33 Weeks

How far along? 33 weeks
Baby is the size of a: Durian Fruit (what?? This app I have is so strange).

Total weight gain: around 20 pounds so far...
Maternity clothes? Omg yes, though I wore a non materninty dress the other day but it looked more like a long shirt with leggings underneath ;)
Stretch marks? Not that I've seen so far. Fingers crossed!
Sleep: Yes please! Sleep is hit or miss for me these days. Usually after a night of work I sleep great... On my nights off, not so much. I'm up to use the restroom like every 2-3 hours, my hips are achy, and baby girl is pushing up on my lungs so it's harder and harder to breath!
Exercise: I walk to the mailbox sometimes. Does that count? Oh and up and down the stairs at work (usually... I've been taking the elevator sometimes too). I did get my exercise ball all blown up and ready to use more often though so there's that.
Miss Anything: Now this is a loaded question! I guess the obvious would be wine... And being able to put my shoes on!
Movement: I'm still feeling her move a lot but it's different - it's bigger movements instead of just little kicks and flutters. She's just running outta room in there!
Food cravings: Nothing too specific... But my sweet tooth is pretty out of control lately :) cookies and cake and muffins are always on my mind haha.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Jeremy and I both unfortunately got really bad colds this last week... They both only lasted a few nights and we both were lucky enough to have or get the nights off from work. Mine has stuck around in the form of wheezy-ness and a cough but I think that it's partially having to do with baby girl taking up so much space and pressing on my lungs! 
Labor Signs: Not yet! Maybe feeling some practice contractions (Braxton hicks).
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! But I do get a bit whiney at times just because I'm uncomfortable but I try to keep that to myself (or just complain to Jeremy!).
Looking forward to: Meeting baby girl! But before that seeing all my family and friends at the various baby showers I have coming up- I'm feeling so blessed already by all of the love and support!

(Feeling large and in charge... There's no mistaking this baby bump!)

The baby nursery is coming along as well- the crib is set up & this picture shows Jeremy working on the dresser. Can't wait to start filling it with adorable little outfits :)

Looking Towards the New Year

As January and 2012 creep closer and closer I just wanted to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all our friends and family. We were blessed this year and were able to spend time with so many family members!

The week before Christmas my parents and Aunt Laurie came into town for the weekend - we took that opportunity to invite over Jeremy's grandpa and his wife as well as Jeremy's parents. It also just so happened that his brother Matt and his wife were in town for a wedding so they also came over! It was so much fun having everyone at our house; my first time really entertaining- it went well! We had lots of yummy snacks, the huge tree was all lit up and decorated, fire was burning in the woodstove & drinks were flowing. A giant game of Taboo even happened, with no fights! My team won of course :)

The weekend of Christmas was spent in Bellevue with my family this year. We had delicious food and a lot of laughs (as usual!). This year also marked the first time Jeremy and I visited as husband and wife- we got to stay in the guest bedroom together!! Cutter also enjoyed the trip, my dad spoiled him with bites of Christmas dinner: prime rib!

2011 was an overly incredible year for both Jeremy and I- it is hard to believe how fortunate we are. I hope 2012 is filled with just as many exciting and happy times for us and all of our family. Love to you all.

We Did It!

Photos!

A couple weeks ago we received ALL the photos from our engagement shoot with Honeysuckle Photography... to be honest, there were quite a few pictures that turned out really good! I had my doubts and was worried I wouldn't be able to pick enough that I liked!  Here are a couple that aren't online anywhere yet, but go to their website by clicking HERE to see more.
