the GLENN family

I'm a little intimidated to sit down and write this (and not just because of the sitting down part). I feel like I'm going to leave out all the important parts and I already feel like I can't remember everything. I'm warning you now that it is unnecessarily long and detailed. In my defense, this blog doubles as a journal. First, the end of pregnancy. I was loving the end of my pregnancy to be honest. I was so distracted with school that I wasn't constantly aware of how uncomfortable I was. I accomplished so much homework, and was so caught up on everything that I kept getting bored. It was great. Every day when I came to class people would greet me with, "no baby yet, huh?" Here are pictures from the last couple weeks: 38 weeks 39 weeks 40 weeks         The last picture was taken around 8 the morning of my due date-I guess that's a good enough place to start. We left for campus and I was having contractions that made me have to stop an...

It sure has been a party around here lately. In fact, I believe Andrew and I were on campus from 9am to 9pm last Saturday. Woo hoo! But really, we do try to sneak in some fun here and there. I don't remember what we've done if I didn't take a picture of it, so here's the recap in pictures: First there was pi day. Andrew made pancakes, I got a free T-shirt, ate a free donut, and helped out with the pi day celebrations at Brigham Square. Andrew's been winning all his soccer games and from the looks of it, he sure likes to win! Andrew likes to make pancakes for all of the holidays actually... Sometimes I lounge... ...and Andrew puts together the crib. But it's okay because then I made a pie COMPLETELY from scratch Oh and I'm also growing a human... 34 w 3 days 35 weeks 36 weeks 37 weeks I feel like these pictures look like they should go in the reverse order...Anyway, happy spring!

Oh man, what haven't we been up to these days? As I sit here typing this, my body is threatening to fall asleep-even though it's only 4:30 in the afternoon! Andrew and I have been SO busy lately. 1st: school. We stay on campus until 6 or 7 every night and spend Saturday from 9-6 on campus too. Even with all of that, as soon as we get home, we eat dinner and get right back to our homework. I'm really starting to miss my husband. I guess the good news in all of that is that we both are maintaining pretty good grades for now. Other good news that is school related: the semester is basically half over which means that if we've made it this far, we can make it the rest of the way AND my block class is about to end! Speaking of school, when I signed up for my classes 5 months ago, I guess I didn't notice the extra 6 credit class I'm taking...BABY. I have spent so many hours researching car seats and strollers and carriers and....you name it. Woof. But, now that we...

So maybe it's been more than a month since the last time I filled this out. That's what happens when you spend 60 hours in the car traveling through 9 states, move from Texas to Utah,  and then start one of the most demanding semesters of your life. Just give me a break, I am growing a human after all! Side note about all the trips over the break:  It is REALLY hard to pack when you have no idea what clothes you'll even fit into in 2 weeks. Seriously, how do people do that? How Far Along : 31 weeks Size of Baby : Roughly 16 inches and 3.3 pounds Total Weight Gain/Loss : Do we really need to talk about this anymore? Maternity Clothes : The only "maternity" clothing I've actually worn is a bella band to go over some of my jeans. I can actually still wear quite a few pairs. However, I intend to buy some more comfortable pants SOON 'cause this is getting ridiculous. And the really tricky thing is skirts... (I typed this at 28 weeks and it w...

Back when I was... How Far Along:  21 weeks (beginning of December) Size of Baby:  " At 10.5 inches and about 12.7 ounces, roughly the size of a  pomegranate " Total Weight Gain/Loss:  9 pounds Maternity Clothes:  I have one dress that is too uncomfortable to wear and a couple pairs of jeans don't fit because they come up higher. My low-rise jeans still button with room to spare Gender:  I think it's a boy because I want it to be a girl, but we're finding out kind of late because of the move Movement:  All the time. The baby is especially active in the evening and when I'm stretching in the morning. Sometimes it feels like a punch or kick and sometimes it feels more like a body slam. So awesome. . Sleep:  I'm such a good sleeper. I really tested myself over Thanksgiving by having two very full (ha ha) days in a row without a nap. I sleep great and don't wake up very much and I have lots of energy during the day, even th...

Back when I was... How Far Along:  16 weeks (end of October) Size of Baby:  According to my babycenter.com, roughly 4.5 inches long and 3.5 ounces Total Weight Gain/Loss:  Maybe 3 pounds...at the most Maternity Clothes:  Some of my jeans are getting tight but I can still wear everything  Gender:  Still don't know. Since the heartbeat was fast, people are guessing a girl. We'll see though!  Movement:  Hard to say. Nothing definite though . Sleep:  I'm sleeping so much better now. I don't get up as much and I don't ALWAYS need a nap during the day either. It's awesome. What I miss:  Still nothing Cravings:  I "crave" everything I smell/hear people talk about/see other people eat. I'm just super hungry all the time! Aversions:  I think I'm done with this phase of pregnancy. Woohoo! Symptoms:   Does feeling big count as a symptom? I don't look much different, but I swear things ar...

So now that you all know the secret, I guess I'll share with you the record I've been keeping of this grand little adventure. I got this questionnaire from another friend's blog and figured it'd help me keep track. I answered the questions about every month, and now you get to enjoy the catch up!   How Far Along:  12 weeks  and 5 days (Beginning of October) Size of Baby:  According to my research(which Magic School Bus character?), the baby is a little more than 2 inches and roughly the size of a large plum/peach Total Weight Gain/Loss:  Lost weight at first (probably from working out and it was only a pound or two) but basically the same weight I've been for years Maternity Clothes:  I don't like wearing anything tight around my hips, but my clothes all still fit  Gender:  I'll be happy either way. My guess would be boy (but I would be soo fine with being wrong ;)  Movement:  Apparently the baby is moving lots ...
