Precious Boy!

I couldn't resist! I had to go get another 4D ultrasound! He still has quite a bit of room to move and gain some weight. I keep saying the last time was the last time but who knows! I absolutely love looking at his precious face!

34 Weeks

Only a few more weeks! So many people have said what a long 9 months (hah! more like 10!) of pregnancy is, but I still can't believe in only a few weeks I will be a mommy to a little boy! Everything has been great lately. I have found myself getting more emotional about things. It could be laughing out loud hysterically about something funny or balling my eyes out because something is sad or touching. Crazy hormones! I did get LB's dresser and changing table, just haven't gotten around to taking pics. This week I have also figured out how all of his contraptions work. I don't want to be the crazy lady in the parking lot with a crying baby and fighting with the stroller because I can't figure out how to get it to collapse! I should have got the one that collapses itself with the touch of the button! At any rate I am figuring things out and am loving some of the features that come with all the new baby gear.

Only three more weeks until LB is considered full term!

How far along? 34 Weeks

Total weight gain: 18 lbs

Maternity clothes: Since the weather has warmed up I am making use of loose fitting dresses!

Stretch marks? Not a one! :-)

Best moment this week: Maternity photo shoot! Pics to come!

Miss anything? Still would love a margarita on a hot day! I am also looking forward to getting a better than pre baby body ASAP! There are so many cute clothes out for summer which gives me lots of inspiration!

Movement: He has definitely slowed down, I guess he is running out of room. He gets the hiccups a lot though!

Food cravings: All the yummy fruit right now! And Oreo's!

Anything making you quesy or sick? Nope

Gender: Precious Boy!

Labor signs: Lots of Braxton Hicks and I have been woken up a couple times in the middle of the night with some crazy contractions... eeesh!

Belly button in or out? Can you believe still in?? It's almost flat but still an innie!

Happy or Moody? Still one HAPPY mommy to be!

Looking forward to: Seeing the pics from the maternity shoot and meeting LB!!!

33 Weeks!

I am finally getting to the point where I am ready for this little boy to get here! I can't wait to meet him and kiss his sweet little cheeks! Not to mention dress him up in all of his cute clothes! Speaking of which I will be washing and folding all of them this afternoon! The dresser and changing table are set to arrive today so I can finally start putting things away. It will also give me a chance to see what I might still need, but I think I am pretty much set for his arrival. I talked to the company I ordered the bassinet from and I guess the Artisan is waiting on a shipment to complete the order, so hopefully I will have it next week. I didn't realize it was hand made/made to order. I will post pics as soon as everything is set up and organized.

Happy Wednesday!

How far along? 33 Weeks

Best moment this week: Seeing LB in the ultrasound. He is in the vertex position which means he's ready to go!

Miss anything: Going on a summer vacay, an adult beverage and a flat tummy...

Movement: He loves to dig his little toes into my ribs which is not very comfortable, but yes he is still wiggling around in there!

Food cravings: Nothing really, just the usual.

Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope

Gender: Still XY!

Labor signs: Taking it easy and all has been good!

Belly button in or out? Still, amazingly, and innie.

Happy or Moody: One HAPPY mommy to be!!!

Looking forward to: Getting the furniture and putting all of his clothes away.

Up too early this morning...

I figured since I was up so early I would post a new pic and give you an update. This week LB's bassinet, dresser and changing table will be here! I am so excited to organize all of his clothes and put everything away. I have major OCD issues! I'm going to wait on a crib for a while but do have my eye on a few. Wednesday's post should have pics of the new furniture and an update from the doctor.
Hope you are having a fabulous weekend!

3D/4D Ultrasound Pics

Here are some pics of LB from his 3D/4D ultrasounds. I was thinking that 31 weeks would be the last one but now I'm thinking I want to go one more time before he gets here. I just love seeing his little face!!!

15 Weeks

24 Weeks

31 Weeks

He really has changed a lot! I can't wait to meet him!!!

32 Weeks

Seems like I have so much to do and not much time to do it before LB gets here. My shower was this last weekend so I have a bunch of things to put together and organize. Not to mention umpteen loads of laundry!!! Hopefully his basinet will be here next week as will his changing table and dresser. Once the changing table and dresser arrives I can begin organizing all of his clothes, bibs, burp cloths and pajamas. I can't wait to dress him up in all of his cute clothes. That is the one thing I have splurged on, LB will probably be in a new outfit every other few hours! Everything else is going pretty good, just trying to rest and take it easy until he gets here!

Baby Shower Fun!

This last weekend was my Shower and I had such a wonderful time! I am so grateful for all of my wonderful friends and family that made my day so special!! I received so many sweet, precious and wonderful gifts! I can't wait to dress him up, wrap him up and play with LB and all these wonderful things!

It was truly a very special day!!!

It's been a busy week! My mom got into town Tuesday and we have had something on the agenda every day. My Baby Shower is this Saturday and I can not wait! I love spending time with my friends and am so excited to see everyone! I will definitely post lots of pics!

30 Weeks!

So 30 weeks! Just seems crazy to me how fast the time is truly flying! Not a whole lot to update you on, just working on getting some things organized and slowly getting furniture for LB. It seems like moving gets more and more daunting by the day and the timing is going to be cutting it really close. Might be better just to stay put for a while and re-visit the idea later. It will be tight but we'll make it work!
Still looking forward to the last 3D/4D ultrasound which is scheduled a week from today as well as my baby shower which is a week from Saturday. I can't wait to see everyone and also spend some time with my family!

Best moment this week? Getting some more cute clothes for LB and figuring out what he will wear in the hospital as well as his outfit to come home in. 

Miss anything? Sushi!

Movement: Still moves quite a bit. He is really good about putting his feet in my ribs, ouch! He also gets the hiccups often! 

Food cravings: Cookies and fruit!
