How far along: 27 Weeks, Size of an Acorn Squash.

Gender/Name: Girl! We just call her baby girl for now.

Weight gain: ~15/16 lbs. I forgot to weigh myself today so I’m guessing.

Maternity clothes: Yes, finally enjoying the comfy maternity jeans.

Sleep: Not too bad, getting harder to get comfortable and I toss and turn a lot. And still waking up multiple times to pee.

Best moment this week: Our babymoon!! We went to Breckenridge to get away for a night and it was exactly what we both needed. It was so much fun to spend time in one of our favorite places. We ate so good and just relaxed! And the weather was a little chilly and rainy, a little FALL tease. We had a lot of fun!

Miss anything: Wine! I had a sip of Mitch’s wine while out in Breck, it tasted too good. I can’t wait to enjoy a wine tasting or a girls night with wine!

Movement: Moving and Kicking like crazy!

Cravings: Waffles! I am not usuallly a fan of waffles or any breakfast foods. But I had to buy waffles for breakfast! I had one this morning and it was delicious.

Queasy or sick: Feeling great!!

Current Mood: Happy!

Belly Button in or out: In, but it really is freaking me out knowing it will become an outie before the pregnancy is over.

Looking forward to:  My Baby Shower! We sent out invites this week and I am excited to celebrate with family and friends! Funny story; Mitch saw the invites and they say “Honoring Cara” And he asked why is it just honoring me when he had something to do with this baby too. I told him he is more than welcome to join the shower.. He didn’t like that idea! 😉

How far along: 26 Weeks, size of a Coconut. Who loves pina coladas?! 😉

Gender/Name: Girl! We have the names we like narrowed down to two. We haven’t really discussed any new names in a while. So unless we randomly hear a new name, we have an idea of what it will be.

Weight gain: ~15 lbs. Feeling huge all the time.

Maternity clothes: Yes, I finally found a few pairs of ‘skinny’ maternity jeans that are flattering. I will be happy to have them come fall! Speaking of, I am SO ready for fall weather and fall clothes! I want sweaters, boots and leggings!

Sleep: A little better, but I am definitely waking up multiple times a night to pee.

Best moment this week: All her Kicking! Mitch finally got to feel her kick and it was so fun to see his face. She is moving so much now! I’m kind of obsessive about how often she is kicking, I know I don’t need to be counting yet but its hard not to.

Miss anything: Sushi. But also not feeling like I have to eat every 5 seconds. I’m going to be ready for a diet once she is here!

Movement: Moving and Kicking like crazy!

Cravings: Sweets! Anything will do! But I never would eat cookies or ice cream this much before getting pregnant.

Queasy or sick: Feeling great!!

Current Mood: Happy!

Belly Button in or out: In, but it is definitely ‘expanding’.. and it is really weird.. sorry TMI. I don’t want to have it go outie.. but I think it’s on it’s way there.

Looking forward to: Baby Shower & just organizing all her stuff and getting everything ready for her. I am in nesting mode already and it is driving Mitch crazy. I want everything done, NOW. I’m trying to take it slow cause we still have time.

Rockin’ the Preggers Tee

How far along: 25 Weeks, size of a head of Cauliflower.

Gender/Name: Girl!!

Weight gain: ~13/14 lbs, I went to the doctor this week and she said I am right on track with my weight gain! And I should be gaining approx. 1lb a week from now on. She also said I am on track to have a 7lb baby…Not sure how they can estimate that already but can’t wait to see how big she is!

Maternity clothes: Some.. Still on the hunt for some good maternity clothes/jeans.

Sleep: Better this week! I have been having a little snack before bed, maybe it’s helping! I do wake up at 6am – this could be because of my naughty dog.. I tell him its still bed time and I go back to bed.

Best moment this week: Working on the Nursery! I wouldn’t say its almost done.. because its going to take a lot of little details and probably after the shower to get it all finalized. But we got a lot of the big things done, and the crib is set up, which makes it so real!

Miss anything: Occasionally a cold beer sounds delicious.. But If I have a sip it doesn’t taste as good.

