My 32nd Birthday and 33 weeks--2nd Post in 24 hours!

Are you kidding me, Brian Herring? What a way to a pregnant girl's heart! :) He made Chicken Fried Steak for me last night for my birthday (we got home too late to make it Sunday night, my actual b-day) and Oh.My.Goodness!!! You didn't even need a knife it was so tender. He also made homemade gravy that turned out awesome and mashed potatoes. I made the salad and then we had Jalapeno cheese bread from Little Czech Bakery in West, TX. We stopped by there on our way back from San Antonio. Such a yummy meal. Thanks babe!!!



My team at work decorated my cube over the weekend so I came into this awesomeness yesterday morning! They also got me a delicious cake and set up a 'Pin the Tail on the Donkey" game for us to celebrate my 21st birthday in true fashion :) I laughed so hard that they actually brought that game to play. Can you say random!?!?! HAHA! It reminded me of when I was 6! Too funny! We're having a pinata at the next birthday. You guys rock! Thanks for making my birthday great!




33+ Weeks!!!!!!! Yes, I am LARGE!!!! :) A few pregnancy highlights...



How far along: 33+ weeks!!!
Size of baby: PINEAPPLE!!!! Anywhere from 19-22 in., 4.9 lbs
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 26 lbs.
Gender: It's a surprise!!!!!
Names: Girl: Cameron Elizabeth Boy: Pierce Ballard., although we also like Mac Ballard too! Brian's dad text us that suggestion last night and we really liked it! We had Mac as one of our possibilities at first but never with Ballard as a middle name and we love it! If we have a boy, the name may be a 'game-time' decision!
Movement: Little Red is VERY active! Instead of kicking, it's ROLLING around all over my belly! It feels like he/she is doing somersaults in there...so crazy!!!! Little Red is still letting me sleep at night though, thank goodness! But, the second I wake up, it starts moving again!
Sleep: I'm sleeping pretty good at night. I do wake up at odd times of the night and feel like I could run a marathon I'm so wide awake, but that's not consistent, thank goodness! I only do that a couple times a week. And, I have to go to the bathroom about every 3 hours during the night. It's every 30 - 45 minutes during the day. UGH!



What I miss: my memory, my Mary&Guido jeans, being able to walk up a flight of stairs without sounding like I just ran a marathon, WINE, my heels, iced tea, being able to paint my toes comfortably, bending over, getting comfortable in my bed at night, and lime Diet Dr. Peppers from Sonic.
Cravings: Vanilla Wafers! LOL! Random, I know, but I love them! I also still love fruit of any kind, hot dogs, mac 'n cheese, and donuts! HA!



Symptoms: I cry a LOT and at the silliest things, am having Braxton Hicks contractions about 4 - 5 times/day, & I had to stop wearing my engagement ring :o( at 32 weeks. I can still wear my band though.






Cheers,



Lindley
