Are you done cooking yet?!

I know I said I would get better at this, but I haven't! It's been a while since my last update, oops! Life has been crazy busy planning and executing both mine and Adam's baby showers (which were so fun!) and wrapping things up at work so I can be home and stay home.  My last day of work was July 2nd, (6 years!) and I can't believe how incredibly busy I've been since.  I think Adam thought I was going to be bored, but I'm not.  It takes a lot more energy to do things these days, and I'm quite slow.  It's annoying to me, but I'll get over it :) Now the highlights of my day consist of: gym, grocery store, cooking dinner, and cleaning.  Adam sure does love coming home to a clean house.  He tells me almost every day :) I've also been busy planning my best friends bridal shower, wahoo!!! And I made the baby's bedding.  More of all that to come later with pictures.

Recap: 29-36 Weeks
Total weight gain: up 28 lbs.
Maternity clothes? Still pants/shorts but not really any tops.  I don’t like the feel of them so they still have tags on them.  Dresses are my favorite right now, but I wear mostly regular ones.  The two maternity ones in my closet were given to me by a dear friend.
Stretch marks? Nope!
Sleep: Took a turn for the worst at about 33 weeks.  My hips hurt and I have to pee more now than ever! BUT I know it will be over soon!
Best moment from these weeks: Our baby showers were so much fun!  And our maternity pics turned out great :) Adam started falling asleep with his hand on my belly to feel the baby move.  He is getting really excited!
Miss Anything? Sleeping through the night :) But overall I’ve had the best pregnancy and I can’t complain!
Movement: still lots of movement.. they say it starts to slow down by 36 weeks....nope, not my child!
Food cravings: It’s summer and there is so much fruit around our house!  I can eat it all day :)  And I still LOVE Mexican food.
Anything making you queasy or sick: nope!
Gender: It’s still a surprise! Up until about 33 weeks everyone has been saying it’s a boy.  Now strangers tell me it’s a girl...so we will see :)
Labor Signs: No...darn!
Symptoms: Started feeling pressure at 34 weeks.  Now when I’m walking and the baby is moving at the same time it’s really uncomfortable, but funny :) And I hit the tired wall at 34 weeks, the day after I stopped working. Coincidence?!
Belly Button in or out? Out
Wedding rings on or off? On! Still On!
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy, oh so very happy!
Looking forward to: Meeting our little love!

Let's see how big I've gotten, shall we? (Adam was gone on a fire, so some pics don't have the chalkboard :/ But you get the idea.)






Despite what people have been telling me for the last 3 weeks, my belly hasn't grown!  I've been measuring around my belly button out of curiosity, and it hasn't changed since the beginning of July.  So now when people say, "oh! you look so big!" or "wow, look at the belly!",  I just smile inside and tell myself I look just fine :)

And here is a pic just to make you laugh :)  And another to prove there are no stretch marks and I'm still in a bikini! Yay for summer and a tan baby belly :)
