3 Trimesters

3 trimesters complete :) (almost)

More Updates

Ultrasound on Wednesday, she was measuring 5 lbs 6 oz :) and has been gaining an ounce a day since the beginning of January, only 4 more weeks (at most) till we get to see her in real life! Baby shower on Saturday, it was wonderful!
35 weeks along on Saturday (or 36 if you ask me but that's neither here nor there I suppose)
Updates in her nursery again, now the dresser is all done and her baskets are filled on the shelf!
Goal this week, to get my 3rd Physical Science midterm done and to finish setting up the nursery!

Crib

Yay after a long long wait for this crib we finally picked it up today and Dan put the whole thing together. One step closer to things getting done!
And I actually did my hair and make up so wanted to put in a "better looking" belly photo for 32 weeks!

31 weeks

I was 31 weeks on Sunday and have only 8 more weeks to go (as of yesterday)!

She finally kicked Dan!

Sunday was my mom's birthday and also the day Dan finally felt Ava kick! I have been feeling her kick my hand for a few weeks now every so often but she has gotten a lot stronger in the past week! Not to mention at 11:45pm on Saturday I talked Dan into taking me to Wendy's because I really really wanted a burger... bad I know.

So she was going nuts after Wendy's so I went and got Dan (he was watching a movie at midnight) and told him to come try and see if she would kick him. Normally when he tries she stops kicking and moving. I was happy that within a minute or so of laying there and drinking some ice water she kicked him 3 times in a row and he felt it!

I have less than 13 weeks to go now. I feel like I am in my 3rd trimester since my pregnancy will only be 39 weeks and that divides down quite nicely into 3 sets, but technically it doesn't start till Sunday once I hit 27 weeks. I have been feeling really good and haven't been sick since Thanksgiving weekend!

Just for fun... how my belly has changed by the end of each trimester so far! I can't wait to add the 39 week picture at the end of this!

25 Weeks

I had Dan take this picture tonight. When he showed it to me on the camera I had a little freak out and told him to take another one because there was no way my stomach had gotten that big... he looked at me like "another picture is going to change it?" He humored me and I indeed have a belly this big.

Its okay, I don't know why it surprises me cause I definitely feel it when I am lying down, walking around, sitting... pretty much all the time. Glad we have made it to 25 weeks! We officially have 99 days till delivery day as long as everything goes as planned and she doesn't decide to come earlier. I am praying that we make it to March 15th!

20 Weeks

So happy to be at the half way point! Its getting really hard to get out of low chairs and couches and cars. As of my last OB visit on Thursday I am up 4 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight. I lost weight during my first trimester so I feel like I am up a lot more than 4 but that's what they count.

I still am experiencing morning sickness but I have to remind myself it is better than it was a month ago and a month ago was better than the month before! I can't believe we are already at the start of November! I have a lot of things I need to get done and out of the way quick!

Happy 6 Month Birthday to Tiny

18 1/2 pounds and happy all the time! I cannot believe he has tripled in weight since we got him 4 months ago! Go Buddy!
I had to add Tiny and I's most recent picture! 18 1/2 pounds of pug is getting harder to pick up now that I have a much larger belly!

My ever changing belly....

I may regret posting these pictures... but I can no longer deny that my stomach is getting bigger. These pictures are not the most attractive of me, it would help if I put make up on and did my hair but can't ask too much of me right now. I just found this picture in the blue sweater today and was shocked at how much my stomach has changed since May! Oh boy...

I am starting to feel a bit better, although I still feel sick most of the time. I had it set in my mind that I would be feeling all better by Dan's birthday on Friday because that was my 14 (or 15 week mark depending on which due date you go by)... but I was so wrong, Dan's birthday was one of my worst days so far, but I am hoping I keep improving from here on out!
