Happy Thanksgiving!

Gobble till ya wobble!

35 Weeks

This is a pretty crazy week...and Mama is tired! I will make sure to update the blog (doubly) next week!! :)

34 Weeks

How far along? 34 Weeks!

Symptoms? Insomnia on occasion, back aches, 

Sleep: Sleeping for stretches of about 4 hours and then I will wake up and be wide awake. I think part of the issue is I have so much on my mind!
Best moment this week: Finally being done with the parent-teacher conferences that have been running my life for the past few weeks. DONE! 

Miss Anything? Getting out of bed like a normal person. Sleeping like a normal person. And sub sandwiches. Home stretch, folks....I can almost taste that turkey and salami sandwich!!!!

Movement: Poor guy is running out of room. He moves quite a bit during the day trying to find a comfortable position. While I love his movements, they are often strong and sometimes take my breath away. (especially when he punches my bladder). Also--lots of little hiccups down low. Stay head down, little dude!

Food cravings: Fall sweets--especially apple, cranberry, and pumpkin flavors! I'm also looking forward to some yummy Thanksgiving eats! Bring on that bird!
Gender prediction: Boy!

Labor Signs?  I don't think so....not even a braxton hicks that I know of! Just lots of sharp jabs from little man.

Belly Button in or out?  Flat as a pancake! (mmmm....pancakes!)
Wedding rings on or off? Still on!
Mood: Literally everything is pushing my buttons. I'm trying hard to not lash out at others....but....well, sorry in advance.
Weekly Wisdom:  Don't try to fix something that doesn't want to be fixed. I am having a really hard time dealing with this fact. All I can do is worry about having my life together and I can't help it if others in my life choose to make poor choices.
Looking forward to: Thanksgiving break....which is THANKFULLY a FULL WEEK! Praise! I'm hoping to make a lot of progress on Grayson's room and be as close to done as possible!

33 Weeks

How far along? 33 Weeks!

Symptoms? Just feeling uncomfortable overall. I also am feeling REALLY dumb--baby brain is a serious thing!

Sleep: I'm feeling very tired a lot of the day and I am crashing by 9 most evenings. Most nights, I can sleep through the night, however, I have a few nights that'll I wake up around 3 and be WIDE awake for at least an hour. SO annoying. 
Best moment this week:Getting our new fridge! Yay! And my baby shower at work was so nice. My team did an amazing job and spoiled us rotten! 

Miss Anything? Mobility. Getting off the couch takes an act of God. 

Movement: Lots of baby movements...however, I can definitely tell he is running out of room! Just a little bit longer, little man!

Food cravings: For some reason, I have been wanting chocolate chip pancakes....and I haven't had them yet! I am also still loving on all things apple: apple juice, apple cider, apple sauce....and just plain apples. I can't get enough! YUM!
Gender prediction: Boy!

Labor Signs?  Not at all!

Belly Button in or out?  Flat button
Wedding rings on or off? Still on!
Weekly Wisdom: This too shall pass!
Looking forward to: Early Thanksgiving with my family this weekend!

32 Weeks

Again....a little late on my post. Monday night, we noticed a huge puddle coming out of the fridge. We opened the freezer to a HUGE, melty mess. So sad. The wonderful life as homeowners! We lost our first appliance and had to buy a new one. EEK. Not to mention I had to deal with some drama at work that I definitely don't get paid enough to deal with. Oh well....my big ol' baby belly is a constant reminder of how blessed we really are. :)

How far along? 32 Weeks!

Symptoms? Very uncomfortable. Very TIRED. I feel like I could sleep all day. Round ligament pains and baby kicking pains.

Sleep: Sleeping well---just getting up quite a bit to potty!
Best moment this week: hmmmm. Any moment that was not at work. HA. This week was a stinky one. 
Worst moment: Refrigerator dying :(

Miss Anything? NOT being stressed out. This week has been crazy.

Movement: Baby dances all the time. I like to sit and feel him press against my hands. I also have enjoyed playing some of my favorite Disney tunes for him. This kiddo is being born into a Disney crazed family for sure!

Food cravings: Apples and peanut butter; bananas with Nutella. Yum-o! Also, hot spiced cider. MMMMM!
Gender prediction: Boy!

Labor Signs?  Nope

Belly Button in or out?  Still flat--I'm doubting it will pop!
Wedding rings on or off? I'm living dangerously and keeping them on. As long as I drink plenty of water, my fingers seem to stay slim enough!
Weekly Wisdom: You can't fix stupid.
Looking forward to: HOPEFULLY a less stressful work week. HOPEFULLY no more appliances dying in the house. HOPEFULLY some rest. Dear Lord, please! 

Also, my baby shower at work--yay! :)

Halloween Recap

Well, Halloween was wet, but not a complete wash out. We had trick-or-treaters, but not nearly as many as last year. We decided to order pizza and enjoy some movies on TV while we waited on the doorbell to ring. Also, earlier in the week, we painted a pumpkin for a contest, in which we did not place. Oh well. We just enjoyed having our Grumpy Cat masterpiece on our porch. Inside, we had our very own grumpy cat dressed as the devil....which she did not enjoy (as predicted). She kept her hood on for....ooooooh....maybe 5 mintues? If that? Oh well...she's so darn cute, I don't even care. 

And, as if on cue, a Christmas commercial is already playing. Good grief!

Painting Grumpy Pumpkin Cat

Grumpy Cat Completed!

Our Grumpy Cat!

Little Devil

Happy Halloween!

I love Halloween! 

I'm sad since this year it's looking rainy, so I hope we get some trick-or-treaters. (especially because I don't need to be eating all this candy!) One of my favorite past times is dressing the Elsa up for the holiday....which she might just hate. 

Oh well. I'm the mom. I win. She will be in costume! :)
