Easter Egg Hunt 2011

Every year the city of Sugar Hill puts on an HUGE Easter egg hunt.  We always attend and always have a great time!  As the boys get older they are getting more into these type of things and loving it all!  This year the hunt was the day after a big storm so not a lot of people attended which meant lots of eggs for the kids that were there.
On the way - just a wagon ride away

33 Weeks

I went to see my OB on Monday for some more pressure.  I was told my cervix is softening and I am a fingertip (not much at all) dilated.  So we are making some progress.  Baby girl is doing great her heart rate was 138 after she stopped moving the nurse was finally able to get it!   We are having a 3D ultrasound done on Thursday can't wait to see her and share!

Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along: 33 Weeks
Size of baby: Addison is now the size of a honeydew!  Addison may grow up to a full inch this week alone, and her brain is developing like crazy.  Pretty soon, she'll be able to coordinate breathing with sucking and swallowing.  Also, her bones are hardening, and she's started to keep her eyes open when she's awake (from thebump.com).  She is probably weighing in close to 4.5 - 5 lbs.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Total weight gain 32lbs. Starting weight 105 current weight 137 lbs. A LOT I know. Everyone says its all baby, but last time I checked, women don't carry babies in their butts & thighs - ha!
Maternity Clothes: My regular tops are getting a bit short to cover the belly! The GAP maternity jeans that I got in my "usual size" I no longer LOVE LOVE LOVE because they are getting too tight. Who wears a 0 or 2 in maternity jeans anyway? Not this girl at this point! I have a lot of summer maternity clothes from the boys so those are out and I am also loving the long maxi dresses. Still love my Gilligan & O'Malley black yoga like pants from Target.
Gender: It's a girl!!! Addison Kathleen Harris
Movement: Addison is a mover. She MOVES all the time. She is very busy. Her movements are very noticeable now. Instead of TV we watch my stomach - ha! Seriously, the movements are insane. A foot sticking out here a butt there and when she flips well its a sight to see!
Sleep: Well I have AWFUL back pain, especially my right side where my sciatic nerve is involved. Once I get to sleep I can sleep but getting comfortable is hard and requires at least 10 pillows!
What I miss: Not much but sleeping on my stomach and not having back pain.
Cravings: None. My stomach is squished so food is no longer a joy. Fruit and anything liquid is great. I am so thirsty all the time. However I did enjoy my birthday pizza party, chocolate covered strawberries, cake, and cupcakes. 
Symptoms: Mostly heartburn! She has hair:) Contractions started at 30 weeks and back pain.
Best Moment this week: Turning 30!  That post is coming soon:) Adding every pregnancy app there is to my I Pad from my sweet husband.  Ordering the Angel Care Monitor for Addison.  After Austin's apnea when he was 2 months old we were given an apnea monitor to use at home when we left Children's Hospital.  I just wanted this monitor for peace of mind.  Going with my mom to buy Addison's coming home outfit.  Absolutely perfect, exactly what I pictured we would bring our daughter home in.
Also love the purple gown and purple socks we got for Addison to wear in the hospital!

Turning 30!

I had a wonderful 30th birthday.  My birthday fell on a Sunday but the Friday before the fun began:)  Brian arranged for me to get a spa mani and pedi after I had my hair done. 
When I got home from the salon these were waiting for me from my sweet in-laws.  OMG SO GOOD, I couldn't share:)
After I devoured a few strawberries Brian wanted me to open a few gifts. I had no idea that I was getting an I-PAD! Love it! I also got two I-Pad cases, candles and bubble bath. He saved a few things for Sunday. Such a great husband.
On Sunday I slept in which was a gift in itself!  Then we all got dressed and headed to my inlaws before meeting up with my family for dinner.  Brian ordered cup cakes from a bakery in Suwanee called Gimme Some Suga.  They were delicious, my mom brought a cake, so we had lots of goodies following our pizza!  It was a great birthday and so far 30 is great!  
 Camera!

Fun Wine glass - I will be pouring my Skinny Girl Margarita in this glass immediately following the birth of my sweet daughter (in between pumping and dumping of course:)
 Ryan's bday is the day after mine so like we always have we celebrated together.  Happy 28th birthday Ryan!
 Brian and the boys got me some flip flops
 AWESOME lounge pants that are packed away in my hospital bag, I will be wearing these to come home in.

My Next 30 Years by Tim McGraw

I think I’ll take a moment, celebrate my age
The ending of an era and the turning of a page
Now it’s time to focus in on where I go from here
Lord have mercy on my next thirty years

Hey my next thirty years I’m gonna have some fun
Try to forget about all the crazy things I’ve done
Maybe now I’ve conquered all my adolescent fears
And I’ll do it better in my next thirty years

My next thirty years I’m gonna settle all the scores
Cry a little less, laugh a little more
Find a world of happiness without the hate and fear
Figure out just what I’m doing here
In my next thirty years

Oh my next thirty years, I’m gonna watch my weight
Eat a few more salads and not stay up so late
Drink a little lemonade and not so many beers
Maybe I’ll remember my next thirty years

My next thirty years will be the best years of my life
Raise a little family and hang out with my wife
Spend precious moments with the ones that I hold dear
Make up for lost time here, in my next thirty years
In my next thirty years
