    Best Baby related moment of last week: my 3d ultrasound

  • How far along?: 28 wks, 3 days

    Best Baby related moment of last week: a small surprise baby shower with our monthly "dinner club"!

    How was your sleep this week?: Terrible.

    Belly Button In or Out?: In in the middle, and coming out on the sides lol.

  • How far along?: 31 weeks 4 days

    Best Baby related moment of last week: My 3 year old daughter came with me to my doctor appointment and heard her sister's heart beat for the first time. She has been telling EVERYONE about it and is so excited!

    Movement/Kick Counting:? Not counting...

    Complaints?: The heat is making me swell. I took off my wedding rings this weekend so they wouldn't get stuck. I also have a little bit of back pain and am tired all the time, but I think that's due to chasing my 3 year old around. ;)

    How was your sleep this week?: Ok... very thankful for my body pillow right now.

    Belly Button In or Out?: Still in but barely. BUT I have a super innie - it never popped out with DD#1 and she was 9 lb 2 oz and 22 1/2 inches long!

    Cravings?: Cookie crumb ice cream cones, strawberries, Snickers

    Nursery Progress: We close on our house next Monday and can move in June 30, so I won't be starting until then. I have painted a few of the things that will hang around the room, she will use DD's crib and crib skirt, bedding is bought, and I'm almost done sewing the yellow cover for the rocker/glider that will go in her room. I'm pretty far behind, but it's hard to get any more done when I didn't have the space to work with! 

    Nicest thing someone did or said to you last week?: We had our free first weekend home since mid-April this weekend. I woke up at 10 AM on Saturday with a happy 3 year old, rested husband, and pancakes and sausage on the table. Hubby also spent the entire weekend with DD and I (he ususally had something for work, helps his parents on their farm, or goes golfing) which was soooo nice. I feel so refreshed. :)

    What is your biggest concern after LO is born?: Balancing my 3 year old and our baby. We are also going to become a farming family a month after she is born (joining my husband's dad and brother full-time), which means my husband will start working LONG days, 7 days a week, all year long. It makes me a little nervous because I won't have much of a break from parenting (I'm a SAHM). I'm trying to prepare myself!

    How far along?: 29 w 2 days

    Best Baby related moment of last week: getting our glider/rocker for the nursery last week (it's a Little Castle from Target and we LOVE it!)

    Movement/Kick Counting: Ever since calling the doc after a few days of her being "sleepy", she's been so active, I feel like I don't formally have to do this!

    Complaints?: DH not really knowing what he's getting in to.  I don't think he gets the whole this baby has to grow for at least 9 weeks longer before I feel comfortable with her coming into this world.  He wants her here now!  I keep yelling at him!

    How was your sleep this week?:Just fine but I've been much more tired than usual. 

    Belly Button In or Out?: When she's up near it (with her butt) it's out.  I think when I sit it goes in and when I stand it's out. 

    Cravings?: I just am a freak on pasta this entire pregnancy.  I also want cheeeese often!

    Nursery Progress: Nearly done!  Just need a rug, the crib bedding (on my registry - which someone bought - I know such a stalker!), and a smaller table with baskets for organization next to the changing dresser!

    Nicest thing someone did or said to you last week?: My parents helped me pick up the china hutch I bought from someone and my mom is going to refinish it with me "supervising" her!

    What is your biggest concern after LO is born?:DH not understanding how hard it will be while I'm home and he's at work.  I will have two dogs to entertain and a LO and he probably will think it's a cakewalk.  I may make him stay home randomly while I go out and run errands so he can see how it feels!

    How was your sleep this week?: Good considering

    Nursery Progress: Basically done. We still need a chair/glider for nursing and an extra lamp, but the big stuff is finished.

    Nicest thing someone did or said to you last week?: The TSA agent at the Orlando airport was very nice about not making me go through the questionable scanner......and very polite when asking if I was expecting.

    Best Baby related moment of last week: Buying lots of little baby boy clothes at Baby Gap! (I'm obsessed with their stuff)

    Movement/Kick Counting:? Lots of movement, I don't count kicks.

    Complaints?: Saturday was awful. I woke up to what I thought were awful gas pains. I'm now convinced I was having contractions. They lasted all day, but I only had about one an hour so I wasn't too concerned. Laying in bed & drinking lots of water seemed to help.

    I've also been having daily nosebleeds...so I'm going to see an ENT specialist tomorrow. I'm sick of them!

