32 weeks

How far along: 32 Weeks
Total Weight Gained: 5 lbs...however, I go to the doc tomorrow and I expect to be a little higher
Maternity Clothes: Yes! Pants all the time, and my regular shirts are slowly becoming too short. With only 8 weeks left, I am putting off buying more clothes
Sleep: Annoying! I LOVE sleep, but I have been congested lately and that is making sleep difficult. I have nasal spray and sudafed which have worked wonders.
Best Moment of the Week(s): Feeling our baby girl moving ALL day long! It is very hard to concentrate at work with her moving. AND having a shower this weekend and getting to see so many sweet friends and family.
Movement: Lots!! When I am sitting, she is so up in my ribs. Much more comfortable when laying back in the recliner where she can move lower and more freely.
Food Cravings: I just want pizza all the time...and last night I REALLY wanted Olive Garden 5 cheese ziti, so hubby stopped on his way home and got him. He pretty much rocks!
Food Aversions: Nothing really...
Symptoms: My lower back hurts by the end of the day. Congestion...other than that, I'm doing great!
What I miss: Sleeping all night on my belly
What I'm looking forward to: Getting to hear baby girl's heartbeat tomorrow at the doctor and a shower with Andrew's family next weekend. His cousin from Philly is coming down and she is due 3 days after me!
Other news: We have 2 very good friends due in March. One is not going to go that long and could have her baby SOON. So excited to be doing this with great friends.

Family Update

It has been a while since I have blogged...SORRY! Things have been hectic around here. We have been out of town the past couple of weekends and I have had something every day after work for the past several days. I'll try to keep this post short; however, we have lots of fun things to share.

BABYMOON/DEBT FREE weekend

Andrew and I left for Nashville Friday morning and went to Dave Ramsey's studio. We were there for 2 reasons.
#1: To SCREAM: "WE'RE DEBT FREE"
#2: To meet Dave himself
We got to do both:) We paid off the rest of Andrew's school loans right before Christmas! We got to do our debt free scream from the lobby of the building. DEFINITELY a wonderful experience.


After we left the studio and checked into the hotel, we treated ourselves to dinner at the Melting Pot. It was a super experience and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!!

Saturday, we slept in and met our friends, Alex and Katie, to go to his live event. After the event, we went to dinner and relaxed at the hotel. VERY fun and VERY relaxing!



BOWLING GREEN SHOWER with AMAZING FRIENDS

My Sis-in-law and a couple of ladies I used to babysit for threw Elsie and I a shower in Bowling Green on Sunday. It is an understatement to say that this baby girl is blessed. I am continually amazed at the love for my unborn baby!! It was a great time to see friends that we don't get to see very often. Old Small Group friends, kiddos and families I used to babysit for, college friends, a few family members...a great time all around.


One super cute 11 month old that I got to see all weekend!

NURSERY UPDATE

The nursery is pretty much complete. The last thing we need to do is put pictures into the frames. I am putting up some pics, but please beware of the mess. I have NOT had to time to clean up after the shower gifts this weekend. I am trying to organize as I go.
