32 weeks

 

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!

31 weeks

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

30 weeks



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

 Baby is the size of a: Acorn Squash
Gender: Girl
Feeling: Tired and anxious. Lots to do before the peanut is here!
Maternity clothes: Of course, but I'm so ready to switch to maxi dresses, tshirts and flats. I've had enough of bulky sweaters, jeans and boots.
Sleep: Better this week than last thankfully :)     

Best moment this week: Having 40 degree weather and sunshine. It's amazing how much of a better mood it puts me in, especially when I'm so tired.
 Worst moment this week: Dropping Kev off at the airport. It'll be a long week without him, and having crazy hormones doesn't help that haha
Miss anything: I could really go for a mimosa right now!
Movement: She is so active but I love it.
Cravings: Sweets still..donuts, cereal, sprite, fruit flavored water.
Queasy or sick: Not lately.
 Baby items I couldn't resist buying: Nothing recently, I'm exercising lots of control!
Looking forward to: More warm weather on the horizon, so anxious for spring to get here.
Next appointment: March 18th

28 weeks




Baby is the size of a: Eggplant
Gender: Girl
Feeling: Big, the next 12 weeks or so are going to be fun ;) Trying to get off the couch is starting to become an adventure, Kev likens it to a turtle stuck on it's back... so true that I can't help but laugh :)
Maternity clothes: Yep, and just purchased a dress for the baby shower in a few weeks. Can't wait!
Sleep: It's been rough, I can't seem to get comfortable and middle of the night dance parties are the norm.      
Best moment this week: Hitting the third trimester mark!
 Worst moment this week: Getting the stomach bug, that was a rough night and next day. But thankfully it didn't linger.
Miss anything: Sleep
Movement: Lots and lots. And she somehow knows right when I lay down to go to sleep for the night, that's her time to kick like crazy.
Cravings: Flavored water still, and donuts. I'm definitely guilty of picking up a donut or two on my grocery runs for a snack in the car during the drive home haha!
Queasy or sick: Just the one night but not at all aside from that.
 Baby items I couldn't resist buying: Nada believe it or not!
Looking forward to: Next doctors appointment, love hearing the heartbeat.
Next appointment: Tomorrow!
