32 Weeks

Today I am 32 weeks! We are less than 2 months away from our due date! We are still moving in and trying to get settled. I never want to move again!! So much work! It's all worth it now though! Well since last post, I had to deal with another night in the ER trying to deal with kidney stones. This was by far the worst attack of them yet. I had the horrible pain for 2 straight days with no relief. It was pure torture! It was so bad I called off of work and ended up in the ER desperate for them to do anything. I actually thought maybe the stones were too big this time and couldn't pass. I was monitored in L&D for an hour. Baby was great and no contractions! So happy about that! Back in the ER, I was given lousy pain medication, told one stone is the size of 1 cm and that I need to continue with fluids. Boo. I wish there was more they could do. Nick was such a trooper. He missed half the USC game being with me. Well that was Friday night and by Saturday morning....I was passing the stones. Yes....plural...because I probably passed about 30 little ones and one huge one! Eeek! Unfortunately, I will probably have bigger and stronger episodes of this until this baby is out! Well thats the lastest! Right now I am thankful to be painfree and that baby is doing well!

This is the lastest bump pic I have. Taken at 29 weeks. I have sinced popped even more.





31 Weeks

How far along: 31 weeks 2 days
Total Weight Gain: Gained.
Stretchmarks: None...hoping it stays that way.
Sleep: Sleep has been okay. I have good nights and then there's painful nights. With the kidney stone pain keeping me awake all the time. Then there's the round ligament pain that I feel every time I turn. Quite painful. Good thing I am exhausted enough to keep sleeping through most of it. 
Best Moment This Week: We moved into our house this past weekend! We have a lot to do before baby in less 9 weeks (eeek)! but we had so much help moving in. Both our families spent their Sunday helping us move and clean. They were all incredible. I love getting our house put together!!!
Movement: Lots of movement! He arms and legs are all over the place, I can't keep up. It's crazy how they will just protrude out.
Gender: We are having a son....baby boy!!!
Labor Signs: Too early for that! Just Braxton Hicks.
Belly Button: Still in.
What I Miss: I miss wine and that will be a given for the remainder of the pregnancy. I really want to sleep on my stomach. I want to bend and move without bumping into things.
What I am Looking Forward to: Getting the house all unpacked and starting on the nursery. We finally ordered furniture and bedding. Yay! Also looking forward to my baby showers!
Milestones: Baby is 18 inches long and almost 4 lbs! Were in the final trimester!

This picture is too funny...had to share!

Can't believe it is November already! Thanksgiving will be here soon! I am craving a yummy turkey meal!

Well I'll be sure to update again soon. We don't have internet at the house yet and my time is fully devoted to the house. Sorry for long lapse since the last blog...hopefully it won't happen again!
