32 Weeks

 We had our 32 week checkup Tuesday.  I have been consistently measuring 1 week smaller than average at each visit so there was no concern - however, at yesterday's visit, I measured 2 weeks smaller.  The doc said she was not extremely concerned (unlike Hunter and I!) but didn't want this baby to fall too far down the charts if he was lacking in growth so she ordered an ultrasound for bright and early this morning to see what this little guy is doing.

We just got results back and he is in the 37th percentile, which means he is on the smaller side but everything is growing in proportion and as it should!  The ultrasound read that he weighs about 4 lbs. 3 oz. 
We are thrilled that things turned out normal and we even got an extra ultrasound picture for a bonus!
 Just over 7 weeks and he will be here!  We can't wait! 

Large Marg!

It has been a while since I updated you on the bump, so here it is in all it's glory!

 26 weeks 

(Sorry about the "beautiful" boxes in the background - explanation soon to come)

 28 weeks

 30 weeks

31 weeks

So, tomorrow I will be 32 weeks which means only 8 weeks until this little guy is actually here!  We cannot believe how fast these last few months have flown by.  Pretty sure I am moving into freak out, melt down, scared to death mode about the whole delivery!!!  Trying to be brave though!  I am also fearing where I might be if my water breaks!!!  What if I am at the gym or the store!?!  I would die!  (Just cross your fingers for me that it won't happen anywhere other than at home - if at all!!!)  

Ok, so enough about my crazy thoughts...

 So far everything has looked great for little H at each appointment.  He is measuring on schedule and his little heart is beating just as it should be!  I am measuring about a week behind but the Doc is not concerned.  I am still feeling great other than the heartburn - which has continued to get worse!  I wish I owned some stock in TUMS because they are my "candy" of choice these days!

I also miss being able to paint my toenails.  I did manage to get them painted about 2 weeks ago, but they are looking terrible and there is nothing I can do about it!  I will have to bribe Hunter or get a pedicure from here on out (which is one gift I got from the baby shower - LOVE IT!).  

The crib is here and put together, and we are currently working on the bedding, bumpers, and skirt!  When I say WE, I mean my sister is doing all the hard stuff and I am the official material ripper and ironer!  What can I say, I am not the domestic "PINTEREST" woman that I would like to be, but I am taking notes as this project goes along so maybe one day...

Well, that's all for now.  I will be posting some pictures from the baby shower as soon as I can track some down from somebody!

The bump is growing!

So, here are me and baby H at 22 weeks.

And then he decided he wanted to really show at 24 weeks. 

I feel like I went from little bump to BIG bump overnight!

 So, I decided to answer some questions I have been getting a lot lately.  Just in case you were wondering the same thing, wonder no more!

1. How are you feeling?

I have felt GREAT!  No morning sickness and not too tired either.  Other than heartburn, I can't complain!

2. Have you had to wear any maternity clothing?

Not yet.  I have about 8 pair of pants that still fit but this kid will push his way into maternity pants REAL soon!  I do sport the belly band a lot lately!  My tops are still fitting just fine if they are long.

3. What stuff do you already have for the baby?

As for all the BABE equipment, so far we have a rocking chair (LOVE IT!), car seat and stroller, and the fabric for the crib bedding.  We have also been spoiled by friends and family already with 2 AWESOME diaper bags, some of the all important diaper essentials, and SUPER CUTE Yankee and Utes gear for little H!

4. Has Hunter felt the baby move yet?

OH YES!  This little guy is active.  We just laugh sometimes with how much that kid moves.  Honestly, it is one of the neatest feelings ever and I love that Hunter loves to feel him move as much as I do!

 5. How are you decorating the Nursery?

We are doing grey, yellow, and white.  I also think it would be HILARIOUS to add a little wiener dog here and there since you all know how much I LOVE them!  That way, Daisy will live on forever:)  That is the plan but I am not sure that Hunter is a big fan of the idea.  I am sure some of you probably think I am NUTS too but it's all good!  

Well, that is all for now!  Hopefully I didn't completely bore you to DEATH!