Movement: Moving and Kicking like crazy! During my doctor appointment we listened to her heartbeat and she kicked right when we were listening and it was cool that her heartbeat went faster as she was kicking! The doctor said that is a great sign of a healthy baby!

Cravings: Ice Cream & Fro-yo! I’ve had it twice this week and I want it again tomorrow. But anything sweet does the trick.

Queasy or sick: Feeling great!!

Current Mood: Happy!

Belly Button in or out: In.

Looking forward to: Baby Shower!! My best friend will be flying out for the shower and I can’t wait to see her and celebrate baby girl with all my friends and family.

How far along: 24 weeks, Size of a Cantaloupe.

Gender/Name: Girl!! Which is so dangerous. I have been purchasing so many things and I can’t help myself. Little girl dresses, bows and blankets are too cute.

Weight gain: ~11/12 lbs, at the gym today it was like 11.5! I go to the doctor next week, hopefully I am right on track for my weight gain. I’m feeling huge already, I know it’s only going to get worse!

Maternity clothes: I bought some maternity jeans from Target! They are pretty comfy! I think I am just use to SKINNY jeans and the tight fit. Maternity jeans don’t allow for that look. Another mommy blogger I follow said she just sized up in regular jeans, so I tried that as well… I like the look a lot better but I don’t think I can wear them for the entire pregnancy, they work for now though.

Sleep: On & Off, I am starting to get hungry at 3am when I wake up…I may need to start having a late night snack before I go to bed.

Best moment this week: Finishing our registry! I’m sure I’ll add things here and there as I see stuff but for the big stuff we are finished! It was a lot of fun & Mitch got really into it and had a say in most things. Like he doesn’t want a lot of pink in the nursery, which is good because I don’t either. It will still be girly and pretty, just with a little touch of pink.

Miss anything: Sushi, I really want a Red Dragon Roll from John Holly’s. I think I will be requesting one as soon as I am out of the hospital.

Movement: She is kicking like crazy! It is at certain times, like early morning, late at night and sometimes at 3am (She is probably the hungry one). So Mitch hasn’t felt yet, but I know it will be soon cause she is moving all the time.

Cravings: Fro-Yo! I went to get fro-yo this weekend and it was amazing. I may have to go again soon! And anything chocolate, peanut m&ms have been my go to.

Queasy or sick: Feeling great!!

Current Mood: Happy!

Belly Button in or out: In.

Looking forward to: Baby Shower! The planning has started and I can’t wait for it to all come together and to celebrate baby girl with all my friends and family:)

*sorry this post is a little late this week – It really depends on Mitch’s schedule and when he can take my picture. He has been working a lot so its a little delayed this week.

How far along: 23 weeks, size of a grapefruit!

Gender/Name: Girl! Still no name. I really think it will be decided once she is here. I don’t blame people for waiting till they see the baby. I always thought I would know 100% and have her name all over her room, but this is one of the hardest things!

Weight gain: ~10lbs, our scale isn’t the most reliable so I will have to try and remember to weigh myself when I go to the gym next. I’m definitely feeling large!

Maternity clothes: I wore my first pair of real, over the belly maternity jeans this weekend.. Most uncomfortable thing I’ve ever worn! I know, everyone says how comfy they are! But I must have bought the wrong pairs.. I have 1 pair from h&m and 1 pair from Gap.. Both were just not comfy and not cute. I know I’m going to have to find a few good pairs for this fall.. I’m still on the hunt! Speaking of fall, I am SO ready for fall weather, leggings, sweaters & boots.

Sleep: On & Off, I’ve started to get more uncomfortable since I’m getting bigger and I am still waking up around 3/4 and can’t fall back asleep for an hour or so.

Best moment this week: Really getting started on the Nursery! The paint is finished and I have started to buy decor items and I’m ready to get it all set up and all put together for baby girl! Also, having our ultrasound and seeing our baby girl! They measured her legs and she has long legs already, just like her daddy!

Miss anything: Energy, still feeling tired all the time. But feel like I sleep more then normal.

