How far along are you?
31 weeks and 5 days

How much weight have you gained?
20 lbs--not fun

How big is baby?
About 3 and a half lbs or so according to all the books

How are you feeling?
Exhausted and starting to feel very uncomfortable...I guess that comes with growing a baby inside of you! He'll be here in about 8 weeks give or take so it's pretty normal to me that everything is starting to ache:)

Are you sleeping?
In the last few weeks I've actually been sleeping really well--I just never feel like I get enough!

What are your current cravings/aversions?
Hot Chocolate:) I have tried it from most of the coffee stands in town--I love it from Bean me Up espresso--hate starbucks cocoa--blech

What’s new for little Baby Amerine?
Little baby boy is starting to pack on the pounds. His little body is just preparing itself to join us out here! A few weeks ago I made some stuffed owls for decor for his room which I am super excited about!

What are you thinking about this week?
I am constantly telling Jared---I can't believe he is going to be here so soon! This time is just flying by. I'm trying to get as much rest as I can now and also finishing up all kinds of things I need to do now.

What are you missing?
I'm missing running and working out hard. I also miss just being able to walk up a flight of stairs without getting out of breath!

What are you looking forward to?
Showing off our precious little miracle to our family and friends:)

How far along are you?
29 weeks 5 days--so close to 30!!

How much weight have you gained?
20 lbs---yikes!

How big is baby?
About 3 lbs-he'll be putting on about 1/2 a lb. every week.

How are you feeling?
Pretty good these days--It kind of depends on the day. I'm starting to get tired again-I guess that's the 3rd trimester for you:)

Are you sleeping?
Yes I sleep--how long is another story. I just figure God is preparing for what it would be like once the baby is waking me up in the middle of the night:)

What are your current cravings/aversions?
Cravings are mostly things I can't have these days-like regular coffee.

What’s new for little Baby Amerine?
Baby Amerine is mostly developing his lungs, and putting on some weight:) All good things. He's just getting ready to come out into the world.

What are you thinking about this week?
Thinking about getting as much rest as possible while I still can:) Also thinking about our baby boy and praying about the man God will shape him to be.

What are you missing?
I'm really starting to miss just how my body normally feels like. Although I'm just trying to keep in mind that the pregnancy is only going to last for a few more months:( I'm trying to enjoy every moment of this pregnancy:)

What are you looking forward to?
Smelling the skin of the little baby boy and kissing his little face:) I'm also looking forward to dressing him in all the cute little outfits we've already gotten for him.

Random question:
Have you picked out a name?
Yes! We have his full name picked out...Froyo Bongo Amerine!!! Well that's my dad's nickname for our baby. But in all reality we do have his name picked out--it has a very special meaning for us, plus we just like the names:) In about 10 weeks everyone will know what it is!
