Portland Children's Museum

The girls had the day off from school so we headed up to Portland to visit the children's museum before my waddle gets too extreme.  The girls had a blast as always. Madison loved the clay room, she could have spent hours in there.  I am so thankful for these fun days with my girls!

Cuddle bug

This girl has me wrapped around her little finger. Almost every night now she somehow ends up cuddling on the couch with me and falling asleep in my arms. I can't resist. I know I am starting a bad habit, but I also know she has some cuddle competition coming in about 10 weeks. I just want to soak up every moment with her I can.


29 Weeks

How far along? 29 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 10 lbs.
Maternity clothes? Some.  Still able to wear my favorite pre-pregnancy jeans.
Sleep? Not enough.  I have been fighting some sort of cold, it has been brutal and exhausting. Being sick while you are pregnant is rough.
Stretch marks? Nope
Best moment this week: Finishing the baby's crib blanket
Movemement:  Lots of activity during the day and night and hiccups regularly
Food Cravings: Coke. Apples and pumpkin dip. Street tacos.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope
Pregnancy Symptoms: Not really.
Babies Size: About 2.5 lbs and 15 inches long!
Labor Signs:  Nope.
Due Date:  Hoping for December 26th!
Looking forward to: Decorating the nursery and deciding on a spelling of the name. I got a couple of things for the nursery this week, paper lanterns and the  blanket materials. Nursery colors: Gray, white, yellow and aqua/teal.


Field trips


Madison and Makenzie had pumpkin patch field trips this week and I was able to go with both of them. It is so much fun to see them in their element, with their friends and classmates. Makenzie was quite the independent little thing, reminding me that I didn't need to be there.  Not sure I am quite ready for my little girl not to "need" me.
