Avery Claire | Week 30

We had a growth scan this week & Avery is measuring at 3 pounds and 14 ounces. She is doing great and is healthy as can be!

She is head down now (thankfully!) which has actually relieved pressure on my sciatic nerve! Yes!

We are counting down the days until we get to meet our baby girl!

Avery Claire | Week 29

Days Down: 208
Days to go: 72

Movement: She is still quite the wiggle worm!

Pregnancy Symptoms:  This siatic nerve pain unfortunately has gotten worse. My back is starting to hurt now and my tailbone will hurt at random times.
Random fact: your tailbone starts to hurt during late pregnancy because your body is trying to prepare for delivery, so the ligaments that are holding your bones together start to relax which causes pain. Ouch!

Best things about this week: Our cousins, Taylor and Kam, are throwing us a couples shower on Saturday with Taylor and Zach!! We are ao excited!

Nursery progress: The changing table is in place with the pad and cover on top! We also have our diaper genie ready to go! (Thank you Ashlee and David!) We have also started to stock the table up with diapers, wipes, desitin, and powder!

Random facts about Avery this week: Avery is the size of a small cabbage! She is about 17 inches long and 2.9 lbs! In the next 10 weeks, she will more than double in weight!

 

My sweet friend, Morgan, came by with a gift for me since she knew I had a hard week! My favorite candle & body butter that she has loved during her pregnancy! So thankful!

 

Avery's changing table!

 

Avery Claire | Week 28

Days Down: 201
Days to go: 79

Movement: She is still quite the wiggle worm except for the day we did the 3D/4D ultrasound! She decided she wanted to stay curled up in a little ball and keep her arms over her face!

Pregnancy Symptoms: This sciatic nerve pain is literally the worst thing EVER! I literally can't walk without my right leg hurting. I am praying it gets better! Also, Avery is feet down right now and I feel every single kick on my bladder. Turn baby girl!

Best things about this week: We got to see Avery's face this week! She has Tyler's lips and nose! And, we are official in the 3rd trimester! Praise the Lord! We also got her car seat and stroller delivered today which makes me feel a lot more prepared!

Nursery progress: Her changing table is in the nursery now! We will post a picture when her nursery is completed!

Sleep: I'm sleeping okay except for waking up every 2 hours to pee!

Food Cravings: None!

Random facts about Avery this week: Avery is 2.5 lbs and around 16 inches long! She is blinking, hiccupping, coughing, sucking, and taking practice breaths. Her sleep now includes REM which means she could be dreaming!

We are so excited to have Avery here with us! I still can't believe we are only 11 weeks (ish) away from meeting her! Tyler and I are so excited to be parents and we absolutely can't wait to be HER parents! We are so blessed and so happy!

 

Avery Claire | Week 27 + 5 days

Days Down: 194
Days to go: 86

Movement: Avery sure is a wiggle worm! I love feeling her move and I don't think feeling her inside of my belly will ever get old.

Pregnancy Symptoms: Holy lower back pain! My back has been hurting this week for the first time and it is SO uncomfortable. The only thing that seems to help is walking which is definitely inconvenient at 11pm at night.

Best things about this week: This is the last week of the 2nd trimester! Praise God! Also, I am feeling when Avery has hiccups which has been so cool!

Nursery progress: We have bought pink knobs for her dresser and they are super cute! We are still on a crib mattress search!

Sleep: I bought a body pillow so it has definitely helped get me comfortable at night! I am glad I made this purchase before the 3rd trimester!

Food Cravings: Nothing in particular!

Random facts about Avery this week: Avery is about 15 inches long and is about 2.2 lbs! She has developed regular sleep and wake cycles and she may also be able to recognize my voice now!

Is it fall yet?! I am ready for boots & sweaters! 

...And, November! :)
