30 Weeks (July 19-25, 2012)

Baby's Size:  Cucumber (15.7" long and 2.9lbs)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: According to the doctor's scale 19lbs - I don't ever trust the doctor's scale though!

Starting to Show? Belly is getting bigger and bigger. I look like I have a dodge ball stuffed in there.
Belly Button: The part that was sticking out a bit is now a little bigger. As Larry said "Where did your belly button go??" haha
Sleep: Sleep was fine except while we were in New York. Going from a super comfy king sized bed at home to a really hard full sized bed was very difficult.
Movement? She has literally not stopped moving in days which is really cool to feel!
Food Cravings: Still Taco Bell chicken chalupas.
Queasy/Sick? Feeling good this week and the heartburn wasn't even there in New York which was fabulous!
Miss Anything? The last 2 weddings we went to in the last couple weeks were open bar so definitely drinking while at those. It's also really difficult to dance and have fun without getting completely exhausted.
Mood: Happy!
Best Moment of the Week: Mickey and Karen's wedding in New York was really fun. The reception venue was gorgeous, the DJ was fabulous (I even danced for a while), and the weather was perfect. It was really fun seeing everyone!
Looking Forward To: 


A couple good wedding photos (the bump is out in full force!)

29 Weeks (July 12-18, 2012)

Baby's Size:  Acorn Squash (15.2" long and 2.5lbs)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I'm up about 18lbs in total I think.
Starting to Show? My loose baggy non-maternity shirts are now tight which seemed to happen overnight! Ella is really growing in there.
Belly Button: The part that was sticking out a bit is now a little bigger.
Sleep: Having a rough time sleeping this week. When I get up to pee in the middle of the night it takes forever to fall back to sleep.
Movement? Still moving a ton, mainly when I'm sitting or laying down and relaxed or after a meal.
Food Cravings: We're back on Taco Bell this week except it's chicken chalupas this time instead of the cheesy gordita crunch.
Queasy/Sick? Feeling good this week other than the heartburn.
Miss Anything? I miss not knowing what heartburn even was.
Mood: Great mood, so happy and excited about my baby shower!
Best Moment of the Week: Definitely my baby shower! It was so great seeing everyone that I haven't seen in a while and Evan and I got so many awesome things off our registry!! So grateful to our amazing friends and family!!
Looking Forward To: Going through the things that we got from the shower and starting to set up and organize Ella's room. I also want to organize any other parts of the house that need organizing to make life easy after she gets here.


Here are a couple baby shower pictures and a link to the rest of them!

28 Weeks (July 5-11, 2012)

Baby's Size:  Eggplant (14.8" long and 2.2lbs)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I'm up about 18lbs in total I think.
Starting to Show? Yep, people are now commenting on how much my belly has grown.
Belly Button: Still almost flat and there is this one part that is starting to stick out a bit.
Sleep: Sleeping great, being off of work for 5 days is amazing!!
Movement? Still moving around a LOT. I was laying in bed the other night and she starting moving so much, I grabbed my camera and recorded it and it looked like she was trying to break out!!

Food Cravings: Being on vacation we grilled out a lot so that was all great, and ice cream of course!
Queasy/Sick? I feel good this week.
Miss Anything? Not really
Mood: Super good mood, it's amazing what 5 day off of work will do! Very happy!
Best Moment of the Week: The whole week was great. We got things done around the house, lounged around in the backyard and in the kiddie pool, visited with my uncle and Chuck as well as the Borucki's and went to Dmitry & Tina's wedding which was fun! And the weather was fabulously hot and sunny!
Looking Forward To: The baby shower and setting up Ella's room!

We got Ella's dresser/changing table and night table this week!! Her room is starting to come together!!

27 Weeks (June 28 - July 4, 2012)

Baby's Size:  Rutabaga (14.4" long and 1.9lbs)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I'm up about 18lbs in total I think.
Starting to Show? Belly feels huge! Although everyone keeps saying how tiny I still am, I feel huge!
Belly Button: Still almost flat
Sleep: Sleeping much better this week.
Movement? Still moving around a ton in there.
Food Cravings: Nothing in particular this week, still loving ice cream.
Queasy/Sick? I feel good this week.
Miss Anything? Moving without much effort, not feeling achy and tired all the time, and not having heartburn which I have never ever had before getting pregnant.
Mood: Pretty good this week, happy and excited for it all!
Best Moment of the Week: Jen coming over and helping me paint Ella's room! We got 3 of the 4 walls done before running out of paint (and energy!) Now just need to add the stripe!
Looking Forward To: Seeing everyone at my baby shower!

I had my 28 week doctor's appointment on Tuesday and now I start going every 2 weeks (it seemed like it was forever away and now we're here!). I had the glucose test and the stuff I had to drink was actually not that bad thankfully! The appointment was very rushed so that I could get down to have my blood taken exactly one hour after drinking the juice. They listened to her heartbeat and that sounded great.
