Maternity clothes: Dresses are the most comfortable now, but I only have two haha

Sleep: Not that great again, lots of tossing and turning still and lower back pains.
Best moment this week: Getting outside in the sunshine! It makes me so excited for when our baby girl will be here and we can go on lots of walks around the neighborhood.

 Worst moment this week: Acid reflux coming back, ugh.
Miss anything: Sitting on our porch with a nice cold beer in my hand :)
Movement: Rolling and sticking her legs out.

Baby is the size of a: Winter melon

Gender: Girl

Feeling: Ready to head to the hospital..now that she is technically full term it could happen any day now, and I'm definitely feeling like I'm ready for that ;)

Maternity clothes: My belly is starting to peak out under a majority of my shirts!

Sleep: Very strange dreams lately plus tossing and turning makes for restless nights, but I better get use to that.
Best moment this week: Reaching full term, so excited!

 Worst moment this week: Getting tired/sore so easily from cleaning. It's so frustrating! Of course I'm nesting like crazy but can't push it...which Kev has reminded me many times.
Miss anything: Looking down and seeing my legs and toes :P Big ol belly in the way.
Movement: She's still carrying away like crazy in there. Lately she has been hiccuping a lot which is so funny to feel.
Cravings: Iced coffee.

Queasy or sick: Thankfully the acid reflux has stopped (for now!).
 Baby items I couldn't resist buying: We picked up a few more things for her nursery which is thiiiis close to being done, fingers crossed I can take some pics this weekend to post.

Looking forward to: Tomorrow, it's officially May! Such an exciting month between Mother's Day, family birthdays and meeting our little peanut.

Next appointment: Friday

Baby is the size of a: Canary melon

Gender: Girl

Feeling: Anxious, we are ready to meet our baby girl!

Maternity clothes: I've had enough of them. 

Sleep: Sleep isn't too bad, it's the rolling over in the middle of the night that is rough.
Best moment this week: Scheduling weekly appointments, we are getting that much closer!

 Worst moment this week: Having a breakdown over the debacle of my Easter breakfast plan. It really wasn't that big of deal but those darn hormones!
Miss anything: Beer, especially after seeing a new combo pack of spring/summer shandys.. yum! Also being able to move like I use to..bending over to pick things up or take the laundry out of the dryer has been quiet the task haha.
Movement: She's gotta be running out of room but that doesn't stop her from rolling and kicking at all hours :)
Cravings: Flavored water with ice cubes, I just love chewing on ice cubes lately.

Queasy or sick: A little bit of acid reflux here and there but nothing major.
 Baby items I couldn't resist buying: Well with all the Easter sales last week I had to pick up at least one cute romper for the little one ;) 

Looking forward to: Meeting our peanut soon.

Next appointment: Thursday

 Baby is the size of a: Hot air balloon (jk honeydew melon!)

Gender: Girl

Feeling: Ok. Baby girl is feelin heavy on my body, so I'm starting to get back aches but it's worth it :) I've also noticed that Braxton Hicks contractions are becoming more frequent.

Maternity clothes: Bring on the maxi dresses! My maternity jeans are starting to get uncomfortable.

Sleep: It varies...some nights I have hip pains and toss and turn like crazy but other nights I pass right out and don't wake up until my alarm goes off in the morning. 
Best moment this week: Enjoying some sunshine in North Carolina. It was just what I needed before coming back home and thinking of all the things we have to get done before the little one is here. Only 6 more weeks! (Fingers crossed!)

 Worst moment this week: Riding in a car for a total of 27 hours over 6 days. Not fun at 7+ months pregnant but we made it!
Miss anything: Energy and being able to cross my legs for an extended period of time :) It's funny the little things you don't think about that change.
Movement: Lots that make my whole stomach move. She will also roll herself around so that her butt is sticking right out making my stomach tighten up, it's very strange! But cute.
Cravings: Sweets still and back to chinese food again. I had the great idea of having cinnamon sugar on my toast this morning... I can't remember the last time I've had that and I think that may stick around for a bit ;)

Queasy or sick: No sickness here.
 Baby items I couldn't resist buying: I've held off on getting anything lately.

