Image
How Far Along?  33 weeks Total Weight Gain:  22 pounds Maternity Clothes?  Yep! Stretch Marks?  Lots!  Sleep:  Pretty good, although its getting harder to get comfy. Josh says I'm a little restless. Best Moment This Week:  Spending the day with Josh yesterday and getting our fancy new bookshelves set up! Miss Anything?  Nothing I haven't already mentioned Movement:  Lots! He's more rolling around instead of kicking or punching since he's running out of room. Food Cravings:  BLT's. We've had them for dinner two nights in a row (so far!)  Anything Making You Queasy or Sick?  Same ol' stuff. Gender:  Boy Labor Signs:  None yet Symptoms:  Lots of leaking! And  even more  stretch marks Belly Button In or Out:  Out Wedding Ring On or Off?  It depends on the day! Happy or Moody?  Emotional is more the word I'm looking for. I'm not taking these stretch marks very well, that's all I'm goi...

Happy Halloween!

Lets begin with my weekly update picture! Here's the weekly update picture with me wearing my costume; Pumpkin Smuggler! My partner in crime! For some reason, when Josh shaved his beard into a  handlebar-soul patch combo, we kept making this face at each other...  Chloe's costume! (Doesn't she look thrilled?!) \ Josh carving his pumpkin! Carving my pumpkin! It was the first time I had carved one in years! So much fun!  Josh's Jack-O-Lantern My goofy looking pumpkin Lincoln's little baby pumpkin!  Pumpkin family I just wanted to thank my brother Cameron for taking me and Josh to a local recycling plant where they had made a maze made of those blocks of recycled stuff! It was really fun! (Plus it was a little freaky considering there were guys dressed in black running around, scaring people!) H A P P Y  H A L L O W E E N ! ! !

Week 32 Pregnancy Update

I'll be posting about our Halloween festivities either late tonight or tomorrow morning. I'll also post my weekly picture in that post. But for now, I'm just  going to do my weekly update! How Far Along? 32 weeks Total Weight Gain:  25 lbs Maternity Clothes? Yes! I'm excited to show you all my homemade Halloween costume! Stretch Marks? Yep. I had a little bit of a meltdown about it when I realized the ones showing up on my stomach, but I'm better now. :) Josh helps me a lot by saying, "You're just earning your stripes!" What a great guy I've married. Sleep:  Its been pretty good so far this week. Best Moment This Week: Finding out that Josh has Thursday off! Miss Anything?  Same ol', same ol'. Movement: Lots! Some days it feels like he's trying to push his heels through my uterus! Food Cravings:  Candy! Luckily for me, tis the season (or just the day) to get lots of that! Anything Making You Queasy or Sick?  Peppermint and th...

Maternity Photo Shoot!

Photos from the 27th! Copyrights go to Lauren Davison of Davison Photography For those of you who don't know what the picture above means, here's the story. When Josh and I were first dating, we used to Skype each other because he lived 45 minutes away. He said somewhere in that first conversation, "You just complete me." And he made a circle with his hands. I replied, "No, it has to be a heart!" So he made this symbol. We both agreed it didn't look much like a heart but more like an arrowhead. So we say, You Complete My Arrowhead :)

Family Pictures Today!

Plus a mini maternity shoot for me and Josh. I'm terribly excited since the last family pictures we had taken with my WHOLE family was at my wedding! I'll be sure to post those when my photographer gets them back to us. :) Here's the link to her website! http://davisonphotography.wordpress.com/ P.S. The gorgeous lady at the top of the screen is my mom!
