Update 10/17/11

How far along: 31 weeks 6 days, 57 days to go!
Size of baby: Still the size of a squash but I feel like the size of a honeydew!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!
Cravings: I'm not really craving much of anything.
Symptoms: A lot of aches and pains going on but nothing serious!

I'm disappointed because I thought I was getting an ultrasound today but I didn't. I was looking forward to seeing how big my little monster is! My husband asked if we missed one because he thought it was today too and the receptionist said no. She said she would put us in for one so we will see if she does. I go back in 2 weeks!

Looks like everything is measuring properly and I only gained 2 pounds! Her heart rate was 145 today. The only thing I have to do is take 2 iron pills instead of one. I think I can handle that!

I'm still feeling pretty good, aside from being tired and aside from being sick. I woke up yesterday feeling very stuffy and today it's just as bad. I decided not to take any more cold medicine until I talked to the doctor. He said what the Pharmacist gave me last week was fine so I took some of that again today. It's not really doing much for me, though. Little Miss is kicking like crazy, though, so I might just stop taking it.

I'm still nervous about our house. My husband hasn't worked on anything in a week because he has been so busy! I really hope that we can knock out a few rooms in the next couple of weeks!

I'm still waiting on a ton of RSVPs from people for my husband's 30th birthday party. I'm not sure what people don't understand but it's very important to RSVP!

The wedding this past weekend was a blast. It was the longest weekend of my life but it was worth it! Friday was wedding set up and rehearsal, Saturday was the wedding and Sunday was clean up. It was a beautiful ceremony. I will admit, I got a little teary-eyed (unusual for me) when the bride came down the aisle because she was just so nervous and excited and she just looked gorgeous!

The picture taking was a bit crazy, but it always is. The reception was fantastic. I think everyone had a blast. There were so many people dancing all night long! It was a bit of a mess to clean up the next day but it was well worth it. I won't embarrass my husband any more by describing his actions all night but he had a good time too. I wish the bride and groom nothing but happiness!

I will also admit that I got a little teary-eyed at the reception. One of the guests brought her 3 week old baby. She was beautiful! She had the cutest little pink headband and she was just so tiny! And, she slept the whole time!! She wasn't bothered by any of the noise at all. But seeing that adorable little girl made me want Little Miss to hurry up and get here! Two more months!

Here is my baby bump photo of the weekend:



Now I didn't think that I was THAT big but apparently I am because I had someone else tell me this weekend about how BIG I am! Really people? It's just rude!

I'm hoping to head to my Mom's this week to go over the registry. I want to make sure I have everything I need on there. I know the invitations for the shower should be going out this week so that's exciting!

My next update will be next week at 33 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
