36 weeks 5 days


This week, Baby is the size of a: Watermelon

How far along? 36 weeks 5 days

Due date: September 3, 2012

Total weight gain/loss: 19 pounds

Maternity clothes? Still wearing them.

Sleep: I get about 3 to 4 hours of good sleep and then it's toss and turn and interrupted for the next few hours - same as before

Best moment this week: Baby Showers are finished & now I'm just putting everything away. I also packed my hospital bag & Easton's diaper bag 

Movement: A TON! He has been head down since 20 weeks and his butt goes into my right rib cage and his feet & hands go into my lungs & left rib cage.

Food cravings: No cravings still. But definitely getting more hungry faster.

Symptoms: Hard time breathing, I'm on Zantac for heartburn & acid reflux YUCK! My pelvis feels like it's going to separate at any moment & I'm pretty sure I'm only awake a total of 8 - 10 hours a day. LOL

Gender: Boy

Labor Signs: I've been having Braxton Hicks for a little bit now & the other day I had contractions every 20 minutes for about 2 hours and then they went away. The contractions were just uncomfortable not painful

Belly Button in or out? My turkey timer is ALMOST popped out! But it's completely flat at the moment.

Feeling toward Pregnancy: I'm ready to be done!!!! But I still have a lot to do & I want him to be as healthy as possible so he can cook much longer. I would love if he could come on September 2nd which was my Grandpa Robins birthday but I REALLY don't want to go over my due date!!   

What I miss: Seeing my feet! HAHA I miss having energy to clean, cook or just get out of bed. Nesting hasn't kicked in really so it takes all I have to cook & clean. I can't wait to get back to tanning & the gym. Luckily I have amazing family that will watch him whenever I need a break! :)

What I am looking forward to: I am now having weekly appointments, at my last appointment my blood pressure sky rocketed so I had to go down to L&D for an NST & BPP (I think that's what it's called) everything was fine my blood pressure went back down to normal (which it has been the whole pregnancy). Easton's heart beat was PERFECT & the ultra sound came back PERFECT! I don't quite know what happened at my appointment but hopefully it doesn't happen again!!

Milestones: Finishing up the nursery!! I'm 1 load away from being done with baby clothes washing & all we need to do is finish hanging items in the nursery, putting together all the items we've gotten & finish ordering the items we didn't receive but still need! 

Almost Full Term!

Man! Time is flying by!!! I'll be 37 weeks on Monday & cannot believe that my little man is Full Term! Although I wouldn't mind him coming now I really want him to wait until 39 weeks where I know he is a little more chunky & out of NICU risk since our hospital does not have a NICU we would have to go to Grand Junction, CO which is an hour in a half away SO KEEP ON COOKING BIG EASY! <--- Nick Name! 

This is going to basically be a picture update with captions & then the next post I'll do one of those quizzes to answer questions about pregnancy & baby!

My little chunky butt! 3D pictures done at 30 weeks (I know I'm WAY behind)

The adorable bedding that Aunt Mary, Cousin Stefanie, Cousin Erin & Cousin Jessie got for baby for our baby shower. I wish they all could have been here but totally understand it's a bit of a travel!

The bassinet & rocker in our bedroom. The rocker was given to us by Chris's Nana & Grandpa John

Cirrus LOVES hanging out in the nursery just waiting and waiting and waiting with any of her toys for baby to show up & play with her! If I can't find her around the house I look in the nursery and there he is!

We have had a few different people take maternity pictures as well as just Chris & I messing around with our camera. We LOVE all of the pictures and love the different ideas & styles of the pictures. Plus I'm 33 - 36 weeks in all the pictures so you can kind of see the difference in size in my belly.




This one is hard to read but it says "Do Not Open Until September 3, 2012"

The Jazz ball picture is for my mom!

This airplane is one that my Grandpa Robins used to fly in WWII and one of Chris's favorites airplanes!

The bomber jacket that we bought for Chris's cousins little boy that's been passed around to all the little boys & now our son gets the chance to wear it as well! 





Pops Brewer gave baby this Blue Angels airplane back in March (or whenever we went to the airshow) so this picture is just for him since it was the FIRST item in our nursery. Back when there was nothing in it!


That's right everybody we have FINALLY settled on a name! Babies name will be.....
Easton Blake Brewer

Easton has a ton of nicknames - ones we will actually stick with after he is born, unlike Kramer LOL
Little Ace (Chris is big Ace by his Nana)
Big Easy (Daddies nickname for him)

Grandpa John did the clouds on the ceiling and they turned out PERFECT!! I couldn't have asked for anything better!

Cirrus patiently waiting for Easton! :)
