28 Weeks Pregnant

How far along? 28 Weeks (completed 7/12/14)
First week of the 3rd Trimester... can you believe it!?

Shorts & Shirt: Motherhood Maternity

 Total weight gain: I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little afraid to admit my weight gain this week. 3lbs people, 3 L B S! That is a lot for one week. Can we just pretend it was all baby? Haha jk... she'd be huge if she gained that much in one week. Oh well, at least I ate well right ;)
So, I'm up a total of 25lbs.

Maternity/baby clothes: Boring... nothing new again this week.

Stretch marks? I was right, unfortunately. I've started getting the marks on my tummy. Though I have to admit, it took them longer to show up there than I expected, so there is my silver lining.

Sleep: Average. Nothing great, nothing terrible. I'll take it!

Best moment this week: Three great days this week! First, our doctor's appointment on Monday. They finally got a good shot of baby's face, and all is good. However, now we don't get another ultra sound for far too long. She should've hid just one more time!

Second, was Johns actual birthday! It landed in the middle of the week so we didn't do much, but it was fun to celebrate with him. In the morning I snuck into his office while he was out and decorated it just a little and left a card and some treats. Then that night I took him out to Rodizio Grill. We were sooo stuffed after (maybe that's where the 3lbs came from! haha) that we just went home after and hung out. We were both feeling the food coma.

Happy Birthday Babe!

Lastly, was Johns surprise birthday dinner on Saturday night, followed by a previously planned (non-birthday related) bonfire. Unfortunately, I forgot to get a picture of everyone that came for his bday dinner. But thanks to all that were there! He loved it! I had to be sneaky that whole day to make sure we were in the area and ready to eat at the right time. I convinced him to wait, because he was starving, and then I chose where to go. But by that time he was hungry enough that he didn't really care where we went I think. Anyhow, we showed up to Chilis and the host asked how many, John replied with 2 and I interrupted with 10. He was so confused, surprised, and happy! Our friends came very shortly after and joined us for the fun.

After dinner, we headed out to 5 Mile Pass to have a bonfire.

John & my brother Alexander getting the wood ready for a fire.

Before the flames ensued...

The fire ablaze!

 While the boys were getting the fire going, the girls were doing what we do best... taking pictures and having fun of course!

Eventually we all got around to actually sitting somewhat near the fire... it was too hot to be too close.

I didn't get John a cake on his actual birthday, because I figured it'd be more fun to celebrate with company. So I made a cake for the bonfire. We sang and made him blow out the candles. I know, my cake decorating skills are pro! Haha, jk... I just didn't go all out since I knew I'd have to frost it while we were out there and what not. Couldn't have the frosting and stuff melting in the heat before it was time to sing.

 

What did you wish for John!?

Happy 32nd Birthday to this guy!

Now... back to the pregnancy stuff ;)

Miss anything? Honestly? I miss feeling confident and attractive. I mean, I wasn't always the most confident person before anyway, but now... Eek! I feel bad, I should be more confident for the hubby, but it's hard when your body has changed so much! It'll be an ongoing battle during the pregnancy I'm sure.

Movement: Yes indeed! That little girl loves to move. I saw the most prominent movement later in the week. It looked as if she just took an elbow and pushed really hard and dragged it across my tummy. Wish I could've caught it on camera!

Food cravings: Nadda

Anything making you queasy or sick? Not this week!

Gender: Girl!

Symptoms: Nothing new this week. Just the usual's: congestion, acid reflux (this is getting bad, it is now waking me up from a dead sleep and I have to sit up quick so I don't throw up... yum :P), dry skin, leg cramps, swollen feet/ankles, etc.
 

Belly button in or out? Still in!

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or moody most of the time? Happy! It was such a good week.

 
Looking forward to: The last few weeks of working by myself in my office. I will start training the new girl in just a few weeks. Can't believe it's getting so close!

BONUS: For your viewing pleasure... a photo comparison of where I was 3 years ago vs today. Why you ask? Because Ashley couldn't help but make me take this picture. Yes, we are that silly still :)

So you can only imagine what she can do with her real camera. Yes, she is a photographer, and yes, she is awesome! Check her out here: http://ashleyelizaphotography.blogspot.com/

All photos (except the Rodizio selfie) were taken by her this week. Thanks Ash for always being on photo duty. You're the best!

