My Krissy <3

9wks3days til she is here!

In her final 10 weeks she is packing on the pounds. If you watch my stomach long enough you can see her moving around in there - also, she moves to loud noises (fireworks, Kelso barking, Alyssa screaming, etc.). As you can tell from her 4D pics she is opening her big beautiful eyes & she has eyelashes/eyebrows. And she has been practicing her breathing, but I haven't felt any hiccups yet! Not that I want her to get hiccups, but I do wonder what it feels like when she gets them.

I have been uber tired lately, not sure if that is because of work, stress or the baby (or all three). We got a lot of great gifts at our first baby shower, still lots to buy. One item that I became obsessed with today was baby leg warmers. Seriously, I want to buy her a new pair for every day of the week. How irresistible are these? Oh, and she needs a huge tutu! Necessities for a newborn baby girl people!

Baby Shower!

My wonderful friends are hosting me a baby shower this Friday at the Banks - check out my cool invites designed by Christina Reinersman! I will post pics after the shower. 

Notice the two little pink lines (like my blog) on the left! Details!

Play-doh baby! 4D Ultrasound!

We had our 4D ultrasound today! Baby Lanham is a cutie, little head (yay), full bottom lip, big eyes, loves to suck her thumb just had some trouble finding it & she was even smiling for us. I am so in love with her & so excited to kiss her beautiful face.

Here are the links to the video on YouTube, not much excitement the majority of the time but if you watch you will catch her licking and smiling :)

How can you not love me more than anything?

Butternut Squash!

10 weeks and 4 days (give or take) until we meet her! I met with HR today to go over my transition plan, I may not have as many full days off as I like & unfortunately I can't carry over any of my PTO time over to the next year (totally stinks).

Life has been a little stressful lately, I need to find a way to relieve some of it. I know it's not good for our little one. She is the size of butternut squash - seriously, how good is butternut squash?

thebump.com's description is perfect for this week:

Baby’s energy is surging, thanks to the formation of white fat deposits beneath the skin. (Have those kicks and jabs to the ribs tipped you off yet?) Baby is also settling into sleep and waking cycles, though -- as you’ve also probably noticed -- they don’t necessarily coincide with your own. Also this month, all five senses are finally functional, and the brain and nervous system are going through major developments. 

Only one word can describe me...

HUGE!! 

Here are some pics from weeks 27-29! My stomach is so big in comparison to the rest of my body, but I have to be happy, that's our beautiful little girl just growing away in there!

Hello Third Trimester!

So, I missed the boat on week 27, but work has been nuts the past 2 weeks & I am not expecting it to slow down too much over the next month or so. Overall, I feel pretty good besides just being tired & the occasional cramping in various parts of my body. And the fact, that I am getting bigger every day. I have gained 19lbs total, which is pretty on par for this far along in my pregnancy. I suspect & hope I only gain around 15 more lbs. My body is preparing for milk production, I feel like a cow...I really hope I can breastfeed.

Hard to believe only 12 more weeks and I get to see that little nose, kiss that beautiful face and see her amazing eyes. Her brain has developed more tissue & she is growing hair (hopefully some on her head). She weighs around 2.5 lbs, the size they reference is a chinese cabbage....

I am suppose to go buy a lot of the necessities this week to prepare for the baby, I really need a mattress...so unsure which one to buy....very important for safety reasons. I am suppose to pick up diapers & wipes, baby care items, baby friendly laundry detergent, pads for me (gross), thank you cards & stamps & easy meal ideas. If any of you would like to suggest or help, let me know! :)

Baby Lanham moves around a lot but the second I tell someone to feel my stomach she stops kicking - little stinker (Mommy loves you).

Baby Lanham News!

Nick just called & came up with the cutest middle name! It even has meaning. I think we are going to wait until she is born to finally decide.

We also scheduled our 4d ultrasound, Uncle John is covering it. Lyss really wants to see her so we are going to take her, the ultrasound is June 20th. Can't wait to see our little baby girl!

And I think almost all my baby showers are scheduled or close to it, now I just need to update my registry!
