So many things!!!

So much is going on, holy cow! I am 33 weeks and 4 days and I had a doctor appointment today. Since my last post I have had 2 baby showers and just as soon as someone gives me some pictures of those, I will post them. Ahem...Mom.
The showers were fantastic. We got SO many things. Her room is pretty much finished, except for organizing and a couple of shelves that I am waiting on my husband to finish.
Speaking of my husband, he just got a promotion and he is working a lot of hours due to training, so he has been so busy as well! Life is FLYING by right now!
Upcoming things-1 more shower, plus Gerber Baby Day! Labor and Delivery class on March 12th, my 7th wedding anniversary on March 13th. (wait until you see the sappy post about that one!)
My last day of work is April 5th....I'm pretty much just spouting off random dates at this point but maybe it will help me remember everything. To my IRL friends, let me know if I am missing something.

Today's appointment: NO WEIGHT GAINED! (WOO!), Heartbeat, bp, measurements all good. I asked my Doc if we could get just 1 more ultrasound and he agreed so I am super excited about that. He estimates her at about 4lbs right now although he tells me that it's JUST an estimate. And I got to eat Chik-Fil-A afterward, oh happy day!

I still feel good. A little bit of ankle (cankle) swelling. My sleep is hit and miss, sometimes it's good and sometimes it's only good because I have taken a Ben.adryl. And the heartburn...ohhhhh, the heartburn. I am living on antacids.
BUT, other than that I feel awesome and I am just ready/terrified to get this show on the road! :)

I'll never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross...

I've sang this song in church several times and I love it each time, but yesterday driving home from a super long day, I needed it. Life is busy and exciting right now and it's hard not to get caught up in the petty everyday issues that aren't really issues at all. No matter what is going on in life there is ALWAYS this, Jesus died for us. Without that, nothing else really matters.
Thank you Jesus for the wonderful life you've given me and the wonderful baby life that is on the way. :)
Everyone have a great day!

32 weeks (tomorrow)

How far along: 32 Weeks
Maternity clothes: I wear them about 98% of the time.
Sleep: I'm still sleeping okay just with many bathroom breaks.
Best moment of the week: Everything checked out well at my Dr. appt. Always good news.
Food cravings/aversions: Still just liking food in general.
Belly button in or out: In
What I miss: I miss the days that I considered jeans comfortable; those are gone.
What I am looking forward to: 2 baby showers this upcoming week!
Weekly wisdom: Stay off of the internet! There is a lot of bad news out there and I'm better off not reading it at this point in my life.

5 Question Friday

Again, I'm copying Kaitlin, while I'm counting down the minutes until time to go home...

1. Have you worn the same outfit more than one day in a row?
Absolutely not, oh wait. I have maybe worn something to church on Sunday and then wore it to work on Monday....maybe once or twice. I just asked my friends earlier if it's okay to wear the same jeans 5 days in a row as long as I wash them sometime around Wednesday. This is not because I don't have any clothes, it's because none of them FIT or are comfortable. Ugh.


2. If you had to choose any LARGE city to live in, which would it be?

I am pretty anti-large city to be honest. I don't care for them. But, the hubs and I always said we would move to Orlando though. We love it there.

3. Fly or drive with the kids on vacation?

I don't have any kids, okay well I technically have one in my belly and she's already been to Colorado via automobile. We usually drive unless it's just ridiculously too far. Not big flyers.

4. What is your idea of "spring cleaning"?

GETTING RID OF DUST! I live on a dirt road and have laminate floors throughout my house and it seems like no matter what I do there is always a layer of dust. That's also a good time to do the stuff I never make time for like cleaning out the fridge, or cleaning the grout in the bathrooms. I hope to do these things very soon, with some help....ahem HUSBAND!

5. What is the best book you have ever read?

I love to read and I think as a child my absolute favorite was Charlotte's Web and now as an adult (besides the Twilight series in which I am in love with), I really liked the book In Search of Eden, by Linda Nichols. You should check it out.

