35 Weeks & Babymoon!

Pregnancy Highlights:

How far along: 35 weeks!

Size of the baby: 5 1/4 lbs. (weight of a honeydew) and 18 inches long. Most of his basic physical development is complete and he will spend the next few weeks putting on weight! - Baby Center

Movement: He seems to be awake and moving more and more each day! I am going to miss this the most once he arrives!

Cravings: Ice cream! I am finding that I don't have very much room for food.
Sleep: Still sleeping through the night!

Symtoms: Crazy heartburn (I heart berry flavored Tums)!

Doctor's Appointment on 8/23: I am measuring 2 weeks ahead but the doctor thinks that I will be 4-5 days late since this is our first baby. His heartbeat was at 145!

Most anxious moment of the week: After waiting the initial 4-6 weeks for our baby furniture and then an extra 6 weeks we finally decided to ask for our money back so that we could look at other options! Yikes!

Best moment of the week: My baby showers!! Celebrating our last Anniversary as a family of 2 (4 including the pups) and spending the weekend in Vail, Colorado for our "babymoon!"

What I'm looking forward to: My birthday, a long weekend and finding new furniture!

Showered with Love!

On August 17th, my mom's friends Kathy Albrecht and Debbie Lieurance threw me a wonderful baby shower! The food, decorations and cake balls were perfect and it was fun to see everyone! The little guy and I felt so loved!

Hostesses and the soon-to-be Grandma's!

Cake balls on a stick...yummy!
The following Saturday (8/21) Kara, Abbey, Sally, Leah and Erin (& Hannah, Hannah and Monica) gave me a baby shower in KC! It was sooo much fun!!

Hostesses with the Mostesses... BFF's...

Auntie Kara and Gramma!
Foxy Nana & Gramma!
Kara's gorgeous friends who helped with the shower (Monica & Hannah)!

The handmade blanket my bff Katrina made...I think she "whip-stitched it!" Love it!

Thank you to all of my friends and family for your love and support! Ryan and I couldn't do it without you!

XOXO,

Lindsey

Happy 3rd Anniversary!!!

WOW! I can't believe it has been 3 years since I married my love! I am a very lucky girl and I can hardly wait for all of the adventures the future brings!

Love you, Ry!

"Grow old along with me...the best is yet to be!"

31 Weeks!

Pregnancy Highlights:

How far along: 31 weeks...9 weeks to go (I can't believe we are in the single digits)!

Size of the baby: He is over 16 inches long and weighs about 3.3 lbs (4 oranges) and he is heading into a growth spurt! He can turn his head from side to side and his arms, legs and body are beginning to plump out. -Baby Center

Best moment of the week (or most overwhelming moment): Our baby classes on Saturday! It made everything so real...very exciting but at the same time very overwhelming. Maybe it was all of the nipples in the videos for the breastfeeding class...haha!

Movement: I thought he used to move around a lot but I had no idea what was to come...he is so active all day and night!

Food Cravings: It's too hot to eat anything but ice cream!

Sleep: Still sleeping well. YAY!

Symptoms: Who isn't hot!?!

What I'm looking forward to: Our birthing class this Saturday and seeing friends in the next couple of weeks! Oh and hopefully our furniture comes in too!

xoxo,

Lindsey

PS - Summer camp ended last Friday at the Boys & Girls Club...I can't believe how fast summer has flown by! Here is a pic of the kids loving on the little guy. They loved to ask questions and rub my belly! I had a couple more name recommendations - Buddy, Garfield and Xander (and the x is pronounced like a z...she was very specific in the spelling)!
