Spring updates and 30 weeks pregnant!

Life has been super busy lately and so fun as we get closer to summer and to meeting our little girl! I am now 30 1/2 weeks pregnant and it is crazy to think she will be here in just over two months. I've been feeling pretty good, but much more tired and achy now that I'm in the third trimester. I have had a harder time sleeping through the night. Many times that is due to my squished bladder or to being hungry. I have been hungry all the time! She must be growing :) I haven't really had any aversions or cravings, but cereal and ice cream always sound good. I've also mellowed out on the Mac and cheese craze, but it is always delicious! The heartburn has been killer though and I carry tums with me at all times. 

I finally have my ultrasound coming up next week and cannot wait to see what's going on in there! That will help the doctor determine if my placenta previa has resolved itself and whether or not I will need a C-Section. I am excited to be able to [semi] plan this baby's birth!

I haven't been working out a ton, but I try to go on walks a few times a week. I have noticed I am much more tired and slow the farther along into my pregnancy I get. Stairs = hard. Leg cramps have been happening too and a few times I've had to jump out of bed or off the couch (shows how active I've been) to stretch and make it go away. She is also moving all the time now, which is my favorite! Sometimes I can even see my whole belly shaking and I feel like Santa Clause, so there's that. 

Going on lots of walks. Here I am about 27 weeks pregnant:


And here we are hiking the Living Room. It is probably my new favorite hike in Salt Lake! We did accidentally take the wrong fork in the trail and ended up scrambling up part of the mountainside, which made for a hilarious view of this preggo lady:

In April, David's parents came to town for our nephew's first birthday, Easter, and General Conference for our church. It was so fun to see them and hangout with everyone. Here's the whole family around the spikeball net. The boys are obsessed. 


And our darling nephew eating his first birthday cake!


Just the two of us. I am 26 weeks pregnant here. And yes, I wear this dress too much, but it's so comfy- Target is the best! You will see me wearing it in almost every picture of this post, whoops.


A few weeks ago, my sister-in-laws, Jessie and Jen, and my good friend, Carly, threw me a baby shower. It was so nice of them and they did such a fabulous job! I absolutely loved it and it was so good to see so many people and shower this baby with love. Here I am with my college roommates:


And with a few of the dental wives that I went to Mexico with:

And with Carly! This was later after we went out to dinner and not the best quality picture, but I love this lady and we hardly have any pictures together. She is due with a little girl about 6 weeks before me, so we are super excited for our daughters to be friends!


One of our favorite things has been making over the nursery! The house we live in is older and we were so excited to update at least this little space in the home. Here is kinda the before. It did have furniture and curtains, so this is it stripped down. The room seemed so dark (hardwood-looking carpet flooring will do that to a room) and I really wanted to brighten it up.


We got home from a workout on a Saturday morning, then jumped right into painting it! The color is a very light gray, and was perfect for brightening up the room. I love it! Here's the cute soon-to-be daddy:


After with the paint on the walls, and white paint on the trim. Plus, the nursery semi-set up. 


And a panoramic of the room and some furniture. I wasn't lying about the carpet...


We finally got our rug! It is looking so good and we love this room. We still need to get a glider to put in the corner where the car seat is sitting and tie the curtains up:


Some other work includes getting a crib mattress, bedding, and hanging the canvases and frames on the walls. Once that's done, I need to organize the closet and bookshelf, but it's coming together! I will post more pics once it's all finished. 

And lastly, here's a picture of today (30 1/2 weeks). I told you about the dress. So comfy, like a nightgown.
