29 and 30 weeks

These last two weeks have been super crazy! We are getting wrapped up with his room! Almost done!!!! We are getting excited for our baby shower next weekend and cannot wait to celebrate our little boy with everyone!

I have been having quite a bit of contractions and cramping. I was in labor and delivery on Thursday while they monitored me for a few hours. They said I basically need to slow down. Our little boy is in a hurry to be here, but he needs to cook a little more. 

At 29 weeks we got to see our boy again, they told me he was already 4 lbs 4 oz! That's about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds bigger than most babies at this point. He popped up 16 days ahead of schedule on the estimated date. The doctor doesn't want to change my due date just yet. They want to see how the next few weeks go, but we are pretty confident we won't make it to 40 weeks with all of the contractions I've been having. 

Other than that things are going good! I just need to slow down and take it a little easier. 

No more toes! 

Here is my most recent completion! His little turtle! 

And last but not least... A sneak peak of his room! It's not completely done yet, but it's almost there!

27 and 28 weeks

We hit the 3rd trimester! Finally! We are in the home stretch and I can't believe we are getting so close to our little guy being here!

Week 27 didn't really hold much excitement. Just a bigger belly! 

Week 28 however, was exciting for us! 

Not only did it mark our 3rd trimester, but we had our 3D ultrasound. It was so neat seeing our little boy in 3D. The place we went to gave us a DVD of the whole session, so we have about 25 mins of our boy on video. We also got a cd full of pictures! The package we got also includes a photo book (which they make so we have to wait for), a maternity portrait session, and a stuffed animal with the baby's heartbeat! It was so neat! I have never really wanted a 3D ultrasound before, I personally think they are kind of creepy, but I am sooooooo glad we did it! We are getting excited for big things coming up such as showers, maternity pictures, and getting the nursery done! 

Here are a few of my favorites from the ultrasound! 

25&26 weeks

The last few weeks haven't been too eventful. We are finally down to double digits and have 3 months (hopefully a little less) to go! Baby boy hasn't had too many new developments, but he sure does love my rib cage! I can tell just by looking at my belly where he is hanging out! It is kind of awesome!

I have been having quite a few Braxton hicks. They are increasing everyday, but aren't painful, just a little startling. We are both doing good! We are hoping to finish painting his room this week and start setting it up. I have been working hard on doing his little craft projects! Below is a picture of his name for his room. These are made with the pages of some Harry Potter books that got ruined last fall. I think it turned out really well and I can't wait to hang them!! 

Here are my belly pics from the last two weeks as well. I don't feel like there was much growth. 

That's all for this week! Almost to the third trimester!
