32 Weeks



How far along?  32 weeks and 2 days
Total weight gain/loss?  Up 22 pounds...apparently we had a growth spurt last month!  Yikes!
Maternity clothes?  Not all the time, but yes, I finally made it to that point.  It's just more comfortable that way!
Stretch marks? Those have been staying away so far.
Sleep?  Tossing and turning a little bit more now.
Best moment last week? Getting to see little miss on the 3D ultrasound (pics below)
Movement? Yeah, I get feet in the ribs quite frequently.
Food cravings? Still nothing really unusual.
Gender? Still a girl!
Labor signs? Nope
Belly button in/out? Beginning to be more of an outtie.  
What I miss: Clothes that fit!

What I am looking forward to: Getting everything ready for baby girl's arrival (decorating, washing/folding miniature clothes, all that fun stuff!)
Milestones: Only 8 more weeks to go!

Iowa State Fair

Of course we could not pass up the good ole Iowa State Fair this year.  We went on the first Saturday so it was really busy and warm but it was a fun day and Kane enjoyed people watching just as much as the rest of us.  He also was adventurous and decided he wanted to ride a camel with Auntie Claire and go down the giant slide with Grandpa Don.  We of course had to dine on the gourmet cuisine at the fair including a hot beef sundae, corn dog, fried pickles, fresh doughnuts and a root beer float.  Kane joined Mom and Grandma Joni in the sharing of all these wonderfully healthy foods (because sharing means you can try more things!).  Here are some pics from the day.

What am I supposed to do with this thing?

Omaha Trip

The end of July we took a little family trip to zoo in Omaha.  We made a weekend out of it and did a little shopping as well.  Kane loved swimming in the hotel pool and really enjoyed seeing all of the "aminals" at the zoo.  Here are some pics from our fun filled weekend.

Cheese!

Checking out the tigers with Mom

It's called Black Panther.  60% of the time, it works half the time.

This guy was so bored he was playing with the dirt.

I like to move it, move it!
