First Here is our new nephew, Grayson Paul:

Grayson Paul James - born 07.19.13 @ 9:52am 8lbs 8.5 oz

Then the Royal baby was finally born!! (I'm obsessed with Wills and Kate!) 

Awww Kate and Will holding the new prince just like Di and Charles holding baby Will - PRECIOUS! 

Eat your heart out: Prince George! Abby's future hubby! 

I finished Abby's Lilly Mobile last week:

MADE BY ME!!!!!!!

Yes, the faces could look better...but it's made with love! ONE OF A KIND!

Nursery Progress - The crown and base is INSTALLED AND PAINTED and WE HAVE LIGHT!!! 

My wall looking GORGEOUS with the trim finally in and painted! ...now to install the outlets and coverplates! :) 

Abby's Chandelier!! 

The progress - Chandy installed, molding in (those outlet covers BLECH!)

Hello, Gorgeous! 

The nursery wasn't the only thing getting a face lift this week...

My lovely bridal set from Claires for $11.00! 

A sneak peak at our terrible maternity session:

There isn't enough time for me to write how much I dislike this photo

MEH

5 WEEKS TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!! 

How far along? 35 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: I weighed 147 lbs LAST Tuesday - that's 29 lbs since before I was preg, 25 lbs since my first appointment @ 5 Weeks I would just like to say they weighed me before I peed this week so I am prob a little less since I pounded like 8 bottles of water that am. Oh and last Friday Miss Abby weighed 5 lbs 7 oz - she is in the 78th percentile for her age.
Maternity Clothes? I'm so sick of commenting on clothes...I bought maternity yoga pants and THEY SUCK! I did buy some maternity t-shirts and nursing tanks/shirts for the hospital but I'm trying some ON lounge pants instead of those AWFUL yoga pants.
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 - Trim painted, chandelier hung, closet organizer in, dresser put together! OH AND I FINISHED THE MOBILE!!!! MAKIN MOVES PEOPLE!
Have you told family and friends? Is this question still necessary? EVERYBODY KNOWS EVERYTHING MMMK
Miss Anything? Being comfortable and wearing my clothes, whatever clothes I want! OMG I miss being comfortable! And not crying every time I try to get dressed! I miss sleeping through the night. I miss not having to pee every 5 seconds - even with the softest plushest toilet paper in the world eventually you get a little raw, you know? I miss being able to eat without getting indigestion...I can't even drink without having it. I miss being able to get out of bed without shooting pain in my lower back. I miss being able to bend over. I miss being able to see my whole body.
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? I've pretty much stopped eating dinner all together. It is TOO HOT to eat anything but italian ice or snowballs for dinner!
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 Looks like I'm going to lose this battle.
Wedding rings on or off? My rings are off now. :( Bought a lovely wedding set at Claires for $11.00
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
