34 Weeks

I went back to work this week and man was it tough after that nice 2 weeks off! I am still feeling good, other than when I'm on my feet for too long they start to swell and hurt. I am still sleeping well, but it is VERY challenging getting out of bed. I sort of have to roll! I'm sure it's a sight to see :) The nursery is pretty much ready to go. Just waiting on his rug, which should be in at the end of January. I am having a really hard time deciding on letters to go above his crib. Hopefully it'll come to me in the next few weeks.

We go to the doctor next Monday for my 36 week appointment and from there I start going every week! I'm excited to see how I'm progressing and get more of an idea of when he'll get here!!

33 Weeks

I haven't seen much change in my belly between this week and last week. He is growing fast though! I can feel elbows, knees, and feet now. I must say, it takes my breath away sometimes when he kicks me! I have a doctors appointment on Tuesday and I hope she'll have some news for me as to how he's progressing in there. I've been measuring big, so who knows..he might come early! :)

32 Weeks and Merry Christmas!

32 weeks..I can't believe how BIG my belly is getting! Still feeling good and sleeping well. It is amazing to think that there is a little baby in there! I have to say, I am shocked looking at this picture that I have not experienced back pain yet. It mostly hurts in the lower part of my belly, but from talking to other people that is normal. He has been very quiet during the day and VERY active at night. As soon as I lay down he is ready to rock and roll. Hopefully, this isn't a regular thing! ;)

My mom got this little ornament for Matt and I. It's Porter's 4D picture! I think it's so precious I can look at that ornament years from now and remember this Christmas when I was pregnant with him.

Dear Porter,
It won't be long until you are here. 7 more weeks, if that! :) We are spending this week after Christmas getting your room all set up for you! We can't wait to hold you in our arms.
Love,
Mommy and Daddy

31 Weeks

This picture is a little rough, but here is week 31!

30 Weeks and Baby Shower

Here is my 30 week picture! My pregnancy seems to to be flying by..He will be here in no time now!

My mom came in town this weekend for my baby shower and oh my goodness she took such good care of us! She cleaned, cooked, and did laundry. We didn't want her to leave!!! We also did shopping and she helped me organize Porter's room. My baby shower was on Sunday and it was so much fun! Porter got so many things he needs!! Here are some pictures.

29 Week Update

I decided to start blogging about my pregnancy every week from here until the end. First, so I can document the third trimester and second, so I can see how much my belly grows! Here is week 29
Now that I am in my last trimester, I feel like my belly grows bigger every day! This week has definitely been a "growing week", as one of my good friend calls it. I have felt my ligaments growing this week and man has it been painful. But, nothing a little tylenol doesn't help :)

Porter has stopped moving as much as he used to and now when he moves, it's much slower and bigger movements. He gets the hiccups about 3 times every day and it's the sweetest thing. We go in for our 4D sonogram on Monday and I can't wait to see how much he's changed since we saw him last!

On another note, I had lunch today with one of my dear friends Deanna and her son Mason. He is the cutest little boy ever and is such a good baby! We had a great time catching up and I can't wait till Porter is born so him and Mason can have play dates! :)

Happy Thanksgiving and 28 weeks

This Thanksgiving was a wonderful one! Especially because I am pregnant. I ate A LOT of food! The best part was the maternity pants :) We spent it with Matt's family at his parents house. My family decided to stay in Colorado this year because with my sister away at college, she has gotten pretty home sick and wanted to see her boyfriend/friends. I was definitely missing them, but it was nice not to have to stress about anything and just relax! Here are some pictures of Thanksgiving!




and here is my 28 week pregnancy picture.


I am entering into my third (and final!!!!) trimester. We have 12 weeks left! Still feeling good! We go next week to get our 4D sonogram and I can't wait to see my little man again.
