30 weeks

Photo courtesy of my iMac which is so embarrassing. I need to get real ones done, but I'm lazy or pregnant and tired.

Crazy. That's all I can say. This is the most surreal thing I've ever experienced, that's for sure. I love every morning when I think how gross I feel and then feel a little kick and remember why (and yes, some mornings I forget, or it seems like a dream.) It's wonderful to wake up everyday with a smile on my face :)
I've had lots of requests for updates, but I'm not sure what to say. So I'm still pregnant. Yay! I've had absolutely no complications and have felt wonderful (until I got sunburned a couple weeks ago at Bear Lake...that's another story. I'll just say, it STILL itches! and hallelujah for apple cider vinegar!) Zach has valiantly been painting, adding molding, and closet remodeling the nursery. We just got the last major thing we were waiting for, our glider. We still need a few finishing touches, curtains and a rug mainly (and a baby, of course), but it's pretty much done. It's heaven to be in there. I will get pictures up soon, I promise. After we finished the messy part of the nursery we got down some of the things we've collected for our kids. Over the years I would let myself buy something once or twice a month as sort of my coping method. I would always say that I could always give it away at a baby shower, but I never did. Well, it adds up. Let me tell you.
But getting those items down and cleaned up, hung up, put in place. Ah. The sweetest experience ever. I get teary eyed just thinking about it. It's so awesome to look at our collection of goods (mostly clothes, tiny clothes are hard to resist) and try to picture our little girl in them. It's just completely unreal.
I had a 30 week checkup today, everything looked great. At 20 weeks Abbey measured a week bigger and he said the same today, we'll see.
I'm not really sure what else to share, if you have questions, leave them in the comments :)
Nursery pictures hopefully tonight!

I'm so glad you posted this picture. It's the first time I've seen you pregnant! You look fantastic! Can't wait for that little girl to arrive!

Megs said...

You finally look pregnant! Before you were just small and not showing and I was jealous.
I can't wait to see the nursery...so exciting.
I'm still so happy & excited for you two...what a wonderful blessing.
Happy for the update - happy to read about the wonderful sickness and the wonderful kicks - the kicking was always my favorite part. You, as a mother, develop a bond with the baby long before it is born and that is the greatest blessing.
Enjoy it, it sounds like you are. Great!

You are beautiful. I love the nursery too. Good job!

Jill said...

I'm still so excited for you! I wish I got that nursery-prep bug. I've never had it with any of my kids and I suppose I miss it just a little. Mostly because I'm sick of digging clothes out of boxes. Oh well. That's me. And this is about you, not me. Sorry.
You look so happy and fulfilled. Again, I am THRILLED for you to meet Abbey!!!
