Update 10/11/11

How far along: 31 weeks, 63 days to go!
Size of baby: Still the size of a squash
Maternity Clothes: So far I love all of the Fall stuff I just got!
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 still don't have too much to report. I can't wait to go back to the doctor on Monday for my next ultrasound. I can't wait to see how big my little monster is! Maybe they will push my due date up again. I'm really hoping for early December rather than mid-December.

I'm still feeling pretty good, aside from being tired. I think that the cooler temperatures are really helping my mood! My husband is happy for the change. He is actually looking forward to spending these last two months with me!

Little Miss is still kicking all of the time. She kicks a lot when she is hungry. I can always feel her the most when I'm laying on my back. The worst is when she kicks my bladder and I feel like I'm going to pee in my pants!

Last night was actually the first night that I woke up in the middle of the night to a baby moving. She usually sleeps through the night but she didn't want to last night. My husband is getting sick so we went the store and asked the Pharmacist what I could take in case I got sick too. So I took some before bed last night and I don't think Little Miss liked it. I didn't get any sleep last night!

I'm still nervous about our house. My husband got the living room done so now that has become our bedroom. He is making progress in the bedroom but there is still so much work to be done. The good news is that we got a ton of furniture over the weekend so we can fill the rooms back up! The bad news is that it's all in our garage so it's a little difficult to move around down there!

My second dress fitting went even better than the first. The dress fit perfectly! I can't wait for Saturday. It's going to be a very long day but it's going to be well worth it. I'm so happy for the bride and groom!

Invitations for my husband's 30th went out last week. I have a few people who have RSVP'd but not too many. I need people to RSVP!! There is catering involved here! It will be a blast regardless. I'm trying to schedule some other surprises for him for the day as well. I just want him to have a fun day.

Next update will be next after my ultrasound on Monday, October 17th. After that, I will probably only post ever other week since I have to go the doctor every other week. It's getting so close!!

Here is a new baby bump photo for you:



It's not a great picture but what do you expect from a self-portrait? If you look, you will see my little puggers at my feet again!


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
