Everything is Coming Together..


     We caved and bought my favorite Chevron bed set I found at Kangaroo Pouch... Oh and check out this sweet little face!! He's growing up so fast. April can't come soon enough. 



How Far Along- 33 weeks
How Big is the Baby17 inches  
Total weight gain/loss- 35 lbs
Stretch marks- I want to cry when I answer this.. Yes :( some really little ones on my boobs and a few faint ones on my left hip. Hopefully damage is DONE. Bathing in cocoa butter every night I thought would help. 
Maternity Clothes- Living in sweats at home. It's the only thing I'm comfortable in. One good pair of maternity pants for when I venture out. 
Favorite moment this week- We took my parents and Keith's to Prenatal peak in Murrells Inlet. We got to see Kash's  sweet face. He finally looks like a baby now and not an alien with chubby checks. It was heartwarming for everyone. 
Miss Anything- Curling my legs up on the couch. Actually, crossing my legs period is a challenge now. This belly is starting to get in the way. 
Movement: Still a lot! We found out at my appointment today that Kash is still breech. If he decides to turn it will be painful at this point. I'm hoping to have a normal delivery but if it ends in a csection I just hope things are smooth and he is healthy. The pressure on my ribs have been his head not his feet! 
 
Food cravings- I'm still stuck on mint chocolate chip ice cream.
Anything making you queasy or sick- Not necessarily sick or queasy, but a lot of indigestion after meals. Smaller more frequent meals are my game plan right now. 
Have you started to show yet- Obviously, there is no hiding this little boy anymore. Only 7 more weeks! 
Gender- Boy
What I'm looking forward to- My baby shower this Sunday! I bought the cutest maxi skirt today for it. I'm excited to have everyone special in my life come and celebrate our little man together.
Belly button in or out- It is hanging in there like a champ. I give it 2 more weeks and it's out. Turkey's done! ;)

Our Little Captains Dreamland..

I wanted to share a few things we did today to Kash's Nursery. All we need is some bedding and it is complete! We are looking into some navy blue and white chevron bed sets. I figured a lot more is coming after the baby shower :) 







How Far Along- 30 weeks
How Big is the Baby16 inches  
Total weight gain/loss- 30 lbs and not proud of this at all. I'm eating healthy and reasonable and that's all that matters right now. 
Stretch marks- Still none. I'm very happy. 
Maternity Clothes- Everything maternity. Some of my old stretchy shirts still fit. I usually wear a stretchy shirt with a cardigan. I did cave and bought a couple maternity shirts at Target yesterday. 
Favorite moment this week- Hiccups! It's the cutest thing in the world. It took me a couple times to figure out what exactly it was. It feels like a rhythmic muscle spasm in my lower belly. Usually lasts 3-10 min each time. He has started getting them about 5 times a day. I've read that his lungs are developing right now and it's very common. 
Miss Anything- I miss my old body (obviously) but it's all for a good cause. I pass mirrors in department stores and hardly recognize myself. I also miss tanning, hot baths, and shaving my legs without struggling through it. 
Movement: Movement has slowed down. He's definetly starting to run out of room. The little flutters have turned into slow rolls. His little feet try and get caught up in my ribs too. Keith cringes everytime I complain about it. 
Food cravings-  Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream. So delicious.
Anything making you queasy or sick- Nope, I feel great. 
Have you started to show yet- Yes, the bump is now a full blown belly. I've started getting Braxton Hicks contractions. They don't hurt but definetly aren't comfortable. It's like a leg cramp but in your belly. 
Gender- Boyyyy
What I'm looking forward to- We just got Kashs crib and a matching changing table. It's perfect! Just a few more final touches on the nursery and it's complete! It looks amazing. 
Belly Button in or out: So So close to being out.
