Baby Boy

Today I had my 33 week appointment. I go again in two weeks and after that every week. Oh my gosh where is the time flying??? I feel like my belly is growing and growing and growing so I pulled up some pictures of when I was pregnant with Mia to compare. Here is a Then and Now:

I hate taking pictures when I am pregnant but they sure are nice to look back on, especially when I want to compare me to myself. I also have been doing some baby boy shopping. I might have gone a little crazy buying some clothes lately but who can resist when they are so dang cute? Also, my mom finished making a car themed minky quilt for baby boy. She is quite amazing and I am so in love with how it turned out. Baby boy is going to love it.

Things are starting to happen and quickly. Baby boys room is going to be a vintage cowboy and indian theme with a quilt my mom made (not quite finished yet), the colors are minty turquoise and red. I originally picked out the fabric 7 years ago before I was even married. I just loved it that much. My mom bought it to keep in stock for when I did have a baby boy. Now 7 years later and I still love it but we are having a hard time finding fabric to match to make a crib skirt and bumper pads. Well after we spent the entire day today searching for fabric to make a crib skirt we finally found the right fabric to match. Hallelujah!! Because baby boy will be here before we know it. I am getting more and more excited for him to get here and can't wait to shower him with love, hugs and lots of kisses.

28 weeks BUMPdate

Today I am 28 weeks along. Last week marked my first week of my LAST trimester. (woot) Sometimes it feels as if this pregnancy is just flying by and some nights I am uncomfortable and more than ready to be done! Baby boy is SO active and is moving all of the time, especially at night or early in the morning. He seems to have a particular fondness for kicking me in the ribs and really taking me by surprise. My belly just keeps growing like crazy so I finally decided to get myself some cute maternity capris. Up until now I have been wearing leggings/jeggings which are still great but at the end of the day the band starts to hurt my belly. I guess I have been in slight denial that I would need maternity clothes but oh man they are so much more comfortable! Thanks to Ross for having the best priced maternity clothes that are also so cute. I scored this chambray striped maternity top that I just love!

 

 And since my hubby was snapping baby bump photos of me, Mia had to have a turn at getting her picture taken. Love her choice of pose, lifted knee and all.

Thursday Tid Bits

1. Hello 3rd Trimester! I am officially in my 3rd trimester. I can't believe how fast this pregnancy is going. Now if we could just speed up the process because I am starting to get a little uncomfortable.  

 

 

2. Got a new 4th generation Ipad for my birthday and I absolutely LOVE it, even if Mia thinks it is hers and says, "I wanna play on my Hi-pad"

3. Before I really even took it out of the box I waited until my otterbox cover came. And my ipad has already been dropped several times. Love that cover!!

4. Had an amazing birthday weekend (even though it snowed), especially on my daddy/daughter date to the fancy escoffier dinner.

 

 

5. Now that I have an Ipad I FINALLY joined instagram. Hallelulejah!!! Now just can't wait to get an iphone. (T-mobile is finally getting it on April 12th) Yep, you can even follow me if ya want! 

 

Happenings

Pardon me for not blogging all week long but my sister is in town and I have been spending every minute possible with her and her kids. Here is a snippet of what we have been up to:

Cheering Daddy on at his soccer games

Playing, running around and visiting animals with BFF cousin Jaida

 

And of course holding hands and making up songs together

And growing an extra large baby bump (Me @ 25 weeks)

12 weeks Baby Bump

Today I made it to 12 weeks! I was thinking of how cool it would have been to have made it to 12 weeks yesterday on 12/12/12, oh well! I am hoping that since I am now to the 12 week mark that I will no longer experience nausea all day long and maybe get some energy. (I've been sneaking in naps during the day) I know there is not much of a huge bump yet but I just want to document it- mostly for myself!

 

Up Close

 

 

How far along?: 12 weeks!

How big is baby?: The size of a lime- supposedly

Maternity Clothes?: I still fit into my normal clothes but somedays my pants feel tighter than others. I went out and bought some leggings to wear around just so I could be comfortable.

Sleep?: I have been having the weirdest dreams lately. I had crazy dreams with Mia too, they definitely keep me entertained.

What I'm looking forward to?: Feeling movement, finding out the gender, etc, etc!
