Baby Shower/Bumpdate!

So much going on over here, not sure where to start with this one! 

Last weekend Nicki, Dan and Mikayla were up from Maryland and we were busy as ever with so many fun festivities! 

Saturday: Was a day full of wedding fun! ( No peeps, not ours as many of you thought! haha) Robby, one of Chris and Dan's bestfriends from high school got married and they were both in the wedding. It was so much fun!

Not really sure whats on Robby's head ..and of

This was such a fun night celebrating Robby and Sara and even though I couldn't drink you better believe I had lots of shirley temples and yummy food and cake...oh and there was a smores bar...boom!

Sunday: Was a day full of celebrating our precious little peanut Ava! It turned out absolutely amazing and beautiful!! I can't thank my momma enough for putting this together for me and working so hard on making all of the little details come together. Also Nicki for doing all of the games and for all of her hard work helping as well. Lots of love for you ladies!!

Thank you ALL so much for coming and for all

of the sweet gifts and love you showered baby girl with!!

I can't wait to show Ava someday just how loved she was even

BEFORE she was born. We love you all so much :)

Monday: Chris and I both took the day off from work just to catch our breath and attempt to sort through all of the baby goodies and start getting organized and put our house back together. Also had my 33 week checkup at the OB, where I measured 36.5 weeks...we now have to go for an ultrasound tomorrow to make sure baby girl isn't ahead of schedule or measuring too big. I'm sure everything is fine...I won't turn down another ultrasound though that is for sure!! Will keep you all posted :)

Now for the Bump Date!

How far along:  34 weeks 1 day


Gender Prediction?:  Girl

Baby is the size of?:  A Pineapple! 19-22 inches long and 5 lbs! Will know exact measurements tomorrow though!

Weight gain: To be truthful I have gained much more than the 25-35 lb average that women are "supposed to" gain... try 45-50.. I am ashamed! 

Maternity clothes: I hate clothes.

Stretch marks: Not full blown yet but definitely the beginnings of them on either side of my belly button

Belly button in or out: OUT

Sleep: Not very good lately. Everything is uncomfortable. Horrible back pain/sciatic pain. Rolling over is a workout and waking up all the time to use bathroom sucks. I give you permission to slap me if I complained to you about my first trimester ;) 


Best moment this week: Well last week was the baby shower and wedding which was so much fun!! This week not much going on so far...Took the day today to sort through lots of baby clothes and wash everything...baby laundry smells so yummy!

Does it get any cuter? Yea yea...it'll be a hot mess

in a few months but for now its adorable.

Chris being such a good sport helping me

sort through the piles and piles of baby girl clothes!

Miss anything: Being able to bend over...seriously...can't even put shoes on without help. I miss not feeling like a beached whale and not huffing/puffing after going up 5 stairs ;)

Movement: LOTS. She is running out of room in there! I love setting things on my belly like the remote and watching her try to kick it off. Also love feeling her little hands/feel roll across my belly and be able to follow and watch !

Cravings: Smoothies!! Can't get enough of them lately. Lots of fruit and water....Not sure if its because I am so hot all the time or what. FYI if your near wegmans...they have the BEST smoothies!! I have been getting them everyday and love the 4 berry fruit and yogurt kind. YUM!

Queasy or sick:  Just read above paragraphs :)

Looking forward to: Ultrasound tomorrow and finding out how big baby girl is!!
