how far along: 31 weeks
weight gain & stretch marks?: i think about 12 gained & no stretch marks
best moment this week: seeing so many of my friends & family at my baby shower!!
worst moment this week: finding that we have house guests in the form of mice. barf.
miss anything?: dressing myself without getting out of breath, sleeping
symptoms & movement: shortness of breath, rib pain, being tired all the time! so much movement...i love it! hiccups all the time :)
cravings & aversions: i could really go for some enchiladas. aversion to beef this week, so make those enchiladas chicken. (nice change of pace after 800 weeks hating chicken)
looking forward to: the first iowa state game this weekend! and starting our childbirthing class this week. is it weird that i'm kind of excited about that?!
things to add: i am so grateful for each and every person that came to our shower/called or texted to let me know they were thinking of me/sent a gift! boo has so much fun gear now, i can't wait to put it to use! 

and i am terrible at remembering to take pictures, so this is all i have! (and thanks to whoever i stole this picture from!)

how far along: 
29 weeks
weight gain & stretch marks?: 9 lbs gained & no stretch marks
best moment this week: seeing so many of my friends that i hadn't seen in a long time
worst moment this week: driving so much and feeling like this kid could come busting out of my ribcage at any moment
miss anything?: sushi! sounds so good lately. and sleep. 
symptoms & movement: so much rib pain. and headaches.
cravings & aversions: craving sushi and lemonade (but only the kind kameron makes because i'm snobby like that). aversions to lasagna, meat, and anything that smells fried. 
looking forward to: a low key weekend!
things to add:  i cannot believe i forgot to add this last week! there is a dairy queen within walking distance of my office and while i was in line the other day, a random man asked if i was pregnant (which you should never ask unless someone is like...crowning). i said yes and he asked if i was having a little boy or little girl. i said i didn't know. then he said "so does your baby have a dad?" EXCUSE ME WHAT?! i wish i could have seen the look on my own face. the guy making my ice cream was laughing so hard and i didn't even know what to say. i'm pretty sure that it was a lame (the lamest) attempt at a pick up line...like hey does your baby have a dad, cause if not i could be it!i swear the weirdest things happen to me.
