Putting up the crib

We finally got around to putting up the crib!! We have a lot more to do, but at least she now has a bed!! Haha I said we like I did anything. I just sat there for moral support and took pics :)

Just getting started. (Notice he is still watching sports center on the ipad)

Just about there!!

All done :)

Added a rug and a handmade pillow we got for our wedding from an friend.

So much more to do! We will keep you posted on the progress!

Week 33 ultrasound

I just love when we get to see her! It won't be long now until we can hold her and really see her!!
These pictures will have to hold us over until then. We may get one more ultrasound, but that's not for sure.

She has HAIR!!! This explains the tums I have to wake up and take every night.
All of the spiky fuzzy stuff on the back of her head is hair!!



Covering her face again! She does it every time!
I can't wait to squeeze those fat little cheeks!

She has Stephen's feet because her middle toe is bigger than her big toe.

Her arms covering her face still!

Week 33

How far along: 33 weeks 5 days

Estimated size of baby: Pineapple  (19-22 in, Doc says according to her measurements she is between 4.5 and 5 lbs.)

Total weight gain: +28

Maternity clothes? Thanks to a great friend I now have a whole bunch of maternity options!! Thanks Holly!!!!

Stretch marks? Still no stretch marks, but I do have a hernia. I think I have had it for awhile but it is just now starting to bother me. Those muscles are stretching.

Sleep: Some nights good/some nights not so good. I slept on the recliner part of the couch one night. It was just the only way I could get comfy.

Miss Anything? Being able to roll over in bed and it not being a whole production.

Movement: Yes, you can see my belly move and twist all over the place. She is sitting sideways right now which means she is starting to turn out of breech position. We had an ultrasound Tuesday and she moved so much that the ultrasound tech had to work extra hard to get good pics and measurements. She likes to hold her hands in front of her face and kick a lot with her little feet. She is like a little kick boxer.

Food cravings: none this week.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing this week!!

Have you started to show? More and more every week!

Labor Signs:  Only a few braxton hicks this week. Not to bad!!!

Belly Button in or out? Still in

Wedding rings on or off? On

Mood: Excited/anxious/thankful/more excited!!

Best moment this week: So many good moments this week!! Tuesday we had our ultrasound and got to see her again! Wednesday we put the crib together. Saturday we got to see some awesome friends who gave us soo much stuff we will be able to use with this little bunny. Sunday was my first mother's day and we got to spend the evening with family!

Weekly Wisdom: Ok now I feel better because apparently no one else has wisdom either. I asked for everyone to give me advice and I got Nada! Boo! Guys I need all the help I can get.

I guess my wisdom this week is to take a few minutes everyday to appreciate all of the little things. We have so many things to be thankful for that we often over look the small things.

Looking forward to: The baby shower!!! So glad I have awesome family and friends to spend time with and celebrate Little bunny.

Week 32

How far along: 32 weeks 5 days

Estimated size of baby: Honeydew  (19 in, 4.5 lbs.)

Total weight gain: +27 At least it has slowed down. We don't want a Jessica Simpson on our hands! Shew!!

Maternity clothes? Still nothing new. I am just finding new ways to wear old stuff. My waistline is just way higher now! 

Stretch marks? Not yet.

Sleep: Most nights this week I slept great! One night I did have a little insomnia and couldn't stay asleep. I woke up several times with either heartburn, having to pee, crazy dreams, or my mind racing.

Miss Anything? I was missing laying on my stomach in the sun until I came up with a way to do that too:) I got a big ol' round pool float! It works pretty good. Especially as little time as I stay out there. I don't want to get overheated. I just need a little vitamin D!!!

Movement: So much movement!! She kicks so hard now! Sometimes it even hurts a bit. I still love when she moves even if it does hurt sometimes. At least I know she is getting strong.

Food cravings: I did get some watermelon last week. It was delicious! I still haven't craved anything crazy. I just like fruit mostly and get a taste for steak every now and then.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing this week!! 

Have you started to show? Ok, I didn't get any takers on rubbing my belly for good luck. :( I promise I won't bite :) Hehe. I am showing so much now even my yoga pants are snuggling my belly. Luckily they stretch a lot!!

Labor Signs: Still have Braxton Hicks contractions, but nothing to awful.

Belly Button in or out? Still in

Wedding rings on or off? On

Mood: Chilled/excited/happy/feeling blessed

Best moment this week: When Friday rolled around! We had state testing all week. I am ready for summer break. Stephen also worked on building a cabinet for the laundry room. I know it sounds stupid, but I am pretty stoked about having the cabinet!! The laundry room is almost finished!! Then on to Little Baby Reynold's room :)

Weekly Wisdom: How about this week you all post comments and give me some wisdom! I could sure use all that I can get!!:)

Looking forward to: Tuesday we get yet another ultrasound!!! Yeah more pics and they should tell us how big they think she is!! I hope she is starting to turn herself around. She was still in breech position at the last ultrasound.

