{Pregnancy Week 35}


How far along: 35 weeks, baby is roughly 18 inches long and the size of a honeydew melon.
Total weight gain: 21 pounds
Maternity clothes: Does this even need to be answered anymore...? :)
Stretch marks: Not yet :)
Sleeping: Starting to get uncomfortable. Certain nights are worse than others when it comes to the pelvic pressure. Turning from side to side is rather painful.  And, I'm starting it think it has to do with how much water I drink that day... Drink, drink, drink!!
Miss anything: I subconsciously almost laid on my stomach the other day while crawling into bed....that wouldn't have lasted very long. So looking forward to being able to do that again.
Movement: Yup, lots of movement still. Her feet hurt when she pokes them out :) She's getting strong.
Food cravings: Still fruit...still strawberries :)
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not much anymore.
Have you started to show yet: Of course...at this point I can't go anywhere without everyone asking, "when are you due," "what are you having?" Strangest one this week was an old man in Walmart who stopped next to me on a grocery aisle, guessed the gender, and then preceded to tell me his children's whole life story and exactly how much they pay a month on baby things... *Sigh* On a related note, my only goal in life at Walmart is to get in and out as quickly as possible...
Gender: Girl!

Favorite day this week: Hmm...I would say Thursday. I got to teach my brother how to drive a manual car. No better time to learn than when you just purchased a manual and have to learn to be able to drive it :)
Looking forward to: My cousin coming into town this week and hitting up the beach with her and her littles! And, a little babymoon/anniversary getaway to the sweet, little bed and breakfast Luke and I spent part of our honeymoon at last year. How is it almost a year!!?

We are so excited to meet you, little one!!

{Pregnancy Week 32}


How far along: 32 weeks and 5 days 
Baby is the size of a jicama (mexican yam), 16.7 inches in length, and 3.75 lb.
Total weight gain: 14 lbs
Maternity clothes: Yes, I have since graduated to all maternity clothes since my last post at 26 weeks. Maxi skirts/dresses & yoga pants are still my favorite.
Stretch marks: Nope! 
Sleep: Sleep is still pretty good...I can't complain too much. I do have to shift positions somewhat frequently as I start to feel achy if I haven't moved in awhile. 
Miss anything: Energy and running, the ability to bend over to pick up things   -_-
Movement: At this point they say there shouldn't be quite as much activity since the baby is running out of room to move...but not this little girl. She's still just as active as ever and loves sticking both her feet out on my right side. She enjoys doing this at night too... :)
I still enjoy feeling her little hiccups at night too :)
Food cravings: Chocolate almond icecream!! I've never been a fan of chocolate ice cream but Luke brought some home the other night and oh my...it is simply divine! Thankfully, it only takes a little bowl to satisfy my craving :)
Anything making you queasy or sick: Only feel sick if I don't eat enough.
Have you started to show yet: Most certainly...
Happy or moody most of the time: I would have to say happy :) Sometimes a little moodiness can get in there by the end of the day if I'm having a lot of pelvic pressure and I typically just feel rather uncomfortable by the end of the day. 
Looking forward to: Meeting our doula this weekend! And, finishing up this new site for my photography!


Over the last month or so, Luke and I found the cutest, little house and have since moved in. Here's a few pictures from around the house:


I love our yard! It seems like there's something new blooming every time I go outside!

Can I just throw this picture in here and say how in the world was this almost a year ago?!? I love this man more than I did the day I married him!
