Nursery Tour

So VERY excited to finally share pictures of Kallen's nursery!! 
 Kevin did such an awesome job painting the night stand and the shelf, as well as hanging everything in the nursery! I don't know what I would do without my handy dandy husband! I love how Kallen's nursery turned out and I can't wait for him to see it!

35 Weeks - Happy Thanksgiving!

How far along? 35 Weeks, 4 Day
Total weight gain/loss: 26 lbs - I just don't even like to look at the scale anymore at my Dr. appointments
Maternity clothes? Oh yes
Stretch marks? None yet, still going strong. I did however switch from coco butter to another cream due to the smell of coco making me sick
Sleep: I try to take a lot of naps, since I'm only sleeping about 2 hour increments
Best moment this week: Spending Thanksgiving with my family! Celebrating my little sisters 24th birthday and decorating the house for Christmas
Miss Anything? Breathing, sitting and laying normally and fitting in my sweats :(
Movement: More so rolls and wiggles - I'm sure he is pretty cramped in there. I will however get the random karate kick in the rib here and there

Food Cravings: Pumpkin - yummmm I have been eating so much pumpkin pie
Anything making you queasy or sick: Smell of coco butter
Gender: Boy
Labor Signs: Still just braxton hicks at night or when I'm too active
Symptoms: Sore ribs, braxton hicks, starting to get swelling in my hands and feet
Belly Button in or out: Still a halfie - the top is out and the bottom is in
Wedding rings on or off: On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy but oooooo so tired
Looking forward to: Our next Dr. appointment on Monday December 1st and celebrating out 2 year wedding anniversary. I can't believe I have been married to my best friend for 2 years already. I guess the saying is true......time flies when you are having fun. I'm one lucky lady to have such an amazing husband, he is going to make the best dad! I can't wait for Kallen to meet his daddy

34 Weeks

How far along? 34 Weeks, 2 Day
Total weight gain/loss: 25 lbs
Maternity clothes? Yes. lots of them :) I'm so happy that it's finally starting to get cold. I've pretty much been living in my maternity leggings - they are so comfy!
Stretch marks? None yet - I've been lathering up with the coco butter - although the smell of it makes me sick!
Sleep: Sleep?? What is sleep? I'm up almost every two hours to use the bathroom. Leo still thinks he needs to sleep on baby brother and is like a brick house when I try to move him. Everyone says it's just preparing me for what's to come
Best moment this week: On Saturday I went shopping with my momma to get all of the last little things that baby Kallen is going to need. My mom has been a life saver and has helped me organize the nursery and finish up all the small final touches.
Miss Anything? I miss being able to sit comfortably, heck I can barley make it for the car ride up to my parents (which is only about 30 minutes!)
Movement: Still very active
especially at night, around 11:00 PM when mama is trying to fall asleep, Kallen is in there having a party! He gets the hiccups a lot, and he gets so mad when he does he will start kicking up a storm
Food Cravings: This week it has been jello
Anything making you queasy or sick: Coffee has been making me very sick, so the mornings at work have become very rough and it takes me forever to wake up. All I want to do is sleep ZZZZZZZ
Gender: Boy
Labor Signs: I've been getting very bad braxton hicks/contractions at night.
Symptoms: Kallen loves to kick mommy in my rib cage, so that has been causing some pain. After a 9 hour day of work, when I get home, my feet are starting to swell
Belly Button in or out: The top is out and the bottom is in. I hate laughing really hard because it pops in and out
Wedding rings on or off: On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy for the most part. I have had some weird emotional days lately where I just want to cry
Looking forward to: I nice relaxing weekend at home. I need to finish washing Kallen's clothes and organizing the kitchen and bath items.
