34 Weeks {Canteloupe}



How far along? 34 Weeks
Total weight gain: 27 lbs.
Maternity clothes? Most definitely!  No way around it. Purchased a few warmer weather tops {because it's 90 degrees already here in TX and not buying ANYMORE!!!
Stretch marks? Not yet, Hopefully never!! 
Sleep: Same as last week.  Getting up alot and having trouble getting comfy!
Best moment this week: Just knowing that we are one week closer to meeting our little girl!  Also a bitter sweet moment that this week is our last prenatal class.  We have been going once a week for 4 weeks.  Can't believe it's already over.   
Miss Anything?  Of course a margarita on the rocks, sleeping on my belly with one leg bent, tanning, my normal clothes, and the list could go on and on.  I know it's all worth it though.
Gender: Girly Girl
Movement:  Lots! I can now fill her body parts {or what I think}. She puts pressure as if she is trying to get comfortable.  I can't wait for the hiccups though! I found out at my ultrasound last week that Sweet Aubs in head down so that "little round thing" that I have been feeling in my ribs must be a foot!
Food cravings: Milk and peanut butter sandwiches! YUM!
Anything making you queasy or sick:  Not really.
Labor Signs:  Nope
Symptoms:  Shortness of breath, uncomfortableness, pain in my left leg, trouble staying asleep, pressure on my pelvic area, back pain and on and on, but all is worth it.
Belly Button in or out? Almost flat.  Getting closer to becoming an outie. 
Wedding Ring on or off: On
Mood: EXCITED!
Looking Forward too?  Meeting Aubree!!!!!

33 Weeks {Pineapple}


How far along? 33 Weeks
Total weight gain: 27 lbs.
Maternity clothes? Most definitely!  No way around it.  
Stretch marks? Not yet, Hopefully never!! 
Sleep: Average about 5 or 6 a night even though I might lay down for 8 or 9.  My shoulders get stiff and become sore easily and begin to hurt.  Also, I am getting up every hour or so to relieve my bladder.
Best moment this week: Having my 2nd and 3rd baby shower and almost completing Aubree's room.  Only thing left to do is hang her light fixture!  I will post pictures as soon as that is done.  It is so beautiful! I hope she loves it!  Also, we had a Dr. appt. this week so we got to hear her sweet heartbeat.  Always love that!  
Miss Anything?  Of course a margarita on the rocks, sleeping on my belly with one leg bent, tanning, my normal clothes, and the list could go on and on.  I know it's all worth it though.  Same as always.  7 weeks left!
Gender: Girly Girl
Movement:  Lots! I can now fill her body parts {or what I think}. She puts pressure as if she is trying to get comfortable.  I can't wait for the hiccups though! I found out at my ultrasound last week that Sweet Aubs in head down so that "little round thing" that I have been feeling in my ribs must be a foot!  I think she is getting pretty cramped in there!
Food cravings: Milk and peanut butter sandwiches! YUM!
Anything making you queasy or sick:  Not really.
Labor Signs:  Nope
Symptoms:  Shortness of breath, uncomfortableness, pain in my left leg, trouble staying asleep and on and on, but all is worth it.

32 Weeks {Honeydew}


How far along? 32 Weeks
Total weight gain: 23 lbs.
Maternity clothes? Most definitely!  No way around it.  
Stretch marks? Not yet, Hopefully never!! 
Sleep: Ehhh... it could be better.  I am still up every couple of hours to go to the restroom and it takes a little bit to go back to sleep so I am not getting as much sleep as I would like.  Also, getting comfortable is hard to come by these days, as is rolling over. STAYING asleep is very difficult!!!
Best moment this week: Taking our maternity photos!! Can't wait to share them.  They turned out so beautiful! Makes me want Aubree here even more.

Looking Forward too?  My 2nd small shower at the end of this week thrown by the wives of the coaches my husband works with.  Also, my large shower on the 24th with my husbands side of the family. AND of course meeting our sweet baby girl.  It's getting very close!

30 Weeks {Head of Lettuce}

Sorry,  this post is a little late... 
Welcome to month 7!!




How far along? 30 Weeks
Total weight gain: 19 lbs so far. We'll check the damage on the 8th at our next appointment.
Maternity clothes? That's all that will fit.  Time for some spring time clothes.  Getting a little warm here in Tx. 
Stretch marks? Not yet, Thank goodness! Hopefully they will stay far, far away.
Sleep: Pretty good. Can't complain to much. {Just my husbands snoring, but I guess that doesn't count.  Not sure if I am just sleeping lighter because of the pregnancy and I am just now noticing it or if it is really getting worse.}
Best moment this week: Getting the last piece of nursery furniture in and getting it together!  Her room is beautiful!  Also, my first shower was this weekend.  It was amazing!!
Miss Anything? Just a nice glass of wine and being able to sit on the couch without getting this nerve pain down my left leg, oh and bending over normally to pick something up. The list could go on and on, but it's all worth it.
Gender: Girly Girl
Movement: Yes! It's by far my favorite part of being pregnant. Since she is getting so big I can feel other movement besides kicks and jabs. I can feel her squirm and roll. Feels soooo neat!
Food cravings: Flammin Hot Cheetos!! {I can't get enough}
Anything making you queasy or sick: Still pasta.
Labor Signs: Not yet, thank goodness!
Symptoms: Leg cramps and stiffness. I am constantly changing positions. Sitting or sleeping. Just plain uncomfortable. Add shortness of breath at times to this weeks symptoms. Not fun! 
Belly Button in or out? In, but getting closer to getting flat. :)
Looking Forward too?My 30 week ultra sound is on the 8th!! I can't wait to see my little girl.
