35 Weeks

35 Weeks

I haven't seen my feet in weeks! I keep growing and growing. Baby measures about 18 inches long and weighs about 5 3/4 pounds. I'm still craving milk (on average I go through a gallon every 4-5 days. Yikes!) I guess I could be craving worse. Chicken breast is still my only real food aversion and my hips/low back have been achy. I can feel things shifting around. I worked two days last week back in the office and forgot how much I CANNOT STAND cigarette smoke. I could have sworn everyone that walked in smelled like an ash tray... my coworkers said it wasn't THAT bad. Sleep has been ok and the baby is still kicking up a storm. Brian and I have been trying to get as much done around the house before the baby comes but we are running out of time... 35 days to go! Brian has been working non-stop lately and I couldn't appreciate it more.

Seeding and aerating the lawn...

Of course the day we decide to finally work in the yard its almost 80 out!

Brian and Daisy taking a quick nap after working on the lawn all morning... and yes he actually fell asleep like that!

Our friends Meaghan & Joe got married yesterday. It was a beautiful day and we had an absolute great time at the wedding. We are so happy for the newlyweds! I do think they were trying to torture me. They had open bar ALL night and had servers walking around handing out 2 specialty drinks : (

A little photo both fun with Brian's parents : )

34 Weeks

Still going strong... slow but strong. I'm still really tired and can definitely tell the baby is growing bigger and stronger. Baby still likes kicking right up under my rib cage, ouch! We spent the weekend up at Nascar and had a great time!

Such a good husband blowing up my seat cushion: )

Brian's Mom and Dad and Aunt and Uncle walking down to the track holding hands:) awww!

 Friday night was FREEZING!!! It was only 31 when we woke up Saturday morning

IT'S A.....

GRANDMA TO BE SHOWER!

Haha! Sorry everyone. I had to do it just once! My aunts threw my mom a Grandma To Be Shower a couple of weeks ago. I'm so happy they did that for her and couldn't be more thankful!

My mother made these a few years back for her nephews baby shower. My aunt thought they were just too cute to throw them away so she FROZE them this whole time! Don't they look awesome?!

Finally catching up with my posts! 33 weeks and boy am I tired! The baby has still been kicking the crap out of my ribs. The kicks are starting to feel more like defined movements... which is amazing but SO weird. Still kinda freaks me out, not going to lie! My feet have been hurting too and I think they got bigger! Brian has been pretty good at massaging them so I guess I can't complain too much:) I still can't get enough MILK!  Another busy weekend. Brian had a work golf outing and I had a bachelorette party at Foxwoods! I survived and yes I stayed up with the rest of the girls! We partied until 2:30am. I was very proud of myself lol. It did kinda feel wrong being at a club with a big ol' belly... but I was very glad I went. 

EVEN BETTER NEWS!!!

My Mom surprised me and is FLYING OUT FOR THE BABY SHOWER!!! I guess her and Betty (my mother-in-law) have been planning this since APRIL. I can't believe they kept this a secret for so long! We are beyond happy that Mom will be able to be here... and that she gets to see this big ol' belly!!!

My jaw hit the floor when I saw how much my belly grew in just 2 WEEKS! Seriously!!! 2 WEEKS! I feel like i'm getting bigger by the day.... I guess I am because pictures don't lie!!

31-32 Weeks

31-32 Weeks

What a busy couple of weeks! We finished the construction portion of the nursery, finished painting/hardware on the dresser/changing table, and got the room set up. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out! We also got to take a tour of he hospital which was great. We are getting soo anxious!

Since I've hit the 30 week mark, I've slowed down alot! Waking up 4-5 times a night to go to the bathroom doesn't help trying to get a good nights sleep. Baby is really starting to get BIG and my bladder is really feeling it! 

We had our coworkers wedding which was a blast! She looked amazing!!!

Doesn't he look cute?!: )

And yes... the bride is hiding behind my belly: ( lol!
