

In this one.. He wouldn't show us his face, 

so its his little hand and arm covering his face.. 

You can see his cute little eye closed.

 He finally moved his hand away from his face

but covered his mouth for the rest of the ultrasound..

Look at his cute little button nose. :)

 His hand and arm looks deformed because he was in the

middle of moving when the picture was taken :)

 

The whole time he wouldn't co-operate..

I think he just wants to be a surprise :)

but as you guys may know by now..

Fielding and I dont do surprises, 

seeing how we found out the gender a month early,

and now got this ultrasound done..

I hope soon I can figure out how to upload the videos of him on here..

because those are the coolest..

He moves his little fingers and at the end he was sucking his thumb..

yes..

I think we have a thumb sucker on our hands.. :-/

Anyways.. I hope you enjoyed, 

and hopefully I included everything.

These next couple weeks, I will try to be better..

WE ONLY HAVE 8 OR LESS! :)

27 Weeks, SLACKER!

Well..

I am not going to lie.

I have slacked big time these last couple weeks.

I had my baby shower..

and well. 

It took a lot of time to help my mom get everything ready. :) 

and my shower went great,

and we had SO MANY people show up!!

Fielding is one happy daddy because we dont 

really need that much anymore..

Just mostly diapers, wipes, bottles,

and little (but important) things..

Anyways..

I am almost ready for this lil man to join our family..

:)

and it feels great.

So.. Yesterday I was 27 weeks..

I read on the internet that people say 26, 27, and 28 weeks are the third tri..

Well..

by the math it would be the 27th week..

so.. 

HAPPY 3RD TRI KRUZ!!

 I am one happy momma for having a healthy baby this far along..

His survival rate is now up to 90%!!

Which makes me feel unbelievably awesome!!

I remember when I was so excited and called Fielding,

just to tell him that Kruz had a 60% chance of living.. 

Now this little boy, 

is getting so strong and big..

I just wish I could give him cute little kisses :) 

But.. enough about my excitment.. 

LOOK HOW HUGE I AM GETTING..

My mom said that I will probably double in size.. 

and I think by then..

I will be toppling over ;)

My 4 year old nephew came up to me and asked me if it was a pillow..

I replied "nope, its my belly.."

So then he started giggling and said "Let me see then.."

I lifted up my shirt, and he busted up laughing at my stomach..

haha.

That darn kid.. haha. 

Anyways.. We have about 13 weeks left,

but hopefully only like 10 ;)

Hopefully Fielding will be home by the end of September,

So we can get everything situated before Kruz makes his debut :) 

I have my doctors appointment on the 21st..

Which is Tuesday..

Its when I am going to be taking my glucose test, 

and getting to make sure my lil man is safe :)

I will let you know how it all goes. :)

25 Weeks, and pictures!

So.. I am 25 Weeks yesterday!

and my little guy is getting big.

Every website says something different..
One said he was the size of a rutabuga..
One said he wast the size of a swede..
but those are just so ugly,
how could you refer them to a little tiny angel.
so.. I chose to post this one.. :)

a cute little papaya..
:) PRECIOUS!

I know my baby is bigger than this,
seeing how he is weighing and the size of a 28 week old..
but.. hey..
whatever..

Yesterday I read that he can now breathe,

if he was born :)

That was quite comforting..

This morning when I woke up,

I started panicking.. 

In 15 weeks or less,

Fielding and I will be parents..

and I came to the realization that

I dont know how to take care of newborns.

I dont know how to cut little tiny fingernails,

I dont know how to bathe them without getting their umbilical cords wet..

I dont know how to do pretty much everything with newborns.. 

I know how to take care of toddlers no problemo.!

So.. I think it might be time to sign up for a few classes..

Freshen up my skills for my adorable son :)

Anyways.. So Last week when Fielding was home,

We went out and took pictures.

I wasn't feeling that "hot"

and cried that morning because I actually realized in the mirror how HUGE I am.. 

but.. Now I have realized that...

My little baby boy obviously needs all the room in there..

So. 

I am okay now..

Except when someone makes a fat joke. 

;) 

But here are the pictures. :) 

ENJOY! 

Neihlee Muir took the photos.

She did an awesome job at them..

Seeing how I am overly large,

and that same day I realized how big I was, 

and started my day out feeling quite bohemoth :) 

They turned out better than I thought they would have.

THANK YOU NEIHLEE!

 If you didn't already know.. Sunflowers are kinda mine and Fieldings thing..

We had our first date in a sunflower field in Romania :) 

 

It makes me so happy that Kruz is going to have this man as a daddy..

:) 

Look how handsome and happy he looks to become a daddy in just 15 or fewer short weeks.

Well.. thats pretty much all I have for you today. 

I have a lot of errands to run, 

So adios.
