Baby Shower
7 of my best friends hosted an amazing baby shower for me on Sunday. Everything matched Blakely's decor perfectly! We had a great time, and I am so thankful for my friends. Blakely was spoiled! She received lots of cute outfits, bath stuff, and her car seat and stroller, plus much more.
Here are a few pictures from the shower.
The awesome cake that was part red velvet and part white (my favorite kinds).
The aftermath of Ben and I going through everything that we received at the shower. So blessed!

How Far Along? 32 week and 1 day in this picture

Sleep? Sleep comes and goes. I am just waking up in the middle of the night more and more lately. Then by about 2 in the afternoon, I could really use a nap
Maternity Clothes? Yes
Movement? All the time and I love feeling it. I'm pretty sure she waits until I get in the car to drive to work or home and she does a little dance on my bladder. The other day Ben kissed my belly, making the loud kissing noise and as soon as he kissed my belly, she jabbed my stomach. Not sure if she liked that or didn't like it. :)

Aversions? Nope
Food Cravings? No cravings, just loving my fruits still. I am getting heartburn more and more lately

Belly Button In or Out? Still in, but I swear this girl keeps trying to push it out
Wedding Rings On or Off? On
Happy or Moody Most of the Time? Happy!!
Looking Forward To? Looking forward to getting the nursery completed, I just have to get decorations on the walls and her stuff from the shower put away and it will be done. We are hoping to get that done this weekend.

31 Week Update
We have been pretty busy the last few weeks, so I didn't get an update out on week 30. But not too much has changed.
How Far Along? 31 weeks
Sleep? Sleep has been okay. I'm waking up several times to this precious little girl moving around, and my legs bothering me. But I am sleeping for the most part
Maternity Clothes? Pretty much all the time
Movement? I love feeling her move around ALL the time. I am getting more jabs lately that are a little more painful, so think it is her boney arms or legs. It's crazy to watch my stomach move all over the place in the evenings.
Miss Anything? Cocktails since the weather is getting nice and we have been sitting on the patio so much lately.
Aversions? Nope
Food Cravings? Not really. I still like to have something sweet, but I don't have to have it
Gender? Girl
Labor Signs? Not yet. I have had a couple of braxton hicks, but not too many
Best Moment of the Week? Mother's Day and celebrating Ben's birthday. Ben's parents came over on Sunday and I cooked lunch and then we went to the Rangers game with my parents that night and they WON! Then Monday was Ben's birthday and we celebrated by going to get him a new Macbook Air and dinner, and then I made homemade keylime cheesecake.
Belly Button In or Out? In!
Wedding Rings On or Off? On, although there were a couple of days were I only wore my band because it was a little tight to get my engagement ring on
Happy or Moody Most of the Time? Happy! Although, I may be a little moody at times, but I am just getting anxious to finish up the nursery.
Looking Forward To? I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow so I always love to hear the heartbeat. Then I have my first baby shower this weekend thrown by my best girl friends so I can't wait for that!!!
We finally decided on a name for our little Biscuit!
Blakely Nicole Fender
We fell in love with this name. Some other names on our list were:
Olivia
Sydney
Gabrielle
McKenna
