This is so weird to me because I honestly don't feel like my belly is all that big but when I look at pictures like this it seriously looks huge!
Okay, I seriously can't believe that I am 31 weeks pregnant!! I would like to know what happened to most of my pregnancy. I think about the fact that two weeks from where I'm at right now was when my nephew was born. I'm really hoping this little girl doesn't do that to us and scare us like that. After Christmas please? I'm starting to get more and more excited and more and more terrified for her to be here everyday. Colton is so excited. He tells me on almost a daily basis how excited he is for his little girl to be here. To be able to hold her, and cuddle her. He loves her so much, it seriously melts my heart to watch him. It makes me even more excited for her to be here too because I know that she is going to have the best daddy anyone could ask for. I'm pretty sure I've been nesting a little bit. My house is cleaner lately than it has been probably since we first got married and my OCD has kicked it up a notch the last little bit. That's okay though. I guess that means soon enough I will pack my hospital bag just in case. Hopefully I won't need it for at least another 7 weeks. We had my second baby shower this last weekend. My friend Blaire did it. She did such a fantastic job. Seriously. I'm so grateful for good friends and family who have done so much to support us and make sure that we have what we need. My parents bought us a crib!! Now we finally have that set up. It makes me feel so much more prepared, physically at least. It actually makes me less prepared mentally because it means it's getting closer and closer. My sister made this adorable car seat canopy for us, and so many other people have given us such cute and useful stuff. I'm just incredibly grateful for all of it. We are going down to my sisters this weekend to see what she has that we can borrow and then after than we will have just a few things left to get for her and then we will be completely set. I can't believe it. I expected that we would have to worry about getting so many more things but honestly, it's just about diapers is all. We truly are blessed.
Adorable car-seat cover made by my sister Sarah Beth love it so much!
The crib blanket and bumpers were made by Grandma Jill and the doll is a gift from Grandpa Clair.
Our crib! I love it. The blanket on the end is hand-quilted by her great-grandma Burguoyne and the blanket with the E was a gift from a few of my classmates. Super cute stuff. She is going to be spoiled.
How far along? 31 weeks 0 days!
Total weight gain/loss: I have no idea at this point. One day I weight up about 3 pounds then the next day I am back to my starting weight. Who knows.
Maternity clothes? Yeah, I'm about ready to go buy a few more pairs of maternity pants.
Stretch marks? sadly yes.
Sleep: On and off. Not great but not terrible. My parents are buying me a body pillow this week so that will help I think.
Best moment this week: Having my baby shower. Seriously, Blaire did such a great job. I owe her dinner or something. Also getting my crib set up and realizing how few things we still need to get to be ready for this baby. We are so incredibly blessed, that is for sure.
Miss anything? I'm not sure. Not really anything right now. Honestly things are going pretty good overall.
Movement: It's kind of changed again, I think she's starting to have a lot less room because it's less rolling and hard kicking now and more just pushing out against my skin. I think it's going to be really strange after she is born to no longer feel all the sensations in my stomach all the time.
Food cravings: In and Out burger. And, last night I made Colton go buy me a pizza and I ate half of it.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope.
Have you started to show yet: Yes.
Gender: GIRL!!!
Labor signs: no
Bell button in or out? in, and it had better stay that way! I dislike outie belly buttons and do not want one.
Wedding rings on or off? Sadly off.
Happy or moody most of the time: Honestly, unless I'm feeling really crappy (which I have been getting some headaches the last few days) I am so incredibly happy. Like happier than I have been probably ever. I just feel so grateful all the time. And like my life is completely under control even when it's not and I don't know. It's weird, but it's happy!
Looking forward to: Going and seeing Sarah Beth and Dusty this weekend, and next weekend Colton told me that we could put up our Christmas stuff early because Thanksgiving is so late this year. I'm so excited! I love Christmas time. I did all of my shopping yesterday!
Baby is the size of a pineapple!
She's about 15.2 - 16.7 inches long and weighs about 2.5 - 3.8 pounds!
She's getting so big, and crowding mommy's lungs.
She's going through major brain and nerve development.
Eye development too, her irises now react to light!
All five of her senses are in working order!




I do not see the buntings that Mimie made for her in the pictures!
