thirty three.

33 weeks

.................................

Gender: Boy

Name: Grayson Lee Fuhr

Symptoms: It seems like I'm feeling more and more pregnant everyday. My back and shoulders have been killing me!! KILLING ME!! Nothing seems to help with it either. Oh well, just 6 more weeks to push thru. :) I also breathe like a 80 yr. old women. I will just walk down the stairs and be out of breath. Josh makes fun of me all the time. lol.

You gotta love the third trimester, haha.

Weight: Since my doctor talked to me about a month ago on gaining weight, I gained 6 pounds. Trust me it was easy to do, lol. I feel like I still am a healthy weight and quite glad I havent gained a large amount so far. We shall see within the next few weeks.

Cravings: Nothing specific. Just very random things sometimes.

Sleep: I have been sleeping horribly. I toss and turn all night and Im in alot of pain most of the time. (shoulder pain) Plus, I have so much on my mind right now.

When I went to my appt. last week my doctor measured my belly and said " Your measuring perfect". She said "right at 31 weeks." I was like well if I were 31 weeks it would be... They had my weeks messed up in my chart. I was 33. She decided to order me a ultrasound to see if he was measuring ok. I, of course, was completely worried that I either wasnt eating the amount I should, or something was wrong with him. So I pushed for an early ultrasound so we could find the results asap. I went in for the ultrasound and everything looked perfectly normal!! Thank you Lord!! He weighs 4lbs 11 oz and is 18 inches. Completely on track at 33 weeks. He was even facing my back and had flipped, ready to come out already :) I was so thrilled to see him. They said I will measure small because I have a long torso. I didnt really care, I was just glad I had a healthy, adorable little boy. They tried to get some good 4D images, but they came out all blurred and messed up :( This is because his arms and hands were all on his face and he was facing my back. I did get a sneak peek of his lips, nose, feet, hands, arms, and well you know. lol

His little foot :)

He has a full head of hair! I think hes going to be a mini Josh. His lips look just like his!

I have failed to mention we will be moving either this weekend or the next. So I am going to be staying pretty busy within the next several days. Please pray for a smooth move!

Gender: Boy

Name: Grayson Lee Fuhr

Symptoms: Ohhh man... the symptoms. I literally can't walk at times. My legs cramp up right down the middle and I just have to stop walking. I guess my body is preparing itself to have Grayson, but my goodness!! I feel so strange lately. I also have trouble tieing my shoes, painting my toe nails, etc. It's a little annoying. On top of that I am packing and moving this month. Im so tired! It will all be worth it though, I just need to take one step at a time.

Weight: I'm gaining at a healthy rate. I still find it odd to see the numbers on my scale saying what they say, but I feel healthy and Grayson is healthy with me at this weight :)

Cravings: Icecream. I just ate a pint of Graters coconut chocolate chip. To be honest, if I had more, I would go back for seconds! Best icecream EVER!

Sleep: Not so well, but thankfully being home now I can sleep in on my nights I have trouble sleeping. I can't "roll" out of bed very good either haha. I get stuck sometimes. Im not use to being this big.

Please pray for our move. Please pray that I will have the energy and strength to get through this. Pray for Josh as he is really, really busy with work at the moment.

Thanks!

Home Sweet Home

Buying a home is extremely stressful sometimes!! Esp. when you are pregnant and just want to snap your fingers into moving. I had the hardest time just trusting God would take care of things. It's hard to let go of something you want SO badly. I fell in love with this house. We decided to make an offer, Josh opted for a low, low number. The whole time I wanted to throw up as he said that number out loud. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! They are going to laugh at us. I finally went upstairs took a shower and prayed outloud. The only thing that I could think of after I prayed was the verse: " Wives, submit to your own husbands as to the Lord. " Ephesians 5:22. I just bit my bottom lip and prayed a prayer that I would do just that. I had a complete peace afterward. I even had a peace that even if we lost the house, God would still provide for us. I was even ready to walk away. After we offically made the offer, we thought it was over. Then we received a phone call that almost made my heart stop! They asked if that offer was still on the table!!!!!

Let me tell you, God is SO very good!!! There are times in your life when you just need to give it all to God, pray on it, and let whatever happens....happen. You will have a strange peace that only God can give.

The Front: I love the front and backyard to this house. It's amazing, I didnt get to capture it on camera. It has BIG shade trees and around 2 acres surrounding us. Beautiful. Thankfully the road leading to our house isn't busy at all. Peace and Quiet.

The Kitchen: The first part that I see is of course the dishwasher!!! Im SO sick of washing dishes by hand. This sold me pretty much, haha. I also love the large space, I like alot of wiggle room when cooking. Plus it is in a room with a fireplace which will be super cozy in the winter.
The Bathroom: It's adorable. Newly remodeled so nice features. I like the simple white.
First Bedroom: I love this room. It's kind of small, but I love the storage in this house. This is one of the most charming rooms.
Living Room: There are 2 living spaces in this house. The first near the kitchen & the second in the middle of the house. They are really open and I love them. The hardwood floors are beautiful! Much better than carpet!

Second Bedroom: This is all furnished by the previous owners, I took these while looking at the house. This is going to be Grayson's room, I have alot to do to this room and I can't wait to start!! Thankfully this bedroom is very close to our bedroom so I can just walk quickly to his room.
Third Bedroom: This is going to be our bedroom, it has a fairly large walk in closet. Along with another smaller one. I wonder who will be getting the walk in closet?! haha.
The backyard: AMAZING. This is my favorite,favorite! It has a beautiful little garden off to the side, a fire pit, sunroom, horse shoes, and trees galore!!! I can't wait for this to be our hangout area!! Not to mention our house is so close to creeks to go canoeing and fishing in! Grayson is going to have a blast here!

So there you go, a few pics of our home. Can't you tell im excited, haha! I really couldn't have asked for a better home. After looking a good 3 years, it finally happened.

I'm going to start packing now...

:)
