Baby Girl Cecil- 32 Weeks

I am not very good at taking pictures but, my grandparents came to visit a couple weeks ago and I don't think much has changed with this belly of mine since then. Here is a picture of this tummy that is going to continue to grow over the next couple weeks. I am 32 weeks and I can't believe it. Little girl is moving so much and it is so fun to feel her. Eric keeps joking that she is ready to be out of there but we are going to keep her in for at least 7 more weeks most definitely. Once we hit that 39 weeks this little girl has my permission to come when she is ready.
How Far Along?
32 Weeks!! We are so close!

Baby Size?
She is the size of a squash. Last time we went to the doctor, the doctor said she is about 3 1/2 pounds.

Sick?
Not sick, just getting super uncomfortable which is to totally be expected. The heartburn is pretty bad but something I can deal with. 

Showing?
Oh yeah... 

Maternity Clothes?
Just wearing whatever will fit at this point which is not much besides dresses and skirts.

Movement? 
All the time! Makes me so happy to feel her moving around and her daddy loves feeling her. She has her times during the day where she is super active and I can always count on her moving around.

Making me Sick?
Nothing right now! Eating mostly everything!

Craving?
Turkey Sandwiches, cereal, mexican and chinese food of course, and lemonade is a staple.

Happy, Sad, or Moody?
I have my days but mostly very very happy!

Looking Forward to...
Going to Utah tomorrow for a baby shower and then coming home and finishing up everything for her little arrival. There is still lots to be done but we are getting there. We are also excited for our ultrasound coming up to see how big this little girl really is. We are going to be a mommy and daddy so soon and we couldn't be more excited.

Crafting

It has been so hot in Texas this summer and I have been avoiding going outside at all costs. I have been staying inside with my water and doing things around my house. When Eric and I moved to Houston in January 2014, I was so worried about becoming bored. I had online school to keep me busy and then I started watching a friends baby 3 times a week and serving as YW President which kept me on my feet for sure. Needless to say, I never got bored while living in Houston. However, when we made the decision to move to Fort Worth, I knew that there were going to be a long couple of months before the baby comes. I am graduated so there is no school to be done anymore and I had to stop watching my friends baby and serving as YW president because of the move. I thought about getting a job with my degree but no one is going to hire me for 3 months and I do not have a calling yet. Now that we are settled, it is so hot outside that I spend my days inside getting ready for baby girls arrival and crafting. This week, I made a wreath for our front door and worked on some bows for baby girl. Days get long in this heat and being pregnant but I only have 10 more weeks and she will be here. I am soaking in sleeping in, taking naps, reading, and just relaxing before her little arrival. I know life will be crazy when she gets here but I couldn't be more excited to stay home with her and be her mommy. Here are some pictures of the crafts that I did this week. Can't wait to make more crafts over the next couple of weeks for our little girls nursery.

Baby Girl Cecil- 28 Weeks

I have officially hit my third trimester and it is all becoming so real! I can't believe that I am going to have a little girl in my arms in just 12 weeks. Eric and I are getting into gear and are getting her room all ready over the next couple weeks. Little girl has a mommy and daddy that are so anxious to get her here. When I hit that third trimester, I started to get a little bit overwhelmed thinking of all the things that I need to get done before she gets here. Over the past week I have been washing the clothes that she has and getting them hung up in her closet and in her new dresser.

How Far Along?
28 Weeks!! Third Trimester!

Baby Size?
Baby girl is the size of an eggplant! 

Sick?
No! I am feeling so good. Started to get a little bit uncomfortable but that is to be expected.

Showing?
Absolutely! I am carrying her all in the front and everyone can tell that I am pregnant. 

Maternity Clothes?
I am not wearing actual "maternity clothes" but am living out of Zella work out clothes and leggings and J Crew t-shirts. 

Movement?
Yes!! She makes this mommy so happy when she is moving around. I keep telling her daddy that we have a little dancer in there. Maybe she will take after her mommy and want to dance. 

Making me Sick?
Nothing is making me sick but I haven't been a major lover of meat throughout this pregnancy.

Craving?
Mexican food, Chinese food, Watermelon, and Lemonade! 

Happy, Sad, or Moody?
Happy! Happy! Happy!

Looking Forward to...
Continuing to feel baby girl move around, finishing up getting her nursery and everything else ready for her arrival, traveling to Utah in a couple weeks for a baby shower, and Eric and I look forward to our doctor appointments every 2 weeks now. We are so close to meeting this little girl and we CAN'T WAIT!

The wedding pictures are back and the photographer captured the day perfectly. Thanks to Brandon at brandonburkphotography.com we have these fabulous memories. Here are some of my favorites from this exciting day...
