Sleep: I ditched the pregnancy pillow and have been sleeping SOOO much better!

Gender: Girl :)  

Symptoms: The need to pee ALL the time is still happening ...

Milestones: 35 weeks down and 35 days to go! 

Movement: Lots of movement felt in the evenings and mornings.

Best moment of the week:  Being able to be lazy with Spring Break - nothing beats slow mornings, lazy afternoons, and late nights :) 

Looking forward to: The rest of Spring Break ... soaking up the last of these lazy days as a family of two {plus our pup}.  And, our appointment for April 5 where we'll get to see baby girl again and find out how big she currently is! 

Extra Notes: This past weekend we headed down to Hastings for the hubs first bike race.  The car ride was NOT fun ... I was not feeling well that day and could not for the life of me get comfortable.  My hips killed and I kept thinking what a mistake it was to get into a car for a 2 hour ride.  At one point I thought to myself the honeymoon of this pregnancy is over and the next 6 weeks {give or take} will officially suck!  Thankfully, after taking a Tylenol the pain subsided.   

I also started having some braxton hicks contractions this past week - while it freaked the hubs out a little, I assured him all was okay :) 

From the mouth of Kinders - this week I go, "Mrs. Webb, you're stomach is hard like a bouncy ball."  :) 

Bump: 34 Weeks ...

Sleep: The last couple nights have been rough - getting up a lot to go to the bathroom and just not able to get comfortable. 

Food Cravings: Cereal and sweets.

Food Aversions: Meat - tried to eat tacos the other night, that didn't go so swell!

Gender: Girl :)  {although all the dreams I've had about baby - it's been a boy!}

Symptoms: Still peeing ALL the time! And the tiredness, I need a nap after work almost daily. 

Milestones: None that I know of.

Movement: Lots of movement felt in the evenings and mornings.

Best moment of the week:  Baby shower in TC this last weekend - it was so nice to see so many women from different stages in my life come together.  Great to catch up and see some that I haven't seen in years! 

Looking forward to: Spring break!  A week of NOTHING - two more days ... we can do it! 

Extra Notes: I had my tetanus and pertussis shot on Monday at my appointment - oh man it wiped me out! Yesterday I felt light headed and just sore all over and I'm still not feeling 100%.  Hoping I'm back to my normal self soon! 

At school yesterday the kids could pick up that I wasn't feeling well {they had a little extra freedom} and one of the girls came up to me and asked what was wrong.  I told her that I just didn't feel good and had a little upset tummy, she started to just rub my back - it was the sweetest thing ever. 

Bump: 33 Weeks ...

How Far Along: 33 Weeks

Total Weight Gain: 41 pounds

Size of Baby: Cauliflower - She is between 17-19 inches long and 4-6 pounds! 

Maternity Clothes: Mix of maternity and Lularoe still

Sleep: Sleep has been good again lately, and I haven't had to get up and pee which is an extra bonus!  

Food Cravings: Sweets! This weekend I really wanted dump-it cake, so when grocery shopping I got the ingredients.  The hubs was working at school when I made it, he came home and saw a pan on the stove and asked what I made for dinner. "Ummm ... its a cake, I wanted cake." haha! :)

Food Aversions: None really.

Gender: Girl :) 

Symptoms: Peeing ALL the time! I'm always desperately searching for someone to come in my room so I can quickly run to the bathroom - pretty sure I know when every person around me has prep so I can pull them in for a second to make a run for it!  The heart burn has picked up again too!

Milestones: None that I know of.

Movement: Lots of movement felt in the evenings!

Best moment of the week:  While the hubs was out of town Otis was super cuddly with me {he's been a Daddy's boy lately} so that was nice.  He was using baby girl as a pillow and even got kicked a couple times ;) 

Looking forward to: Baby shower this weekend up in TC.  I can't wait to see friends and family! 

