and...

I'm sure I'll get sick of it, but baby laundry is much better than adult laundry. Oh my is this stuff cute!

35 weeks!

Okay, I've been bad...sorry for the lack of updates. Last week was crazy busy and then I had my shower on Sunday. It was such a great day. Everything was absolutely perfect and the little guy will certainly be outfitted (and traveling) in style for months to come. Here are a few selected pictures

Thank you everyone, but especially to my Mom and Mom Haley...I loved it so much!!

Here is the survey
How far along? 35 weeks.
Maternity clothes? Everything...and I'm so sick of it.
Sleep: Still uncomfortable, still exhausted, but lately I wake up at like 3 am and make lists in my head of all the things I still need to do...not the best
Best moment this week: My shower
Movement: yes, lots, though it's less kicking and more shoving of body parts if that makes sense. He's getting a little crammed in there.
Gender: boy...
Labor Signs: some Braxton Hicks...lots of exhaustion.
Belly Button in or out? still flat, but with pieces sticking out.
What I miss: celebratory drinks...
What I am looking forward to: the little nipper making his arrival and of course the "release" of the name :)
Weekly Wisdom: don't use Dr. Google, he's evil
Milestones: 5 weeks left...2 weeks to full term

33 weeks

The weeks do seem to be flying by at this point. I can't believe only 7 weeks left. Full term is at 37 weeks, so it could be as little as 4 before the little nipper makes his debut. We'll see. I can't believe Christmas is next week already! My birthday was great and we had so much fun at Kiku. I'll see if I can get a few pictures up from the night, it was very low key, but festive. Fun times. Eamonn and I went out on my actual birthday as well and had a great meal at the 340 Grill. So I've been pretty celebrated already. So far 30 feels good. We got a new rug for the baby's room, so I've added a picture. It's pretty much done at this point...we need another wall decoration and I need to get his pillows done but that's about it. It's ready and so am I. I am so thankful to still be feeling good, but the anticipation is a little stressful.

Here is the survey
How far along? 33 weeks.
Maternity clothes? Everything...and I'm so sick of it.
Sleep: Actually getting a little bit better...either my hips are getting used to the pain or I'm just so tired it doesn't matter anymore.
Best moment this week: All my birthday celebrations...I'm pretty sure the little nipper would agree, he seemed to enjoy himself.
Movement: yes, lots, though it's less kicking and more shoving of body parts if that makes sense. He's getting a little crammed in there.
Gender: boy...
Labor Signs: nothing at this point, thankfully!
Belly Button in or out? still flat
What I miss: celebratory drinks...
What I am looking forward to: Christmas!
Weekly Wisdom: don't use Dr. Google, he's evil
Milestones: 7 weeks left

32 Weeks and 6 days left of my 20s

32 weeks! We're really getting there now. I had a doctors appointment this morning and the little nipper is looking good. He gave me a bit of a scare since I'm measuring a little bit small, but he's doing just fine (though definitely not going to be a 9 lb baby). On the plus side I got a bonus ultrasound and got to see him stick his tongue out at us and wave. He's already 4 lbs and apparently has an attitude about scaring his mom...oh well. We went to the Knicks/Nets game on Sunday and wow, I've never felt him get so excited. All the sounds must have kept him up because he was quite active the whole game. Thanks again Jeff for the tickets, we had such a great time!

Here is the survey
How far along? 32 weeks.
Maternity clothes? Pretty much everything, The non-maternity shirts I still wear are getting too short, so not really working anymore.
Sleep: I still love it, but it's a little uncomfortable.
Best moment this week: Finishing his hat! And seeing the little guy again!
Movement: yes, lots
Gender: boy! reaffirmed today, definitely still a boy
Labor Signs: no thank you!
Belly Button in or out? I would say flat at this point. Not in or out.
What I miss: my clothes and turkey sandwiches
What I am looking forward to: My Birthday...
Weekly Wisdom: Relax!
Milestones: 8 weeks left

1st knitting project

I'm so proud of myself, I just had to show pictures of the knit hat I made the little nipper. I think it came out really cute.

Ding Dong the TV is gone!

Well yesterday we sold the tv. So everything is out of the baby's room and furniture is in. Very exciting stuff. Eamonn also hung the pictures and they look great! We still have some decorating to do, but things are really moving along. I missed the 30 week update, but I'm just going to skip to 31 weeks. Only 9 left to go. We had such an amazing Thanksgiving with everyone and a great relaxing weekend. December is a busy busy month, so I'm sure it will fly by.