27 Weeks Pregnant

How far along? 27 Weeks (completed 7/5/14)

Shorts: Motherhood Maternity   Shirt: Ross (Maternity Section)
I know, I look way bigger this week, right? Well, side note, I had just eaten a huge dinner. I was so over indulged during this picture, it may have added an inch or two. Or... maybe I really was just that much bigger this week? It felt more like an overstuffed belly to me though!

 Total weight gain: Held steady this week at the same weight, so I'm still up 22lbs total.

Maternity/baby clothes: Nothing new this week. I need to start getting my registry put together though. However, I just have no idea what to put on it! Time to do some research.

Stretch marks? Nothing new officially, however it does look like I might be getting them on my tummy really soon.

Sleep: Not too bad this week. Some uncomfortable nights, but I think I slept better this week for sure. Well, I did at least until the weekend. We were up at the cabin over the weekend and the beds aren't the most comfortable thing compared to ours. I just love memory foam too much :)

Best moment this week: The long 4th of July weekend!

We left on Thursday to head up to Park City for fireworks (Yes, they had them on the 3rd instead of the 4th... weird). Then we stayed the rest of the weekend at Johns family cabin. Just the two of us! It was a lot of fun.

Our cat didn't want us to leave for the long weekend. She crawled into Johns bag while we were packing and refused to get out. Isn't she the cutest?

We went for a little walk to kill time before the fireworks started. The sunset was beautiful, and the mountains... always majestic. I love Utah!

A view from the deck on the cabin. We love morning chats on the deck :)

We mostly just relaxed at the cabin this weekend, so I took almost no pictures. It would've been a lot of pictures of us in our pajamas taking naps, playing games, and watching movies, however, we did take a couple of walks too so we could enjoy the fresh mountain air.

Miss anything? Can't think of much that I missed this week.

Movement: Yes! She was consistently moving around this week. The best day though was over the weekend at the cabin she was going crazy and making some really huge movements. We just watched my belly move around and you could tell she was moving from one side to another, it looked like waves going across my tummy. So cute! John absolutely loved it.

Food cravings: Nothing

Anything making you queasy or sick? Not this week!

Gender: Girl!

Symptoms: No rib pain this week! So that was nice, but all the usual's stuck around: congestion (minimal at this point), acid reflux, dry skin (this one is getting worse), leg cramps, swollen feet/ankles, etc.

Belly button in or out? In. I think it is getting a little more shallow now though. Could pop any day, but lets hope it doesn't.

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or moody most of the time? Mostly happy again, but maybe a bit of hormones creeping in there.

 
Looking forward to: Our next baby appointment which is next week! We get to do another ultrasound :)

26 Weeks Pregnant

How far along? 26 Weeks (completed 6/28/14)

 

Jeans: Motherhood Maternity   Shirt: Motherhood Maternity
Kissa decided to make an appearance in my photos again this week. Okay, so by decided I mean she walked past and I picked her up. She loves me ;) haha

 Total weight gain: Up another 2lbs this week, so that brings me to a total of 22lbs gained.

Maternity/baby clothes: No new clothes, but we did make a baby purchase this week! Check it out:

Purchased from Babys R Us

This is the one item we will be purchasing really before any baby showers. Simply because we would never expect anyone to spend that kind of money on us. Also, we got it this month because we got 4x the rewards points from our bank on all purchases for June. What can I say, we love rewards! Deciding on a car seat and stroller was not an easy choice. As a new parent, you really don't know what you're going to like or need. Also, you can get advice from everyone and anyone, but it will of course all be different. Everyone has different preferences, so we just went with what we hope will be best for our family. We'll find out if we made the right choice when baby makes her grand entrance.

Stretch marks? Nothing new this week.

Sleep: A solid mix of complete and udder uncomfortableness with nights of pure comfort. So I guess it wasn't all bad this week. I really enjoyed the nights that I actually got some sleep (aside from waking up to use the bathroom a million times). I think I slept through my husbands alarm most mornings. Hoping the sleep gets even better next week.

Best moment this week: All her moving around! More on that in a minute...

Miss anything? Just being able to move around easier. I honestly can't even imagine how much worse it's going to get over the next 3 months. How do women do this!? My belly is so big already!

