Carrying Chase: 30 weeks

I am a little over 30 weeks along now. I had to take pics tonight to show you how big this belly is. We just at at Rio Grande (Uncle Julio's) so perhaps that is why I am so large? Yeah, I didn't think you would take that excuse.

Chase has had the hiccups lately. It cracks me up! He is also kicking. rolling, and growing everyday. It's no wonder my back and sciatic nerve are killing me! I am carrying some large cargo. I have trouble getting off the couch and out of bed. If I have to pick something up off the floor, I wince. I am learning to just leave whatever it is on the floor because it isn't worth the pain and effort to bend over anymore. If I have to squat or if I am sitting on the floor, Matt has to hoist me up. It makes me feel so unattractive!

It's labor day weekend and we have made so much progress in the house. We have gone through 3 closets and gotten rid of junk that we don't need or use anymore. We also went through the storage shelves in the basement and organized everything. We now have everything in it's place and it feels so good. Now we know where everything is. My next challenge is to go through the thousands of photos that I have in boxes down there. I swear, I must have taken photos every weekend of college. I chalk it up to being in a sorority where all we knew was to pose for photos. We had a photographer at every social and event for Pete's sake! It was like our own form of paparazzi!

Ok, on to the belly pics!

30 weeks

Becky and KK threw me a baby shower with all of my girlfriends last weekend. It was beautiful! Every detail was adorable! Becky is so creative. She made candy labels and water bottle labels expecially for the shower to match the invitation. There was a little bit of chaos at the beginning because while everyone was on their way to the 3:30 shower, Becly and KK's power was out! So we had to change plans at the last minute and have everyone over to Sean and Aelin's house. Thank goodness Aelin keeps the house so perfect and ready for company 24/7. It was gorgeous and actually turned out perfect there. Their house is so nice for entertaining. I felt like a princess all day. I got so many adorable outfits and things for Chase. I came home and washed everything and put it all away in his dresser and closet already. I couldn't be more excited!

It was nice to have Julia there too! She is about 2 weeks or so behind me and we were showing off our bellies together! I love having her to talk to as we go through all the stages of pregnancy together!

I am 29 weeks here

Liz and Emma made the best cupcakes! I ATE THREE OF THEM!

Becky made little martini glasses of pickles and ice cream! She made sure it was Breyer's Chocolate Ice Cream (my favorite pregnancy craving). I don't like pickles really, but it was a cute pregnancy staple!
