35 weeks with Stella
Wow just 5 weeks to go!!! Overall I feel great every once in a while I feel real tired and achy but I think that's normal with the growing baby! I have started getting the nauseous feeling at night time but if I just go to bed usually it goes away! I don't feel prepared for Stella at all I have so much to do and things to finish but love just playing with Cavin and enjoying our time together! I've been thinking a lot about when she'll come and how she'll come and all the scenarios that could happen! Surprisingly I'm not too nervous I'm just excited! I think she's going to be a big baby but maybe I'll be wrong, I just don't remember feeling cavin this big!
Cavin has been getting excited for Stella and loves to kiss the my belly and put his head down and listen to her and be close to her every night he says good night to her!!
The doctor says everything is good stella is headdown And ready to go but no signs of coming anytime soon. I think because Cavin was late I think she's going to be late and I hope she'll be early a little bit even just a few days!! But I can't complain because I still feel really good, just big and heavy!
*update, I wrote this yesterday then this morning I woke up with a lot of cramps and didn't' feel good at all, my thought was Stella must be dropping, this is the time Cavin dropped and I thought I was going to have him early because he was so low and I ached a lot, so wasn't too worried. I kept going and going playing and chasing Cavin but by 9 am I was in a lot of pain and knew I needed to lay down, so I gated Cavin in the basement with me and I laid down while he brought me toys and I tried to play with him and relax. I just wasn't feeling better, so I called Marcus and told him to come home as soon as he could and not go to work after school. 11 o clock hit and my fears where getting higher, I was having contractions every 5 minutes, they didn't get closer or stronger so just prayed and wait til marcus got home, as soon as he got home and took Cavin at 12 I was feeling a little better, still really crampy and achy but not like before, so we put cavin down and i was feeling better so tried to clean up a little from the "letting Cavin go wild and I don't care"and one trip up the stairs and it was back.
I'm still 5 weeks out! Im not ready for this little girl, well I'm ready for her but her stuff isn't ready!!
I'm back in bed laying down and drinking lots of water. I don't feel good but don't feel like I'm in labor either so not sure what's going on! hopefully a nap will do that trick!! I need at least 2 more weeks!!

33 weeks
This pregnancy has gone a lot faster then with Cavin!! Probably cause he keeps me so busy! I love it! I think being a mom is the greatest job in the world! It is a hard job but the most rewarding!! I love my little guy so much! I'm sure I'll love this little girl just as much, and have a special bond with her, I think with Cavin he's my first so there is something so special about that. With this little girl I think there is something so special about being a mom to a little girl! I have a special relationship with my mom and I dream of having that with my little girl!
I went to the doctor today and everything is looking good! She is growing, moving, and everything she is supposed to right on track! I start going every 2 weeks now so that's always crazy cause that means the end is in sight!! I'm so super excited and getting a little over ready to hold her, but on the other hand I can't believe I just have 7 weeks!! That's nothing!! (Until I'm so big and uncomfortable, then it seems to drag on forever!!)) I oh course want her to come a little early, just because I know how hard that last month of waiting is and everyday I wake up hoping today's the day!!
This past week I have felt sick most nights and the heartburn is getting harder to control. But over all things are going great! I feel huge and achy most days, but totally normal and manageable this time around! I have been sleeping pretty good so that's a huge blessing!
Cavin seems to love my belly, he thinks it's a drum!! Maybe he's telling his sister to come out and play!!! I don't know if he really gets it or not but he'll sign baby when I tell him there's a baby in mommy's tummy. I'm sure his whole world will change but I really hope to be able to love and play with him everyday, love i do now! I'm trying to cut back on extras in my life so I can be the best mom! I love being a mom so why not be the best at it!
Other big news in our family, Marcus has been excepted into 3 medical schools!!!! Yeah!! Florida, Chicago, and Des Moines. We are so proud of him and all his hard work! I feel so lucky to have a great husband that is smart and such a hard worker! I wish there was more I could do to show him just how grateful and proud I am of him! As of right now I pick Des Moines, but he still has more interviews and waiting to hear back so we'll see! I'm just so grateful we got in somewhere!

16 month Cavin and 31 weeks pregnant
I have started to get so excited to have a little girl!! I can't wait to dress her up and put hair bows on her bald little head!! Maybe she'll shock us all with hair but my guess is she'll be bald like her older brother!
I have had some crazy dreams lately about her and it makes me want her here more!!
I have started having acid reflex but again nothing like with Cavin! I also started feeling neasueous at night time, so I just want to go to bed so it goes away! I'm not as hungry as I was, I think it has something to do with a big baby pushing on my tummy and making me feel full a lot faster!
Baby stella is in my ribs a lot more then I ever remember with Cavin, which is hard but I think a lot easier then super low in my hips, I just remember being achey with cavin to sit to stand and every thing I did, so I take the ribs any day!
Marcus has been gone a lot with all his medical school interviews which I'm grateful he has but so hard to have him gone!
This week I have been missing him a lot and not feeling great because I'm so emotional and working a lot harder with him gone, no breaks for this pregnant mom. I have been having a lot more Braxton hicks and even some painful contractions, that have scared me, but I just lay down and rest and try not to stress and them seem to slow down!
The hardest part of this pregnancy for me is I LOVE LOVE LOVE being a mom and I have to slow down and I feel so bad for Cavin, I know he loves me and I know he knows I love him, but I just don't want to lose one day with him, because I really have felt so blessed and lucky each day I have to be a mom! I have to learn to sit down and rest some times so I can run and chase him all day!!
I will admit I was a little worried he wasn't talking enough or learning what he needed to but all of a sudden he is learning so much! so to all you moms out there that wonder if your kids knows enough or is on track remember every kid learns at their own pace! Which everyone told me but I still worried until now I see he just exploded with all his knowledge!!!
He is signing, dancing, talking, and babbling so much these days. He has really learned his own language, I love just listening to him and he knows exactly what he's saying and I have no idea!! He makes my heart just explode!
He still loves to be outside! Bikes, Sandbox, his jeep, walks, balls, cars, and just about anything he can get his hands on!
One thing that I have really noticed with him that is new, is he has started to get a fear factor, it's kind of weird for Cavin!!! He doesn't like heights which is so nice for me! He is starting to learn how high things are and isn't so dare devil! Like at the park he won't climb as high without help or go off high slides if someone isn't there with him. I don't think any one thing happened to make this happen just growing up I guess!
Cavin and say a lot more words, that maybe you can understand but mom can totally understand. let me know try and make a list! Dadda, PAPA, more, open, help, please, up, help, water, outside, shoes, pasta, hot, hat, and more that I can't think of! He can Sign a lot more! He is learning his body parts he knows, Tummy, nose, ears, toes, and head so far!
I seriously just love being a mom and so grateful I have a cute, fun, healthy boy.
