How Far Along: 34 Weeks
Weight Gain: 17lbs
Maternity Clothes: Of course and just hoping the scrubs that I have make it till she gets here. It isn't looking promising I am running out of room
Stretch Marks: Not yet
Belly button: It has peeped over the edge
Sleep: I don't think I every go into a deep sleep. I guess I am practicing for when she gets here, so that I will hear her every move
Baby Movement: Of course she is seems to be getting a little routine down. She moves a lot a night right when I go to bed. And then she usually wakes up again around 7 in the morning . Maybe this means she has night and day figured out. I doubt it but I can hope right? Oh and she Kicked one of my patients this week. We are really going to have to teach her manners.
Food Cravings: Nothing Really
Milestones: She could be as tall as 20 in. Right now and weigh about 5lbs. Also her fingernails have probably reached the tip of her fingers. This week when I went to the Doctor her heart rate was in the 130s and she seemed to be doing great. My fundal height was 33cm as opposed the the 23cm that it was 2 weeks ago hard to believe I grew so much so fast
This I have been busy busy trying to get everything ready for when she gets here. Momma came down one night and helped me with here bedding and I have also been working on painting the Mural (I guess that is what you call it) in her room. Her crib finally shipped this week too thank goodness. It should be here by the end of the month. This weekend the girls also came to my house for Lunch. We had a great time and we actually remembered to get a group photo this time, although we are missing Elena and Baby Reese, Maybe in a couple of weeks we will have a full group photo

33 Weeks
How far Along: 33wks
Weight Gain: 17lbs
Maternity Clothes: Defiantly
Stretch Marks: Not yet
Sleep: Pretty good
Baby movement: So amazing Still haven't quite figured out what parts are moving across my belly
Food cravings: Nothing in particular
Milestones: She is gaining about a half a pound a week and should be more than 4 1/2 pounds by now. She could grow a full inch in length this week. And supposedly may come close to doubling in weight by Delivery day. Yikes! Antibodies are being passed from me to MaKenna so that she can build up her immune system. .
When I was putting up the new Calendar the other day. I was going through writing important days down for the year (Makenna's Due date) and decided to find out what day Easter was on this year. For those of you who might not know The Easter season is a very special time for me and Zach. Aside from the obvious the fact that it represent the greatest sacrifice and gift that Christ gave to us and we are so very thankful and humble for that. Zach proposed to me on Easter weekend. On an Easter Egg and then we got married one year later on the same weekend. Of course Easter I think was week or so before our wedding that year, But still Easter season.
So anyway I was trying to find out what day Easter was to find out how much Time I would have to make MaKenna's basket and possibly her Easter dress. I was also very excited b/c Zach would be here for her first Easter and we would spend it as a family especially since Easter is a special time for our relationship memories. Well I discovered this year Easter is the Last Weekend in April!!! Have you ever heard of such. I never remember it being that late and I just don't believe they counted the moons or weekends right however they decide when Easter is, and I demand a recount!!!
Here is a little walk down memory lane with some pictures of our Engagement

32 Weeks
How Far Along: 32 weeks
Weight Gain: 15lbs A girl at work who has 2 kids and has a body I wish I had before I got pregnant side she always felt like if you could make it to 30 wks and just gain 20 pounds you didn't have to worry about how much you gain after that b/c it was just water and baby. So I am gonna take her advice and hope she isn't lying to me.
Maternity clothes. Yes
Belly Button: Still hasn't popped
Sleep: it's been ok. I don't do well sitting or laying for long periods of time. Not complaining though b/c I have a feeling that will only become more difficult
Baby Movement: Yes Zach and I now try to guess and feel which part is moving across my belly. We still have no idea though
Food Cravings: Well this week Zach came home and I had cooked and Angel food cake, and ask what it was for. I said I was at the store and decided angel food cake, with strawberries and cool whip would be really good. So I came home and cooked one. That was my bedtime snack about every night last week.
Milestones: I can't believe we are in the 8th month already before we know it she will be here and I am getting a little panicky afraid the furniture won't be in and her bedding will not be finished (which I am making) This week MaKenna Should be around 4lbs and about 19ins long. This week she is practicing and practicing her skills she will need for when she arrives; swallowing breathing kicking sucking. Also this week her skin is no longer transparent. Since more fat is accumulating her skin is beginning to have color just like ours
Memories from the Past Week: New Years Eve Zach and I both had off of work. So we got to work. Zach painted the nursery, Kitchen and worked on our entertainment center. I worked on MaKenna's nursery bedding. Well I guess Zach was a busy bee. I don't have to much result to show yet hopefully soon thought.
This is the main fabric for the nursery and then I also have a brown and cream and Lilac to go with it

These are the colors we chose from I learned from painting the Den that samples were a must before you by the gallon
I am very excited about it I can't wait until it all come together

31 Weeks
How Far Along: 31 Weeks
Weight Gain: 15lbs
Maternity Clothes: Of course
Stretch Marks: Not yet
Belly Button still holding. I am beginning to believe that what they say is true " when the bun is ready the button will pop. B/c I I just don't see how it as held at even for so long. Not that I am complaining not looking forward to putting and ripping off band aids every day.
Sleep: Not too much this week but it has been a very busy week with Christmas!!!
Baby Movement: I believe I could sit and watch her move for hours.
Food Cravings: Nothing specific really I hope that she has had a growth spurt this week b/c I have been extremely hungry!! And this week wasn't a good week to be hungry all the time with all the Christmas goodies that were available. For cry from the fruit and granola that I usually eat during my snacking times :)
Food Aversions: I don't know if you would call it an aversion or not but I have seen and ate enough dressing to last me Forever!! And the dressing thing isn't a pregnancy thing. I know it is unAmerican and especially un Alabamian but Not a big fan of dressing. Its not that I don't like it its just not something that is on my top 100 favorite food list :) And having soo much over the course of Thanksgiving and Christmas well let's just say its just something I smile and eat b/c everyone else loves it so much.
Looking Forward To: Painting the Nursery this next week Zach is off on Friday for New Years Eve and his mean ole wife is putting him to work. Also looking forward to picking out the Fabric there is just to many decisions to be made
Milestones: MaKenna is now 3 plus pounds as you know at the ultrasound they said she was 3lbs 6ozs and now she will start to gain a half a pound every week. Which calculates up to around 8.5 to 9 lbs at birth we shall see!! Which also makes me wonder how much more is Mommy gonna gain. She is about 18in long. Her brain connections are developing fast these days and she is already putting them to could us processing information, tracking light and perceiving signals from all five senses. She is supposedly putting in loner stretches of sleep time but I haven't noticed any of the defined patterns of sleep and awake. or maybe to is sleeping when while she is poking something out just to the right of my belly button still not sure if it is a foot, leg or her rear end.
Here are a Few pictures from Christmas I will post some additional ones up on a slide show just as soon as I figure out how to get them off of my new Camera