Here is the survey
How far along? 31 weeks.
Maternity clothes? all pants, some shirts, although some of my regular sweaters and things still fit...I'm probably stretching them out, but oh well. I hate maternity clothes and miss my own so much!!
Sleep: I love it, if only it was more comfortable. Sometimes I wake up and the little nipper is jamming in there. It feels like he's jumping up and down.
Best moment this week: Thanksgiving, definitely. I have so much to be thankful for this year (and every year really).
Movement: It's painful, often. I'm always happy to feel it, but he's getting so strong that makes me a little seasick!
Gender: boy!
Labor Signs: no thank you!
Belly Button in or out? Still in...I don't know, maybe it won't pop out till the end. It's definitely weird to look at.
What I miss: my clothes
What I am looking forward to: the holiday season
Weekly Wisdom: Relax!
Milestones: Only 9 weeks left!

Sneak Preview of Maternity Photos

Our photographer put two photos up on her blog, so here's a sneak peak if you want to check it out. They look cute so far!

Furniture is here!!

The nursery furniture arrived this morning and looks awesome. I'm so excited to share these pictures with all of you. Enjoy!
Also if anyone knows someone who needs a tv, we're looking to get rid of this one.

29 weeks!

Only 11 weeks to go! Nothing too exciting has been happening pregnancy wise this week. We had a great weekend celebrating birthdays with everyone which was great! I can't believe Thanksgiving is next week already. Time does seem to be flying. Also Eamonn and I have our maternity photos on Saturday, so hopefully I'll have some nice pictures to share next week.

Sleep: I love it!
Best moment this week: Enjoying the little guy rocking out to the music at the Nets game. Apparently this kid likes Jock Jams
Movement: Definitely, sometimes it's so hard it hurts a little, but that's okay, he's just getting strong.
Gender: boy!
Labor Signs: no thank you!

What I miss: my clothes
What I am looking forward to: Getting our furniture.
Weekly Wisdom: Relax!
Milestones: Almost single digit weeks left...not quite

Also I added a widget for the fruit/vegetable thing in the margin from the bump...as you can see we've moved on to squash size (appropriate for the season I think).

28 weeks!

28 weeks down, 12 to go. Not too much has changed this week. I had my monthly dr appointment yesterday and did the dreaded gestational diabetes test. It really wasn't too bad. You have to drink this sugary sweet stuff and then wait an hour for a blood draw. Thankfully the doctor called this morning and my results were great, so no diabetes for me. Also I now go to the doctor every two weeks instead of four and I meet the other doctors in the practice since any one could be at the hospital when I deliver. Hopefully they'll be as nice as Bonnie...I've heard good things, so I'm not too worried. Eamonn and I already took a tour of the hospital a while ago and I'm really pleased with how everything is set up and their philosophies.
Anyways here is the survey for this week!

Curtains up!

Our curtains are hung up in the little guy's room. All the furniture and what not is moved out, so we're just waiting for our furniture now (thanks Mom!!). Hopefully it will be in this week, so I can start washing baby clothes :). He's got a few things now. It's hard to imagine someone that small will be living here soon! Especially the newborn clothes are sooo tiny. I also tried to take a picture of the belly, but it's pretty bad. I'll try to get a better one up.

27 week update! Third Trimester!

Yay for the third trimester! I'm very excited to be here! Only 13 more weeks until the little nipper gets here. What a nice day I had today with my mom and brother coming to visit for lunch. Thanks guys, I love you! I'm going to try and get Eamonn to take some pictures of the bump for all maybe this week.

I'm adding the fruit/vegetable comparison on here from thebump.com cause it's fun, I'm in the middle of this month, but you get the idea

BabyGap

Just tell me you would be able to avoid buying this....

Philadelphia Anniversary Trip

Here are some pictures from our trip to Philly last week for our 5 year Anniversary! Can't believe how much has changed in 5 years, kind of crazy.

26 Weeks!

So I've decided to start a blog...first off because I'm obviously late to the blogging party and I hate that and second, well I'm sure once the little guy is here everyone will be happy to get pictures. I'm planning on primarily focusing on him, but I'm sure there will be some non-baby related posts.

So......twenty six weeks down, fourteen to go! Here's a fun little poll that I've seen on some of my favorite baby blogs
