Natasha @ Schue Love

Relay for Life- North Myrtle Beach & Little River

It was a perfect night to remember those who battled cancer, raise awareness & money, and celebrate the success stories too! 

"Pregnant and I Know it"- parody

I can completely relate... too funny!! 

week 29

About the baby? He's growing quickly and weighs around 2 1/2 pounds.

Maternity Clothes? I went out and bought a few more shirts and dresses, but they are regular clothes... just a size bigger.  I can't bring myself to spend almost double the money on the same type of clothing just because it's called "maternity".

Stretch Marks? nope.  I check myself everyday though since I'm getting bigger.

Gender? surfer boy 

Movement?   Yes... lots of pushing, sliding and rolling around.  My belly is very often lopsided.

Sleep?  Crazy, but actually I've been sleeping pretty good (most days).  Maybe I'm getting used to the new sleeping position and all the pillows.  I'm sure it won't last long though ;)

Food Cravings? I'm sure pretty this category has had the same answer from the very beginning... nothing.

What I Miss?  not analyzing every.single.thing that's going on with my body. 

Symptoms? well... my body is slowly preparing me for what's to come in June.  I have lots of stretching pain, bones and such are shifting, and it's a lot harder to do things like bend over.

Best Moment Last Week?  getting my shower invitation in the mail... I can't wait!

Looking Forward To?  Spring break is here, so we are finally starting to work on Kaden's room... which has been more of a stress than I anticipated.

Things to remember:

1. I didn't pass the 1 hour glucose test, so I took the 3 hour test on Friday.  Hopefully we'll get the results back today.

2. I passed out while having an ultrasound on the veins in my leg last week.  I'm not sure how I am ever going to give birth to our child without passing out.... haha.

blue vs. gold

We had our annual PTO staff vs. staff basketball fundraiser a few weeks ago.  It was my first year not being able to play in it, so I sold 50/50 tickets.  Sad... but I wouldn't change it for the world.  Of course, Kirby made his appearance as Bobby Bill.

The student who dressed with the most school spirit won a prize at halftime.  It was great to see so many kids come out and dress up!

more maternity pictures

Here are the maternity photos Kirby and I took when I was 24 weeks pregnant.  We had a good time doing them and were happy with the way they turned out.  We weren't able to get all the shots I wanted that day because the park was packed and the beach was freezing, so I hope to take some more soon.  I'm so happy we were able to document part of this amazing journey as we prepare to become a family of 3!

We can't wait to meet you Kaden!
