Week 32

I can't believe its already week 32!  Time is flying by and she will be here before we know it! With only 8 weeks to go until our due date, its time to get the nursery put together and purchase everything else that we must have when she gets here.  This past weekend, I had my last baby shower here in St. Louis. My sister in-laws, Trish and Carrie did a wonderful job on my baby shower and our little one got so many nice things!  It was such a nice experience spending time with all the ladies! 

I am also going to the doctor every two weeks and everything looks great.  Her heartbeat is perfect and the doctor said she is growing perfectly.  I will be going again this week and lets hope its all good news again.  I have been more ache these past two weeks with back pain and some slight cramps.  Another crazy pregnancy symptom I've been experience is crazy sweats and hot flashes!  It's been in the mid 50's outside and yet I feel like I must have the windows open or i'll be to hot and get all sweaty!  Oh the joys of being pregnant! 





*Maternity Clothes: Yes
*Sleep: The body pillow is a life saver, but its getting more difficult to sleep.
*Stretch Marks: Nope, thank goodness!
*Best Moments of the week: Hearing her heartbeat at our checkup.
*Miss Anything: Being able to do active things with my hubby and not sweating as much! 
*Food Cravings: Ice cream and candy
*Anything making you queasy or sick: Yes, when I over eat. 
*Have you started to show yet: Yes, its hard to miss.  
*Gender: It's a Girl! 
*Belly Button in or out: in
*Wedding Rings on or off: Off, and not thrilled. 
*Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy
*Looking forward to: Meeting the little one.  It seems like she'll be here before we know it! 
*How's the hubs: He's in full hunting mode and searching for the big one!

Week 30

Wow! I can't believe it's week 30 and there is only 10 more weeks to go until our little girl enters the world.  It seems so surreal that were in the home stretch of pregnancy.  She is growing, kicking, turning, and tumbling everyday and mommy is sure feeling it in her tummy. Her most favorite thing to do so far is push, poke, and kick mommy's bladder which then sends her running to the bathroom!!  But, boy will it be worth it the day we get to meet her!  This is also a very special week for Brad and I. On Sunday, we will be celebrating our 1st anniversary.  Its so hard to imagine that this time last year we were getting ready to be married and planning our wedding and now we are getting ready for a new addition to the family.  We both are very much looking forward to spending the weekend together and are looking forward to many, many more anniversaries to celebrate our love of each other!
