Baby Bump!



32 weeks!

So much for updating weekly ;)! Let's be honest, we all knew that wasn't going to happen. :) This pregnancy has gone so much better that I ever could have imagined. I *love* being pregnant- I savor every movement and kick and find it amazing how my body has changed and grown!

How far along: 34 weeks today! This is hard to believe, I feel like the time has gone by so fast! I don't feel this far along, I think I forget sometimes! There's only 42 days left (6 weeks) - if she decides to make her arrival on her due date! Wow, just wow!
Size of Baby: I had an US at work on 09/06 and her estimated weight was 4lbs! I'm a little concerned as her head circumference measured at the 98th percentile. I'm hoping the rest of her is just taking some time to catch up! It looks like she has Joe's nose and feet but we'll have to wait and see, it's always a little tough to tell on US pics. Oh and she has hair!

Sleep: Best purchase ever - my two pregnancy pillows. Yes, two. I sleep amazing & I attribute that in part to those pillows. I have been having some pretty intense & realistic dreams about being in labor & giving birth - maybe that's just my body's way of helping my come to grips with the fact that I am having a baby, and having her soon!
Weight Gain: Right on track, just about 20 pounds. All baby, I'm sure. ;)
Pregnancy Clothes: Yes all the time. Except for my scrubs, which are, way too tight but I am too frugal to go buy more especially since I put in my notice & am only working until the end of the month. I cried this week, when I opened a box that contained some maternity clothes from a friend - I definitely needed a boost and that package couldn't have come at a better time. Thanks AG! :)
Movement: She moves constantly & I love it!
Pregnancy Symptoms: I feeling a bit more tired than usual but other than that, I'm doing really well!
Food Cravings: I just told Joe that I wanted a Slurpee - haven't had one of those in about 5 years. I was really into Tarter Sauce but not so much anymore.
What I miss: My bellybutton and waist have officially disappeared. I wish it was easier to tie my shoes...
What I am looking forward to: I can't wait to meet her! It's hard to explain but I feel like I already kind of know her & I just can't wait to hold her in my arms!
Best moment this week: We picked up our car seat and stroller this week (on sale at Nex - yay!). I put in my notice at work & am excited about having more time (hopefully) to catch up with family and friends before Baby C's birth. We have also been beyond blessed by gifts and baby showers (even a baby shower in a box) and hand-me-downs - this baby is so loved and she's not even here yet!

Our beloved baby!
