30 weeks and counting :)
Sorry it has been so long since I last posted. Things have been crazy here. I am finishing the semester up at school (one more month to go) and busy prepping for Miss Madalyn's arrival. I am exhausted and so ready to meet my little peanut! But the good news is that after a few rough weeks- I have a healthy baby growing inside of me that has decided to just stay put for a while longer.
I have a feeling I am going to miss her big kicks inside me when she arrives, but I sure can't wait to see her sweet face and get to know her. She is already loved so much and I can't imagine not having her in my life.
As of today, I am 30 weeks and 3 days along. I am feeling bigger than ever and have had 2 weeks of bed rest and an entire day of contractions, not to mention the wonderful Braxton Hicks. We are living with Tom's parents while we wait for the purchase of our first home to go through. We are happy and healthy and excited, nervous and tired.
Baby is this big:
These last two ultrasounds were taken at 27 weeks 5 days:
Mommy looks like this:
Mady weighs just over 3 pounds and is about 16 inches long.
Her eyes are getting more and more focused.
She doesn't like loud noises and kicks mommy every time something scares her.
She kicks after Mommy eats chocolate.
Madalyn has found mommy's ribs.
Mommy now knows what it feels like to have her hiccup.
This little girl is so very loved.
I simply can't wait to meet her.
In the next post, I will share photos of the baby shower my amazing Aunt put on for me in Denver! I feel so grateful to have such a wonderful and supportive family. I can't wait until we are all together again to celebrate her arrival.

18 weeks!
Baby is the size of a:
Baby is slathered in a greasy, waxy, cheese-like substance known as vernix caseosa to keep it from bruising, abrasions, and chapping caused by amniotic fluid exposure.
Baby is on the move quite often and it makes mommy very happy :)
Baby can now hear mommy and daddy talking.
Baby also responds to music.
Mommy:
Mommy is feeling better than ever.
Mommy is loving feeling the baby move.
Mommy's ligaments are growing every day and hurt a lot (but it is worth it).
Mommy has her 20 week (19 really) next week. We are making sure baby has all 10 fingers and all 10 toes, and see its little nose. Mommy can't wait!!!
Dearest Baby,
Everyday I feel you more and more. You are one active baby, moving around constantly, dancing and rolling around. I fall more and more in love with you each time I feel you. I can't wait to meet you. I have been waiting for this for so long and am determined to enjoy every moment I have with you, even if you are still just growing inside my belly. I get to see you in just a few days, make sure you have all your fingers and all your toes. I will get to see and hear your heartbeat (it is the sweetest sound to my ears and to my heart). You are already so loved. I can't imagine how things will be when you are here, but I know no matter what you are going to be loved beyond words. I just wanted you to know how much I love you. I can't wait for you to be here. To see those eyes, and have your fingers wrap around mine, to hear you cry (I promise to remember that when you are crying ALL the time), to have you cuddle with me. Keep dancing baby T! I love you.

16 weeks!!!!!
Baby is the size of an....
Baby is moving at night... feels like little butterflies moving on the right side of the tummy just below the belly button.
Baby's eyes are close to their final position and its possible that baby can hear mommy and daddy when they talk.
Baby's heart is now pumping 25 quarts of blood each day and it will only pump more as time goes on.
Mommy is doing wonderful.
She has quite a cold this past week but seems to finally be getting over it.
She is still craving bacon and potatoes.
She is getting so excited for see the baby on February 8th.
Mommy's belly is growing everyday and can feel her ligaments stretching.
Mommy also has more energy and doesn't always require a nap everyday.

14 WEEKS!!!!
BABY:
Our little bean is the size of a....
Our bean is growing big and strong everyday.
Baby is busy with thumb sucking, toe wiggling, and (not so cute but equally amazing) making urine and breathing amniotic fluid as the liver kidneys and spleen continue to develop.
Lanugo is growing all over the body for warmth.
Baby at 13 weeks
You can see the bean putting its hand on its head. Our little bean has attitude already :)
Mommy:
Finally feels like she has "popped"
Feels like she can feel the baby moving around, soft little flutters.
Has kidney stones, but is finally starting to feel better.
Is thankful for daddy's back and neck rubs and bubble baths.
Is craving bacon, anything potatoes and sandwiches with lettuce, mayo, pickles and dijon mustard.
Is loving being pregnant and can't wait for the next 26 weeks.
