29 weeks - exhausted already!

Yikes! I am playing catch-up for the last 5 weeks! It has been crazy crazy with the move, the baby shower and everything in between so we haven't had time to get a belly picture in. But look! Little missy Violet decided to pop in while we were taking pictures, so I decided she could stay. :)

We are just settling into the new place and we love it! The house is still in boxes, but we are functioning now. We won't be able to start Hunter's room for another few weeks, but I am so excited to get started for when we do. We had the family over for a Thanksgiving feast this last Thursday and that means the house will be filled with Christmas soon and it is just the start of ... yummy yummy food! Hunter and I will be so happy :)

My foot is doing better now - It is funny because it was starting to heal and then during the move I dropped a piece of wood on the EXACT spot where it was hurting - so the swelling and the pain came back with a vicious force. But it has been about two weeks since and I think it is completely healed! It is a miracle. There is just a touch of swelling, but it has gone down a lot. I love being able to walk around the house and function, not to mention I won't be waddling as much. NOW if I could just keep things away from it I will be in the clear. 

In two weeks Olympia 2nd ward is throwing Hunter and I a baby shower. I can't wait! I am going to miss seeing everyone on Sunday every week, but Hunter, Brandon and I will have to stop by and visit.

................................................................................................................................................

How far along? 29 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: + 28 pounds
Pants fit? absolutely nothing fits right - it drives me crazy
Pregnancy symptoms: Heartburn every once and awhile. Peeing like a mother all the time. Little bit of swelling on my right foot.
Sleep: Getting lots of sleep - like an angel :)
Best moment this week: Being in the new house and settling in. Imagining life here with a new baby Hunter.
Miss Anything? My clothes fitting. I am getting pretty frustrated.
Movement: Yep! He is a busy bugger.
Food cravings: Hot cocoa and slurpee's still. Really ice cream still too. Starting to crave chocolate a lot more than I usually do. Thank goodness it is the Holiday Season! :D
Anything making you queasy or sick: Bacon if I make it on the skillet because it hangs around in the air too long, but other than that - No! yay!
Have you started to show yet: I got myself a nice round bump - good old third trimester.
Happy or Moody most of the time: I am a little less silly lately from all the stress of the move, but I wouldn't say I have had horrible mood swings yet.
Looking forward to: The ward baby shower in two weeks! and Christmas.
Stretch marks? Nope - not yet. Fingers crossed.
Wedding rings on or off? On, but its starting to get a little tight.
Labor Signs: Nope - better not!
Belly Button in or out? Definitely out - it looks like it has a tongue, lol.
Last Doctor Visit Update: So far so good! The midwife wants us to start looking into birthing classes or at least start watching videos. That would be a good idea I guess. hee hee. 

The baby shower - Thanks everyone!

Audrie and Jenna (Sanny helped too!) put together just the CUTEST baby shower for Hunter and I on November 10. Complete with elephants, hot cocoa and adorable baby things. We are so grateful for everyone that came - it was sooo much fun!

We are getting ready to party party - It was so fun to see everyone! It was quite the little shin dig. Audrie even put together a raffle: If the ladies brought a freezer meal, a pack of diapers or gift cards for the eat to eat fund, they had a chance to win a $15 Amazon.com gift card. I believe cousin Sandy won! I was happy to sit and chit chat with everyone and stand by while they played all the cute games. I did participate in one - I was a prop as you'll see below, ha ha.

Just look at all the yummy things - I requested a Hot Cocoa bar and they more than fulfilled that craving. Homemade white and regular hot chocolate with all the fixins a girl could ask for. Plus muffins, quiche, cookies, breads and cotton candy!

We played a little rely race game where the ladies had to 'get me ready for a baby's dr. appointment while running late' This is what I looked like at the end of it - I can't wait to be a Mom! ha ha. Patty ended up being the winner with I think a whopping minute and 9 seconds!

Us girls at the shower that went to high school together - Sandra (*ahem 'Sanny'), Emily, Jenna, me and Cassi! (Cassi is due with a baby girl any day now, isn't she cute?) We were being a bit silly.

Isn't this cute? Audrie made up a little card with me and Brandon's baby pictures (Since we were in the middle of moving, this was the only picture of me little I could find, lol!). Everyone had to guess what noses and toes little Hunter's will have. I say Hunter has Brandon's nose, Brandon's toes and my eyes. Perfect, right? ;)

Sisters! Me and my sissy hanging out before the baby shower. :)

We got so many wonderful gifts for Hunter - I can't wait to wash all the clothes and put everything away. I'll tell you what though - he is going to be one handsome stud. I. can't. wait to see him all decked out! Oh and the huge gift in the corner was from my Mom and Audrie - I was so surprised to see my Mom's hand writing on the card. Made my day.
