28 weeks and registry link

Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 28 weeks (3rd trimester!!!!!!)
Size of baby: about 15 inches and 2 1/2ish pounds
Total Weight Gain/Loss: 17 pounds
Maternity Clothes: still a mixture of regular and maternity - definitely prefer maternity
Gender: sweet baby GIRL!
Movement: constantly
Sleep: going pretty well minus bathroom breaks
Symptoms: heartburn at all times and from everything, cramping if I am too active, and back pain has made it's first appearance
What I miss: being able to bend over and pick things up - my belly gets in the way! I also miss being able to sleep anywhere - I have to be surrounded by pillows to be comfortable
Cravings: milk and LOTS of it! Spaghetti, Chickfila, spinach - food in general sounds good almost all day
Best Moment this week: just being over in general
What I am looking forward to: getting into 2012. It's been a bit of a rough week with one bad thing after another. I'm ready for a fresh start.


I CANNOT believe I am in my third trimester. This pregnancy has gone by SO fast, and I'm starting to feel like I have nothing ready. I've made a list of things that need to be done before sweet Quinny and it's quite long. I'm afraid anyone that offers to help with it is going to hate me. :) I'm so thankful for family and friends that are willing to do whatever is on my crazy list though!! Everything will be as perfect as I can get it before she gets here, and I'll be able to relax be sleep-deprived and have nothing to worry about except Quinn!




Ali helped me with a registry at Target a bit ago (Thanks bossy!) :) I had NO idea what I was doing, but we had fun! I had Tiffany go through it afterwards to tell me how crazy I was (Thanks Tiff!!) :) I never knew there were so many baby items. I definitely discovered that's it's a money-making business! I also discovered that we have absolutely nothing except a few cute clothes and a crib.

In other news, if you could say a prayer or just think of my Mom that would be great. I'm not going to elaborate at the time, but she could really use some positive thoughts her way and for them to continue for quite some time. A rough patch is ahead, but I know we'll all get through it and come out so much better!


And because I want to leave it on a happy note - a sweet pair of leggings & pretty bow!