Movement: Yes, Lots of movement!! It’s such a crazy feeling. I was trying to explain it today and the best way to put it is like having butterflies in your stomach, like little flutters but they are getting more dominant every time it happens. I can’t wait for Mitch to feel them too. She was moving like crazy at 3am last night.. Hopefully this isn’t a sign that she is a night owl like her daddy!

Cravings: Fro-Yo! I think I may need to go out and get some this week.The place by my house closed, so I need to find a new location. Also, SO random.. Olive Garden.. I’m making Mitch take me this week. We haven’t had Olive Garden since probably highschool or college but I’ve seen a few commercials and I’m craving their bread sticks.. so bad and so random. But I gotta soak it up while I’m preg!

Queasy or sick: Feeling great!!

Current Mood: Happy!

Belly Button in or out: In.

Looking forward to: Registering! I know, I say this every week… Well.. we are actually going this week!! Mitch has been busy at work and out of town so we are finally going!

Our Little Princess. Those are her hands on her tummy.

How far along: 22 Weeks! Size of a Papaya. She weighs 1 pound!!!

Gender/Name: Girl! We haven’t decided on a name yet. We have a few favorites but it is such a tough decision!!

Weight gain: At the doctor last week it was 9 lbs! She said I was right on track.

Maternity clothes: I think I am going to need to start purchasing some more stuff. Some of my dresses are becoming too short with the growing belly. And once Fall starts I’m gonna need some more jeans and sweaters! (I am ready for fall to be here… mainly cause baby girl comes this FALL)

Sleep: On & Off. At 3am I’m wide awake. And can’t fall back asleep for about a hour.

Best moment this week: My best friends wedding, we had a fantastic time celebrating. It was a busy week since I was in the wedding but it was so fun to be apart of!

Miss anything: Energy! I’ve been so tired lately.

Movement: Yes! More and More everyday! I’ve been feeling flutters but it definitely is becoming more like Kicks! Last night I felt a kick from the outside of the belly! Hopefully Mitch will be able to feel her soon too!

Cravings: None! I’ve been snacking a lot!

Queasy or sick: Feeling great!!

Current Mood: Happy!

Belly Button in or out: In.

Nursery Update:  Mitch started painting and adding the crown molding/base boards to the Nursery! I’ve been buying some decor and I’m excited to get the paint done so we can set up the crib and dresser! My mom is going to be making some crib sheets, crib skirt and maybe a few other things. I can’t wait for it all to come together.

Looking forward to: Registering, Baby shower planning, and Baby classes. I registered Mitch and I to take some baby classes (childbirth & child care)!!

Picture from the gorgeous wedding!

How far along: 21 Weeks, size of a carrot!

Movement: Yes!! Feeling tons of flutters and movement. It is the craziest feeling. It’s not quite “kicking” but I am definitely feeling baby girl moving a lot! She has certain times when she is most active. I can’t wait for more and for Mitch to be able to feel it!

Cravings: None

Queasy or sick: Feeling great!!

Current Mood: Happy!

Belly Button in or out: In.

Looking forward to: Registering! We have a busy couple weeks coming up but we are going to try and register soon and I can’t wait! Something about picking out all the little things for baby girl makes it so real! I did start adding things to Pottery Barn Kids.. I couldn’t resist. Also, starting on the Nursery! I have decided on colors and we have been discussing design details! Can’t wait for Mitch to get started on painting, hopefully next weekend!

How far along: 19 weeks, size of a Mango!

Gender Predictions: It’s a GIRL!! I had more feelings toward girl then boy, mothers instinct?!;) We are so excited to have a little princess!! We kinda have known since 12 weeks that it was a girl. The ultrasound tech made a guess based on the ‘nub theory’ and she has not been wrong in 10 years of working at this office.. So we had a good feeling it was a girl BUT we just wanted 100% confirmation before announcing or buying things! I am really excited to start shopping and planning the nursery!

Weight gain: At the doctor last week it was only 5ish lbs but I know I’ve ‘popped’ a little more since then

Maternity clothes: Dresses~ non maternity!

Sleep: On & Off – waking up in the middle of night and can’t fall back asleep.

She definitely gets me so excited for our own baby!   Another good moment – Celebrating our 2 year anniversary! We are so excited for this next chapter in our lives.