Movement: YES!! Thank goodnes! After all the worrying from last week, it was so so great to have her move so much this week. I loved every kick and roll. It really just puts a smile on my face when I know she's being active. She was kicking and/or poking me in the weirdest places this week too. First, she was really high up compared to normal. Then she was way way far off to my right side, those movements were the weirdest feeling. She is rarely over to my left as of right now. It is getting a lot more noticeable what kind of movements she is making now too. I mean, I can't tell if it's a hand or a foot yet, but I can definitely tell a difference between kicks/punches and rolls or general body movements. John felt her a lot this Saturday night too. We were watching a movie with some friends and she was just going crazy! It was the best :)

Food cravings: Nadda

Anything making you queasy or sick? Not this week!

Gender: Girl!

Just had to throw in this funny picture of our cat. I was in the nursery reading, and I kept hearing noises coming from the giant stack of baby things that we have (a lot of which was free from my brother and sister-in-law, thank you!). Anyway, so I go over to find out what our sneaky little kitty is doing, and I just see this head popping out from the middle of it all. She kills me, just too cute and silly.

Labor signs: None

Symptoms: Let's start this off with some new ones for the week shall we? First, can we talk about rib pain? Because O M G! Remember how I told you she was a lot higher up than usual? Yeah, that = rib pain, and a lot of it. On Tuesday I woke up and literally thought I had somehow bruised a rib while sleeping. It hurt so bad, I couldn't breath without it increasing the pain level. Not a fun day, not a fun day at all. So that continued on til Thursday, mixed in with a lot more back pain as well. Also, swollen feet... and ankles... and legs. I'm not fond of the swelling, but I guess that just comes along with the fact that it's summer and sweltering hot outside. Thankfully however, my hands only swell here and there. I've been successful at getting my ring on and off everyday, but that might be because I keep our A/C on so high at home. My husband says he lives in a refrigerator. Okay, last new (and kind of old) symptom, it's been a few months but my sciatic nerve pain is coming back, so that's, you know... awesome. And on to the typical symptoms that are sticking around: congestion, acid reflux, dry skin, leg cramps, etc.

Belly button in or out? In (I'm still surprised and happy about this!)

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or moody most of the time? Mostly happy? Haha, I definitely had my moody/irritable days. Especially with the rib pain this week. That first day was just a bad day.

 
Looking forward to: Picking out paint colors for the nursery! I keep going back and forth on ideas, but hopefully we can narrow it down this next week when we have a little extra time. Also, the 4th of July! Should be much better this year, whereas last year I was sick and in bed at 8pm. I'm excited to see some fireworks! :)

25 Weeks Pregnant

How far along? 25 Weeks (completed 6/21/14)

Shirt: Motherhood Maternity   Shorts: Motherhood Maternity   Sandals: DSW

 
 Total weight gain: Oh man, are you ready for this? I gained a LOT this week! YIKES! I'm up a total of 20lbs... just a little ahead of the 'recommended' weight gain according to the books. But hey, those pounds were delicious, haha ;)

Maternity/baby clothes: Nothing new

Stretch marks? Looks like I've gotten just a couple more on my sides. No fun, but what are you gonna do right? They're genetic. I'm dealing with it.

Sleep: Terrible.... just terrible. I can't get comfortable. I've been waking up to use the restroom a lot again (I guess that's just what happens when baby gets bigger huh?). But the worst thing is that my hips are KILLING me! I wake up constantly, having to switch sides because my hip hurts so bad from the pressure (I'm assuming). I'll wake up and stretch it to try to relieve some of the pain, but it doesn't help much. The pain sticks around all day too. Sleeping this week just hasn't been my cup of tea.

Best moment this week: Our 1 year anniversary! I cannot believe it has been a year since we got married. Time just flies by, and now we're going to be having a baby in just over 3 months. Life is insane. But a good insane. I'm loving it!
We didn't do much to celebrate since we are saving up for baby, but we spent a really great day together. And really, what else do you need to have a good time, other than your spouse? It's not about how much you spend or what you do, but about the company you're with. My company couldn't have been any better. Mushy, I know, but I just love my husband and am so grateful for his love and all his hard work (always), but especially lately putting in 65-70 hour work weeks.
So for our anniversary, we got up and had breakfast at Kneaders, because quite frankly we're obsessed with their french toast! Then we came home, did some cleaning that we didn't have time for earlier that week so the house would be clean to come home to that night. Then we may, or may not have taken a nap... okay, so we did. Haha what can I say, we were both tired! After our lovely nap, we got ready, grabbed some shakes, and headed out to the Utah Valley Parade of Homes.

