33 Weeks Down...7 (or so) To Go!

 All of our friends have been posting "First Day of School" pics, so here's ours! 
And Vince decided I should take it in front of 'my' chair in the nursery. See, it's coming together!

 
How far along? 33 weeks, 4 days

Maternity clothes? Jeans and tops. Just got a few pants for going back to school and my awesome daddy is making me a few new shirts. This belly gets bigger and bigger. 

Sleep: Sleep changes daily. The hip and leg pain has set in. Some nights I can get comfy, some nights I toss and turn. I miss actual, restful sleep! 

Best moment this week: We heard Baby N's heartbeat again this week and scheduled our last sonogram for 36 weeks to see how she's growing! That's a pretty great moment if you ask me! Also, I went back to school and survived the first two days so that's a win!
  
Miss Anything? Sleep, Sleep, Sleep!  I miss sleep.  I'm starting to miss a cold adult beverage but I'm surviving! In addition, I miss ankle bones!

Movement: Yes! She kicks her momma a lot! It feels like she's in there rolling around all the time!

Food cravings: Anything I don't have to cook, and anything sweet!!! I've been on a Milky Way kick here lately. And Laffy Taffy.
 
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really...bad smells and too hot showers, but that rarely gets me going! So for now, we're just not cursing anything.


Gender: Baby Girl!

Labor Signs: Nope, thank goodness! 

Symptoms: Heartburn, fatigue, swelling (hello giant sausage feet!), pregnancy brain, leg cramps, hot flashes (ugh!)

Belly Button in or out? In....starting to push out, which I never thought would happen!

Wedding rings on or off? It's off :( I can still get it on but I swell throughout the day making my ring incredibly snug and uncomfortable but I'm wearing another diamond band for now. I miss my big pretty ring!


Happy or Moody most of the time: For the most part, happy! But I'm getting sassy! I've already had a few moments with my new students; we'll see how the next few weeks pan out. 

Looking forward to: Having normal feet back! I guess it's my own fault for wearing flip flops to school and standing for 8 hours or so but holy swollen sausage feet!

Daddy Moment: Wednesday night, I was super exhausted and sore and mentioned that a hot shower before bed would help me relax. Vince decided he would draw me a bubble bath instead. Oh my goodness, I had no clue how great a bath could feel! I even woke up super well rested and not sore at all! Dang, I got a good man! I even caught him staring at me while I was sleeping the other night; when I asked him what he was doing he simply said "thinking about how beautiful our baby girl will be, just like her mommy." That seriously warmed my heart. I love that man! Baby Girl will have the best daddy around. I'm excited for him to hold both his "girls" in his arms.

32 (Almost 33) Weeks!!!!

Yay! Rocking the classy bathroom picture this week! It's hard 
to keep up on these dang pics, so this is what you get!


How far along? 32 Weeks, 5 Days

Maternity clothes? Jeans and tops. Just got a few pants for going back to school and my awesome daddy is making me a few new shirts. This belly gets bigger and bigger. 

Sleep: Sleep changes daily. The hip and leg pain has set in. Some nights I can get comfy, some nights I toss and turn. I miss actual, restful sleep! 

Best moment this week: So many wonderful moments!!! Week 31, I accidentally scheduled one of our appointments on one of Vince's shift days, so my sister got to go to the appointment with me and FaceTimed Vince in. They told me Baby Girl is measuring 2 weeks early so I'm looking forward to seeing the progress this week. Week 32, Vince and I finally took a weekend to just be together! We headed out to Manhattan to enjoy some time together, do some shopping and of course, a little truck pulling in Leonardville. Vince put down two 300+ foot passes on the track, so that makes me a very happy girl.
  
Miss Anything? Sleep, Sleep, Sleep!  I miss sleep. Now that it's summer time I'm starting to miss a cold adult beverage but I'm surviving!

Movement: Yes! She kicks her momma a lot! It feels like she's in there rolling around all the time!

Food cravings: Anything I don't have to cook, and anything sweet!!! I've been on a Milky Way kick here lately. And Laffy Taffy.
 
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really...bad smells and too hot showers, but that rarely gets me going! So for now, we're just not cursing anything.

Belly Button in or out? In....starting to push out, which I never thought would happen!

Wedding rings on or off? Since I don't leave the house much I'm keeping them off. The reality is my wedding band is currently incredibly snug and uncomfortable but I'm wearing another diamond band for now. I miss my big pretty ring!


Happy or Moody most of the time: For the most part, happy! But I'm getting sassy! It's summer time and as Dana says I've officially reached the "Pregnant, Hot and Sassy" stage! Not looking forward to going back to school since I know I'll get super sassy with the kiddos.

Looking forward to: This weeks appointment to check on Baby Girl! We're getting close!

Daddy Moment: Well, I've been super indecisive about the nursery glider/rocker here lately so while on our weekend out (which was super sweet also) he took me to go look and helped me pull the trigger and make a decision. Our Baby Girl's room is coming together! Every step of the way, Vince has been super supportive and wonderful through this pregnancy. Seriously ladies, I have the most amazing man out there and Baby Girl will have the best daddy around. I'm excited for him to hold both his "girls" in his arms.
