30 Weeks and Some Turkey!

Well, Thanksgiving has come and gone and now it’s Christmas time!  I can’t believe how quickly this year has passed, all the things we have done, and how much more we still have planned!  We went up north to have Thanksgiving at my sister and brother in law’s house.  It was really nice to be up there with the family and to get away for a little bit.  While we were there, my sister’s mother in law took some photos of us.  I love them so much and wanted to share a few here with you guys. 

 

How far along? 30 Weeks!

Total weight gain: 17 lbs

Maternity clothes?  Still in my normal clothes but opting for the maternity stuff a bit more these days since it’s more comfy.

Stretch marks? No….still in the clear!

Sleep: Oh sleep….well, it’s hit or miss but I think it could be worse.

Best moment this week: Turning 30 weeks….I feel like that’s a huge milestone!

Miss Anything? My back not hurting!

Movement: He’s kicking away inside!

Food cravings: not really.  Just food in general makes me happy

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope…all clear!

Gender: Boy!

Labor Signs: Nope…still got a while for those {hopefully}!

Symptoms: Achy back…I am also becoming more and more clumsy.

Belly Button in or out? IN but flattening out more.

Wedding rings on or off? ON

Workouts? I have been able to still run; although, it’s nothing compared to how I normally am.  I tell myself to just put in 40 min-1 hour of exercise 5 times a week and that’s an accomplishment.  I had a week moment yesterday after a 3 miler that I walked/ran.  It’s getting harder now that Liam is getting bigger and pushing down harder on my bladder but I am determined to not give up until it’s absolutely necessary, AKA, my body tells me to stop.  We are running a marathon relay this weekend and I am the last leg of it (running 5.9 mi).  My best friend will be running with me so I am really looking forward to that.  This will be my last race prego..so weird to think that it’s almost over.

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy and emotional

Looking forward to: 10 weeks from now!

The Final Stretch!

I have now officially hit the third trimester!  Wow...that has flown by.  It seems like it was just last week that I got the plus sign on the stick and now here we are finalizing the nursery, starting birthing classes, and started my bi-weekly dr's appts!

We had our Baby Shower this weekend...it was A-MAZZ-IINNGGG! The girls did an amazing job at planning and decorating the shower. I was blown away at the detail and thoughtfulness these girls put into it. Seriously blessed! Here are some pictures, plus a little update below. Enjoy! 

 The wonderful ladies who I call my closest and dearest friends.

 

 

 Me and Nick when we were young and adorable!

 

 There he is, little Liam!

 

 I just love color!!

 

 How freaking cute is this?!

 

 One of my favorite things about the shower.  It was so fun reading these with Nick the next day.