Extra Notes:  It's hard for me to get comfortable - sitting is NOT comfortable which make it rough getting through the work day and meetings.  And when laying down, my legs will ache and I'm constantly moving then to try and get comfortable. I'd much rather be standing up but I'm just too tired to stand up 24/7 ;)

My brother and SIL gave us their infant car seat {along with two bases and a stroller it can snap into - they're AWESOME!} and D picked it up this week while downstate for a conference.  Of course as soon as it got here I had to wash the padding {OCD much?!} and then Otis tried it out :)

My kinders have been GREAT throughout this pregnancy.  I've hit the stage where it's hard to bend down to pick up things.  They have definitely picked up on that, so if I drop anything there are 5 kiddos running to pick it up for me.  Also, they have learned that in order for me to tie their shoes we need to find a chair for me to sit in while they kick their foot up on my leg or they lay on the floor and kick their foot up.  It's pretty hilarious! 

Bump: 32 Weeks ...

How Far Along: 32 Weeks

Total Weight Gain: 39.7 pounds

Size of Baby: Florida Pomelo

Maternity Clothes: Mix of maternity and Lularoe still

Sleep: I've been getting charlie horses and leg cramps during the night which makes sleep a bit rough, not fun! I was good with falling asleep after getting up to go to the bathroom too but that hasn't been happening as easily lately either. 

Food Cravings: Sweets!

Food Aversions: None really.

Gender: Girl :) 

Symptoms: By the end of the work day I'm super tired, just like during the first trimester.

Milestones: 

Movement: Lots of movement felt in the evenings!

Best moment of the week:  Seeing so many friends and family at the baby shower on Saturday.  I'll admit, I don't like being the center of attention so it was a bit overwhelming, but it was still so great to see everyone and Baby Girl got some amazing things. She's blessed for sure!

Looking forward to: Really looking forward to spring break which is quickly approaching.  A week to relax ---- ahhh!

Extra Notes:  We got the nursery pretty much ALL done this past weekend!  We were gifted the curtains and crib skirt at the shower that the hub's mom made so we go those put up.  We also got everything hung on the walls and found a GREAT deal on an area rug which is PERFECT for the space!  All that's left to do is spray paint a table and a basket - and there's one wall that the hubs says needs something hung so we'll figure that one out too :)

Bump: 31 Weeks ...

How Far Along: 31 Weeks

Total Weight Gain: 39.7 pounds

Size of Baby: Romaine Lettuce

Maternity Clothes: Mix of maternity and Lularoe still

Sleep: I'm currently on the struggle bus with this one.  I'm a tummy sleeper by nature which just isn't possible anymore - so I struggle to get comfortable and maintain sleeping.  I toss and turn a LOT!

Food Cravings: Lucky Charms and Ice Cream {not at the same time}

Food Aversions: None really.

Gender: Girl :) 

Symptoms: Continuing on the heartburn train ... tums are my BFF currently. Some pain up near my ribs when sitting up - needless to say the minute I get home I'm laying down on the couch. :)

Milestones: All five senses are fully developed!

Movement: She's moving a TON in the evening and sometimes even during the work day.  I love just looking at my tummy and seeing it move from her - something I'm sure I'll miss when she's on the outside! The other day I was sitting down reading with a group of students during centers, one of them blurts out, "Mrs. Webb, your tummy just moved!" I explained that it was the baby and it's okay - I begin to read once again with them and notice noone is saying anything, I look up and all four kiddos are starring at my stomach ;)

Best moment of the week:  A blanket arrived this week that I ordered with her first and middle name on it ... it makes it feel SO much more real when things start rolling in that are specifically JUST for her! 

Looking forward to: We have our first baby shower on Saturday! Super excited to see family and friends in the GR area!

Extra Notes:  We've started to buy some diapers - figure we're going to need them so why not start to slowly acquire them.  I had to give the hubs a little lesson in diapers at the store to ensure that if he's ever sent out on a diaper run he'll bring back the right ones ;)

Last night I had my first craving and REALLY wanted a paczki.  I asked the hubs {at around 9}if he'd go get one for me and he just rolled his eyes.  Well, his principal and our friend came to the rescue and brought me a box of 6.  He said a pregnant lady needs options :)  And I have to say, it tasted SO good!
