34/35 weeks!

Lots of fun things happening over here lately and lots of big news to share!!  We had another ultrasound last week because baby girl was measuring big...and that she is! she was a little under 7lbs at only 34 weeks! I could not believe it! We had a checkup yesterday and we asked what this meant and the Dr said they estimated her weighing 10lbs by 39 weeks and said there was risk of her breaking a collar bone or an arm coming out and recommended a C-Section. So Chris and I both decided we were not willing to risk anything of the sort and agreed that was the way to go. So we decided September 29th baby girl shall make her grand entrance! Unless of course I go into labor sooner than that! She needs to stay put for a little bit longer though so her tiny lungs can finish fully developing! 

...Here's a two week pregnancy update for you :)

How far along:  36 weeks tomorrow

Gender Prediction?: GIRL...confirmed again at last ultrasound!


baby is the size of?:  A big baby :)

Weight gain: yes...and I am feeling every pound of everything!

Maternity clothes: All of them!

Stretch marks: A few small ones underneath my belly

Belly button in or out: Out

Sleep: Not so great. It takes way too long to get comfortable and once I do, I either am up to pee, forgot to plug in my phone, or take my prenatal vitamin and then have to start the whole process over :( Also my hips have been hurting so bad in the mornings..probably from me sleeping on my side and all of the extra pressure/weight on them! haha

Best moment this week: Finding out baby girl will be here sooner than we thought and having an exact birthdate for her made everything seem so much more real. IT IS HAPPENING THIS MONTH! 23 DAYS! or sooner if she can't wait till then. I can't believe it. This pregnancy has flown by and now I keep thinking of things I haven't bought or done yet and am kind of freaking out...but they say you are never really 100% ready for a baby and I feel that is definitely the case for me. We'll survive! 

So in love with those cheeks!

snoozing on her arm..as always.

Also, after 11 weeks of waiting our crib bedding finally decided to show up and I couldn't be more in love with it! Although it was way too expensive..and apparently bumpers are considered dangerous nowadays? Wish we would have known this before we purchased! Oh well, it will look pretty until we decide to put her in the crib
 ;)

Diaper bag..thought I would share because I love

it so much! Did not love finding the same exact

one in the store for $40 cheaper the next day though ;)

Got all of our maternity pictures back and also love how they turned out! Here are just a few of my favorites.

Miss anything: Being able to walk more than 10 feet without hurting..and also shaving should be considered an olympic sport while you are pregnant. just saying.

Movement: Not really distinct kicking anymore..more like rolling and stretching. I love being able to follow her little foot/heel across my belly.

Cravings: Still loving those fruit smoothies! 

Queasy or sick: Not really. More like serious body aches/cramps/pressure/pain. Last Tuesday at work I started having bad cramping and serious back pains. I made an appt just to be safe and fortunately  I am not dilating or anything but they did pull me out of work for the remainder of my pregnancy. Being a nurse and on your feet all day and lots of bending/lifting is really difficult this far along ! It is a good thing but I know I am going to go absolutely craaaazy at home for these next few weeks. Soo someone come over and keep me company :)!

Looking forward to: Soaking in these last few weeks of pregnancy and awaiting baby girls arrival!! Also, I must say I am looking forward to football sundays starting back up (you know i'm in it for the chicken wing dip and chili and all that other yummy food Chris makes on Sundays ;) ) annnnddd SOA starts back up on Tuesday which I am super excited for!
