32 weeks


We're lame and never did take a photo... so here is one of Olivia and me at the beautiful shower that Becky, Monica (and the girls) threw!

How far along? 32 weeks, size of a squash!
Total weight gain: 26 lbs
Maternity clothes? Yes.
Stretch marks? Nope.
Sleep: Still not great. It's God's way of preparing me right?
Best moment this week: Our ultrasound!! Got to see little peanut! She was measuring 3lbs 9oz. We were hoping to get a great 3d/4d photo, but as soon as the technician switched wands, she buried her head into my hip. What a little diva!!
Have you told family and friends? Yep.
Miss Anything? My pre-pregnancy body.
Cravings? Cereal. Ice Cream.
Movement? Yep!
Anything making you queasy or sick? No
Have you started to show yet? There is no hiding this bump.
Gender: It's a girl!
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding Ring on or off? On
Looking forward to: Baby shower #2 this weekend!
Symptoms: A little bit of reckless leg in the evenings. Urge to pee is constant. Feeling much more out of breath lately!

31 weeks


How far along? 31 weeks, size of romaine lettuce!
Total weight gain: 23.5 lbs
Maternity clothes? Yup.
Stretch marks? Not yet, knock on wood.
Sleep: Eh. Tired around 9pm most evenings, sleep okay until the middle of the night then toss and turn quite a bit until morning. Sidenote: Hearing lots of "get lots of rest now", which is so sweet, but as stated above, my sleep is s.h.i.t. So as sweet as the advice is... I'm getting pretty tired of hearing it...
Best moment this week: The beautiful baby shower Madde and Margaux threw for me!
Have you told family and friends? Yep.
Miss Anything? Nothing new or major.
Cravings? Cereal. Ice Cream.
Movement? Yep!
Anything making you queasy or sick? No
Have you started to show yet? There is no hiding this bump.
Gender: It's a girl!
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding Ring on or off? On
Looking forward to: Baby shower #2 next weekend!
Symptoms: Somedays it feels like there is a baby elephant sitting on my diaphragm. Ouch.

Another sidenote: I've been getting lots of "you're getting big!" or "wow, you just keep getting bigger!" comments... Of course I am big/bigger... I AM GROWING A HUMAN. I am supposed to get bigger... everyday... every week. I have approximately 9+/- weeks of getting bigger left. Next time, just say how great I look ;)