Week 31

How far along: 31 weeks 5 days

Estimated size of baby: Head of Lettuce (19 in, 3.9 lbs.)

Total weight gain: +26 Shew! I feel like a Buddha!

Maternity clothes? Still only have one pair of maternity pants and two dresses. The dress I have on in the picture is a regular dress. The high waist helps me fit into it still.

Stretch marks? Not yet.

Sleep: Slept better this week because I had the entire bed to myself. Stephen was out of town for work. I still have good nights and bad nights. Some nights it helps to be slightly propped up in order to breath well.

Miss Anything? Doing all of the following without strain: breathing, sleeping, moving, bending, and pretty much existing. Oh and not having heartburn even when I eat the hottest foods. Toast and sometimes water will give me heartburn now.

Movement: She now has longer periods of activity and rest.  She is really active mid day and around 8 p.m. She love to push up under the left side of my ribs. You can feel a hard lump there when she is really pushing hard. I am not sure what part of her body it is, but I guess we will find out at our next ultrasound. You can see my belly move now! It is crazy!

Food cravings: None this week. Right now I could go for some really good watermelon :) I guess that could be a craving. I won't hurt anyone if I don't get it though! :)

Anything making you queasy or sick: Taking vitamins without much food.

Have you started to show? Yep, just like a Buddha statue. Who wants to rub my belly for good luck? :)

Labor Signs:  Still have Braxton Hicks contractions. Doc says its just my body practicing. Walking around Lowes makes them worse.

Belly Button in or out? Still in

Wedding rings on or off? On

Mood: Happy and anxious. I feel like things need to really start getting done. Time is flying by!

Best moment this week: I got to meet Dr. McQueary at our new baby doctors office. I feel so much better about this practice than the last two. I am also excited that I bought a sheet,a rug, and baskets to organize her closet.
Weekly Wisdom: Not sure I have any to spare this week :)

Looking forward to: Buying more things for her room and finally putting her crib together.

Week 30

How far along: 30 weeks 5 days

Estimated size of baby: Head of Lettuce (18 in, 3.2 lbs.)

Total weight gain: Not sure, I haven't stepped on the scale this week. I am sure I have gained! I am swelling more lately.

Maternity clothes? Just wearing what is comfortable. I love the yoga pants! Unfortunately, I can't wear those to work :(

Stretch marks? Still none! I really hope it stays that way.

Sleep: Not sleeping as well this week. My back has been hurting more. I also got a really bad calf cramp at 3 am the other morning. It has been several days and my calf is still sore. Heartburn has been pretty bad this week as well.

Miss Anything? Not taking my picture every week. :) Can't wait til I can just take pics of Little Baby Reynolds!

Movement: She is still a little bunny hopping around a lot in there,especially when my bladder has even a little in it! She is moving more at night too. I can tell she is getting stronger and stronger. :) I think she had hiccups today. It was funny to see my belly jump like that.

Food cravings: I craved ice cream after dinner the other night. This is big because I do not normally like ice cream.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope :)

Have you started to show? Yep, just a little bit of a bump there ;)

Labor Signs:  A few braxton hicks contractions every now and then. They aren't painful though. My stomach just gets tight.

Belly Button in or out? Still in

Wedding rings on or off? On, but my right hand ring is snugly.

Mood: Exhausted! I haven't been feeling the best this week so I feel a little bummed about that as well. I am still really happy and excited to be having this little bunny. I get antsy about her getting here sometimes.

Best moment this week: Spending time with family. Not hearing back about the glucose and anemia tests. They said no news was good news. Guess they were normal!!

Weekly Wisdom: Rest, Rest, Rest! I can't seem to get enough.

Looking forward to: Summer break

Week 29

How far along: 29 weeks 5 days

Estimated size of baby: Butternut Squash (17 in, 3.1 lbs.)

Total weight gain: +24

Maternity clothes? Nothing new

Stretch marks? No, I am a belly butter fanatic!

Sleep: Good, I only wake up once or so a night, usually around 3:30 am. If I wake up a second time it is usually 30 minutes or less before my alarm is supposed to go off at 5:30. That part is not to fun, but I am sleeping better.

Miss Anything? Nothing this week :) 

Movement:Still a lot!! She is starting to get under my ribs. She is really good for my posture!

Food cravings: I sort of had a craving for chocolate milk the other day, but it wasn't so strong I had to run and get it right away. Still haven't had any of those "would die for ____" cravings.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope :)

Have you started to show? My belly is so big it gets in the way now. Tried to clean my windshield on my car and my belly honked the horn several times. Hehe.

Labor Signs:  I had a little cramping the other day that lasted a while, but I don't think it had anything to do with labor.

Belly Button in or out? Still in

Wedding rings on or off? On.

Mood: Exhausted!

Best moment this week: Meeting the new doctors and getting new ultrasound pictures!! She looks like she is going to have chubby cheeks :)

Weekly Wisdom: A good doctors office makes a huge difference in how comfortable you feel. We really like the new doctor's office!

Looking forward to: Getting results back on the Glucose and Anemia tests.
