Baby Bump Update: 34 Weeks (No not Months!)

I didn't change the picture just because it verifies preggo brain...

34 MONTHS! LOL

This is Week #:  34 Weeks

Total Weight Gain:  19 lbs

What I am wearing:  I am dreaming of clothes after baby right now.  Looking in my closet is exhausting…it feels like nothing is comfortable enough (except the maxi dress and gaucho pants of course!)

Favorite accessory/piece of clothing:  Still gotta say Gaucho’s, Maxi Dress, and cami’s

Body woes:  Little Mr. Adams is having a fun time crushing my upper ribs…they are SO sore!  Man oh man. 

Best part of week:  We had a blast in Knoxville (SAFE HAVEN happened and I loved it…we got a healthy check-up/no gestational diabetes, did some shopping for baby), Random trip to Asheville with hubs…ordered the rest of our furniture (he got a TV…long story) and our house is on its way to being ready for our new additionJ  Great feeling:)!  Oh, and we got a sneak peek at maternity pics (they’re supposed to be on their way this week!)

Feel anything in there?  Ok I THOUGHT he had slowed down in the moving department…wrong!  He must be very uncomfortable in there…that’s all I can figure out.

Gives me the Creeps:  coffee…:,(, and anything I bring for lunch (horrible isn’t it?) maybe it’s unappealing because it’s set for a couple hours?

I miss:  Sleeping on my belly, Diet Pepsi’s, coffee, hair color, sweat.  These are all things I don’t think I’ll remember after he gets here…No complaints!

Zzzzz Pattern: Just several pee visits with the bathroom.

Gender:  Little ManJ

Belly Button Metamorphasis:  It is on vacation until March 27ish

I’m Craving:  Starbucks, Cookie Dough ice cream

Working Out Regimen:  2 times, we have had a busy week!  I have got to get back at it so I don’t lose momentum!

Mood (s):  HappyJ

I can’t wait for:  Maternity pics, Furniture Delivery, Baby A’s arrival, End of Master’s Project and clinical rotation, Completion of nursery.  Can’t wait to share everything!

This week, Baby A weighs as much as:

 A bag of sugar!

On the Road to TN Again...

After I got out of class on Tuesday, the Mr, Penny and I headed to Knoxville to spend the night for the early morning call time for the baby doc appointment on Wednesday.  What was different about this trip?  We got to FINALLY shop for our little guy.  We joked about how many times we had "visited" Baby's R Us...we figured they were getting suspicious with as many times as we had came and left empty handed!  We took all of the gift cards from our shower, and checked off almost everything on our list and spent roughly less than $100 out of our own pocket.  WOW!  Definitely a blessing:)

BUT first...We had our belated Valentines date and went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner, Gander Mountain and HHGregg (yes I was a great wife as well-wink wink) ANNNNDD seen "Safe Haven,"-the movie I have been waiting to see for a WHOLE year and it DID NOT disappoint:)  

            

Neither did the Cherry Slushie or Sourpatch Kids;) says the chick going in for a second gestational diabetes test...OOPS!

Wake up at 6:30 am and head to the baby doc!

Despite the numerous finger pricks and NASTY glucose drink I had to chug for the second time...everything turned out perfect!  No gestational diabetes...the "little" 5 lb 3 oz-er slowed down his growth spurt weighing in at 6 lbs (on track to be a normal 7-8 lbs come end of March-shwew!) and we both had very healthy checkups buying us two more weeks before we make the weekly journey to Knoxville just before he arrives.  

But I am really NOT complaining...I love the trips;)

And once again...we were shocked to be given a 3D "photo shoot."  We have been spoiled to death with these things...

Look for the nose and mouth...that's all your gonna see!

He's yawning!

Side view

Off to Target, RED LOBSTER, Buy Buy Baby, Homegoods, Babies R Us... 

Our RL staple...Lobster Artichoke Dip - pretty sure I could live off of this stuff!

 I would say we had a successful shopping trip:)

We're almost ready!!

Two of the most exciting things for me...(I know I know...DORK!)

Feeding "Tools"!

OK...so a LOT of randomness in this post-forgive me;)

Have a great night!

Baby Bump Update:33 Weeks

Hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day!  Sorry it has been so long since I have last posted!  Life is really catching up with me, but that just means it is getting very EXCITING.  We are tiny details away from being finished with the nursery, I am tired of waiting on maternity pictures to announce Baby A's entire name and be able to share his baby shower fun (so look for that this next week!), and I have almost completed all of my clinical hours and will have Phase I of my Masters Project behind me after the first week in March!  He is almost here you guys!  AHHHHHHHH:)

This is Week #:  33 Weeks

Total Weight Gain:  17 lbs

What I am wearing:  Found some fabulous black gaucho pants lonely in my closet last week and once we got reacquainted on Friday…it’s hard to chose another pair!  SO comfy!

Favorite accessory/piece of clothing:  Gaucho’s, Maxi Dress, and cami’s (much more comfy than bra’s!)

Body woes:  Felt pretty good this week until I caught an upper respiratory sickness from the nursing home:/  This week we have another illness spreading…fingers crossed it doesn’t spread like the other! 

Best part of week:  Furniture arrived and my sweet family did some spring cleaning at our house.  We are READY!

Feel anything in there?  He is actually starting to slow down a bit…it is very weird.  But throw Penny on him and he will give her a mastered karate chop.  He doesn’t tolerate her very well at this point…hoping this changes!

Gives me the Creeps:  coffee…:,(, the sugar drink I have to endure again for the glucose test (nightmares! Yuck!)

I miss:  Sleeping on my belly, Diet Pepsi’s, coffee, hair color, sweat.  But it’s all worth it for what is comingJ  I can’t wait.

Zzzzz Pattern: A little heartburn and reflux visited again.  At least it was just one nightJ

Gender:  Little ManJ

Belly Button Metamorphasis:  I don’t think I have one anymore…

I’m Craving:  Frappes, sandwiches

Working Out Regimen:  Around 3 times, can’t say enough how thankful I am for fit sugar and you tube!

Mood (s):  HappyJ

I can’t wait for:  Maternity pics, Knoxville trip today and tomorrow, Using gift cards to shop for rest of Baby's things, Baby A’s arrival, End of Master’s Project and clinical rotation, Completion of nursery.  I pretty much just live on edge!;)  And I like it!

I turn 34 weeks tomorrow so the updates may be pretty close together!
