Wordless Wednesday: pictures of things you've missed

A combination of post updates :)

So this post will combine a few things: Halloween picture post, Emmett's 1 month post, Tristan's speech update, and an update on our lives currently so here you go:


Our Lives and Tristan's speech: 

So right now we are still working on our housing situation and are hoping to have a house within the next week or so! I cannot wait to start Christmas shopping and decorating and getting our lives back to normal. Things have been very hectic with Tristan hating being cooped up in a hotel room, Emmett having thrush, filing for child support, a funeral, and other stuff so I'm ready for our lives to get back to normal again. I have currently lost 25lbs so far since having Emmett so I'm very glad about that. Eventually I will get around to Emmett's birth post once things are less stressful. Tristan's speech has improved majorly and he's now using 3-5 word sentences!! I'm so proud of him. He now knows his animals, animal sounds, and body parts. He's also now almost out of 4t and completely into 4/5s in boys and 5t clothing. He's so big now and it's all height.

Halloween:

So my friend took Tristan trick or treating this year and Emmett and I stayed home. He was Iron Man  due to his new love of the superhero. I got his costume at Goodwill for 37 cents and his grandpa got his mask for $5 so we did good this year. 

Emmett's 1st Halloween!

Mommy's little Iron Man

Emmett's 1 month update:

Height/ Weight: 9lbs 3oz and 21.5in long

Milestones: Holding up his head pretty well, slowly working his way to 6oz per feeding of formula, and we've caught a few smiles.

Sorry to anyone I was supposed to write or talk to but I currently don't have internet and I'm writing this at the public library but I wanted to let you all know something :)

Today they actually had to do a last minute ultrasound because they were unable to find his head when checking my cervix. He however is head down thankfully and they double- checked his gender and he is 100% a boy. I have a future of only superheros, legos, and other boy stuff ahead of me.

36 weeks

How far along? 36 weeks

Weight gain/loss: 173lbs. This means I've technically only gained 2lbs this entire pregnancy if you look at my pre-pregnancy weight and current weight.
Feeling: tired, sore, not liking these every week appts where they check to see if I'm dilated which I'm almost at a 2.
Maternity clothes? still only own 1 pair of shorts and 2 pairs of jeans

Sleep: Getting difficult. It's almost impossible to get comfortable now plus lately Tristan has been deciding to not want to go to bed on time... /sigh.

Food cravings: Still the same.

Movement? A lot.

What I miss? being able to sleep good
Best moment this week: Tristan making a sand bottle (and not making a mess) and doing handprint painting downtown and watching him get excited in the Halloween section of a store because he saw spiders.

What I'm looking forward to: October

Next Appointment: September 17th