To the first home of the day.

We spent a lot of time in the car, lots of chatting about the future, and thinking back to our wedding day.

Mmmm.... shakes! And being silly of course, which is what we do.

After our long day of driving and walking through some really beautiful, and some not so beautiful homes, we headed off to dinner. We went back to where we had our first date (and the chips and salsa/queso we were craving)... Chilis. Classy, I know ;)
It was delicious! We headed home after filling up on some really delicious food and played some card games, we LOVE card games. I can't remember who won, we were both pretty out of it at this point. Then the rest of the night we just relaxed and enjoyed each others company. Great day, great night, great first year! Love you babe!

Miss anything? Being able to sleep comfortably.

Movement: Yes, however her movements decreased by a ton the beginning of this week. I hated it. She was so so calm. She would move maybe once or twice like every 5 hours, very very unlike her. I wish I could say it didn't scare me at all, but I'm already a worry wart, so of course, I worried. Luckily at the end of the week she perked up a bit. Not much, but was a little back to her normal active self, thank heavens.

Food cravings: No real cravings this week.

Anything making you queasy or sick? Not this week!

Gender: Girl!

Labor signs: None

Symptoms: Continued congestion, acid reflux, dry skin, leg cramps, blah blah blah. These get old don't they? I'll throw in some new ones. Not all bad either! I have noticed my appetite has increased, I'm back to eating like I did before I was pregnant. After the whole nausea of the first trimester my appetite just kind of stayed low for most of this trimester too. So glad it's back! I've noticed the last week or two also that my hair is getting thicker, and I lose less in the shower than I used to. It's always grown fast, so I haven't noticed an increase in its growth as far as length goes. Not so fun symptom is my back pain has increased quite a bit this week.

Belly button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or moody most of the time? Happy :)

 
Looking forward to: Our next appt! And our 2nd year of marriage :)

24 Weeks Pregnant

How far along? 24 Weeks (completed 6/14/14)

Maternity Dress from Target. Cardigan... I seriously can't remember where I got it, it's been too long.

 

 Total weight gain: I was down 1lb all week. So, total gained thus far is 17lbs.

Maternity/baby clothes: Nothing new.

Stretch marks? Sticking with what I've got so far. I didn't notice any new ones this week.

Sleep: Not bad, not great. Tons of really really weird dreams this week though. Seriously, so strange.

Best moment this week: Going to Hogle Zoo with my hubby on Saturday. It was fun to get out of the house, though we were completely exhausted by the time we got home. We both took really long naps. We're old! Haha! Best part of the zoo (and I think my husband would agree), just might have been lunch. I mean seriously, it was soooo good! Just a burger and fries, but incredibly tasty.

Best burger and fries I've had in... well, I don't even know how long because they may have been the best ones I've ever had. Good job Hogle Zoo!

Nom Nom Nom!

Second best part of the zoo? The bears of course! Not just because they are my favorite animal, but because they were actually awake and doing things. They were chasing each other around, fighting, and just playing in general. Kind of looked like a lovers quarrel too between the 1 male and 2 females.

On the run!

Miss anything? Not missing much this week. Life and pregnancy is good :)

Movement: Yes! She just gets stronger and stronger by the week (thank goodness!). Also, she will now sometimes react back to me when I push on my belly in places. It's just the cutest getting to interact with her in some small way! Melts my heart already <3

Food cravings: A doughnut! We were at the zoo and I saw someone walking around with a doughnut, after that... I just HAD to have one. And seriously, it was like the best one ever. I don't know what the zoo does to make their food so tasty, but if you're there you should try their doughnuts for sure! Okay, so maybe this wasn't a real pregnancy craving, but this section is always so boring.

Anything making you queasy or sick? Not this week!

Gender: Girl!

Labor signs: None

Symptoms: Continued congestion and acid reflux per usual. Still been getting some occasional cramps/contractions. Extremely dry skin... note: black clothes and dry skin do not mix. Also, due to me trying to prevent leg cramps, my ankles are killing me. Weird right? Well let me explain. When I wake up I always have slight leg cramps, and I know that if I stretch my legs out and point my toes as usual when I wake up, it will make them about a million times worse. So instead of pointing my toes, I flex my feet hard for a while til the cramp goes away. Due to all this flexing, and not stretching, it is oddly starting to hurt my ankles. I don't know what's worse, the ankle pain or leg cramps.

