2 Down 1 to Go!

Can you believe it?! Only one to go! and that one is me! I feel like after Nash arrived there was no time before Brix followed but now that it's my turn, time is in slow motion. Uh!
I love having so many babies around though. Nash is at the stage where he's starting to smile and coo and it's making me sad that we'll be away from family once our baby gets to that stage. But then again even though Brix is just starting to open his eyes and sleeps a lot he's still pretty fun. It's so fun that this baby will have these cousins!

Nash-6 weeks, Brix-1 week, Kami-33 weeks
(In my defense, it was really hot!)

How far along? 33 Weeks, 3 Days
Total weight gain/loss: 30lbs??
Maternity clothes? My wonderful friend Jade actually let me borrow a bunch of her maternity clothes. It's basically saved my life! I have gotten a few tops too but bottoms have been so hard to find for me.
Stretch marks? Not that I know of.
Sleep: Sleep is getting harder. I've been sleeping a lot lately! Sleeping and AND taking a nap some days. I'm not the biggest fan because I feel like I'm wasting away the day but I never have that groggy feeling like I've slept too much...
Best moment so far: Buying stuff for the baby. Sometimes it actually feels like we're going to have a baby... and sometimes it doesn't.
Have you told family and friends: Yes! We told everyone at 13 weeks.
Miss Anything? I miss not being pregnant haha. I miss having clothes that fit and were comfortable. I miss sleeping.
Movement: Our baby still moves a lot but it's been a lot nicer about it lately. Less kicking and jabbing, more squirming and summersaulting. 
Food cravings: Milk and yogurt are still a favorite. I could live off of those.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing in particular but my stomach hasn't been happy lately.
Have you started to show yet: Yes, I'm huge! I'm actually not, I just feel that way. 
Gender prediction: No idea! Most signs (which are mostly inaccurate) say that it's a boy. I'm carrying low, it has a low heart rate...
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? Out...
Wedding rings on or off? On! Hopefully I can make it all the way through with them.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!
Weekly Wisdom: Yay for cool weather.
Looking forward to: Summer! I'm not excited to be hot all the time but I'm excited to get in some camping before this baby comes.

1 down, 2 to go!



Well lets start with a baby update.


How far along? 30 Weeks, 2 Days
Total weight gain/loss: 25lbs maybe
Maternity clothes? My wonderful friend Jade actually let me borrow a bunch of her maternity clothes. It's basically saved my life! I have gotten a few tops too but bottoms have been so hard to find for me.
Stretch marks? Nope!
Sleep: the past couple nights I've been pretty restless for some reason which leaves me feeling tired all day:( I've also been pretty sore when I wake up...
Best moment so far: Having the baby move soo much!
Have you told family and friends: Yes! We told everyone at 13 weeks
Miss Anything? I miss being skinny. I know I'm lucky because I haven't gotten that big but I miss how I looked and how comfortable it was.
Movement: This kid moves soo much! It's not very nice about it either. I swear I have the Hulk growing inside of me. Maybe I'm just a pansy but there are so many times when I actually wince because it's just kicked me so hard! 
Food cravings: Milk and yogurt are a favorite right now and popsicles but I can contribute that to the increased temperature. I don't know how I'm going to survive this summer.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Mornings actually and having an empty stomach.
Have you started to show yet: It was Emily's grad this weekend and we got a picture with her. I haven't had a picture taken of me for a while and when I looked at it I felt huge! It seems like lately there have been a lot of people who have been shocked that I'm pregnant because they had no idea until they saw me. 
Gender prediction: No idea! Mark still refers to it as Son so it's natural to call it 'he' but when I think of having this baby at Christmas or introducing it to it's uncles who are on missions I see a girl. 
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? Out... most of the time.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!
Weekly Wisdom: Buy more popsicles!
Looking forward to: Lauren having her baby! I also see the OB for the first time tomorrow which is exciting, one step closer to having this baby! :)



In other news...
Congratulations Emily! 
Isn't she gorgeous! She's the student body president so she got to speak at the ceremonies and she did such a great job! It was so fun to be at the house while she was getting all dressed up and then when her date came to pick her up.
