Thomas and Tannis Manning: June 2015

I'm 36 weeks (as of Sunday)! I really can't believe how fast it has gone. It seems like I just found out I was pregnant. I went to the doctor today and I an 1.5 cm dilated and 70% effaced. Woo hoo! I'm progressing and that is always good to hear. I looked back at my blog and with Jayne at 36 weeks I was about the same dilation and 25% effaced. I had her 8 days early. Hopefully this little guy will come early on his own :) If not, the doctor talked to me about being induced at 39 weeks because of having gestational diabetes. I would rather go into labor on my own and not have to be induced, so we will see. I'm sure at 39 weeks though if I haven't had the baby yet I will want to be induced haha.

How far along? 36 weeks 2 days
Maternity clothes? For sure.
Sleep: I've actually been sleeping pretty good as of lately. Not too bad!
Best moment this week: Going to the doctor (both appointments) to find out my weight is good, baby is doing good, my blood pressure is good, and my blood sugar has been great :)
Miss Anything? Eating cereal.... I only can have a tiny bit and I probably shouldn't even have a tiny bit because of the amount of carbs.
Movement: Yep but it's slowing down as he is running out of room. Lots of little "bumps" though when he has hiccups which is quite often :)
Food cravings: Carbs hahaha
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope
Have you started to show yet: Of course
Labor Signs: Braxton hicks occasionally and now I am sometimes having some legit contractions (hence why I'm dilated a little). I woke up in the night last night because I was having a pretty painful contraction. But I have only had a few and they don't last long.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: I feel more moody this pregnant than with Jayne haha. Mostly on days when Jayne is being really naughty...
Looking forward to: Having this baby in a few weeks!

I won a photoshoot by a lady named Kimmie Carter :) We took these recently. Here are my favorites!

I realized that I haven't blogged in a few months, so here is a long random post of pictures from the last while!

Jayne is now almost 23 months. She will be 2 years old the end of next month on July 30th! So crazy! She is at SUCH a fun stage. A hard stage, but I love it. She cracks us up all the time! Here are some things about her:

*Sleeps like an angel. She goes down around 8pm and wakes up between 8-9am, sometimes even later (We've been spoiled with that.... I'm hoping that her brother is the same but watch he will probably be opposite haha)

*Takes one nap a day around 1:30 usually.... at it's usually 2 hours long.

*Is pretty much in size 4 diapers... I'm using up the rest of the 3s. She wears mostly 24 month clothes or 2T, but she's skinny so she wears 12 month shorts haha.

*Is very very extremely hyper haha. All the time. I think that's why she sleeps so much... She gets so worn out!! She never slows down!

*She loves to count! She can count from 1-10 perfectly now. Yay!

*Loves to watch Barney (She says "Beeee!" instead of Barney haha)

*She knows some letters if you point and ask what they are. I can't remember how many or which ones, but she knows O and M for sure. It just depends on her mood if she will say them or not haha.

*When you point and ask what shape it is, she knows circle, oval, triangle, star and heart

*Lately her favorite toys have been her stuffed animals and baby dolls. She carries them all around and puts them to bed haha

*She does this super cute chasse/gallop around the house when she's really happy and excited. It's adorable!

*Talks NONSTOP. She is such a chatterbox! She says tons of words... But some only I can decipher because they don't really sound like the real word haha. For example, yogurt is nummy and cracker is pa. I have no clue why. It's a challenge trying to figure out what she's saying quite a bit of the time, but I'm surprised how much I understand.

*She loves to sing songs. Some songs she knows and will sing randomly by herself are I am a Child of God (I sing it to her every night before bed), Let it Go, Oh Mister Sun, the ABC's (she says the whole alphabet pretty good now!), The Wheels on the Bus, I Love You song from Barney (that's currently her favorite... She sings it all the time! So sweet), A Tisket a Tasket, and more I can't think of.

*Loves to play with cousins and friends

*Is good at giving hugs and kisses

*Loves to play with shoes and loves her princess nightgown

*She is obsessed with light switches

*LOVES to wash her hands because of Barney haha. She constantly asks if she can wash her hands

*She is just a silly girl who makes us so happy! Even though she is naughty sometimes and drives us crazy haha

This was her idea.... cups for shoes haha

5 babies born this year on the Manning side!

She loves to see the horses when we go on walks! Too bad it's too hot to go on walks now dangit...

Little stinker! She loves to pull her ponytail out.

Painting with pudding!

She figured out it tasted yummy haha.

Little diva. She loves to play in the little pool. Not sit in it though... Just stand.

Baby bump! And Jayne photobombing :)

Oh my haha

She still LOVES to read books.

She discovered that it's fun to sit on top of the couch and pull the curtains... grr

Kid's Club!

New car seat! She loves it

Jayne loves when McKayli and Holly come over! They are so sweet to her.

I think this was a time I had to wake her up in the morning to go somewhere. She looks so tired hahaha

We celebrated our 3rd anniversary on April 27th :) We went to Texas Roadhouse! Yum :)

The Children's Museum in Phoenix is so fun! Jayne had a blast.

One of my absolute favorite low carb meals that I make all the time... chicken stir fry with this yummy bankok peanut sauce. Mmmm

She likes to hide behind the couch and curtains haha

We went to the cabin with my parents. Jayne loved it! The weather was SO nice.

We love Target... and go very often haha

Her crazy hair haha. And she insisted on wearing ALL the necklaces, not just one haha

My friend Jannae and I! She was 37 weeks in this picture and I think I was like 29 weeks maybe?

Another favorite meal.... Green beans, red potatoes and chicken with zesty italian and butter on top. Mmm

She was a lucky girl and got an icee at Target...

She loves to color with markers...

And it usually ends up on her face of course ha

Sneaky picture with daddy in the background :)

Reading to brother... :)

She found a new spot to read haha

Amazing Jake's was so fun!

Yummy cookies at Kids Club

No more park days... Boo summer

Her outfit totally reminds me of something that I would wear when I was her age.

I went to Wendy's and asked for my chicken sandwich to be wrapped in lettuce. This is what they gave me haha. Not even wrapped at all, and mayonnaise on the side.

Daniel and Jannae's baby girl Rosilyn is so adorable!

Playdate with Sadie and Taymar!

Cousin Scarlett!

I'm obsessed with this picture of Jayne and Jason! Their faces are the cutest!!!!

I told her to smile... instead she growled at me hahaha

Memorial Day!

The library!

Yummy banana pancakes

We went and got free lunch at Robson Elementary one day (they do it in the summer). Jayne was so excited about her star shaped tater tots haha

Donelle, Nick, Payton and Beck came to visit! We loved having them here! Jayne and Pay had so much fun together, Lots of fighting happened haha.... but it was so cute seeing them together.

She went through a phase for a while when she hated baths... now she loves them again! YAY

My mom and sister threw me a baby shower :) It was so fun! Lots of people came and spoiled my little guy, we had delicious food, and it was a fun party!
