Week 32 Update

Weekly Update & Side Profile Photo:



How far along?: 32 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 13.5 so far!

Maternity Clothes?: Pants - Absolutely, Shirts - yes & wearing some of Dyl's clothes for now

Stretch Marks?: A ton

Sleep: Not for very long periods of time. Sleeping with a pillow between my legs helps, but not too much.

Best moment this week: Baby Shower #2 - we got lots a great stuff and most of the bigger items. We're getting more prepared for her to arrive each day :)


Movement: All the time - I can see it most of the time too.

Food cravings: Taco Bell

Gender: GIRL!!

Labor Signs: none, thankfully

Belly Button in or out?: Flat most of the time, but sometimes its an outie.

What I miss: Being able to order a drink when I'm out to dinner at a restaurant.

What I am looking forward to: Wearing my old clothes again.

Weekly Wisdom: Stretch marks are usually hereditary. If you're mom had them, you probably will too. There are no creams that are going to take care of it. Just hope for the best after the baby is born :)

Milestones: Less than 2 months to go!

Week 31 Update

Weekly Update:

How far along?: 31 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 13.5 so far!

Maternity Clothes?: Pants - Most Def,  Shirts - Starting to wear some of Dyl's clothes for now ;)

Stretch Marks?: Too many - the OB even commented on them this week :(

Sleep: Difficult & painful at best. Sleeping with a pillow between my legs helps some, but not too much.

Best moment this week: Being given a lot of baby stuff. We now have lots of baseline essentials and are beginning to get the baby's things organized.

Movement: She moves a lot and I can get her to move on command. My friends & family have been able to see my stomach move too.

Food cravings: Raspberry Walnut Bars from HotCakes

Gender: GIRL!!

Labor Signs: none, thankfully

Belly Button in or out?: Flat most of the time. So its just disappeared some. haha.

What I miss: Pepsi

What I am looking forward to: Sleeping on my tummy. Recently its been really difficult to sleep for any period of time at night. I cannot wait until I can sleep and turn over again in my sleep!

Weekly Wisdom: Pregnant people are not broken or handicapped. Please don't assume that they cannot lift anything, stand for periods of time, or do things for themselves. If I need help or cannot do something alone, I will ask. Don't just assume I can't do anything, its very irritating to be treated like something is wrong with you.

Milestones: Started working a lot more lately at HotCakes & been able to stand for 8 hour periods of time. Although this isn't a pregnancy milestone, I'm considering it an accomplishment :)

Name Hint #2

So after my baby shower...we took the suggestion of posting a clue about the baby's name once a week. Clearly, we will neither confirm or deny any guesses but you can have fun trying to figure it out. After she is born we will be happy to announce her name to everyone & we hope you like it as much as we do :)


Hint #2

Her first name is long (2 syllables), but we plan to call her by a nickname.

Week 30 Update

Weekly Update & Side Profile Photo:

How far along? 30 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 13 so far!

Maternity Clothes?: Pants - Most Def,  Shirts - I make a lot of my pre-pregnancy shirts work

Stretch Marks?: Too many :(

Sleep: Difficult & painful at best. Hopefully next week the pain at least subsides.

Best moment this week: Dylan's niece Piper Quinn Kelly was born 7lbs 6ozs on November 15, 2009 at 5:26am!

Movement: She moves ALL the time. I can even see my stomach move with her most of the time now.

Food cravings: Taco Bell

Gender: GIRL!!

Labor Signs: none, thankfully

Belly Button in or out?: Just depends on where the baby is sitting.

What I miss: Caffeinated Raspberry Mochas

What I am looking forward to: Getting the baby's room organized. Dyl & I still have stuff in there and its going to be tough to find places for it all.

Weekly Wisdom: Everything at the store that is meant for a baby adds at least 10% onto the price. Look and see if you can get some of the same things (like for the nursery) in the non-baby areas of the store. It might be cheaper.

Milestones: Had my first baby shower. Thanks to everyone who came! We got a ton of really cute & also useful things :)

Week 29 Update (also a little late)

Weekly Update:


How far along? 29 weeks


Total weight gain/loss: 13 - only gained 3 again this month!


Maternity Clothes?: Pants - Most Def, Shirts - I make a lot of my pre-pregnancy shirts work


Stretch Marks?: More and more each day - those creams don't really help much :(


Sleep: Getting worse...Now putting a pillow between my legs is a must.


Best moment this week: Hearing everything is great (and that she will possibly be early) at the OB Appointment!


Movement: She moves ALL the time. I can even see my stomach move with her most of the time now.


Food cravings: Taco Bell


Gender: GIRL!!


Labor Signs: none, thankfully


Belly Button in or out?: Just barely in there


What I miss: This week it has been Margaritas


What I am looking forward to: Painting the nursery & having that project out of the way.


Weekly Wisdom: Don't think that you'll get tons of sleep before the baby is born. Basically at about 25 weeks my good sleep was over. Maybe by the time she is 18 I can get at least one more good night's sleep....


Milestones: Week 30 -- only 10 more to go!!

29 Week Doctor's Appointment

Wednesday we had our 29 week OB appt. Everything looks great! Our appointments are now every two weeks instead of each month which should be fun...ha. They also weighed me and I've only gained 13lbs so far! In other news...the measurements they took show that she is the size of a 30 week baby so we should meet her before her expected due date. Who knows though, she will join us whenever she is ready! 

Weeks 29-32

According to thebump.com 

(http://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/blogs/3rdtrimester/pages/weeks-29-32-month-7-squash.aspx?r=0)

Weeks 29-32 (month 7): Squash

Baby’s energy is surging, thanks to the formation of white fat deposits beneath the skin. (Have those kicks and jabs to the ribs tipped you off yet?) Baby is also settling into sleep and waking cycles, though -- as you’ve also probably noticed -- they don’t necessarily coincide with your own. Also this month, all five senses are finally functional, and the brain and nervous system are going through major developments. 

Week 28 Update (a little late)

Weekly Update:
(I started this last week & just never posted it...)


How far along? 28 weeks


Total weight gain/loss: 10 :)


Maternity Clothes?: Pants - most def, Shirts - sometimes


Stretch Marks?: Getting more each day (or so it seems)


Sleep: Not going so well - hopefully I can learn to sleep through the discomfort.


Best moment this week: Finding out I don't have gestational diabetes!


Movement: Very Strong -- I can actually see my belly move. Its cool & weird all at the same time.


Food cravings: Taco Bell


Gender: GIRL!!

Labor Signs: none

Belly Button in or out?: Still holding onto the innie for now

What I miss: My old jeans :(

What I am looking forward to: Sleeping through the night (even though that won't be for at least 6 more months..haha)

Weekly Wisdom: The bigger your stomach gets -- the harder it becomes to do everyday tasks. Do big projects sooner rather than later.

Milestones: We're officially in the 3rd Trimester!

Let us know what you think!

Don't forget to make your guess!
