31 Weeks Pregnant with Baby Girl R

How far along? 31 weeks, this freaks me out, down to single digits in weeks.

How big is baby? The size of a Pineapple.

Sleep? Not good but still get about 6 hours so I shouldn't complain.

Best moment this week?  Well it hasn't happened yet but we are getting our Christmas tree so that will be my favorite thing this week.  I love decorating the tree.

Worst moment this week?  I had to take my car in to the shop to get fixed from where someone rear-ended me a few weeks ago.  Not horrible but annoying.

Movement? She is flipping all around as I type this :-)

Food cravings? Nothing really.

Gender? Girl

What I miss?  I'm feeling extremely pregnant this week.  I miss a flat tummy and wonder what the f my stomach is going to look like after I give birth...very scary!

What I am looking forward to?  My dr appointment on Wed and maternity photos this weekend.

Weekly wisdom? Don't eat too much, it will feel like your stomach is literally going to explode and will cause you pain the rest of the day. 

Milestones?  All five of her senses are in working order and her eyes now react to light.  Am I mean if I shine a flashlight on my belly?  (seems like fun, kind of like using the laser pointer for the cats)

30 Weeks Pregnant with Baby Girl R

How far along? 30 weeks, holy crap!  Only 10 more to go...

How big is baby? The size of a Cucumber.

Sleep? Well ladies and gentleman, I think the good nights sleep is over, I am so uncomfortable.  If I sleep on my right side, my shoulder has so much pain and if I sleep on my left my hips hurt so bad and get numb.

Best moment this week?  I had my VA baby shower, it was awesome.  My mom and sisters did a great job.  Thanksgiving was also amazing, I love to eat!

Worst moment this week?  Driving to VA with two cats.  One is an angel one turns into a crazy cat and screams the whole way.

Movement? I can see my belly move when she flips, it's the craziest thing.  She kicks me when I slouch too much, gotta have good posture.

Food cravings? Nothing other than Thanksgiving type food.

Gender? Girl

What I miss?  Balance.  I feel like whenever I try to put on my socks and balance on one foot, I almost fall.  Very comical.

What I am looking forward to?  Putting away and setting up all the wonderful baby gifts this little girl was gifted.

Weekly wisdom? Stop yelling at your husband, he loves you and doesn't mean to annoy the preggo beast.

Milestones? Baby girl is strong enough to grasp a finger.  (I can't wait to meet this little girl!)

29 Weeks Pregnant with Baby Girl R

How far along? 29 Weeks

How big is baby? The size of an Acorn Squash.

Sleep? Getting more and more uncomfortable.  Lots of aches and pains. 

Best moment this week?  Going to my doctor and hearing sweet baby girl's heartbeat (never gets old).  I also go to see one of the other doctors in the practice and he was awesome.  (I am meeting all the doctors in case one of them delivers this little girl instead of my doctor).

Worst moment this week?  None really, just stressing about all the money we are spending on the new house, but it's to be expected.

Movement? Mommy's little wiggle worm

Food cravings? Soft Pretzels with mustard.

Gender? Sweet baby girl, who will probably never have a name!

What I miss?  Rolling over in bed without waking up.  It's such a production!

What I am looking forward to?  Getting the nursery set up and my baby shower this weekend.  I can't wait to see my family.  Oh and also getting my hair highlighted and cut and a mani/pedi and wax, Momma needed it!

Weekly wisdom? Pamper yourself now because free time is coming to an end.

Milestones? Baby girl is getting chubbier by the day.

I look gross in this picture but had to document!

Sleep? Not good but not horrible either. 

Best moment this week?  Settling into our new home and voting.

Movement? Girlfriend loves moving and shaking.

Food cravings? Apples and Grapefruit.

Gender? Girl

What I miss?  Staying up late and not feeling SO full every time I eat something.

What I am looking forward to?  My Virginia Baby shower that my mom and sisters are throwing me in two weeks and Thanksgiving with my family.

Weekly wisdom? Stop Stressing about every thing, you have a great life and everything will work out. 

Milestones? Baby girl's lungs are mature enough that she would probably survive if she was born now.  (YAY!)

27 Weeks Pregnant with Baby Girl R

How far along? 27 weeks

How big is baby? The size of a Rutabaga.

Sleep? It was just ok this week.  We moved into our new home and immediately had a hurricane so sleep has been a little off. 

Best moment this week?  We are officially in our new home.  It feels fabulous, except all the boxes glaring at me, giving me anxiety.  I had a Dr appointment this week and little lady is measuring right on track and her heartbeat was perfect.  I on the other hand have gained 25lbs this pregnancy...that is more than I wanted at this point.  I really need to watch what I am eating and lay off the carbs.  I also went to the dentist and had my teeth cleaned which I always love.

Worst moment this week?  Hurricane Sandy came through and caused a ton of damage to the surrounding areas, luckily our home was not damaged at all.  I am so thankful we moved out of NYC before this storm because we lived downtown in Battery Park, it would have been a mess.

Movement? Oh yes, she loves to move, wiggle and kick.

Food cravings? Halloween Candy...bad for the weight gain.

Gender? Girl

What I miss?  I'm feeling really pregnant this week.  Like it's hard to bend down to zip up my boots or put on my socks, so I guess I miss not feeling SO pregnant.

What I am looking forward to?  I can't wait to have everything unpacked and put away and start working on the nursery.  We painted it a light gray with white trim, the furniture is white and we will have light pink accents. 

Weekly wisdom? Don't lift too much weight, and don't stand on your feet too long or your little toes will turn into sausages and your ankles will disappear.

Milestones? Baby girl is showing brain activity this week.
