31 Weeks!!!

Only 8 1/2 weeks to go!!! Yes! That's only 61 days!

So, we are getting closer and closer to meeting our little princess!  It's hard to believe that 7 months have gone by.  I can't wait to hold her in my arms.  I sit and imagine what she's going to look like...will she look like me or Ryan?  What color will her eyes be?  What color hair will she have?  Regardless, she's going to be one beautiful baby!  I can't wait! 

We went last Friday for our Dr appointment and got to hear Addison's strong little heartbeat.  That sound never gets old!  LOVE IT! 

• Addison is moving all over the place!  Sometimes it feels likes she's kicking, but I mostly feel her moving.  It feels like she is constantly changing positions.  She moves pretty much all day long and I rarely feel her once I go to bed.  She must be on her Mommy's sleep schedule! It would be awesome if she kept that schedule once she's born :)  I think I felt her have hiccups the other day, but I'm not sure.
• The swelling is a little worse than it has been.  It's especially bad on work days or if I go on a cleaning spree.  My ankles swell pretty bad and my fingers stay a little puffy.  I think alot of that is the heat too. 
• Sleep is really good.  I do have some back trouble, but I think it's mostly from sleeping on my side.  The pillow tricks work some nights and sometimes they don't.
• My cravings haven't changed.  I still want fruit, chocolate, chickfila, and firehouse.  I would really love an ICEE right now :/

I had my first Baby Shower this past Saturday and everything was absolutely beautiful!  I am so thankful to have such great friends!  Everything looked amazing!   I want to share some pictures with ya'll.



Another big weekend ahead!  We have maternity pictures on Saturday and another shower on Sunday:) I can't wait!!!


See ya'll next time :)

30 Weeks!!!

Wow!  Only 10 more weeks! (really it's 9 1/2 because I'm posting late) It won't be long!!!

So...I'm definitely feeling the pregnancy at this point! Whew!  It's an experience, that's for sure! But it is absolutely going to be worth it! :)

This week:

          Sleep...ahhh sweet sleep!  I am sleeping well these days.  Although all weekend my body decided that I was waking up at 5:30-6 every morning.  I'm not up and down all night or anything though.  Sleeping well through the night.  I was so ready to head to bed last night that I never set my alarm, which resulted in me waking up an hour late and trying to figure out why the room was so bright. lol

          No specific food cravings this week.

          I know I complain about this heat every week, but it is so HOT!  I went to lunch Saturday and was so embarassed because I felt like I was going to melt! We were inside and I could not cool down!  I was sweating so bad! LOL! 

          Moods...hmmm.  I am more emotional now than I have been so far.  It doesn't take much for me to cry.  It ranges from sweet commercials on tv to how insecure I feel at this point.  I wouldn't classify myself as the "crazy pregnant woman" lol but I am definitley full of emotions! (and hormones haha)

          My ankles and feel still swell if I'm on them too long.  Mostly at the end of workdays.  It goes away pretty quickly and isn't very often.

          I am very excited for my first baby shower this weekend!  I am so thankful that we have such great friends and family!  I can't wait I know it's going to be so much fun!  (And Ryan can't wait for his morning of golfing :))  I can't wait to share pictures with ya'll!

          Also, we have a Baby Dr appointment Friday!  So excited to hear her little heartbeat again!  I love that sound!!!  I can't wait to meet our precious baby girl!!! ( here come the tears again lol)  It's just so amazing!  God has blessed me with a great husband who is my very best friend, a wonderful home, a great job, wonderful family and friends, and so many other things...yet he wasn't finished.  He is blessing me with this beautiful baby girl and I can't express how amazing that feels!  I can't wait to see her beautiful face and begin this wonderful new chapter in our lives and I couldn't ask for a better person to share this journey with than Ryan.  He is absolutely amazing, I love him so much, and he is going to be an amazing Daddy!

          I may post again before next week with some baby shower pictures.  I hope you all have a great week!  :)

 

29 Weeks!!!

Only 11 more weeks!

Seriously! Only 11 more weeks! Only 73 days! That's insane!

We can't wait to meet you Addsion!!!

          It's HOT HOT HOT outside! Whew! So thankful for AC and my parents having a pool!:)

          Addison is definitely bouncing around like crazy!  It's the cutest thing!  My whole belly moves around and changes shapes.  It's so cute!  I love it!

          My food cravings are still fruit, the chargrilled sandwich at Chickf-fil-a, and CHOCOLATE!!!

          Sleep is still pretty good.  My back gives me a little trouble, so it makes it a little difficult to get comfortable.  My legs and feet get restless if I stay up too late.  And Little Miss Addison likes to wake up super early somedays ;)

          My ankles still swell slightly if I'm on my feet alot.  Mostly at the end of a work day.  My hands stay a little puffy, but I think that the hot weather doesn't help either. 

          My moods are pretty good, still a little irritable with some things and I am a little emotional, but for the most part I'm a pretty happy girl!  I hope the husband agrees :/

          We got her little ruffled diaper cover in that I ordered off of Etsy and it is SO CUTE!  I can't wait to dress her up!!! :)  Pink, flowers, and frilly stuff!!! Yay!

         So excited for all of the upcoming events this month! Between Dr's appointments, maternity photos, and showers, it's going to be fun :):)
