31 Week Questionnaire

How far along: 31 weeks. Today I am exactly TWO MONTHS from DDay!!

Sleep: What is sleep? No, its not really that bad... I just don't sleep comfortably in my bed. I nap throughout the day though which is really nice!

Total weight gain/loss: Up a total of around 16lbs

Movement: Tons! I love it when she moves my whole belly and Danny can see it :)

Size of Baby: A little over 16 inches long! At this point she won't get TOO much longer but she has some weight to gain. She is only around 3lbs. 

Pregnancy Symptoms: I want to eat all the time but I can't eat much at once haha, I get out of breath WAY too easy, and my back bothers me a lot these days. OH, and I have to pee alllll the time. 

Food Cravings: SWEETS!!! I have recently been trying to keep our fridge stocked full of yummy fruit hoping that if I eat enough, I won't feel such a strong urge to sneak away for ice cream! It only kind of works... :-/

What I miss: Easily bending over - I never realized how often you need to pick things up off the floor. I also miss laying on my stomach and back. Oh, and I could also go for a nice glass of wine right about now haha.

What I am looking forward to: A little bit of beach time this week for the 4th and my friend coming to visit when we get back!

Weekly Wisdom: If you have the money and space in your room, don't skip out on a king sized bed because you think a queen will be "more intimate". When you get pregnant you will wish you had the space of a king!

Best moment this week: Having Danny at the doctor's appointment. He hasn't been able to come with me recently and this was his first time seeing the new hospital. He has a way of making everything more fun. Also, hearing baby girl's heartbeat again - its always a good day when you get to hear your unborn baby's heartbeat.

Milestones: We decided on a name. :) Baby girl's first name is Stella. We aren't sure about the middle name yet.

31 Weeks; Feeling Blessed!

I have been falling soooo behind in posting ... all I can say is things are gettin' crazy around here ... in a good way! :) Here are a few quick updates;

6/17/13 - 29 Weeks; Settling in Evansville

Oops ... its been almost a month since my last post! Coming to Evansville has been such a whirlwind - we have been crazy busy!

25 Weeks and the Beginning of a New Journey

This week baby girl is around the size of a whole cauliflower measuring somewhere between 13.6-14.8 inches long and weighing between 1.5 - 2.2lbs! Soooo... the other 10lbs are just me, huh? (Dang it) haha. Anyway, she is doing well as far as we can tell! Her favorite time to be awake is right when I lie down to sleep at nights... isn't that sweet? She is already being thoughtful by getting me used to lack of sleep. :)

A New Vocation

Sorry its been so long! I hate going so long without posting because then when I finally do I have so much more to say haha. To make up for it, I'll try to post 2x's this week. :)

Today I am 23 weeks (and 4 days). Baby girl is the size of a Grapefruit right now. She is somewhere around 11 inches long and can weigh anywhere between 13-20 ounces! I feel her kicking all the time now and Danny can feel some of the big ones now too, so that's really neat for him. She is most active when I sit down or lay down right after being active. :)

This past week was a crazy, crazy week. I was working on the baby registries allll weeeeeek loooooong and I got super overwhelmed with everything.

A Birthday Wish Come True...

Monday was my 25th birthday. Other than it probably being the first birthday ever spent away from my parents, it was one of the best! Danny had been sneaking around making surprise plans with some of my friends from home and two of them came to surprise me. It was an awesome surprise and we had a really great weekend!

Its a Girl!

Well, tomorrow I will be 21 weeks! Other than the gender reveal, there isn't too much news since we haven't been to the doctor since my last post. I will say that I have really started to feel bigger ...
