Baby Kaden! :) : November 2013

Baby size: 33 Weeks! Baby is the size of a pineapple. Hopefully, not the texture, though. o_O

Yummmm :)

How I feel about being pregnant: Gigantic. Haha It's really hard to breathe. And sit. And stand. And lay down. Not to mention the hormones. Oh man. I cry over absolutely everything. I've always been a crier, but it's 1000x worse now. My poor husband...

What I miss about pre-pregnancy life: Ummm being able to do all of the previously mentioned things without much difficulty. I literally feel it's a triumph when I'm able to get up out of the tub by myself. I'm just waiting for the day when Shane has to come rescue me. lol

Symptoms: Heartburn and a complete inability to get comfortable at night to sleep, if that counts as a symptom.

Food Cravings: Rice Krispie Treats. I got up and made them at midnight the other day b/c I saw a pic of one and just HAD to have them. Haha.

What I'm most excited about: Working on the nursery! It's so fun to get his room all set up and ready for him. :) I got super overwhelmed after the shower because there was SO MUCH STUFF (for which I am beyond grateful <3), so last Monday Shane and I went and bought some shelving and baskets and such to organize things in. I feel a lot better now. :-D

This is where the crib will be going. :)

That chair will be exchanged for a glider. Right now it's just a place for me to take a break when I get worn out. lol

The border turned out AMAZING! I'm totally in love with it. :))

Something I've done to prepare for baby: Baby Shower #1!! It was so much fun to spend time with all my family and celebrate my little guy. It makes my heart so happy to see how loved he is already. We got so many cute and fun things for him. He's definitely going to have some pretty fun bath times in the future! ;) I think he's going to love all of his toys, and I KNOW he's going to look ridiculously adorable in all his clothes. He might actually have more clothes than me, and I'm pretty certain he has more clothes than Shane. :-P I can't wait to play dress up! ;)

Getting ready to go! :)

Daddy hanging out in MY chair. :-P

Shane crammed into the car on the way home. Hahaha

SO MANY CLOTHES!!

Special moment:

Funny moment: Marlen and Krystin were over for dinner the other night and wanted to feel Kaden move. Of course, he decided he was NOT going to cooperate, so they began humming with their throats against my belly, yelling, and poking trying to get his attention. He didn't even kick once. Stubborn! It was hilarious though. I'm hoping I can get the video to upload, because it is pure gold. :-D

Krystin pouting against my bump. Aka the CUTEST SAD PICTURE EVER. <3

How baby's growing (from BabyCenter): This week your baby weighs a little over 4 pounds and has passed the 17-inch mark (about the size of a pineapple). He's rapidly losing that wrinkled, alien look and his skeleton is hardening. The bones in his skull aren't fused together, which allows them to move and slightly overlap, thus making it easier for him to fit through the birth canal. (The pressure on the head during birth is so intense that many babies are born with a conehead-like appearance.) These bones don't entirely fuse until early adulthood, so they can grow as his brain and other tissue expands during infancy and childhood.
