Getting LARGE - 27 Week Bumpdate

How far along? 27 weeks, 1 day - 90 days to go! That sounds SO close! Ah!
Size of Baby? She is somewhere around the 2 pound mark currently and approximately 14.5 inches long - wow, she's growing like a weed.
Maternity clothes? All bottoms, mix of tops and dresses
Sleep:  Sleep surprisingly has gotten better! Once I got rid of my little sinus funk and could actually breath through my nose, I was set! As the days go by, I realize more and more how much I NEED sleep. I'm physically exhausted by the end of every day.
Best moment this week: Almost 2 weeks ago, definitely was the baby shower! This week's best moment was getting Savannah Jane's crib and dresser. Woo! Finally getting things done over here!
Miss Anything? Exercising like I used to, being able to paint my toe nails without getting winded because of my large belly and having a drink after a LONG day ;)
 Movement: Oh yeah! My favorite part of every single day is when she is just kicking and punching her little heart out in there!
Food cravings: Any and everything really, the last couple weeks have brought on a new found hunger and the scale is certainly reflecting that - yuck!
Anything making you queasy or sick: My heartburn is the only issue currently involving getting sick. She better have a lot of hair like people say!
Gender: Little LADY!
 Labor Signs: I'm not totally sure whether or not I have experienced Braxton Hicks or just serious, random cramping. Too much going on in there to really know!
Symptoms: HA - becoming "uncomfortable." My belly has grown SO much in the last two weeks that I'm really starting to experience what it means to BIG..
Belly Button in or out? TOTALLY in!
Wedding rings on or off? On, thankfully!
Mood: Two words = emotional wreck
Looking forward to: My sister in law is due this coming Monday - I cannot wait to meet little Miss Sadie!!! Also, getting to spend lots of time with our families for Thanksgiving. It's always so nice to have everyone in town even if it's just for a few days! Oh and NEXT week I will be in my THIRD trimester, is this flying by or is that just me?!

Savannah Jane's Baby Shower

Woo! Where do I even start? My amazing mom, sister and best friend Mindy threw Savannah Jane and I the most adorable shower this past Saturday at my parents house! Adorable as in the sweetest flower arrangements, a precious diaper wreath and cake, thoughtful details, and delicious food. They really outdid themselves on this my friends!
What I was welcomed to - how sweet?
                                               
I mean seriously? How sweet is this! Thank you Chels!
It was such a perfect day - gorgeous weather and fabulous friends and family to celebrate our little peanut. It meant the world to me! Not to mention, little princess got her some amazing stuff! It's such a blessing to see everyone get together to show their love and support for Clay and I's sweet baby girl. We are so very thankful! I can't believe she will be HERE in a mere 14 weeks - eeek! I need to get to work. Here are a few action shots from Saturday...
YAY! Grandmo got baby girl a Petunia Pickle Bottom diaper bag!
                                                       Something very funny, clearly!
                                                  Savannah got her very own Vera bag!
                                        The most adorable princess hanging out with Mel!
                                                         2 of the 3 amazing hostesses!
                                         Sweet friends since high school! Love these ladies..

Here are some up close shots of some of Savannah Jane's new goodies... Girlfriend is spoiled already!

No words can describe these - melts my heart!

 Her very first ADORABLE smocked dress! She's officially a true Southerner now folks!
LOADS of books for her nursery!

Thank you to all of our sweet family and friends that was at the shower! You all mean the world to me and we appreciate all of your love and support for our daughter. Now, Dad needs to get to work on adding in the new shelf for her closet - girlfriend has a TON of stuff already! Woo!

Bumpdate - 25 Weeks!

*Pictures from 24 weeks and 25 weeks!
How far along? 25 weeks, 1 day - 104 days to go!
Size of Baby? I was going through the different fruit size comparisons we've gone through over the weeks and couldn't even believe how big she is getting. We went from sweet peas and olives to cantaloupe and now cauliflower - WOW!
Maternity clothes? Totally a mix! Certainly all maternity for bottoms.
Sleep:  Thankfully some days are good and some days are bad. I know it could be worse - so I am definitely thankful for the sleep when I do get it!
Best moment this week: We had someone paint the nursery this week, it looks SO good! First step down, 198327 more to go! Also, noteworthy news! I passed my gluclose test and it was NOT nearly as terrible as people say.
Miss Anything? I honestly miss eating a cold turkey and cheese sandwich so badly! It's the little things people...
 Movement: Little miss priss kicks and/or punches a ton, I absolutely love it!
Food cravings: Still nothing in particular. I certainly haven't had any pickle and ice cream kind of cravings!
Anything making you queasy or sick: HEARTBURN, leg cramps in the middle of the night and extreme exhaustion
Gender: All pink for this bunch!
 Labor Signs: Not yet!
Symptoms: I went to prenatal yoga last week and it was unbelievable. It helped me sleep better, my back pain was gone for several days and I just felt all around much better. But I just can't make it consistantly because Monday nights are pretty crazy right now!
Belly Button in or out? In, I really don't think it's going to pop out - it doesn't look like it will at least!
Wedding rings on or off? On!!
Mood: Good! Just easily frustrated or upset. I can go from perfectly fine to a crying meltdown in less than 45 seconds - it's pretty impressive! :-/
Looking forward to: I'm having my first baby shower this Saturday and am SO pumped! My mom, sister and best friend, Mindy are the lovely hostess' and I just know it's going to be a ball! I am one lucky girl to have such great family and friends!
