Ah! Time is flying by! I cannot believe we have less than 9 weeks left until our little guy's arrival! Each day that goes by I get more & more excited! 


How far along?  31 weeks
Total weight gain:   about 22 pounds 
Maternity clothes?   yes! I didn't buy as many as I anticipated! I wear a lot of my regular shirts still!
Stretch marks?  Not yet & hopefully never! 
Movement?  Yes all the time! He's an active little baby! 
Sleep? Pretty well! Toss & turn some & still wake up at random times to pee! Thanks little one for thinking my bladder is a comfy place to chill!
Best moment this week:   Receiving some gifts that were mailed! 
Miss Anything?   Wine & having my clothes fitting me well
Food cravings:   Potatoes & juice of all sorts
Anything making you queasy or sick:   nope! 
Starting to show yet? Absolutely! My belly grew tons right around Thanksgiving! 
Gender:   BOY!! 
Labor Signs:   Having what I believe are Braxton Hicks contractions here & there but nothing serious at all
Symptoms:   Heartburn & baby sitting on my sciatic nerve! 
Belly Button in or out?   In
Wedding rings on or off?   On
Happy or Moody most of the time:   Happy! 
Looking forward to:  Decorating the nursery, picking up the crib & getting it put together! 

I cannot believe I'm 31 weeks along already! I feel like we still have so much to do & yet have a bunch done at the same time! Our crib finally came in! All we need is someone with a truck to go with us to pick it up! Can't wait to put it together & start getting the nursery organized! I have also been working on painting the wooden letters of his name to hang on the wall! They're almost done & drying as I type! We also got the stroller Greg's parents bought us! It goes with our car seat & is super sweet! We got it out & opened up & the travel system set up!

On another note we decorated for Christmas last weekend! I love the holidays & everything that comes along with them! Hot cocoa out of a snowman mug, Christmas lights, music, movies! Last weekend, Greg & I definitely watched 5 Christmas movies in one day! Awesome! 

Here's some of our decorations!

Gosh I love Christmas time! It's different being in Germany with different traditions & far from family! But we are working on making traditions for our little family that we can continue once our little guy is finally here for the holidays!