Belly button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or moody most of the time? Mostly happy, slight moodiness after my nap on Saturday, but that is pretty typical of me after taking naps anyway.

 
Looking forward to: Our 1 year anniversary! It's next week, and though we aren't planning on doing much since we are saving for baby, I am still very excited! What a great milestone :)

23 Weeks Pregnant

How far along? 23 Weeks (completed 6/7/14)

T-Shirt: Target (Maternity Section) and Skirt: Non-Maternity from Target. Gotta love comfy maxi's!

Total weight gain: Finally got a chance to weigh in... and it was a little depressing, haha but it is what it is right? I'm up a total of 18 lbs so far. Eek!

Maternity/baby clothes: Nothing new in this section.

Stretch marks? Thankfully nothing more than what I've previously mentioned, and I'm REALLY hoping it stays that way. Though I know it's highly unlikely.

Sleep: Not so great this week. Not so great at all. I tossed and turned a LOT! I just could not get comfortable, with or without the body pillow. Sleep was definitely a struggle. Let's hope next week is a little better!

Best moment this week: Our doctor's appointment! Got to see our little girl again, and that is always a joy! :)
She is looking healthy still, but they again weren't able to get everything they needed. So bummer (NOT!) we have to get another ultrasound at our next appt. Super excited! She has flipped, so she isn't breech anymore... as of right now. But who knows come next time. They were unable to see her little lips though to rule out a cleft lip. Hopefully she'll let us sneak a peak in 4 weeks.


Miss anything? It has been getting harder to get up from sitting and/or laying positions. So I'm missing being able to just get right up when I need to. I make so many funny noises trying to get up now, it's got to be amusing to those around me. It's not so bad when I'm in a hard chair like at work or church or something, but when it comes to soft things like couches and beds... it's a problem. Haha!

Movement: Yes! Lots, and John has been able to feel more movement lately too. Instead of just one big kick every once in a while, he'll feel a couple in a row or just more of her movements in general. I love being able to share that with him. Also, she is big enough now that I can actually see some of her big movements when I look at my belly. It's so fun... and weird. I don't think it'll ever not be a little weird.
Oh and also, my adorable little kitty Kissa (Kees-a) loves to lay on my belly when we are watching tv. She always has, ever since she was just a tiny little kitten. But I don't think the baby likes her laying there anymore. Everytime Kissa lay's on my belly, baby kicks hard and repeatedly. It's so funny because I know Kissa can feel it now. It irritates her so she always jumps off and cuddles with John instead. I'm sad that I won't get to cuddle with her much longer, but it's fun to see this tiny bit of interaction between the two.

Kissa laying on my growing belly. Love her and her cuddles :)

Food cravings: Nothing still

Anything making you queasy or sick? Not this week!

Gender: Girl!

Labor signs: None

Symptoms: Some continued congestion and acid reflux per usual. I've got a feeling those will be sticking around til the end. Also I've still been getting cramps/contractions. But nothing to be worried about. They don't happen often enough to be of any concern as our doctor told us. He did give us more info on all that though in case things change. Another thing I've had ongoing for pretty much the whole pregnancy that I think I've mentioned previously, I just haven't listed it every week is my dry skin. It's just terrible. Always super super dry. Thank heavens for lotion! I hate dry skin. Other than that, I've been feeling pretty good. I am so grateful for the second trimester and the ease that it brings compared to the first!

Belly button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or moody most of the time? Might have been a little (okay, a lot) moody at the end of this week. Hormones much? Sorry to my hubby for taking the brunt of it. I think I jinxed myself by recently telling someone that I have been less hormonal pregnant than I was prior to pregnancy. Oops!

 
Looking forward to: Having absolutely no plans next week! Sometimes it's just nice to not have to worry about anything taking up your weeknights. I plan to actually cook, get some cleaning done, and a whole lot of relaxing. It will be great!

22 Weeks Pregnant

How far along? 22 Weeks (completed 5/31/14)

Total weight gain: I was out of town again for this week's weigh in... so who knows! I can't even remember the last time I got on the scale. It's been a busy couple of weeks. But I'll be sure to weigh in next week since we have nothing going on over my usual weigh in day.

