How far along? 28 Weeks!!! Yay 3rd Trimester here we come!!
Total weight gain: 18
Maternity clothes? Yes!
Stretch marks? Not yet :)
Sleep: sleep?? what is that? I can't fall asleep at night even though I'm soooo tired!
Best moment this week: Snagging a FABULOUS Diaper deal =) Gotta love saving money!
Miss Anything? Missing some of my old clothes... I'm determined to see them again one of these days:)
Movement: She has been playing with my ribs here lately... Doesn't feel so great!
Food cravings: Nothing crazy this week

Happy or Moody most of the time:  Emotions seem to be high here lately!! Poor Chris!
Looking forward to: Still waiting on Madilyn's nursery furniture! I'm so anxious! And we get to see her this weekend in our 3d/4d ultrasound! I'm so excited to see her again!





I had another session with our Photographer (Beth Harrison Photography) this past weekend and we got some really good shots! I first went around 20 weeks but the bump looked more like I had a heavy lunch! Mom went with me this time and we had such a great time snapping photo's of Maddie AKA "the bump"! She sent us a few shots early and we already love having them. I can't wait to show Madilyn when she gets here.


Also, I scored a great deal on Huggies Diapers! After going to 3 different stores I finally scored 14 boxes of diapers! It's funny how excited this made me! I took my mother along with me to help. We had so much fun trying to get the good deal. I'm sure people around us thought we were crazy!! It was fun and we saved some major dough!!


I can't believe we are already here at the 3rd trimester... Where has the time gone?! I feel like I was just sitting on the couch contemplating on how I was going to tell Chris that I was pregnant... It was the scariest/happiest day of my life. I'm so ready to have her here with us, but I'm also a little sad that we are coming to the end of this great time in our lives! I'm going to try and enjoy the rest of my time with Maddie and soak it all in. She will be here in 10-12 weeks!! Aghhhhhh!!!


OK enough rambling for this week... Time to go grab a bowl of ice cream:)
