Baby Shower

My sweet friend, Katie Marie, threw us a shower for Baby Boy Gray (or "baby brother" or "the beach ball" as we like to call him around here) a few weekends ago. It was so much fun catching up with friends and eating all the baby themed goodies. Blue punch and petite fours were a hit with the crowd...especially Madison! We got some wonderful goodies and are so grateful for the generosity of our friends and family. Madison made her baby brother a Build-A-Bear that she gave me at the shower. We were so excited about the bedding (thanks Mom, Dad, and Annie) that we set it up in the crib as soon as we got home! I promise a post soon with some pictures of the nursery progress.

32 weeks...big, big, big

Boy oh boy, this baby boy is getting big! Madison can't even fit her arms around me anymore!

How far along: 32 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: +22 pounds
Maternity clothes: Yes!
Sleep: Pretty good most nights. Changing positions has gotten a little bit tricky, but once I find a comfy position I can sleep like a baby!
Best moment this week: Relaxing at the beach with some great girl friends!
Movement: Baby boy is very busy and now we can actually identify the body parts.
Cravings: Popsicles and hummus, but obviously not at the same time.
Gender: BOY!
Labor Signs: Lots of Braxton-Hicks contractions, but none of the real thing.
Belly Button in our out? Sadly...out and there is no hiding it. You can see it through my shirts :(
What I miss: Not much, maybe just laying flat on my back
What am I looking forward to? Snuggling my sweet little buddy.
Weekley Wisdom: Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate...keeps the braxton-hicks contractions at bay.
Milestones: For some reason, rounding the 30 week corner seemed like a big milestone to me.