I'm paying attention to movement, but not doing kick counts.Complaints?:  super weird baby related dreams!!
    How was your sleep this week?: peeing has definitely cut into my sleep a decent amount lately!Belly Button In or Out?: still in, but hardly there right now. I expect it will go out eventually.Cravings?: nothing particularly. Food in general is good :-)Nursery Progress: still behind on this task. goal to get the crib thing done within the next month and otherwise we will wait until after my July 3 shower to really go crazy.Nicest thing someone did or said to you last week?: my friend told me that I looked like I had only gained in the belly and was impressed with my hiking ability. (My brother, on the other hand had pretty much the opposite to say!)What is your biggest concern after LO is born?:  hmm...there is the whole going back to work thing and how I'm going to feel about leaving our baby at daycare. Then the whole family smothering thing. I like my privacy and I'm afraid that with a baby people aren't going to give that to me (at least I have an 8 hour buffer!!)

    Best Baby related moment of last week: My sister gave us a gift on Saturday that was the letters of Logan's name. She did such an awesome job on them. They are so unique, not the typical letters, she found wood blocks and painted them on there. She also gave us a framed picture she drew that is the parents hands in the shape of a heart with the babies feet in between. My mom also gave me a WIllow Tree expectant mother figurine!

    Movement/Kick Counting:? Tons of movement lately, esp the past couple of days. Its actually a little painful lately. I also can't tell if some of these are actually BH and not movement. 

    Complaints?:  haha see post from this morning. I hit a wall this weekend. My back, my sciatic, swelling, feet hurt, tired, etc. 

    How was your sleep this week?: same as always. Not great but not terrible. My allergies have started so I have had some trouble breathing. 

    Belly Button In or Out?: Still in... getting closer to being out or flat though haha 

    Cravings?: same ole desserts ahha. I've had way more aversions then cravings though. 

    Nursery Progress: We finally set up the crip and arranged the room how we want it! I finished the from side of the quilt I'm making. We bought the crib mattress so now I can make the sheets and the crib skirt. I've made the curtains as well. 

    Nicest thing someone did or said to you last week?: i threw DH a surprise 30th bday party on saturday and got such awesome help from people. My FIL was a huge help. He came over to help set up. Bought all of the burgers and hot dogs and manned the grill all day. Then another friend offered to help, told me it was too much for one pregnant wife to do on her own haha. He brought food, helped set up, made sure I was ok all day. He was so great. 

    What is your biggest concern after LO is born?: That I will be as forgetful as I normally am and forget to do something important like feed him or something haha. 


  • How far along?: 31 weeks, 6 daysBest Baby related moment of last week: getting our glider and putting it in its place in our new house - makes it seems as if it's all right around the corner. Movement/Kick Counting:?  She is rocking and rolling in there - no need to do kick counts because she pretty much picks up the movement if i stop moving. Complaints?:  The backaches - i have a pretty active job that requires me to stand all day so sitting for 10 + hours at a stretch this weekend due to childbirth classes (driving down to where we are going to live takes 2 hours and that's where the classes are) just about did me in. 
    How was your sleep this week?: Decent enoughBelly Button In or Out?: Still in - pretty sure it'll stay in.Cravings?:  No particular cravings.Nursery Progress: Umm....0%. We're moving into our house in early July and, by that time, the nursery should be painted but that's about it. Yep, it's going to be a flurry of activity in that last month!Nicest thing someone did or said to you last week?: People have been kind in general - opening doors, helping me carry things around, etc... What is your biggest concern after LO is born?:  Breastfeeding and having family members smother me a little too much - so grateful for all the help they're going to give me but concerned that i won't get to do things the way i want to without losing my temper.

    Best Baby related moment of last week:  Apparently Logan doesnt like the remote control laying on my stomach.  I had it resting on me while laying in bed watching tv and he kicked it so hard it almost fell off my stomach.  I was laughing so hard.

    Movement/Kick Counting:?  He moves all the time so I dont usually do kick counts.  He is active around the same time everyday.

    Complaints?: My only complaint is the swelling I am getting in my hands, feet, and ankles.  I try to not complain about it but there are times that its so uncomfortable.

    How was your sleep this week?:   Pretty good, been getting some crazy dreams lately which I also had during the first tri.

    Belly Button In or Out?:  Its still in and I think its staying in.

    Cravings?:  Not really

    Nursery Progress:  We got sooooo much done in the nursery this weekend.  We have some paint touchups to do and the closet doors need to be painted but overall its near completion.  I wont have the bedding until my shower since my SIL made it as her gift.  I know what the fabric looks like though.  I also need to hem the one set of curtains since they are a bit too long for the window.

    Nicest thing someone did or said to you last week?:  I love when people tell me that I dont look big at all.  I feel HUGE so to hear that I dont look like I am feels good, even if they are just being nice.

    What is your biggest concern after LO is born?: Being a mom of 2 I think is my biggest concern.  I have an 8 year old stepson who lives with me and DH full time.  I actually see and do more for him day to day than even my husband since hubby is at work by 4:30am practically every day including saturdays.  It is definitely going to be an adjustment to making sure both of the kiddos needs are met.  My 8 year old is amazing with little kids and has a 3 year old half sister so he knows the whole sibling routine, I know he will be fine for the most part.  I just sometimes question if I will be fine Smile