Looking forward to: This weekend with more sunshine and warm weather. It'll be nice to finish up the nursery and get outside to work on the house.

Next appointment: Next Thursday

Baby is the size of a: Squash

Gender: Girl

Feeling: Pretty good for being this far along

Maternity clothes: Yes, and adding more and more of Kev's tshirts into my at-home wardrobe ;)

Sleep: Much better over the past week. We bought a firmer mattress, for a few reasons, and that definitely seems to be helping. 
Best moment this week: My baby shower and making progress on baby girl's nursery. I am so grateful for everything my family and best friends did to put the shower together, it was perfect! I had such a great time seeing everyone too, this little one sure has a lot of love in her life already. As for the nursery, the crib and a few other things have been setup and it looks adorable. Tango isn't too happy that it's no longer his room but we have found other spots for him to enjoy. I'll post pictures of the nursery in the next couple weeks once we get some finishing touches done :)

 Worst moment this week: No complaints over here!
Miss anything: Knowing how much room I take up haha I've had a few instances of bumping into things in stores and at home because I forget how much space I take up now :P
Movement: I can tell she is running out of room in there, I'm getting more jabs and harder kicks.
Cravings: Donuts! SO good right now, especially the custard creme filled ones with chocolate icing and sprinkles.

Queasy or sick: Neither which has been so nice.
 Baby items I couldn't resist buying: Over the weekend we got to stop into Babies R Us and pick up a few things off the registry thanks to a couple gift cards we received.

Looking forward to: North Carolina this upcoming weekend! Last trip of just Kev and I for awhile and it'll be nice to get away for a few days, enjoy some warm weather, spend time with friends and celebrate a wedding! Don't worry mom I will be coming back still pregnant ;)

Next appointment: Tomorrow!

Baby is the size of a: Pineapple

Gender: Girl

Feeling: Pretty good for the most part, a little tired and anxious but that's nothing new.

Maternity clothes: Yes, but really missing pre-preggo clothes, especially with all the spring and summer stuff in stores now.

Sleep: Some nights aren't bad, some nights are rough...especially when a certain someone has late night dance parties :)
Best moment this week: Getting our stroller in the mail, it's really happening! ;)

 Worst moment this week: I know I sound like a broken record but we got more snow. I'm ready to get outside, I'm getting stir crazy. I can't wait till AP is here and we can go on long walks in the warm weather... soon enough!
Miss anything: Flats! I'm sick of wearing boots and sneakers are not easy to put on right now. Snow go away! .
Movement: Lots. And I've been able to see her roll around in there which is pretty cool.
Cravings: Nothing new to add to the mix

Queasy or sick: Feeling good!
 Baby items I couldn't resist buying: Crazy 8 had a great sale going on today so I couldn't pass it up, I swear ;)

Looking forward to: The baby shower in a few days. I can't wait to see how lucky this little girl will be to have such great friends and family in her life.

Next appointment: April 1st

Baby is the size of a: Four navel oranges (Interesting!)

Gender: Girl

Feeling: Not bad, tired but it's bearable.

Maternity clothes: Leggings at home, jeans in public. Come on warmer weather!

Sleep: It's been a rough week between Kev being out of town and middle of the night hunger pains.
Best moment this week: Having a mostly relaxing weekend with the hubby and Tango, we've been on the go for awhile so it was nice to just hang out at home. Oh and hitting the 30 week mark! Soon we will be in single digit countdown weeks, uh oh! ;)

 Worst moment this week: Snowstorm Vulcan! Almost 18 inches of snow in less than 24 hours was not fun.
Miss anything: A green beer today, I guess green milk will suffice ;) 
Movement: Lots and I've been able to record some videos of it which is so fun to watch. Drinking a cold glass of water definitely gets her movin'.
Cravings: Still on the sweets train, and I really can't get enough cereal. I could have it for every meal if I could!

Queasy or sick: Nope!
 Baby items I couldn't resist buying: I haven't bought anything but we did get some nice gifts from friends and relatives.

Looking forward to: My shower on Sunday!! I'm SO excited to see everyone and see what a fantastic job my family and friends did putting it together :)

Next appointment: Tomorrow
