Splash Pad

All the pictures below are from my fabulous SIL. She is a great photographer and all the pictures are straight from her camera without any editing. 

A splash pad somewhat near us opened this summer. We have had to take full advantage of it and go often. Luckily my SIL loves it too so that I have not had to go alone. In fact the last time we went I totally fell asleep in the shade while she and Nate played with the kiddos. 

This is day 7 of not washing my hair. Gross I know!

Can a girl be any more stylish and beautiful?

Stud!

Summer love.

Big blue eyes. 

Snacking on Oreos 

Drenched!

Nate probably should have rethought his shirt selection. 

My boy loves snuggles when he is wrapped in a towel. It is always a reminder that he is still my baby and I love that I get to cradle him as if he were small.

Week 33

How far along? 33 Weeks 5 days

Total weight gain/loss? Gaining lots! I'm almost to the point where I was when I delivered Kendrick so I will probably end up gaining more this pregnancy.
Maternity clothes? I'm waiting for the baby to drop so that I can fit into everything a bit better.
Stretch marks? One on my hip. I'm kinda nervous that I will get a bunch now seeing as how I still have many days and weeks left of being pregnant.
Sleep? I'm back to needing my daily nap. It is hard to know how much is just the heat and how much of the exhaustion comes from pregnancy.
Best moment(s) this week? Hanging out with my little mister. I'm trying to live up every second I have with him before my time will be divided.
I have been meaning to add that my hair is super awesome. I can easily go a week before it even kind of gets oily. It has been this way since probably week 17 or so but I just kept forgetting to mention it.
Miss Anything? The feeling of being in control of my body. It is so weird to have braxton hicks, charley horses, and cervix punches that come out of nowhere. I wouldn't change anything but I do miss feeling normal.
Movement? Crowberry loves to kick me on the left side. This week I am big enough that I can now be kicked in the ribs. Luckily I can mostly keep the baby out of my ribs but car rides are getting uncomfortable if I slouch.
Food cravings? I just don't want to eat. Heartburn comes and goes depending on the week I am on. I've been great the past week but I still feel like there just isn't room for food, water, and a baby in my body.
Anything making you queasy or sick? The smell of chicken is still not my favorite. Any meat smell is gross.
Have you started to show yet? I think it is safe to say that this question is now pointless. Yes I have a baby bump.
Gender? I haven't fully made up my mind on the gender. I wish I had some motherly insight but I just go back and forth between the two. I imagine a girl and then that freaks me out so I hope for a boy.
Labor Signs? Is it bad that I get kind of excited when I have a bunch of contractions? I know that they don't mean anything this early on and I have had them forever but it is hard not to start envisioning childbirth and know that I'm not too far off. I think I'm going to have a super hard time if I go full term... which for some reason I think I might.
Belly Button in or out? Who knows. It likes to change all the time.
Wedding ring on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time? Sleepiness has made me a bit grumpy but I'm consciously trying to enjoy these last few weeks.
Looking forward to? Holding a newborn. 

