32 Weeks

I am at 32 weeks and couldn't be bigger/happier/exhausted/hot/excited! It's been a while since I've written anything down so I'm going to play catch up again!
Recent events in the Bowman Bunch are as follows: Sean has been working so hard and so long my heart aches for him. He's such a hard worker and I am so proud of him! I truly feel like the luckiest/most blessed woman on the planet to be married to someone like Sean. He's amazing. He went to Idaho with his buddy Kyle to work for a few days. He was exhausted by the time he got home and I am SO glad he's home! We don't see much of each other even when he's here because our schedules don't coincide, but there's something different when one of us is gone. I miss his presence and just having him home at night. So, I am so glad he's home again :) He also had the opportunity to go to the Batman Marathon with our Bro-in-law Sam last night. They watched all 3 movies! It started at 6 and I think he got home around 3:30 ish. Sean said he really enjoyed it. He's exhausted today but he had fun.
As for me, the only thrill in my life is just growing this beautiful wiggly baby who has hiccups all the time.
The most recent "excitement" in my life was embarrassing. I think I freaked Sean out though. I'm currently in school trying to finish up before Baby Hannah gets here and this definitely hits the most embarrassing moment in my life. I was sitting in class taking notes in the front row when I started feeling really nauseous, then dizzy, then shaky, then super light headed. I don't remember any of this but apparently I raised my hand and told my professor to call my husband because I was going to pass out. Last thing I remember I was on the floor with my classmates around me. I was out for maybe 15 seconds, but when I got up I was super hot and sweaty. The UVU EMT's came, along with a firetruck and 3 cop cars. I've never been so embarrassed in my life! They checked my vitals and took my blood for my blood sugar levels. Long story short my blood sugar dropped really low and that's why I passed out, very common in your 3rd trimester. Apparently this baby is sucking everything out of me! So now I have to eat even more than I have been and more protein. But all in all we're both fine and healthy! Poor Sean came to get me from school and took me home and has been so attentive. He's such a great husband and is going to be such an amazing Daddy. I can't wait!

Here's the 32 week picture. I feel so huge! I know I shouldn't compare myself to others but I feel so much bigger than other women who are at this mark either ahead of me in their pregnancy. Oh well right? At least Baby Hannah is growing strong and healthy :)

31 Weeks!

Sean and I decided to go ahead and get a 3D ultrasound to see what our baby girl looked like. We have been debating doing this for a couple of weeks now and finally gave in! What a fun surprise! She's absolutely adorable and I cannot wait to actually meet her!!!! Here are a few pictures of our sweet, beautiful, perfect baby girl!!

This is her little face :)

On the left is her foot, then her arm then her face! She's smooshed!

I love this one :) Her arm is by her cute little chubby face :)

Her cute little face!!

Things That Make Me Smile

Recently I've been smiling about things this baby girl likes. She's more active with certain foods I eat and certain music I listen to. It makes me smile.

Before I got pregnant Sean loved (and still does) to eat Sweet Spicy Chilli Doritos with Cottage Cheese. I hated the smell of these chips and couldn't bring myself to eat them ever. Now, of course, I eat them, crave them, and so does baby girl. It's all Baby girl lol.

I was craving broccoli so I made some and sprinkled just a little bit of salt on it. Don't worry, about 30 minutes later it all came up and felt so gross afterwords. Needless to say we won't be eating broccoli for a long long long time. What's funny about this is when Sean was little he wouldn't eat anything green, so yes of course our baby girl probably won't either. Oh the joys!
This one is by far my favorite though. This morning I was cleaning the house and decided to put on some Blues/Jazz music of the sort to listen and sway along to that was easy going. Usually I'll listen to my Spanish music like Maná, Enanitos Verdes, Café Tacuba, etc. Baby girl doesn't do much but relax when Spanish music is on, but oh don't you worry, I put blues/jazz music on this time and one of Nat King Cole's songs came on and she was busy! She was kicking and I swear she was swaying along or something! I started laughing! Sean likes Nat King Cole along with other types of music. I hadn't really listened to blues/jazz music all that much till I met Sean. I told Sean this fun little experience and he said, "That's because she just likes good music!" Ha! I love it! She's definitely her Daddy's little girl already!

I can't wait to see what little personality this Baby girl has. September come sooner!!!

Welcome 3rd trimester!

Finally! I'm 28 weeks and totally feeling it. Welcome welcome welcome 3rd trimester!! Baby Hannah still breach (head not facing down) and sits comfortably with her head on my right side. She's very active and LOVES to have hiccups. It's incredibly cute and love every minute of it :) Whenever I have Sean feel the hiccups he always asks "What's she doing?" and I say "hiccuping" then he gets this cute little smile on his face. I love it! So, since she's sitting on my right side, I get to do little exercises now to get her to turn. Knowing her though, she'll make her presence known when she wants and how she wants. I bet I'll end up having a C-section only because she can decide that hee hee. I've probably jinxed myself now!


Here's me at 28 weeks. Feeling pretty big lol.

Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all you wonderful men out there! Especially to my Dad. What an amazing example, a worthy priesthood holder, and father he's been to me in my life. Thanks for always looking after me, loving me through the hard times, and never giving up on me. I am truly blessed to have you as a father. Thanks for all the love, respect, honor, work ethic, a love for the gospel, and education you've instilled in me. I am who I am because of your example. Love you!

A special Happy Father's Day to a new Daddy! (in Sept) Oh how I love this man! He's going to be such a great Daddy. He's patient, loving, kind, generous, and such a great example to me. I am honored to be his wife and eternal companion. How Heavenly Father thought me capable of having such an incredible priesthood holder and best friend for a husband and father of my children is beyond me. I thank Him everyday for blessing my life so richly with such an amazing man. Words cannot describe how much I love Sean. Happy Father's Day Handsome man!

Scrunchy Face

I hope my babies like their daddy :) Sean was the cutest baby I've ever seen! How could you not love that face!

A Slight Obsession...

I know I'm only 26 weeks pregnant but I cannot WAIT to meet this baby girl! I have a confession and a slight obsession.... these socks.
They're meant for 3-6 month old babies but I couldn't help myself! I was at Old Navy looking for some summer dresses to wear (it's getting hot!) and I just happened to stroll over to the newborn/girls/baby section and came across these adorable socks! They come in packs of three, a coral color, hot pink, and black. I about died when I saw them and had to have them! Needless to say I didn't get a dress but definitely got these little kickers.
When I got home I showed Sean and wouldn't let them go. I kept putting them on my belly, smelling them, putting my hands in them trying to envision what her little feet will look like in them, but finally I put them away, but of course got them out again :)
I cannot wait to see my baby's scrunchy feet and count her toes, see her tiny face, her eyelashes, her cheeks, just everything. I know it's my hormones (maybe) but I tear up thinking that God has seen me fit to bring this beautiful baby girl into this world. I cannot WAIT to be a Mom!!!
