*31 weeks*




How far along? 31 weeks 5 days!
Maternity clothes? Mostly just leggings! All the dresses I have and tank tops are still fitting. Okay, stretching.
Stretch marks? Nope
Sleep: Not a whole lot. Since he's getting stronger, his kicks will wake me up a couple of times a night.
Nausea: Nope
Best moment this week: hearing our sweet boys strong heartbeat!! :) it never ever gets old. We also took child birthing classes which was awesome. We learned so much, and we got to tour our hospital. I honestly feel so much better about labor now, and Andrew is really seeing that its getting real! He's going to be the best labor partner ever! I really realized seeing other husbands just how lucky I am to not only have the best one in the whole world, but a true blue partner. I know he'll be there every single step of the way to get me through!
Miss Anything? I miss my body. I'm getting to the point where I'm just tired and do not have the energy I like to think I have. 
Movement: Allllll the time :) he's so strong! Lots of kicks to the ribs, and he sticks out limbs all over my body which hurts but is awesome at the same time.
Food cravings: Mexican food and chocolate.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope
Labor Signs: Braxton hicks 
Symptoms: Braxton hicks, swollen feet if I'm on them for awhile, fatigue
Belly Button in or out? Out! So weird haha
Wedding ring on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Holy hormones. I am emoooootional! Lots of tears from frustration and just for no good reason. We're in the middle of packing, and I get really frustrated by how easily I'm exhausted. Andrews been such an amazing sport. He just holds me and let's me cry it out, God bless him!
Looking forward to: finally setting up the nursery! And the baby shower :)

*29 weeks*

 
One of these days I'll get a picture where I actually look normal, I swear.
Until then, here it is :) Sorry it's taken me so long to update! Between house hunting & 3rd trimester symptoms and being newlyweds, my brain is all over the place!
 
How far along? 29 weeks
Maternity clothes? Yep!
Stretch marks? Not yet!
Sleep: Awful. I never sleep anymore. I'm peeing every two seconds and when I'm not I'm restless. I usually catch up on sleep between 8-11 in the morning. Otherwise I'm just awake.

Best moment this week: I got my official Mrs. Mitchell Tennessee drivers license! :) It was a very exciting moment. I guess also, I need to catch yall up on the past month. Sorry it's been that long!
Jack is still growing big, but he's healthy as can be! He's active as ever and getting stronger by the second. I can now distinguish certain body parts of his that he drags across my belly. Craziest/weirdest/coolest thing EVER!
I'm gestational diabetes free! This was a huge one for me. When I was little they were worried I had diabetes and I had to go through a lot of testing to finally come to the conclusion that I wasn't (Thank the Lord!) So I went into this pregnancy almost expecting to have GD. When I found out that I had passed the test, I was ECSTATIC!! :) God answered a BIG prayer on that one!
Baby registering! Andrew went out of town to Vegas for a bachelors party, so it was perfect timing for my mama to come up and have a baby weekend! It was AWESOME! We ventured through Babies-R-Us for hours and it was bliss. Exhausting, but bliss none the less :)
Miss Anything? Energy. I've become super tired again like the first trimester, which I'm not a fan of. I also miss being in better shape. And coffee. 
Movement: SO much :) He knows how to keep his mama happy!
Food cravings: Mexican food. I could eat fajitas all day every day. We just had mexican food tonight and I already want more.
Anything making you queasy or sick: I'm getting a lot fuller quicker, which is not a bad thing haha so sometimes I have to watch myself or I'll feel sick
Labor Signs: Hopefully none will be coming for a good while!
Symptoms: No sleep, fatigue, swelling feet
 
Belly Button in or out? Its halfway out :) you can see it through my shirts now haha

Wedding rings on or off? On! :)Happy or Moody most of the time: I have to say thankful. I've been really, really humbled by the blessings in our life the past month. There is chaos doing every big moment all in one year, but at the end of the day, I am married to absolute love of my life and we get to have a son. I couldn't be more thankful or grateful for that! I dont need anything else :) And that's the truth.
Looking forward to: House! And the baby shower :))
He loves to hang out on my left side :)

 27 weeks!

 

Also, THIS. My inlaws had this made for Jack. Long story short, Andrew has his own Sandstorm dance that he performs at every wedding we go too. It's EPIC. So this onesie is definitely one of our favorites.
