Week 34

How far along: 34 Weeks
Weight gain: Surprisingly no weight gain in the past 3 weeks...midwife says my overall gain is in the healthy range and baby is measuring on track so nothing to worry about, good news!
How big is baby: Average Cantaloupe (according to BabyBump app)
Maternity clothes: Yupp, although the dress pictured above that I wore for my baby shower is a dress I bought in Thailand about 3 years ago, here is a picture of me wearing it on our honeymoon in Cabo a year ago, such a great dress!
Best moment this week: Such a busy but fabulous weekend. Me and hunnie had Friday of work and thank goodness for that. My day started off early with prenatal massage which I was long overdue for, then we had our 34-week check with our midwife, baby is doing great and still head down, she said it would be very unlikely that he would turn at this point since he's been head down for awhile. She said if he did turn it would be a very obvious movement and quite uncomfortable, good job Meeps! Everything else checked out good too! After that we scooped up the pups and headed out to Marymoor Park for some fetch and swimming, didn't get to swim as much as we wanted because they have most of the river fenced off due to the endangered salmon. Got home, gave the dogs baths in the backyard, then Hunnie came back with our neighbor Justin and 2 yards of bark. We weeded and re-barked the front yard and it looks great, should have done this earlier in the summer! After that I did a major cleaning inside the house in prep for guest coming over on Saturday for the shower. By the time we went out to dinner with family that night, I could barely keep my eyes open. Saturday was wonderful, good food and company, we are very blessed by amazing family & friends. My lovely hostesses Kathy and Lily threw a beautiful shower and Meeps got lots of cute stuff too! Finally relaxing and hanging out today which is what I love about Sundays.
Movement: Lots of strong kicking, mostly on the left side. I had my belly pushed up against Hunnie's side in a bed one morning and he was finally able to feel Meep's strong kicks, it was so cool! 
Food Cravings: Pineapple, strawberries, cheeseburgers, fries, roast duck...wow what a mix 
Belly button in or out: Still holding innie status LOL
What I miss:  All of our friends and family who weren't able to make it to the shower, but hope to see yalls soon!
What I'm looking forward to: Looking forward to next weekend which will be Labor Day weekend, no big plans but just looking forward to another long weekend. Love hanging out with my hunnie, our pups, and just wondering how life will be once Meeps comes ☺

32 Weeks

How far along: 33 Weeks
Weight gain: If I remember, I'll weigh myself at work tomorrow and update...
How big is baby: Pineapple
Maternity clothes: Oh yeahhh
Best moment this week: Had a great weekend, Saturday we ran errands like added to our Target baby registry and bought a few gifts for friends down in U Village. We also got a super nice table from our friends Lily & Aaron who didn't have room in their new place for it, the table is from Cost Plus World Imports and it goes so nicely with the decor in our home. So happy to get rid of that unsightly oak table from the 80's! Way nicer than anything we would be able to get anytime soon so we're super thankful for such generous friends. We took them out for sushi dinner that nice which was delish! On Sunday we made a big Costco run and picked up stuff for this coming weekend's festivities. And then in the afternoon/evening we hung out at Anh Hai and Chi Holly's housewarming which is just a 5-10 minute drive down to Canyon Park. There house is huge and very pretty and it was great to see Chi Holly who is 27 weeks pregnant with baby girl! We had a fun time eating and chatting with family, it was wonderful!
Movement: Yupp still lots of movement and turning and stretching, I'm always curious what position Meeps is in, wish I had x-ray vision! Today he insist on wedging a foot or something into my right rib cage LOL
Food Cravings: It was especially warm this week, been craving sushi and finally got a semi-fix, had to stick to tempura and unagi mostly but it was still very good. Also having very strong cravings for iced caramel machiattos with extra caramel, YUM. Had one today (just a tall-size) and it definitely made meeps energetic.
Belly button in or out: Still an innie but it's super stretched out LOL
What I miss:  not feeling so tired...
What I'm looking forward to: This Friday is another check with the midwives, it will be a short one but I still get excited to hear Meeps heartbeat and have them check to see how he's growing and what position he's laying in. We're also planning to take the pups to the dog park to hopefully tire them out for the baby shower which is Saturday, excited to see family and friends! And then will be nice to relax on Sunday. So happy it's a short week for us this week!

1-Year Anniversary

Wedding Party @ Heritage Park in Kirkland

Happy 1-year Anniversary to my wonderful and amazing husband! Can't believe it's been a year, has gone by so fast but so much has happened too! We are truly blessed and I'm so excited for this next adventure into parenthood with you. I love that you make me laugh every single day, that I can always be myself and you love me, weirdness quirks and all! I have the funnest time with you, even when we're doing nothing at all. I'm so proud of the man God has grown you to be and is continuing to shape you to become. Can't imagine my life without you! Love you so much!

Crib with blue and chocolate bedding and awesome doggie print blanket that is super soft and cuddly!

Nursery decor, keeping it simple with pics of the pups

Week 32

How far along: 32 Weeks
Weight gain:  Approx 27 lbs or so, midwife assured me I'm doing okay and that it was not too much weight gain haha I'm thinking I still have 8 or so weeks left and apparently these weeks are when you really start packing on pounds and getting huge...scared!
How big is baby: Large jicama
Maternity clothes: If I'm not at work wearing scrubs, I'm wearing pajamas at home. If I have to go out in public, I'm wearing my stretchy black pants which Hunnie hates LOL
Best moment this week: Getting the nursery more put together, we put up shelves and some frames, also go bedding for the crib and I found this awesome doggie-print soft blankie for Meeps, it rocks! We also got some other decor for around the house, the fireplace mantle is finally finished.
Movement: Lots!! He's pushing and rolling around quite a bit, sometimes it hurts because it feels like he's stretching and going to poke right out of my belly. My neice Cam got to feel him kick yesterday, she thought it was pretty cool. Me and Hunnie have seen some crazy movements of my belly and I'm sure it's going to get even more pronounced. 
Food Cravings: Pho, we're making a big pot of it today for the week, yum!
Belly button in or out: Still in but now very shallow
What I miss: Sleeping on my back
What I'm looking forward to: Having meepers here! Even though I feel nervous as the same time too LOL

Swapped the first bag I bought for this one instead, love love the print and colors

Week 31

How far along: 31 Weeks
Weight gain:  Tipping the scales at over 180lbs! Eek! Hunnie did a weigh in at the midwives office too and he's lost 5 pounds LOL
How big is baby: Four navel oranges (according to BabyBump iPhone app) approx 16 inches and 3 lbs!
Maternity clothes: Have started wearing my GapMaternity t-shirts to work with my scrubs now instead of the scrub tops because they are getting so snug and I'm also overheating underneath them.
Best moment this week: Had another great session at prenatal yoga on Saturday. On Sunday we met up with Kathy and baby Olivia at U Village and then headed over to Ballard Farmers Market with Lils and Sam, was a beautiful and fun day. Also, baby Addison Quyen Nhi was born on Tuesday August 2nd and she's gorgeous and so wonderful, we got to Skype with Anh Tuyen Chi Kim and it was great! So happy for them and can't wait to hold baby girl in person!
Movement: Lots of kicks or punches on either side of my belly. Midwife says baby is measuring right on target and he is in head down position, they are still able to turn up until 36 weeks but he's been head down for the last couple of checks so that is a good sign!
Food Cravings: Mexcican, pizza, iced caramel machiattos
Belly button in or out: Still innie
What I miss:  Not having to calculate how much I should or should not drink for fear of not having a bathroom accessible
What I'm looking forward to: Getting more stuff for the nursery
