33 weeks....and growing!

This has got to be my worst picture to date, ugh. Pics just ARE NOT flattering these days...I guess it doesn't help when I skipped washing my hair this morning. YUCK. I need a tan. Pronto.

How far along? 33 weeks yesterday


Size of the baby? Baby center: a little over 4 pounds, over 17 inches. What to expect: Could be 20 and almost 5 pounds… So pick somewhere in between those two?

Maternity Clothes? SAME. For example today’s jeans are not maternity, just using the bella band…simply because I wanted to wear jeans today (casual Friday) and my maternity jeans were dirty. I don’t hate the bella band, but it does roll down a lot.


Stretch Marks? SAME. I just ran out of my first bottle of Bio Oil, must get more pronto. I picked up some “tummy butter” by Palmers and although it feels a little greasy I really like it, it feels like it works.

Movement? SAME. Baby girl has definitely started getting the hiccups though…she’s had them several times over the past few days.


Sleep? SAME. Toss and turn ALL night long. Blah….

Food Cravings? SAME.

What I Miss: SAME.

Symptoms: I’m pretty sure I encountered my first “known” Braxton Hicks over the weekend. I was on the phone with a girlfriend (who has a four month old, so she would know!) and all of a sudden got this really tight/cramping sensation in my belly. It didn’t last long, but was definitely noticeable. She said it was BH. I also woke up in the middle of the night Saturday (TWICE) from them. Don’t think I’ve felt any since though. I get a little bit of heartburn every now and then. I also purchased a fake wedding ring the other day, I haven’t started wearing it yet but it won’t be long. There is just no point in risking it…my mom had to have hers cut off so I’m not taking that chance! I’ve never mentioned this….the weekly thing I had didn’t have a place for it, but my belly button is most definitely OUT! It has been for a while…it doesn’t bother me. It goes back, right? It’s funny looking…oh well!

Best Moment of the Week? We’ve started receiving a few gifts in the mail….and I just love it! I am having two baby showers and they are both next weekend…so the gifts are starting to trickle in. We got the two HUMUNGO frames hung this past weekend along with the mirror/frame collage over the dresser. It’s getting so real now!!

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...

25 weeks....yesterday!

Holy moly!!!! Baby Girl is doing some maaaayjah GROWING:) How far along? 25 weeks. Size of the baby? 13.5 inches and a pound and a half, grow baby girl, grow! Also known as an “average rutabaga”…um, okay. I’ll take Baby Center’s word for it. Maternity Clothes? Same as last week. My wardrobe is shrinking! I have bought several maternity tops, but most of them still look way too big. Still haven’t made the transition to maternity pants even though the bella band aggravates me sometimes. It’s the worst with my work pants, it constantly rolls down. I need to just suck it up and make the switch. Stretch Marks? None have appeared yet, still using the Palmer’s and Bio Oil a few times a week. Movement? Same. It’s so crazy how hard my belly gets at night, it is like she is all knotted up in one place. And the BELLY gets insanely BIG at night! Sleep? Eh…it’s been okay lately. I toss and turn a bunch. Food Cravings? Nothing crazy yet. I have been eating lots of peanu...
