33 Weeks - 7 weeks until Miss Abby is HERE!

 Only 1 day late this time...WHOOO!

So the highlight of the 4th of July - Look at all the progress we made in the nursery! Still a lot to do, but flooring is in - WHOA BABY! I also painted a wall of insanity, well a gingham wall with 1" tape. 63 vertical stripes and 48 horizontal - WHOA! THANK GOODNESS for the lazer and Kelly...that's all I'm saying!

Floor going in - It's a miracle! I laid 2 of those boards by the way...go me!! 

FLOOR COMPLETE! You can see the base on the far wall as well...It's all cut but not in yet. 

Ron told me I couldn't use the lazer for my horizontal lines b/c , "it's not made to work like that". Well...if you know your lines are 1" apart all you need is a little creativity and lots of things that are 1", 2", 4", 6", 8" to stack your lazer on and you can do whatever you put your mind to! This is our crazy tower to keep using the lazer for horizontal lines. 

So for the gingham wall - 63 vertical stripes, Paint and let dry, remove tape, 48 horizontal stripes, paint and then rip tape off immediately b/c you just want to see your finished work!!! 

I hope Abby likes gingham and lime green b/c this wall is never getting painted...EVER! 

Here is a super flattering pic of me holding my drink with just my belly (If I wasn't holding it with my lips it would fall but still...)

How far along? 33 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: I weighed 144.6 lbs last week - that's 26.6 lbs since before I was preg, 22.6 lbs since my first appointment @ 5 Weeks
Maternity Clothes? I'm so sick of commenting on clothes...I'm going to have to go and buy some actual maternity yoga pants I think b/c I have been trying to read what to bring to the hospital and it says comfy clothes, ummm everything I own is skin tight b/c I've been stretching out everything I own.
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: I can't sleep at all anymore! I wake up every hour to go pee and apparently somebody snuck into our house and replaced our once comfy mattress with marshmellows b/c IT IS HORRIBLE!!!!!! :(
Best moment this week: OMG! Nursery makeover progress - Walls painted, accent wall painted, floors in, base boards cut...need to be primed and painted and installed but that is like seriously leaps and bounds! WHOOO
Have you told family and friends? Is this question still necessary? NO!
Miss Anything? Being comfortable and wearing my clothes, whatever clothes I want! OMG I miss being comfortable! And not crying everytime I try to get dressed!
Movement: YES! Abby is going to be a soccer player, I'm convinced! Now I can SEE it...how creepy! hahaha again - is this question still necessary?
Food Cravings: snowballs, rice krispy treats, twizzlers, sour dough pretzels, acai blueberry popsicles
Anything making you queasy or sick? Meat in general but specifically chicken, no thank you.
Have you started to show yet? UH YEA! These questions are starting to annoy me.......
Gender prediction: We KNOW that Miss Abigail is a girl, hopefully a GIRLY GIRL. At least her room will be girly hahahhaa
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? Still hanging IN there hahahaha
Wedding rings on or off? My rings are off now. :( Going to buy a lovely fake CZ set for myself from the icing so that people know I'm not trailor trash and knocked up out of wedlock.
Happy or Moody most of the time? The one symptom that hasn't left through this entire time is me crying every time I try to get dressed. Soooo yea, I can go from 0-60 in like 3 seconds. WATCH OUT! I'm also even more moody now b/c I can't sleep on anything and also my back is KILLLLLING ME! Also very sad my parents left. Oh and had a breakdown because my boob leaked and we have 7 weeks and nothing is done. I mean this is how my mind went...I need to finish the curtains, oh I can't finish the curtains until the curtain rod is up...order the curtain rod...OMG we can't hang the curtain rod b/c the windows aren't painted! Proceed to sit on the ground and ball for 30 min and hyperventilate.
Weekly Wisdom: Ummm start the nursery way earlier and don't move when you're pregnant! Tooo many things to do that you don't even realize need to be done. Also shop on craigslist/thrift stores for as much as you can - babies are expensive and they use things for like 5 minutes!
Looking forward to: Getting this baby out of me. hahahahahahahahaha

Weekly Wisdom: My wisdom for this week is this: I wanted to badly to have a summer baby b/c I hate it when it's cold outside on my bday. We are having a summer baby but the end of summer was STUPID! Next time, compromise for both baby future happiness and mama sanity would be beginning of summer like ummm labor day or the first week of June not the freaking end of August to suffer through summer heat stroke and soberness....Abby, I hope you realize how much I love you and how selfless I've been this year. I think that you can love your mom and appreciate her and what she does for you but the moment you become pregnant you have a whole new understanding of REALLY how much they have done for you. Sacraficing for your children starts the moment you find out you're going to have one and it never stops.
Looking forward to: Getting this baby out of me. hahahahahahahahaha
