Officially 3 weeks to go! Unbelievable! I have Karris' bag packed and I am working on mine. I ordered a cute gown for the hospital, it is pink with white polka dots - it came in yesterday! My mom got me a pretty gown to wear for the hospital stay yesterday as well when we met in Charleston. I haven't gotten anything for myself in so long, it was nice to have a few surprises. Then afterwards I, of course went shopping for Karris in Mt. Pleasant. I got her a really cute dress - it is for 9 months, so she will get to wear it next summer. I know I have her tons of clothes, but I store in Mt. P had everything half off because they are about to get in a whole new shipment - and it was one of my FAVORITE baby brands Le' Za Me! So, I couldn't help myself. I think the whole idea of a "cute" hospital gown was a fun idea. Believe me, from being in and out of hospitals the past few years with nursing - the gowns are not cute haha. Maybe that's why I am concerned lol. Most people probably don't care! But, it's one of those feel good things! Etsy has a lot to pick from. I ordered mine from Baby Be Mine - I tried it on this morning haha.
Daniel is getting so excited. He is ready to pack his bag too for the hospital. We will get to that this weekend. I have a checklist that my friend Jamie posted on her blog that was a big help! I go to the doctor on Tuesday for the 37 week appt. We will have an ultrasound then and see the doctor's "guess" of how much she weighs! And we will see if she has flipped. This morning when I woke up it felt like 2 feet up top instead of her head. So MAYBE she has flipped back?? We will see! I hope so :)

Baby it's HOT outside! Less than a month to go!
We have a month to go! So exciting! I hope she comes EARLY! :) Maybe another 2 weeks or so. Daniel and I visited our favorite place (Vegas) 2 weeks ago and we had a wonderful time! We figured we should get one last "Holly & Daniel" trip in before our sweet little girl arrives! We have been so busy with family in town. Daniel's parents came down 4th of July weekend, then my mom was here for a few days for my brother's wedding, and then Debbie was down from Monday until today! We have had a house full! Daniel's cousin Jordyn had us a baby shower on July 3 with some of his family. It was so much fun and we got so many sweet goodies! Jordyn is making me a little scrapbook of the journey of the baby blog - it made me cry of course at the shower. It was SO SWEET. :)

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gain of 26 pounds total - holy moly! Def still average, however I hope that if anything I will only gain another pound a week! :)
Movement: Karris is one busy little girl... she moves SO much! Unfortunately at my appointment before last, at 33 weeks the doctor told me that Karris is now breech and was lying basically side to side. At my appointment this past Monday (35 weeks) - he said that she has moved, unfortunately still not the right way (head down) - but she has moved more head up. Luckily the doctor thinks that she still could move the "right" way. He said there are definitely babies that he does not think are going to move the right way - but that he thinks Karris still is capable of getting the "right" way. So we shall see! I really hope she does because I do not want to have a C- section. However, if I have to, I have to and we will take it as it goes.
Sleep: I slept GREAT in Vegas ironically! I have good and bad nights now. I don't really even use an extra pillow these days. Mainly I just get HOT at night!
What I miss: my back not hurting :( I have been having major back issues lately. I think it is from being off work for a week and then starting back last Sunday.
Cravings: I have been eating a cheese quesadilla EVERY time I work. Other than that just my usual pizza and pimento cheeseburgers. Haha bad things :)
Best Moment this week: Hearing sweet Karris' heartbeat at the doctor Monday and feeling her moving around - even though it is ALL the time! :) Can't wait to meet this princess! Less than a month officially! EEK!
Preggo in VEGAS!
So pretty in Bellagio!
Cute candles Jordyn did for us :)
