32 Week Survey-Baby O #2
How far along? 32 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: +1, up to 167 lbs. 26 lbs. total. Had gained 31 lbs. total with Graydon at 32 wks along. Only 5 lbs. behind!! Catching up! I am sure Christmas is going to change that....
How big is baby? Baby weighs 3.75 pounds (pick up a large jicama) and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You're gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, she'll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb. She now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). Her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth.. - Baby Center
Maternity clothes? Yes, mostly. Except for my pajama pants or shorts, or sweat shirts...or sweaters I wear over almost everything.
Sleep: Waking up constantly now to readjust. This past week hasn't been too bad.
Best moment this week: The best moment this week was definitely having our Christmas with the Grants and the Martinos!
Movement: Yes, a lot, it has been hurting more and more lately.
Food cravings: Sweets, OJ
Food aversions: Nothing anymore really.
Gender: Baby girl!
Labor Signs: Still having strong BH a lot.
Symptoms: Tired. Contractions. Heartburn. Fun stuff! :)
Belly Button in or out? It's flat/out a bit.
Wedding rings on or off? I would love to be able to keep them on this time around. We will see!
Stretchmarks? Just around my belly button.
How are you feeling? Tired and looking forward to this next week of Christmas festivities so that next week I can rest, lol.
What I am looking forward to: Opening presents with our families!
What I miss: Not worrying about the Holidays.
Weekly Wisdom: Don't wait until the last minute for your shopping!
Milestones: 32 weeks....Christmas is almost over...crazy!
Pregnancy Moments with Chris and others: I thought I would be better about remembering this stuff.....

31 Week Survey- Baby O #2
How far along? 31 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: +0, up to 166 lbs. Probably because of all the walking we did in Chicago this past weekend! 25 lbs. total. Had gained 30 lbs. total with Graydon at 31 wks along.
How big is baby? Baby measures over 16 inches long. He weighs about 3.3 pounds (try carrying four navel oranges) and is heading into a growth spurt. He can turn his head from side to side, and his arms, legs, and body are beginning to plump out as needed fat accumulates underneath his skin. He's probably moving a lot, too, so you may have trouble sleeping because your baby's kicks and somersaults keep you up. - Baby Center
Maternity clothes? Yes, mostly. Except for my pajama pants or shorts, or sweat shirts...or sweaters I wear over almost everything.
Sleep: Waking up constantly now to readjust. Sometimes it is hard to go back to sleep. I am exhausted!
Best moment this week: This past week was awesome! Friday morning Graydon went to his Grandparents house and we took off for a trip to Chicago. We visited the Christkindlmarket, had lunch at Gino's East (YUM for Chicago style deep dish pizza!), visited the original Marshall Fields aka Macy's and saw the Walnut Room with the huge tree, had dinner at Bandera with Chris's boss and wife, son and DIL, then hung out with them the rest of the evening. Saturday morning Chris had to work for a couple of hours so I shopped up State St. by myself and went to the Market again. We had a late sushi lunch then shopped up and down the Magnificent Mile for a couple of hours. Had dinner with our good friends/MI parents at The MarketHouse, then went to Andy's Jazz Club for the remainder of the night. Sunday we slept in a bit and then packed up. Had a late breakfast at Yolk and then got on our train to head home! We stopped at the Outlets quick in MI City for some last minute Christmas deals and then were on our way to get Graydon and our dog Niles. We got home pretty late last night. I am SPENT today!
Movement: Yes, a lot, it has been hurting more and more lately.
Food cravings: Nothing in particular that I can think of right now, but I definitely have a sweet tooth. The one thing I have to have every day is OJ though!
Food aversions: Nothing anymore really.
Gender: Baby girl!
Labor Signs: Still having strong BH on and off. This weekend was hard with us walking all over!
Symptoms: Tired. Contractions. Heartburn. Fun stuff! :)
Belly Button in or out? It is pretty flat now.
Wedding rings on or off? Still on and for a long time hopefully. :)
Stretchmarks? I have noticed that the ones around my belly button are getting worse. They are getting stretched out from before. I did not get them until the very end with Graydon and you could hardly notice them. They pretty much went away after that, but since they were still sort of there, they have really popped up now. Oh well!
How are you feeling? SO tired!! :) It is hard work having all that fun!
What I am looking forward to: Finishing my Christmas shopping/treat and cookie baking/getting everything wrapped. Too much to do and not enough time!
What I miss: SLEEP! lol
Weekly Wisdom: Treasure every moment with your kids. Time is so precious.
Milestones: 31 weeks, and getting closer. Time is flying, especially since it's the Holidays!
Pregnancy Moments with Chris and others: Gahhh I know that there were so many but do you think I can remember any of them?! haha
I wanted to take one in Chicago but sort of forgot about it...here is one from home!