Week 31

How far along? 31 Weeks 2 days

Total weight gain/loss? My growing belly makes me think I've gained lots but my scale hasn't moved in awhile so who knows.
Maternity clothes? I'm hoping that my maternity clothes still fit in another month. Some of them are already starting to feel small/ tight.
Stretch marks? My belly is stretching but so far my skin has been able to keep up.
Sleep? Oh boy do I have a story here. On Saturday I fell asleep with compression pants and my legs elevated (on accident). Well at 5am I woke up with the worst charley horses of my life. I would get one in my calfs and then when I would move my legs and feet to try to get them out I would get 3 more in each leg. I was paralyzed with charley horses. All I could do was cry and wait for them to all go away. On a positive note I now know that I need calcium in order to help get less of them. I've been taking calcium for a few weeks but on Saturday I decided that it probably wasn't helping (because I still got them). I decided to do a test and not take calcium just to see if it really was helping. Guess what? It was!! I have not missed a dose and probably won't from now on. That is what I get for being curious I guess.
Best moment(s) this week?
Our 5 year anniversary obviously. How can anything top that? I had braxton hicks the entire day and was a little worried I'd have to go to the hospital because of them. I probably should have but my water didn't brake so eh. :)
Miss Anything? Being able to keep up with Kendrick. He is a handful and he keeps getting faster while I feel so much slower.
Movement? I think our baby has grown lots in the past week. It seems like the bones and movement are so much bigger.
Food cravings? I'm running out of room for food.
Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope. I'm pretty content.
Have you started to show yet? Yup. There is no sucking in the belly any longer.
Gender? In exactly 2 months I should know the gender... and if not then I will be one prego lady.
Labor Signs? My uterus just loves to practice for childbirth.
Belly Button in or out? It sticks out when I laugh or do planks but it is starting to stretch to the point where it looks like I don't have one at all.
Wedding ring on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time? Happy! Anxious to meet our little but still so happy.
Looking forward to? Great weather when the baby is born. Today has been stormy and fairly cool for AZ and I can't wait for it to be cool on a daily basis. 

Week 29

How far along? 29 Weeks 5 days

Total weight gain/loss? I think in total I have gained 15-20lbs now.
Maternity clothes? Ya I hate them. What is with the new style of stripes and shorter in the front than the back on shirts? Drives me crazy!
Stretch marks? More like varicose veins. :(
Sleep? Any time I wake up at night to rotate sides the baby goes wild. Crowberry is a night owl. Luckily I can still fall asleep with kicks and twists happening in me.
Best moment(s) this week?
Finalizing names. It may not last longer than this week but at least Nate and I both finally agreed on names for longer than a few days. Woot woot.
Miss Anything? Family. I was with family for so long and my house is just quiet now.
Movement? I love our little mover. Hiccups have been frequent this week and it is fun to know where the head is sitting and then feel the limbs all around during the hiccups.
Food cravings? No but I'm attempting to eat more protein while in my 3rd trimester. We were spoiled with fresh Halibut from Alaska so I'm hoping to change my taste buds and really fall in love with it.
Anything making you queasy or sick? This morning I accidentally grabbed a cup that had old milk in it and then started drinking water from it. My gagging reflex still has not fully recovered from it.
Have you started to show yet? I feel my best in the morning. At night I just feel huge! I think I am much bigger this time around but it is so hard to tell for sure.
Gender? When the fill-in midwife was checking the baby's heartbeat on Tuesday she commented "Yup it is a boy". I replied with "Really? That is exciting"! She was instantly embarrassed that I didn't know the gender and then tried to cover her tracks saying that was just her guess. I realize that it might not be accurate but I love having one more person guessing boy. That makes 4 people who are guessing boy.
Labor Signs? Oh man I think I have moved past braxton hicks and onto contractions. I have had some pretty intense tightening in my uterus this week. I still try to let it roll off my shoulder when they are extremely close together but part of me still worries.
Belly Button in or out? Depends on where the baby is sitting.
Wedding ring on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time? Happy ish. I have been potty training for a few weeks now and that is stressful. I am running out of patience but trying so hard not to.
Looking forward to? Setting up all the baby stuff and finish nesting. I really want Kendrick to see that there are things that belong to the baby and not him. I hope it will help with him understanding that a new little person will be added to our family soon.

I want to add what we are thinking on baby names. I love feed back and don't really mind people knowing. I'd rather hear terrible name stories during pregnancy than after the baby has been named.

Boy: Garrett George Crow (Nate is still hoping for Spencer as a middle name)
Girl: Leah Allene (possibly Bessie) Crow

I was talking with my mom yesterday telling her our newly discovered names we liked and she told me info that had me love Leah even more. Apparently Leah is the name of the Grandmother that my mother knew. My Great Grandma Bessie passed away at 42 and my Great Grandpa later remarried Leah Marie. My middle name was chosen in honor of her. If we have a girl I think it is fate that we should name her Leah Bessie... but we still have 2 months to decide and the possibility of having a boy.

These pictures are from Sun night. At least I finally took some... even if I am in pj's and look lame.
