Growth Spurt!

Last night I was looking at myself in the mirror. I felt like might have had a growth spurt, so I took a picture and voila! Here's what I saw.

Makayla's baby shower!

Today was Makayla's baby shower. It was so fun to see her and other people I haven't seen in a long time!

Baby Kekoa was so spoiled and she got just about everything she needs!

Avery & Kekoa meet!

Smile!

Family!

33 weeks 4 days

How far along? 33 weeks 4 days!
Weight gain/loss: Still up 10. We'll see after my appointment on Tuesday. With this new low fat/no dairy diet for my gallbladder I have a feeling it's going to be a little bit harder to put on weight.
Maternity clothes? Oh yea. My wardrobe consists of yoga pants and stretchy tanks form Old Navy that I bought in 6 different colors!
Stretch marks? I've started ignoring them... maybe they'll just go away.
Sleep? Eludes me most nights.
Best moment this week? The shower my co-workers threw for me on Wednesday!
Movement: All day, every day!
Food cravings: Nothing much really. I do crave fatty foods, but that's because they're off limits with my gallbladder issues.
Gender: Girl
Labor signs? Not yet!
Belly button in or out? Still half in half out... well, mostly out I guess.
What I miss? Laying on my stomach.
What I am looking forward to? Finishing the nursery!
Weekly wisdom: Enjoy every moment!
Milestones: I officially don't need to have my gallbladder removed before she is born! Hurray!

Work Shower!

On Wednesday my co-workers threw a shower for 3 of us at work. Two other girls are getting married in August & September and then I am due August 9th. it was so much fun to take a long (catered!) lunch and just have some girl time. I got lots of gifts from everyone and just enjoyed celebrating the upcoming arrival of our little girl.

Table all decked out

All the great gifts

My tiara

Just in case you didn't know it was a girl from all the pink...

Weight gain/loss: After my appointment last week I am still up 10.
Maternity clothes? I have some that are getting too tight!
Stretch marks? Oh yea.
Sleep? Eludes me most nights.
Best moment this week? Sleeping in on Saturday morning. Once Justin got out of bed to go to work I moved the middle and was able to sleep a full hour straight through!
Movement: She's a kung fu fighter in there!
Food cravings: Nothing really.
Gender: Girl
Labor signs? No!
Belly button in or out? Mostly out now. You can even see it through some shirts.

Here's a picture Justin took in the nursery today.

Nursery Progress!

Once we bought the crib and set it up we sort of closed the door on the nursery and hadn't looked at it except to put things in there to some day be set up. Well last weekend we finally got started on putting it together.

Here's how it's coming along:


We decided to use a dresser we already had instead of buying a new one because we couldn't find one we liked enough to go with her crib. This one matches, plus it was free!

Here's her crib with clean sheets! I still need to tie the bumper back on, but here's an idea of what it will look like.
And here's the organizers on the back of her door. It's full of blankets and towels that are all freshly washed. It took me 4 loads to do what's in these organizers!

30 Weeks 4 Days

How far along? 30 weeks 4 days!
Weight gain/loss: As of my last appointment last week I am up 10lbs. Not too shabby.
Maternity clothes? All day, every day.
Stretch marks? The only place that's escaped the wrath of the evil stretch mark is my belly... go figure.
Sleep? Has been easier the last few weeks actually.
Best moment this week? Sunday I got a prenatal massage. The spa had a pregnancy pillow attachment for the bed and I was able to lay on my stomach because it had a cutout for my belly. It was fantastic!
Movement: I swear I felt her completely flip from transverse to head-down. It was the weirdest feeling, not like the normal movement and now I am feeling her move in different places than before. I guess we'll find out if that's really what it was at my next appointment.
Food cravings: Still nothing consistently, but when I do want something... I want it NOW.
Gender: Girl
Labor signs? Nope!
Belly button in or out? Half in, half out. Sometimes I can see the top part through tighter shirts, but mostly it's still in tact.
What I miss? Laying on my stomach.
What I am looking forward to? Finishing the nursery! We NEED to find a dresser!
Weekly wisdom: Enjoy everything, even the nausea and dizziness and cankles.
Milestones: 30 weeks! There are only single digit weeks left!
