32 Weeks with our Little Man

Pregnancy Highlights

32 weeks!

How far along? 32 weeks!

Baby's size? Honeydew Melon (19 inches, 4.5 pounds)

Gender? It's a boy!!! David Andrew

Weight Gain? +22.5 lbs... 

Maternity clothes? Yup! I can still wear my t-shirts, dresses, and "comfy" pants/shorts, though. 

Stretch marks? I think I've got some new ones... but you have to look at them in certain lights to see them...

Belly button in or out? 1/2 in, 1/2 out...

Sleeping? It really depends on the night. Sometimes I'm only up once, sometimes I'm up 3-5 times... I really like the nights I only wake up once! :)

Foods I'm loving? Pizza and steak (especially the Huguenot Filet from Peli Peli)

Foods I'm hating? Nothing really! Just don't really like to mess with raw meat, but that also goes for pre-pregnancy, so who knows. ;)

Best moment this week? Getting David's nursery set up, washing and putting away his clothes!

Movement? Yup! And it's all the time! 

What I'm looking forward to? My ultrasound on Monday!

What I miss? Great sleep...

Symptoms? Frequent potty breaks, exhaustion, the occasional nosebleed, and food cravings

Milestones? We're in the single digits, weeks wise! 8 weeks to go!

Emotions? The crying is coming back... I've been getting kind of emotional reading certain things and watching some stuff on TV.

Happy Birthday Alan!!

I just want to take a few minutes to wish my sweet husband Happy Birthday! He's the greatest husband anyone could wish for and I'm so thankful for him. He works extremely hard for our family and I love him even more for that! He is also the greatest Daddy to Miss Elizabeth! When he gets home, he can't wait to play with Elizabeth, no matter how tired he is. Thanks for all you do and I hope you have a great birthday!

Catch it, Elizabeth! :)

Handing the ball back to Daddy

Mmm Mmm Good...

Check out E's 17 month post. I know it's a little late, but I kept waiting on my big camera that is being worked on. I finally bit the bullet and did it today, but backdated it for her actual 17 month birthday... :)

Elizabeth and I had a fun filled morning! We went shopping with a friend at Once Upon a Child (I'm on the hunt for a double stroller...) and then hit up Chick-fil-a for lunch! And let me tell you, Elizabeth LOVES Chick-fil-a! I normally just get a 12 count with large fries to split between the two of us because it's cheaper than getting her a kids meal and me something, which is the reason for the large fry container... Today, she decided that she needed to eat her fries out of the container! She grabbed the empty container, put her french fry in it, and would grab it out of the container to take a bite, then put it back in - only to repeat the process. I just love this sweet girl!!

Yummy!

Semi-Wordless Wednesday

So Elizabeth got some new fall/winter shoes from Gammie when they were down a couple weeks ago. I put them on her this morning, and she loved them! Of course, I'm sure a big part of this love is due to the fact that they squeak. We went to lunch with my sister-in-law, so I took the squeakers out in order to not annoy other people and E was sooo confused! I wish I had thought to video her reaction when I first put them on her, but you'll just have to imagine it while watching a video I took after her nap. And I have no idea why she kept saying "no..."

Labor Day Weekend

We sure had a busy, but productive weekend! I'm so glad Alan had Monday off - it let us relax since we didn't do much of that Saturday or Sunday!

Friday evening, Elizabeth and I were in our play room waiting on Daddy to get home! She would go from peeking out the window, to knocking on the front door (a new favorite pastime), to trying to reach and open the door, and then repeat the whole cycle... I think someone missed their Daddy!

Knock, knock...

I almost got it!!

"helping" with laundry

Saturday, Elizabeth and I had a lot of time to play, since Daddy was all over Houston picking up our rocker and the furniture for David's room (you can see his room here). We had a friend come over and help Alan get the furniture in the house, and we were GREATLY appreciative of it! Saturday evening was spent getting the room in order and beginning the process of washing all of David's clothes!

Meanwhile... here is what Miss E was up to...

Playing it toys too small for her

Putting animals in their bag...

... and dumping them out...

... and then putting them in the ark!

Once we got his rocker in place, Elizabeth tried sooo hard to climb in... But it's just a little too high...

Let me up!

This is mine, right!?

Happy to be in the rocker

Saturday night, I didn't sleep very well at all, so I stayed home from church on Sunday. E has had a bit of a runny nose, so I kept her with me (she would've been fine in the nursery, though... I'm still a paranoid mom...). We had leftover pizza for lunch! And I finally got a semi-decent picture of her new favorite face:

When did she become a teenager!?

Most of the time she's glaring at you with her face tilted down, but for some reason she wouldn't do that on Sunday. She's not really mad, but she sure plays the part! As soon as you smile at her, she's back to her normal, smiley self!

And I have to include this picture, just because it's cute! She loves to play with her farmhouse, except now, instead of sitting or standing to play with it, she likes to lounge on her giant caterpillar. I promise, though, she does have a diaper on! She had just gotten her clothes all wet, so I stripped her to a diaper and hadn't had a chance to put new ones on her.

David's Nursery Reveal... Part One

Well, this is going to be a two part reveal... We've gotten all of the "big" stuff in David's room, but now we're just trying to find the finishing touches. We bought some wall plaques at Hobby Lobby, but they don't really fit in with the bedding, so it's back to square one!

Crib and rocker

Dresser

Changing table (still needs a changing pad)

Crib bedding

Dresser top (the ball, glove, and
helmet were Alan's from when
he was growing up!)

David's going home outfit!
You can't see it, but there are little
animals embroidered on the outfit.
