Another week has flown by and I cannot believe we only have 9 weeks left. I'm officially in nesting mode, getting the rest of the nursery finished and making mental lists of everything I need to do around the house before this little one makes her appearance. So many things to do, so little time!
Thirty weeks
Tuesday, November 19, 2013
Soo, the gestation period for human beings is 40 weeks and I've got 30 weeks under my (now invisible) belt. Only 10 more weeks to go and I think my brain just exploded knowing that in two short months, I'm going to be holding our little girl in my arms. Holy To-Do List, Batman.
It seems like 29 & 30 weeks were filled with doctor's appointments, which means that Mike and I have now mastered our drive to the hospital. I met with a cardiologist on Thursday and long-story-short, he thinks my heart troubles are simply pregnancy-related, given the 30-40% increase in bloodflow through my ticker.
Murphlanaroux Family Vacation 2013: Steamboat Springs, CO
Saturday, November 16, 2013
Well, since I've been told to take it easy, I'm finally going to write a post that isn't baby-related! Can you believe it?! I know, I'm a little surprised too. Sit back and relax, this post is FULL of photos.
Anyway, I've had lots of couch time to start going through months of unedited photos, starting with our annual Murphlanaroulx family vacation. This year's destination was Steamboat Springs, Colorado! Mike and I were there for a few days because of his work schedule, so most of my photos are of the nature all around our amazing 60+ acre compound rental. We hiked, took a ski lift up to the top of Thunderhead Mountain, explored the town and spent nights gathered around a campfire watching shooting stars.
Twenty-nine Weeks: Already giving me heart problems
Tuesday, November 12, 2013
First of all, McBaby is doing wonderful and is totally fine, but honestly, I could write a book about this week and the longest chapter would be entitled "Did you know you have a heart murmur?" Friday night I noticed that my chest was starting to hurt in conjunction with me taking deep breaths. I noticed this as Mike and I strolled around Target and also while watching Thor in theaters (although, it may have been Chris Hemsworth taking my breath away there... amiright, ladies!?)
Twenty-eight weeks
Tuesday, November 5, 2013
Here's to another week! I can't believe it's already November, time is just absolutely flying by, this baby is going to be here in no time!
How far along? 28 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: Weighed myself this week and it's official. I'm at par for the course for this pregnancy with 0lbs gained and 0lbs lost!
Maternity clothes? I'm living in maternity leggings and I just put a bunch of "too short" shirts storage. None of my button up shirts fit anymore either!
Best moment this week: McBaby got the hiccups for the first time on Monday and it was the cutest thing ever.
Worst Symptom this Week: Back hurts, neck hurts, hips hurt. Lil' lady is wearing me out!
Buy anything for the nursery? So many things... good news is, I'm almost completely finished with it.
Miss Anything? Sleeping on my belly. Rolling from side to side takes a LOT of effort now.
