4 year Anniversary picture and Family pics

 I just LOVE photography and photo traditions. I'm so glad I started this Anniversary photo tradition on my and Preston's first Anniversary. It's something I look forward to doing every year and I know that Preston does too. We started by holding our wedding photo on our first anniversary and every year since we hold the picture from the year before. It's a cool way to see how we will grow old together and I love having a reason to take a family picture every year. We put up 8x10's of each picture underneath the big frame on a wall in our house and we call it the Anniversary Wall. It gets better every year! 

Its so fun to have pictures with Jaxson now too and I kind of wish I would have thought to have him in the picture frame picture with us. But then again I kind of love that it will always be a picture tradition for just me and Preston to commemorate the wonderful years of our marriage! 

I can't believe I've been married to this wonderful, amazing, supportive man for 4 years now! It's gone by so fast but then again it seems like its been longer since I feel like my life truly began when we got married. I will always cherish these pictures, I hope we can continue this tradition for many many more years, if not all of them! 

Jaxson's One Year Old Pictures

My beautiful little boy turned One on April 7th, 2015. 

He's the happiest little thing and just got his walking down pact right before his birthday! 

He favorite toys are balls, his favorite food is bananas, he sleeps like a champ and he loves his new shoes that he got last week! He always wants them on, I swear he would sleep in them if he could! He loves doggies and says "ooph, ooph" evreytime he sees or hears one and he lights up our life like nothing else could! 

We went to Utah so we could celebrate his birthday with family and my sister in law Kelsie took these adorable pictures. I'm in love with every single one, I know I'll cherish them forever.

Love my sweet baby, can't believe he's one!

                                                     

12 Months of Jaxson Pierce!

I'm so glad I took monthly pictures of Jaxson, it's so fun to look at how he changed over the first year of his little life. It sure got harder as he got more mobile to get him to lay still to take a picture! If I could do it over again I would have a stuffed animal or something in the picture with him so you could see in comparison how much he grew every month. But I still just love these ;) 

36 weeks

How far along? 36 weeks!

Total weight gain: When I went to the Dr. on Wednesday they didn't tell me the number but I don't think I gained any more than like a pound from what it said last time, so I'm still going with 30 pounds! Haha

Maternity clothes? Yup, the same like 5 shirts and 3 pairs of pants! Can't wait to get my old wardrobe back! And buy lots of new clothes once I lose my baby weight. I honestly don't see the point in buying tons of maternity clothes, and I don't understand women who do...unless you're super rich I guess, then right on. But really, spending tons of money on a whole wardrobe you'll only wear for a couple months? Makes absolutely no sense to me! I'd rather spend that money on baby clothes or an awesome wardrobe afterwards to reward myself for all that hell of pregnancy! Not to mention, I look and feel huge and gross anyway no amount of clothes would change that at this point. lol

Stretch marks? Nope

Best moment this week: My ultrasound on Wednesday! It was SO amazing to see him! She was able to get a perfect shot of his little face, and I got to see him opening and closing his eyes and mouth, he kept drinking tons of fluid she said and putting his little fingers in his mouth. Then we watched him get the hiccups (which happens at least 3 times a day haha) and he was just so active the whole time, kicking my ribs (like always) and moving all around. I wish Preston could have been there but he had to work, but I bought the DVD for $2 so he can watch it.

Miss anything? Peeing like a normal person :( my Dr. said his head is super low already and most likely has been for the past month which is why I've been having to pee literally every 5 minutes. Sometimes every 2 minutes. I can't imagine whats gonna happen to my poor bladder when he finally “drops” in the next few weeks cause I feel like he pretty much already has!

Movement: Literally ALL the time, I love it, except for when its a swift kick to my ribs. Preston thinks he's gonna be a handful since he already never stops moving haha we'll see!

Food cravings: Just junk food. But I don't give in too often actually. Now that all the Easter candy is out (which is totally my weakness even not pregnant) I had to buy a bag of the Starburst tropical jelly beans and a bag of the Reeses eggs! But to my credit I haven't even opened them yet! Weird I know, but once I do though you can bet they won't last long!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Food in general :( I threw up after every meal yesterday! I felt like I was back in the first trimester! I usually only get sick after dinners though. Can't believe I've been sick this whole pregnancy. It's not fair and I'm not sorry that I seriously hate women who aren't sick at all during their pregnancies. Kinda makes me want to punch things just thinking about it.

Gender: My little boy!

Labor signs: some braxton hicks but nothing regular or too intense...I almost wonder if they are braxton hicks or not haha

Symptoms: back pain, leg pain, nausea and vomiting, trouble sleeping, peeing all the time, and new to the list this week: feeling like I literally can't get enough oxygen, just sitting down or in any position! It's the most annoying thing, I start to feel pain in my neck and then I get kinda light headed until I change positions, usually only sitting up super straight for a while helps. Yeah fun stuff. My poor lungs are too cramped, along with my bladder...and all my other organs too I suppose

Belly button in or out? Out!

Wedding rings on or off? On!

Happy or moody most of the time: Haha oh man. Randomly moody and B*tchy one minute, weepy over nothing the next, happy after that and i've been getting overly anxious about little things...dang hormones are making me a crazy person.

Looking forward to: 4 more weeks! 4 more weeks! 4 more weeks! Just don't come too late is all I'm asking pleeeeaaasseeeee!!

Maternity PIctures!

Right before we left to move to San Antonio I was able to do one more photo shoot with my favorite little sister and photographer, Jenna! She's so talented I LOVE the way these pics all turned out! :) I don't know what I'm going to do now that my photographer is 1,500 miles away! Hopefully she'll be able to come out when my little baby is born!

*****Warning: Lots of pictures!*******
