Thanksgiving

We had a nice Thanksgiving.  There were 11 of us at our house.  Rob made the turkey because I had zero desire to deal with it.  I made some sides dishes and so did my Mom.  It turned out yummy and I was thankful to be spending the day with my family.  Delaney was hamming it up for the camera.  She wanted to be in every picture.  So here we are with Delaney.  Haha!

Our Baby Shower

On Sunday afternoon we had family and friends over for a co-ed baby shower.  The men watched football, the women chatted and watched me open gifts and the kids played and enjoyed the bounce house.  My only regret is that there aren't more pictures.

This is the beautiful quilt that Jayme made for Baby K.  She's so talented and I love it!

She also made this breasfeeding cover.  Thanks J!

Opening more gifts.  My Mom and Mother-in-law are on the right.  And my friends Jenn and Heather on the left with Heather's daughter Haley on the ground.

The cake my Mom brought.

The bounce house in our backyard.  My kids went nuts!  They dropped it off at 9am and it was there all day.  Score for them!

Delaney in the bounce house.  She's getting so big.

Jaymi, Me and Jayme

We can't wait to meet our new little girl.  Only about 7 weeks or less to go!

32 Weeks

How far along? 32 weeks! Our baby is still the size of a squash! She measures about 15.2 to 16.7 inches long and weighs about 2.5 to 3.8 lbs.

Total weight gain/loss: +24 lbs

Maternity clothes: Everyday

Sleep: I'm still sick, but now I think it's allergies (which I don't normally have).  I'm only stuffed up at night.  I blow my nose throughout the day.  And Tylenol PM has been my best friend for the last few weeks.

Best moment this week: Rob got to feel some really hard kicks!

Movement: She's busy and startling.  Her feet are often in my ribs or jabbing me in my side.

Food cravings: Just loving food in general, but it's getting very hard to eat because there's just no room.  Especially for big meals.

Gender: A perfect little princess.

Labor Signs: No, thank goodness.

Belly Button in or out? Still an innie but getting more shallow.

What I miss: Getting a good nights sleep and being able to sleep on my belly.

What I am looking forward to: My baby shower on Sunday and doctor's appointment on Tuesday!

Weekly Wisdom: Nothing comes to mind right now.

Milestones: 8 months pregnant!  OMG!!

31 Weeks - With a Helper

I had a little help this morning while trying to take my 31 week belly shot.  These are way better then any lame survey.

Hi Mom.

 Whatcha doin?

 Hey that's me and Mommy!

Cheese!

Panther Fan

I have to brag a bit here.  Is he not the most handsome little Panther fan you have ever seen?!  Jordan's very special Grandma and Grandpa live in Charlotte, NC.  So he's accumulated some very nice Panther apparel.  Thanks G&G in NC.  Jordan loves you both very much!

Finally! - 4D Sono

On October 22nd we went to get a 4D ultrasound done for fun.  The only problem was that our little baby was in the frank breech position. Her tiny feet were right in front of her face.  So we left there with no pictures. 

We went back 2 weeks later to try again and thankfully our little miss was head down.  But this time she decided that she still wanted to be shy and hide behind the placenta.  Most of the pictures we got weren't great, but the picture below is my favorite.  The blob on the right side is actually my placenta, but you get a nice shot of her precious little profile and her arm at the bottom.  I'm so in love..... 

Delaney - 2 Year Pics

So I knew that getting just ONE picture of Delaney was going to be a challenge, but somehow we managed to get a few.  This was some serious work though people.  She's a fiesty little two year old.

We got to our appointment.  She put her hands on her hips.  The photographer snapped the one picture above.  Delaney says "All done" and marches out of the studio.  No joke.  We tried to coax her into more pictures, but there were tears.  So we decided to walk around the mall a bit and go back in an hour.

 An hour later she still had no interest in being cooperative.  We had almost given up, but I decided to grab some props they had to see what she would do.  Kierstin was helpful and sat down next to her to play.

We did get a few more shots, but these were the best.  Not bad for a couple hours of hard work.  Jordan was never this difficult at the age of two.  Girls!!  Sheesh.
