Week 32

Dad put your crib together this week! We had so much fun hanging out in your nursery and talking all about you. We are both so incredibly excited to meet you and to start life with you. We're still gathering little decorations for your nursery and haven't decided if we like the paint color yet but it's fun to know that we're close and that all of the big things are in place! It's been so fun to take our time and just enjoy each stage of the nursery and preparing for you. I love dreaming about you along the way!

We planted our garden this week! I'm so excited to feed you yummy, fresh, healthy foods from out there. I shoveled lots of dirt and your dad kept an eye out to make sure I didn't overdo myself. He's very sweet and protective of us. I thought at 32 weeks I would start slowing down but I'm still feeling so great! I'm definitely careful to listen to my body and not put you or I in any danger but as long as I think we're safe, I love being up and active and working in the garden.

I celebrated my 26th birthday this week! We spent the weekend doing lots of my favorite things. We spent time with family and friends and visited some of my favorite places and restaurants. It was such a relaxing and sweet weekend! Your dad knows me so well and was so sweet and loving in all of the little things he planned for the weekend. I can't believe I'm 26, married to the most incredible man, and have a sweet baby girl on the way. I just don't know how life can get any better than this. 26 feels good!! I can't believe you will be here with us for the rest of my birthdays!!

You are so so loved,
Momma

Dad put your crib together so quickly and easily! I was impressed:) ...he did have a cute little helper though.

Week 31

We got to see you again this week! We watched you practice swallowing and they told us you are head down right now. I don't know if you're going to stay that way until you come out but it's fun knowing where you're at in there and whether I'm feeling little kicks or little punches. During our sonogram we also got to see a little peek of your fuzzy hair! I can't wait to kiss that fuzzy little head of yours! I'm so curious how much hair you will have. Dad was a baldy and I had hair for days. I'm so excited for your birth day and all of these little surprises we will get.

Dad and I stopped by the store this week to fix a few things on our registry and we saw the cutest little bathing suit. We both fell in love with it immediately and just could not leave the store without it. We bought one in size 6 months. It's hard to believe you could ever possibly fit in a new born size! We held it up and couldn't believe anything could ever be that tiny. Even the three month size was hard to comprehend haha. I can't wait to see you in that little suit!! This is going to be such a fun summer with you!

We also made one last trip to Disneyland before our passes expire! We had so much fun just moseying around and relaxing at "the happiest place on earth". I couldn't ride on very many rides but it was still one of our best days at Disneyland. We saw so many babies around the park and got excited thinking about how our next trip to Disneyland will be WITH you! We love Disneyland and hope you have as much fun making memories there as we do!

You are so loved,
Momma

 Your first pair of Mickey ears;)

Week 30

We finished your baby registry this week! We had so much fun browsing through the store and picking out all of your little things. We had a few confused moments where we realized we had no idea about some of the things we were "supposed" to be registering for. It was fun and we got a crash course lesson in all things breast pump, bath tubs, and bouncers. It's amazing how many baby products are out there! We've been told by a few seasoned parents not to be fooled and that we don't actually need much to take good care of you. That was comforting! ...But we're still excited about all of the adorable little things we saw! ;)

You're the size of a butternut squash this week! You're really growing in there. I love it! I've been getting lots of heartburn this week. I thought I had experienced heartburn before but nothing compares to this kind of heartburn! I've been a little more mindful of what I've been eating and it seems to be going away already:) Tums are my friend this week! I heard an old wives tale that heartburn is correlated to hair growth. We shall see!

You are so loved,
Momma
