Bump Watch: 28 Weeks


Size of baby: Kabocha squash, whatever the heck that is....

Cravings: Sweets

What I'm looking forward to: I took the gestational diabetes test last week so I'm looking forward to getting the results. I really hope I passed!! I'm not sure if they will call me either way, but I have an appointment this Friday so I'm sure we'll go over the results then. We'll also get to listen to baby girl's heartbeat again, which is my favorite thing ever!!

Miss anything?: The winter months! I've been so hot lately, it's exhausting!!

Maternity clothes: The three dresses I ordered last week came and I don't really care for any of them. The shopping continues!

Movement: She's all over the place lately, I love it.

Gender: A sweet baby girl.

Happy or Moody: Happy!

Bump Watch: 27 Weeks


Size of baby: Cauliflower

Cravings: Sweets

What I'm looking forward to: Finishing touches on the nursery. Reed put the crib together and I helped with the dresser woot woot! We put a rug down and I put the blanket I crocheted for her over the crib and it looks pretty awesome in there. It has made me a little emotional (what else is new?) looking in there and seeing the furniture set up. I was a little worried that we were putting the furniture together too soon, I kept thinking what if something happens? I guess those feelings aren't ever going to be 100% out of my mind until she's in my arms.

Miss anything?: I've had a hard time getting comfortable the last two nights. I'm starting to get really hot all the time which is kind of crappy because I'm pretty warm blooded to begin with! I refuse to lower the thermostat because I'm so frugal and I don't want a higher electric bill!

Maternity clothes: I ordered three dresses this week. They offer free shipping and free return shipping so I figured why not? I'm hoping one dress works for the shower and another dress for our maternity pictures!

Movement: She was really active over the weekend. I got a video of my stomach moving from one of her punches. She mellowed out on Sunday when I was with my sister who was hoping to feel her. Stubborn girl!

Gender: A sweet baby girl.

Happy or Moody: Happy! The nursery is starting to come together. Reed is taking some time off the beginning of August so he can finish the projects I've so lovingly given him. We have our birthing class coming up too! It's going by so fast. Pretty soon we're going to have a little baby around here.

San Diego 2013

San Diego was so refreshing last weekend! The weather was amazing!! We flew in early Friday morning, went to get some breakfast, and headed to the zoo. The zoo was a lot of fun. We walked a ton and it would get a little hot when there wasn't a breeze.



My favorite part was seeing the pandas! We had the worst timing though. To get to the pandas you walk through this path where they take your picture and you see a couple other animals before you get to see the pandas. There was a line when we started, but figured it would move pretty quickly. We figured wrong. We made it about half way through and the line stopped moving for about 30 minutes. They had taken the pandas in the back to feed them or do something so everyone was waiting for their chance to see them. Finally, they made their way back into the exhibit and we were able to see them! It was so exciting!


The next day we hung out at the hotel for a little bit and hit the beach. We met up with Reed's family. A lot of people traveled to San Diego for his Aunt's wedding. We were only at the beach for a few hours and went to dinner.


 This is the first time in our relationship where my belly is bigger than Reeds!



Sunday was our last day. We started it off with a delicious brunch prepared by Reed's Aunt and Cousin. I could eat that everyday! We finished the evening at the wedding with a light reception following.


We were looking into the sun so his eyes are a little squinty!

After the reception Reed's best friend and cousin dropped us off at the airport on their way out of town. As we were getting out of the car he said to Reed, good luck with the gun I hid in your carry on. We weren't alarmed by this until we went through security and they pulled Reed's bag for a private screening.


A trip isn't complete unless you get pulled aside by TSA, right? We had a bottle of sunscreen in his carry on, but they checked out his bag, let us keep the sunscreen, and we were on our way home!

Bump Watch: 26 Weeks


Size of baby: Zucchini

Cravings: Ice cream

What I'm looking forward to: I want to start getting the nursery in order.

Miss anything?: Energy.

Maternity clothes: Nothing new.

Movement: I'm feeling her move more and more. She is getting bigger and when she stretches I feel her pop out to one side. It's pretty crazy and freaked me out the first time it happened.

Gender: A sweet baby girl.

Happy or Moody: Happy! We had such a fun time in San Diego. It was so nice to get out of this heat. I'll take San Diego weather over Arizona weather any day!

Nursery

We finally finished painting the nursery and by we, I mean Reed. We're a team, right? It's amazing how paint can change the feel of a room. Now that the room is painted I cannot wait to start decorating and putting the furniture together. Who am I kidding. I can't wait to start decorating and for Reed to put the furniture together. :)

So it begins and I even got a hint of a smile! (In case you were wondering he's growing out his beard until Sadie makes her arrival. I'm so excited, insert sarcasm.)


Seeing some color!


Paint is amazing. He didn't have to use primer or anything to go over the red. The gray covers it perfectly and you have no idea that wall was a darker color!


Everyone paints like this, right?


The finished product! I think it looks great! Good job husband! We're going to clean the carpets and then put the dresser and crib together. I cannot wait to see them in the room. It's going to be pretty crazy to see the furniture set up. We're having a baby, there's going to be a crib in there, say what? Sometimes I'm still in shock that this is happening.

Bump Watch: 25 Weeks


Size of baby: Acorn Squash

Cravings: Sweets. I need to try and have some self control with the sweets. I have the order to get the glucose test done sometime over the next couple of weeks and I want to pass that sucker with flying colors.

What I'm looking forward to: San Diego this weekend. We might splurge and go to the San Diego Zoo. They have panda bears! Yay!

Miss anything?: Energy, it's nothing a few red bulls won't fix. Just Kidding!

Maternity clothes: Nothing new.

Movement: She is currently dancing to The Judds. I think Reed might disown her if she likes country over Michael Jackson...

Gender: A sweet baby girl.

Happy or Moody: Happy! Reed finished painting the nursery. I had a slumber party with our youngest niece this weekend. We went shopping, surprised Reed at work, went swimming, painted our nails, and had nachos for dinner. Surprisingly she took a nap when we got home and I stayed awake.

Naming our girl

One of the exciting parts of having a baby is picking out the name. It's also a big responsibility because they're stuck with it for their WHOLE lives. I've had a girls name picked out for over a year so we lucked out when we found out we're having a girl because we could not agree on boys names. We're naming our little girl...

Sadie Mae!!

Bump Watch: 24 Weeks


Size of baby: Ear of Corn, basically she's starting to get HUGE!

Cravings: Sweets!

What I'm looking forward to: More nursery stuff. We're going to San Diego next weekend. I'm so excited to get out of this heat. It got up to 120 degrees over the weekend, no thank you!

Miss anything?: Soda

Maternity clothes: Nothing new. I need to start shopping for some cute outfits for my shower and our maternity pictures.

Movement: I saw my stomach move for the first time. It was pretty amazing!

Gender: A sweet baby girl.

Happy or Moody: Happy! We had a doctor's appointment last week and everything is going really well. I was worried about how much weight I've gained because we don't have a scale at home so I only know the magic number from each appointment. I'm happy to report it wasn't anything crazy and I'm right where I should be! This weeks picture shows a sneak peak of the wall color in the nursery!