Maternity/baby clothes: No new clothes for me. Really there probably won't be any new ones for a while, if at all. So I'm changing this category to be Maternity/Baby Clothes... because well, I want to show off the cute things I've been receiving and the few I've purchased. 
In this weeks pictures I am wearing maternity capris from Macy's and that's it for maternity wear. The shirt is just a plain t-shirt from Target.

 
Now, check out the cute things we've received from Grandma Dudley so far! I know she's bought more, but I haven't seen it yet.

All the clothes are from Carters and Osh Kosh. I'm not sure where she got the nursing pillow, swaddles, or leggings from.

These are items I've bought so far for our little girl.

The two really bright ones were bought a couple months apart. Forgot I had bright stuff already, but apparently I really like that bright coral color.
The 'Sweet Like Grandma' outfit is from Macys. And the other two are from Carters.

Stretch marks? Unfortunately, I do have something to report in this section this week. First I noticed just a couple new ones on my sides. They are small now, but who knows how much they'll spread. And remember the new ones on my legs from last week? Yeah, those are for sure stretch marks, and there are a ton of them! When I realized how bad they were, I almost started crying... literally. Even just thinking about them right now makes me want to burst into tears. I have been having a really hard time with all the body changes that have been going on lately. I just can't look in a mirror for a while. It's depressing. However, I know every stretch mark and change that my body makes will be totally worth it the first moment I meet our little girl.

Sleep: Pretty good this week really. I can't complain :)

Best moment this week: So many good moments this week!

First: A huge thanks and shout out to these lovely ladies that threw me a surprise baby shower during our last dance class this week.
 

They are the sweetest! I had so much fun dancing with them the past 8-ish months, can't wait to start up again next year! They all pitched in and got me some really fun and cute stuff. Wish I would've taken pictures of the cute balloons, cupcakes, etc from the party, but I didn't even think to. Here are the gifts I received.

The onsie says "Mommy's little dancer" on it... too cute! And one of the girls made that adorable pink blanket. Thanks again ladies!!

Second: My new glider! AHHH! Seriously, as soon as it was out of the box and my hubby was carrying it to the nursery I was literally jumping up and down with excitement! I told him it felt like Christmas. It is sooo comfy and I just love the material and colors we picked out! <3
 

I love love love it!

Third, and lastly: Our little weekend getaway with some of our good friends to St George. We took no pictures the entire time... because I was either too lazy or relaxed. I'm gonna go with relaxed to make myself feel better. But it was really just so fun. We stayed in a friends family condo, went swimming, ate good food, played a lot of games (actually, played a lot of one game), stayed up late, and laughed til we cried. Just a blast! And the best part was that it was pretty much free for us! John had to work in Cedar City on the way back, so his boss covered expenses for him. Always nice to save some money when you're getting ready for a baby.



Miss anything? Hmmm... I don't think that I am missing anything right now. Feeling pretty good!

Movement: Yes! And they are getting bigger! On Thursday night we were in St George playing some cards, and she kicked me so hard I literally jumped, it scared me. Knowing how strong she is right now freaks me out for movements in the future. I have a feeling they are going to hurt. She's so strong! Also, I have figured out how to get her to move if she hasn't for a long time and I start to worry. All I have to do is lean forward. She will always start kicking if I lean forward.

Food cravings: Nadda

Anything making you queasy or sick? A little queasiness from driving again, but not nearly as bad and it was mostly because the road was just so bumpy.

Gender: Girl!

Labor signs: None

Symptoms: Some continued congestion and acid reflux. Been getting cramps more frequently too. The funniest symptom this week was from the heat in St George and the drive down there I think, my feet were SO swollen! Actually, it wasn't even just my feet... my feet, ankles, and legs up to my knees were extremely swollen. I could not get over it. It was funny and depressing all at the same time. Like I'm not kidding, my feet were HUGE! See for yourself.

Note: My right foot is swollen in this picture as well, but my left foot takes the cake. It's HUGE! Oh the joys of pregnancy ;)

Also, one morning I woke up and got the worst leg cramps I've ever had. I sat up really fast just saying "Ow, ow, ow..." over and over, John shot up out of bed not knowing exactly what I was in pain from (seriously, I've never seen him move so quick!) and rushed over to my side. I told him it was leg cramps and he helped me stretch them out. Best husband award! I am really not looking forward to those if they continue. Man they HURT!

Belly button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or moody most of the time? Happy! :)

 
Looking forward to: Our next appt! It's next week... YAY!
