31 weeks


WOW! I am really bad at blogging! I am 31 weeks now...so its been a long time since my last blog at 12 weeks. Since my last blog, I found out we are having a little girl and picked the name Madden. A lot of people look at me weird when I tell them her name, but we love it! Madden is my mom's maiden name, so its extra special. She has been measuring about a week bigger then her due date, so who knows when she will make her appearance. We have had 6 ultrasounds done (i know that sounds like a lot), but we have really enjoyed seeing her! She is one active baby, so a lot of the pictures aren't so clear. So far all tests and ultrasounds have come back normal so we feel very lucky! We just can't wait to meet our sweet little Maddie. We have been working hard on her nursery, just a few final touches and we will be ready for her. On Sunday, My mom, sister, mother in law, and two best friends are throwing me a baby shower. I am so lucky to have such special people in my life! I can't wait to see everyone and celebrate! I think that is it for now. I will try and blog more often to give updates on Madden!

How far along? 31 weeks -

Stretch Marks?
Nope...I use a lot of lotion on my belly so hopefully Ill be ok!
Sleep?
hmm...I wake up a few times a night, but it hasn't been terrible. I am really tired all the time though. Work is starting to get a little tough! -
Best moment of the week?
I can't wait for my doctors appointment on Thursday! I always like to get an update on baby Madden. And the baby shower on Sunday!! I can't wait to see everyone! -
Food and cravings? I wouldn't exactly say I have many cravings, but I do eat a lot of cereal. Trev thinks it is so weird, but I love it! -
Movement?
She moves all the time! I can't really tell where her feet and hands are but she is certainly one active baby! -
What I miss?
I miss wearing regular clothes and not feeling fluffy all the time.
Belly Button? Still there but its getting smaller! -
Looking forward to?
Baby shower on Sunday!!
