The Single Digit Highlights

Our First Baby Shower!! 


Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along:  31 Weeks

Size of Baby:  3.9 pounds last week at our appointment. He was balled up too much to measure his length! I have a feeling he is going to be long like Hovatter
(We have also started going to doctor every 2 weeks)

Total Weight Gain/Loss:  35 pounds  (I know)

Maternity Clothes:  Are Ugly but comfy

Gender:   It's a Boy

Movement: Movement is slowing down. He is hanging out on my right side

Sleep:  I wake up randomly! Hot, leg cramps,  and potty breaks . My favorite Sonny waking me up because I rolled onto my back or stomach!!! Grrr =)

Cravings/Aversions:  Water I'm really thirsty these days!

Emotions:  They come in waves! Mostly I'm pretty stable. I will add I'm pretty feisty these days and much more likely to put a stranger in their place when I normally would not think twice about just letting it go!!
(People of Walmart beware!) 


What I miss:  Wearing my engagement ring and wedding band! 

Symptoms: My hips hurt! Its also hard getting off the floor at work!

What I'm looking forward to:  Having a nursery completed! Three months off work!!! =)

Only a few more weeks now and we will be welcoming our sweet baby boy!
How cute are the decorations from the shower my sweet sister hosted for us?
It was so much fun!!!
