Update 10/04/11

How far along: 30 weeks, 70 days to go!
Size of baby: The size of a squash
Maternity Clothes: Just ordered a bunch of Fall stuff...can't wait to get it!
Gender: Baby Girl!
Movement: Lots and lots!
What I miss: My energy! My more stable moods!
Cravings: I'm not really craving much of anything.
Symptoms: I'm still very tired all of the time, no headaches, ankles swell occasionally, heartburn and backaches are the worst!

I realized today that I'm actually due on a Tuesday so I will be doing my updates on Tuesdays from now on!

I haven't had too much going on in the past week so there isn't much to update. I've been feeling pretty good which is a nice change from how I was a few weeks ago. Little Miss is kicking pretty much all of the time now! I'm realizing more and more every day that this due date is getting closer and closer and I think my nesting is going to kick in soon!

I'm getting nervous because our house isn't even close to being finished and the nursery hasn't been started yet! My husband is finally finishing up our living room, which is going to become our new bedroom until our actual bedroom and the nursery are done.

We just have so much going on with his business and my job and our 3 precious dogs and the upcoming wedding I'm in and my husband's birthday and the list goes on and on! It's also hard to get any work done to our house when my poor husband is left to do all of the work himself! Volunteers are always appreciated.

My dress fitting this past weekend went well. My tailor lady is going to take out the band on the dress so that it fits over my baby belly! She also gave me a $10 discount for the baby! Little Miss is already giving me perks! And I have to say, the bride looked gorgeous in her dress. We only have a few more days until the wedding and I can't wait! It's going to be a long, tiring day but it will be well worth it.

We also had the bride's bachelorette party and it was a blast! She had a ton of fun. She is such a wonderful person and she deserves the best from all of us. Another note, the bride is the first person, besides my husband, who has gotten to feel Little Miss move!

I think I've got my husband's 30th birthday party in the bag. Venue is booked and invitations went out. I'm excited to be throwing this party for him. He doesn't really want me to spend the money for it but to me, it's not just for his birthday. It's also a thank you for all of the hard work he is doing and for putting up with me the last 7 months! He needs to know that he is appreciated!

I go back on October 17th for my next ultrasound and after that, I have to go every two weeks! I didn't realize how close it was until she she said every two weeks!

Next update will be next week at 31 weeks.

I also want to make a quick shout out to "An Ordinary Mom". Check out her blog here. She is going through a very difficult time right now with her oldest son who had a brain tumor removed recently. Please send your love to her and her family.

Blog Commenting Challenge!

Linking up with Jenna's Journey  for the 3rd Annual Blog Commenting Challenge! Hi! I'm Vanessa! I live with my husband Bryan and my amazing 6 month old Ashlyn in Pennsylvania. I was born and raised here and love it very much! We have 2 pugs, Katie and Utley, one black lab, Camo and one cat, Joey. Our second cat, Kitty, is sadly recently deceased (on Father's Day). I work full time as a Marketing Analyst for a supply chain consulting firm. I don't even know what that means really! I have been here for 3 years and am thinking about a career change. SAHM is looking better and better. My husband owns his own landscaping business which has been both wonderful and horrible at the same time! My husband and I know each other for about 17 years now and we have been together for 12. We got married in September of 2010, just 2 weeks shy of our 10th anniversary! We got pregnant after only 2 months of trying and last December we were greeted by Ashlyn Marie Miller,

I'm Not Gonna Lie

Anyone who knows me know that I LOVE Christmas.  I love the decorations.  I love to decorate my own house and see all of the other cool decorations other people have.  There is a house down the street from us that always has more lights and decorations than I have ever seen in one yard.  It's a bit much but it's an attention grabber. I love the Christmas tree.  I love to get the tree out each year (yes we have a fake because I can't stand the needles) and I love to decorate it.  Growing up, our family would decorate the tree together with all kinds of ornaments that we had collected over the years.  I like to do themes for my trees.  Last year I did pink and silver in honor of the newest member of our family.  I'm really hoping to instill the tradition of decorating the tree with my kids. I love finding the perfect gifts for people and I love to watch their reactions when they open those gifts.  I generally wait until I have purchased ALL of my gifts, I sort them

A Few New Things...

First off, I have 15 followers!  I am so grateful to have more followers.  I can't even tell you how great it makes me feel to know that people want to read my blog.  Through all of the linking up I have been doing, I have 15 followers and I have found a TON of new blogs to read.  I am really enjoying reading them all every day!! In case you don't believe me.......................... I know 15 doesn't seem like a lot but it's a lot to me.  It means the world to me to have people interested in my life.  The second change is that I added a new page.  It's my Summer Bucket List .  I posted this list a little while ago but I know that I will forget about it so I added it as a page.  Now I can actually cross things off as I do them.  I have already crossed one thing off the list and I hope to cross them all off by the end of the Summer!  I guess the end of the Summer would be September 21st so I have until then.  And if I don't get them all crosse
