Bump: 31 Weeks

In The Womb: 31 weeks
Fruit Size: Pineapple
How I Feel: Getting bigger and bigger by the minute, 38 inches around. On a happy note, my back hasn't been bothering me as much as it normally does; from time to time but not like before. It is getting harder to walk though, every step I feel like I have so much weight to lug around. Baby-Z is very, very active and enjoys belly rubs and to be read to. 
Cravings: Rootbeer (every day this week!)
Weight: 136.7

Baby Shower Fun!

Baby-Z & I were blessed with TWO baby showers! One in California at the Secret Garden Restaurant in Moorpark, CA and the other at Babbo Italian Eatery in Cave Creek, AZ.

Thank you to everyone who has supported our future bundle of joy!

Bump: 30 Weeks

In The Womb: 30 weeks
Fruit Size: Head of Lettuce
How I Feel: Besides getting a scare after having Braxton Hicks contractions with mild cramping, my OB said my cervix is closed, all fluids look great, and baby is really healthy, weighing in at 3lbs. 3oz. I feel worn out all the time now. Tonight, I read Zakk a book and he moved around the whole time. He's such a little bun-in-the-oven of joy!
Cravings: No cravings anymore, maybe these stop after a certain time frame?
Weight: 135.4 (Baby-Z will gain 1/2lb per week from here on out.)

Bump: 29 Weeks

In The Womb: 29 weeks
Fruit Size: Butternut Squash
How I Feel: I was sick the first part of the week but by mid-week felt a lot better. Baby seems to be getting bigger by the minute. Back pain is still there but I've enjoyed the more intense baby kicks and movements. 
Cravings: Nothing out of the ordinary this week.
Weight: 132.4 (lost a pound?)

Bump: 28 Weeks

In The Womb: 28 weeks, 3rd Trimester!
Fruit Size: Egg Plant
How I Feel: Feeling okay but am coming down with a cold; I'm trying to rest but it doesn't seem to help. I'm enjoying my early push present from Baby-Z's dad, a new BMW X1!! It's going to be perfect for Zakkrey and I! I also took up doing mild weight training for my arms and inner/outer thigh area to prepare for baby. Baby-Z's shower was yesterday and it was perfect, I can't wait to set up his nursery!
Cravings: Eggs, Hot Chamomile Tea, Cheese, Fruit
Weight: 132.6 - I'm 38 inches around!
