Hey Friends!
Thank you so much for all the love yesterday, you ladies keep this this little crazy space of mine going!
Anyone up for a little bumpdate?
How far along: 32 weeks.
Size of babe: a Florida Pomelo, whatever that is....evidently she is about 18" long and about 3.5-4lbs
Gender: It's a girl - Lucie!
Weight: A whopping 25 big ones thus far.
Fave maternity item: I've stopped buying maternity items and an now just trying to make due with what I have....I've turned my attention to finishing out the registry. I snagged this baby bouncer from Amazon after seeing a family member use it and I'm obsessed! Can't wait for Lucie to get here and actually try it out!
Loving: Showers, cold water, anything un-healthy to eat, this dress (ps...it's currently $30) that Steph made me buy for after I have the baby and Lucie's curtains that just arrived on Saturday!
Loathing: This random sore throat and congestion I got all of the sudden, my swollen feet, the fact that I bent over the other day to pet the dog and fell over trying to get back up and every single piece of clothing that actually fits me right now.
Movement: She is on the move and what is even weirder is that I can see my stomach change and shift when she does.
Symptoms: Still having those pesky Braxton Hicks contractions all the time and my bump is super tight. The Doc says that I'm just lucky (or unlucky) to be skinny and I can feel every little contraction and movement the baby makes every single time. As for the tightness....evidently, it will only get worse. Other symptoms include swollen feet and fingers, being out of breath by the time I reach the top of the steps and this ridiculous summer cold that has ascended upon me.
Best part of the week: The sweet baby shower in Williamsburg, scheduling my maternity photos and feeling like we are actually getting somewhere in the nursery!
Worst part of the week: Head cold...enough said.
Can't wait for: Seeing all my fave people at my last baby shower this weekend...my sweet sister in law and bestie are throwing Lucie her last big bash before she arrives in September!
Ok, so totally just bought that dress. How is the fit? They only had 1 size left so I'm hoping it will work but we will see..........it looks DARLING on you!
ReplyDeleteYou look fabulous in that dress!
ReplyDeleteDo you think the sore throat and congestion is a pregnancy symptom? Because I'm 25 weeks and I get a sore throat with my indigestion. Then today I started having a lot of congestion. I hope you feel better. I love that dress!
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous!! I remember getting out of breath too and you are definitely not alone with all of your other symptoms. Hang in there.. she will be here so soon!
ReplyDeleteThat dress you have on is so cute!!! Why did I JUST vow to stop buying maternity clothes??! I guess it's for the best....love it!

ReplyDeleteand ps we love our baby bjorn bouncer but it took a few months for Vi to start liking it too! dont give up on it :) also she loves playing with the wood toy you can attach to it.. http://www.amazon.com/Babyjorn-BabySitter-Wooden-Googly-Eyes/dp/B001HX4DNE/ref=pd_sim_75_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0GV80J325WEK4ZD73P2K (i know the price tag is a little steep but it's pretty hilarious to see her lick the little guy in the middle..we named him fred. also it keeps her entertained while we eat dinner! win win).
ReplyDeleteThat dress is gorgeous on you! It's like it was made for you. Have fun at your last shower! Xo
ReplyDeleteThat dress is stunning on you - you look gorgeous!! I'm sorry you aren't feeling well - hope it clears before this weekend! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteHaving a cold while being pregnant is THE WORST!!! You wouldn't know you have a cold though because you look gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteOK, that dress you are wearing is so flipping cute! Is it maternity or just has an empire waist so you can wear it after the baby's born? Cheers!