The definition of glamour:

Finding bread crumbs in your bra at the end of a long day. SIGH.
*Note: aforementioned crumbs came from the Subway foot long that I had at lunch, with chips. Every bite eaten. There are starving kids out there people!!!

I will be 32 weeks on Sunday. I'm sure I will have a picture to post because I have somewhat agreed to let my Mom take some pics on Saturday. And I'll do the highlights then too. I know you're 0n the edge of your seat.

Doctor appointment tomorrow. How long before I have to start doing these weekly? Right now I'm at every 3 weeks.

30 weeks! And nursery sneakpeak.

Grrr, it's dark--but that's the crib, new recliner, and curtains. And all of the wall hangings are lined up in the floor. It's a shame that you can't tell how cool those curtains really are. I'll post another pic later.

Crib with bedding all washed and ready to go.

Covered belly....

And the dreaded bare belly pic. Okay, I said I wouldn't do this, but I'm just thankful that I don't have stretch marks or that dark line on my stomach. Let me have my moment. Also...I have been carrying LOW this whole time. I think it's more apparent here. And yes...I'm WHITE, what else is new?

How far along: 30 Weeks

Maternity clothes: I wear them about 98% of the time.

Sleep: It's just okay this week. I'm waking up A LOT to pee, of course--but then it's a little harder to fall asleep because my back is hurting like crazy!

Best moment of the week: JT and I finally got our timing down and he was able to feel the kicking. Usually, the second I put his hand on my belly she stops. Stubborn!

Food cravings/aversions: Cadbury eggs are here!!! YAY!!!!

Belly button in or out: Still in. Not even flat yet. My belly button was pierced, so the hole where the ring was is a little stretchy looking, but that's about it.

What I miss: The sunshine, and that has NOTHING to do with being pregnant. NO MORE SNOW!!!

What I am looking forward to: Her being here. I wanted to experience pregnancy and I have now for 30 weeks. Don't get me wrong, I want her to stay in there until full term, but I am ready for full term to get here!

Weekly wisdom: I can't really think of any at the moment....

***By the way, Megan at In this wonderful life is hosting a pretty neat giveaway that you should check out. A percentage of the sales goes to raise money for Congenital Heart Defects.

29 weeks and I won some awards!

First of all I won this:

Thank you crossingmyfingersbutnotmylegs!!!
And I also won this:

Thank you to Lori!!!!

There are some rules to this award. I'm supposed to tell some things about myself and tag some people for the award, I believe. Right now I'm a little strapped for time so I just wanted to thank you girls for giving these to me and do a quick update.

29 Weeks

How far along: 29 Weeks

Total weight gain/loss: I will tell you all my total in the end. Let's not update it weekly...it's no fun. (for me)

Maternity clothes: I wear them about 98% of the time.

Sleep: Waking up a lot, but falling back asleep easily.

Best moment of the week: I had an appointment this past week and my bp was back to normal (was a little high last time). Everything is measuring right, her heartbeat is strong, and there is still nothing wrong with my pee. Life is good.

Food cravings/aversions: Every single thing on this planet gives me heartburn. I don't really crave anything in particular, but I eat plenty.

Belly button in or out: Still in. Not even flat yet.

Stretch marks: Boo.

What I miss: Tying my shoes without blacking out. lol

What I am looking forward to: 2 baby showers coming up in Feb. Birthing class in March. Maternity Leave in April. (hallelujah) Oh and then there is a baby due in April too! :)

Weekly wisdom: It's not unheard of for the furniture salesman (we bought a recliner this weekend) to ask you if you're going to breastfeed. It doesn't matter that he is MALE, 400 lbs, and a complete stranger....he still wants to know, because well durrrr...that is a deciding factor in what type of recliner you buy. Surprised you didn't know that.

*Disclaimer: Salesman apologized profusely after he realized what he'd done, but still--I thought it was a story worth telling.