30 Week Survey- Baby O #2
Total weight gain/loss: +3, up to 166 lbs. 25 lbs. total. Had gained 29 lbs. total with Graydon at 30 wks along.
How big is baby? Baby's about 15.7 inches long now, and she weighs almost 3 pounds (like a head of cabbage). A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds her, but that volume will decrease as she gets bigger and takes up more room in your uterus. Her eyesight continues to develop, though it's not very keen; even after she's born, she'll keep her eyes closed for a good part of the day. - Baby Center
Maternity clothes? Yes, mostly. Except for my pajama pants or shorts, or sweat shirts...or sweaters I wear over almost everything.
Sleep: Waking up a lot in the night to readjust but can usually fall right back asleep. Last night I had to get up and use the bathroom around 2:30 AM for the first time in months!!
Best moment this week: There were SO many! Thursday night we had our girls Holiday party and that is always a good time. We do an ornament exchange and this year I got a little cow...it is so cute...and fitting, haha! It says Mooey Christmas on it, and on the "milk jug" says 2012. Everyone thought it was pretty funny that I got that, and so did I! It is also sentimental because a coworker who I think a lot of was the person who had brought it. Friday night we celebrated my MIL Jeanne's bday and went out to dinner. Graydon stayed the night with them that night which is always a nice little break for us! Saturday morning we were on the move early. Christmas shopping, lunch at PF Chang's with Chris's boss Fred and wife Sharon, and then we went and saw Lincoln with them. Afterward we went to my entire office work party, then on to pick up Graydon. Sunday we went to church, grocery shopped, cleaned, laundry, all that fun stuff. I guess that stuff wasn't the best, but it has to get done sometime! I have been busy every night either doing hair or nails, but I think I am officially done for the Holidays, woo hoo!
Movement: Yes, a lot, it has been hurting more and more lately.
Food cravings: Oatmeal, OJ, cheese, apples, chocolate, Christmas Tree Cakes<---- br="br" lol="lol" nbsp="nbsp" seriously="seriously">
Food aversions: Nothing anymore really.
Gender: Baby girl!
Labor Signs: I keep having contractions occasionally...not the BH like I had with Graydon, much more painful. Now they happen even when I'm not doing anything and they are totally random. I mentioned them to the doctor and she said that I'm fine and that it's normal. Some pregnancies you have more contractions than others and if they aren't getting even more painful and leading to labor then I'm fine. (ummm ok?) I will trust her and just go with it I guess!
Symptoms: Tired. Contractions. Heartburn. Fun stuff! :)
Belly Button in or out? It is pretty flat now.
Wedding rings on or off? Still on and for a long time hopefully. :)
Stretchmarks? Just around my belly button. I have been good about using lotions and belly balm almost every day.
How are you feeling? Emotional. Ha!
What I am looking forward to: Tomorrow morning we leave for Chicago for a work trip for Chris. We will get a lot of free time though. I am looking forward to so many things there! I am also praying that I can handle all the walking OK.
What I miss: Not having these contractions....I prefer the BH I had with Graydon, lol.
Weekly Wisdom: Things always take longer than you think they will..schedule more time.
Milestones: 30 weeks! 3/4 of the way through!
Pregnancy Moments with Chris and others: I can't think any right now off hand, just random people touching my stomach! :)

29 Week Survey-Baby O #2
How far along? 29 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: -1, up to 163 lbs. 22 lbs. total. Had gained 28 lbs. total with Graydon at 29 wks along.
How big is baby? Your baby now weighs about 2 1/2 pounds (like a butternut squash) and is a tad over 15 inches long from head to heel. His muscles and lungs are continuing to mature, and his head is growing bigger to make room for his developing brain. - Baby Center
Maternity clothes? Yes, mostly. Except for my pajama pants or shorts, or sweat shirts...or sweaters I wear over almost everything.
Sleep: It's starting to get sort of bad. I am getting more uncomfortable and I am now waking up a couple times to readjust during the night.
Best moment this week: Going to Target with Chris, taking Graydon to see Santa, having Chris's parents over for dinner, and then going to Jackson to see Megan, Pat, Amelia and Colette on Sunday! So much fun.
Movement: Yes, a lot!
Food cravings: Comfort type food. Fruit, OJ, ice cream.
Food aversions: Nothing anymore really.
Gender: Baby girl!
Labor Signs: I keep having contractions occasionally...not the BH like I had with Graydon, much more painful. Only happens if I overexert myself it seems. Just trying to be careful.
Symptoms: Tired. And ohh man the heartburn has been kicking in now. Ugh!
Belly Button in or out? It is pretty flat now.
Wedding rings on or off? Still on and for a long time hopefully. :)
Stretchmarks? Just around my belly button. I have been good about using lotions and belly balm almost every day.
How are you feeling? Getting more uncomfortable...and I seem to be very tired all the time lately.
What I am looking forward to:Getting my hair done Wednesday, my Holiday Girls Gathering with my work friends, my work Christmas party on Saturday along with Christmas shopping and seeing the movie Lincoln! Not sure what Saturday holds. Probably cleaning and grocery shopping.
What I miss: Not feeling so tired all the time.
Weekly Wisdom: Rest when you can!
Milestones: In 3rd tri now...still can't believe it!
Pregnancy Moments with Chris and others: Graydon has been touching my belly a lot and talking to "baby sister". I think he felt her move a couple times but I am still not totally sure he understands what is going on. When we visited Megan she let us borrow her doppler so we were playing with that last night and listening to the babies heartbeat, which is pretty cool!! More and more people at my work are slowly finding out that I am not planning on coming back after I have the baby. I am so excited and so sad at the same time. Yesterday Chris said to me, "Next year is going to fly by. The baby will be here, then at the end of Spring I will graduate, then Summer will be here, and Summer ALWAYS flies by. And then before we know it, it will be Fall and the Holidays again." I was like OMGosh stoooooooop it!!! Ahh! I just want to enjoy next year and take in ever moment of getting to stay home with my kiddos. I cannot wait!!
Also, a 2.5 lb. butternut squash seems so huge to me right now. I cannot believe how big the baby is already. And then reality sinks in about how she is going to more than double in the next two months...ahh!! :)
29 Weeks along:
Trying to get a cute pic with Gray by the tree but he wasn't really digging it.
