34 Weeks!

Total weight gain/loss:+22 by the doctor's scale

Maternity clothes? All maternity except some  tanks and my work out pants

Stretch marks? Just a single spot on each hip so far, knock on wood

Sleep: Yes, please. All the time. Hard to wake up every morning and I always want, but don't necessarily take, an afternoon nap

Best moment this week: Getting the baby book in the mail!

Movement: Tries to wiggle under my ribs and kicks me in the right side of the pelvis a lot

Food cravings: Cheetos.. I feel like this is really bad lol

Gender: BOY!

Labor Signs:Absolutely not!

Belly Button in or out? Pretty much flat, all the time

Wedding rings on or off? They started getting snug due to slight swelling in my hands so I only wear them for short periods of time.

What I miss: Not feeling HUGE.

What I am looking forward to: My husband coming home... and finishing the nursery!

Weekly Wisdom: Don't wish the short and sweet moments of pregnancy away, and seriously, don't eat too much salt! You will regret it!

Milestones: I am half way through the last trimester! Woo! Now to get through these last 6 weeks....

I have arrived at the conclusion that the reason the last 6 or so weeks take the longest is because you pretty much miss the first 4 to 6 weeks of pregnancy. Therefore, the last few count double! I am very much trying hard to not wish these last few weeks away. I know I will miss all the wiggles and kicks and jabs once he has arrived but I am so over feeling like a beached whale. Maybe it will help once Gerrit gets home and can help me out more. We shall see!

31 Weeks!

31 Weeks!
And yes I know I've missed a few...

What I am looking forward to: My husband coming home...

Weekly Wisdom: Don't wish the short and sweet moments of pregnancy away

Milestones: I have made it 3/4 of the way through this pregnancy and I know that every day, if my sweet baby has to be brought into this world, he will have that much more of a fighting chance to survive.

Most people who read this are in Kentucky, where I was for about two and a half weeks- hence the hiatus in posting. This past week I have just been trying to readjust to being back in England. I, also, have been busy working on my baby gear list- the only things left to find are a diaper pail and a small table for the lamp, baby monitor, etc. I anxiously await the arrival of no fewer than 4 or 5 boxes from Amazon and Target. Maybe once those come in, I can actually start making the "extra room" look like a nursery.  I apologize for the lack of picture. The only way to take a decent picture is with my phone in the locker room at the gym, and my phone is not cooperating with the internet in terms of posting a recent photos. Til next week sometime!


Oh and two sweet baby boys have been born this week, and it makes is oh so hard to wait another 9 before I will get to hold my own little one in my arms....
