32 Weeks



How far along: 32 Weeks!
Total weight gain: Nineteen pounds. Baby now weighs between 4-5 pounds.
Maternity clothes: Well, I broke down and bought a dress for my maternity photos. I'm very excited about it, and most likely will be able to wear it after I give birth too!
Stretch marks: The same few on my sides and underneath my belly button.
Sleep: It's off and on. Some nights I sleep great, other nights not so great. I've been really hot at night lately, which has made it hard to sleep. Luckily the weather's good enough now that we can leave the windows open.
Best moment of this week: Getting to see our little guy on an ultrasound again! He is so cute.
Miss anything: Having the energy to do things...like walk up the stairs...or bending over to pick something up. :) 
Movement: Yep, constantly! Some nights he kicks so much I can actually see my belly moving from the outside. So weird!
Food cravings: Nothing really new....milk, pancakes, root beer...the usual.
Anything making you queasy or sick: No, thank goodness!
Have you started to show yet: Yeah, I notice people noticing me in public now, haha.
Gender: BOY!!!
Labor signs: Nothing yet. Let's hope baby boy isn't in a rush to get here. I still have things to do to get ready for him!
Belly button in or out: In, but it's really shallow!
Wedding rings on or off: On for now, but some days it's too tight to wear.
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy most of the time!
Looking forward to: My baby shower this weekend! It should be a great time with friends and family. I can't wait!

Baby has hair!! It's so crazy to me that you can see it on an ultrasound.

Another cute profile shot of Johnie!

We finally got our crib all put together. I love how it turned out!

30 Weeks





How far along: 30 Weeks!
Total weight gain: Sixteen pounds. Baby weighs between 3-4 pounds now. That's about half his birth weight!
Maternity clothes: Nope, I'm done purchasing them since I've only got a short time left. However, I am on the hunt for a cute maternity photo outfit. I'm sure I have it in my closet, I just haven't figured it out yet.
Stretch marks: The same few on my sides and underneath my belly button.
Sleep: Sleeping has become hard. My hips ache so I have to move around a lot in my sleep to get comfortable. I feel bad for John and the cat. Since I'm not sleeping well, no one is sleeping well!
Best moment of this week: We started taking a hypnobirthing class and I LOVE it! I have tried to keep an open mind with different birthing techniques, and I'm really enjoying the class so far. I have learned so much already.
Miss anything: Not having heartburn. I never had it until a few weeks ago, and now I get it if I eat later at night. I've learned to just stop eating after 7 p.m.
Movement: Yep, constantly! It's still such a crazy feeling.
Food cravings: Milk, chocolate chip cookies (at least milk is healthy!)
Anything making you queasy or sick: Still doing great, though last week I did throw up after eating a breakfast sandwich...was that TMI?
Have you started to show yet: I'm a bowling ball on toothpicks.
Gender: BOY!!!
Labor signs: Nope. Way too early.
Belly button in or out: In, but it's gotten super shallow. It's weird.
Wedding rings on or off: On! My swelling has actually decreased this last week.
Happy or moody most of the time: I've been much happier. I am a lot more tired because it's hard to sleep, but I haven't been as moody.
Looking forward to: Putting together the nursery! We ordered our crib and rocking chair over the weekend and I'm just waiting for them to come in so we can start putting things together. It's so much fun to decorate a baby room.
