Bumpdate: 36 Weeks!

How far along are you: 36 Weeks!

Size: Honeydew (4.2-5.8 pounds)

Cravings: I don't think it's a real craving, but blackberries and quesadillas (not together) have been hitting the spot lately!

Nauseated: Nope. Luckily I never really had to endure the nauseous stuff!

Sleep: Oh sleeping has just barely gotten rough. It's probably bad that I'm writing today because up until this point sleeping has been pretty breezey besides the having to pee every few hours. But, last night I could not get comfortable on my side so I had to sleep in a chair and I woke up so sore. I have a feeling sleeping is only downhill from here.

Shopping: I pretty much have everything now at least for when she's born. I now am just searching for cute little bows! I love the knot bows, but I'm just too lazy to make them so I've been finding cute ones here and there!

Maternity clothes: Dresses are my jam. They always have been, but I pretty much wear nothing else now. I mostly rotate between a few of the most comfortable so don't judge me if you see me wearing the same outfit again! 

Nursery: We are moving a month after the baby is born so I haven't been able to set up a nursery per say, but we have everything ready for her! And once we get home I'm sure the nursery will be the first thing moved in. :)

Best pregnancy moment: I just love feeling her move! We went to see Jurassic World and at every loud part it was like a earthquake in my tummy! It's the best feeling in the world. It just makes it feel like we're hanging out!

Most nervous about: I think I'm most nervous about just labor in general. For a while I just didn't think about it, but now knowing that I will be going through it in just a couple of weeks... it gives me shivers! I'm also a little nervous about breastfeeding...I've just heard wayy too many horror stories.

Looking forward to: I'm SO excited to see Rosie's sweet little face! I want to see what she has from both me and Ryan and just to be able to look at her and know she's mine! I feel like that will be the craziest/most amazing feeling in the world!!

The Classic Pregnancy Post...

I thought it may be time to do the classic pregnancy questions post...

How far along are you: 16 Weeks

Size: Avocado (4.6 inches/3.5 ounces)

Cravings: None! I haven't had any all pregnancy...I kinda wish I did just so I could have an excuse to eat all of the terrible things I want to :)

Nauseated: Nope! I have been so lucky. In the first little while I had to snack every couple hours or else I'd get a little nauseous, but like barely. I haven't been sick at all! Sometimes I really forget that I'm pregnant.

Sleep: I have the CRAZIEST dreams!! Seriously when I wake up I feel like my brain has been working out all night. And my dreams range from running through cotton candy fields to hiding from crazy people...My brain is just having a ball up there!

Shopping: I am obsessed with everything girly it's killing me. We've gone shopping a few places and I've bought some pretty incredible outfits. Old Navy had a 50% off sale...hellloooo obviously I bought one thousand things. 

Maternity clothes: I just bought the most amazing dresses from ASOS and they're the first maternity clothes I've bought. The floral dress in the pic above is the most amazing find! It's just stretchy and amazing and it feels like I'm not wearing anything...it's a magical thing.

Nursery: I have decided that I want watercolors to decorate her nursery so I've been collecting adorable little sayings and what not and I'm obsessed.

Best pregnancy moment: Seeing the baby in our gender ultrasound. Seeing the little nose and legs and having it look like a real baby! I just can't believe she's really in there! I was pretty much yelling with excitement. It was an incredible feeling.

Most nervous about: Being a mom! I just can't believe that I'm actually going to be a mom! There are so many things to think about! Now don't get me wrong I'm so excited, but watching my mom, who just is a master of all things and then thinking about trying to do that myself...just a little overwhelming.

Looking forward to: Feeling her kick! I'm so excited to actually feel her! Right now it just still feels like a dream that's too good to be true and it doesn't seem real! I'm so excited to feel her moving.

Her Name...

(A little print I ordered for our nursery from Little Emma's Flowers)

If we had a boy, we knew exactly what the name would be, but we were more iffy on the girl name. We went into it thinking Elle would be the name, but there was something about it that just wasn't quite cozy enough. I just couldn't wrap my heart around it so we kept brainstorming...You have NO idea how many names we went through. 

This one day Ryan made sausage and our house smelled horrible...and being pregnant those bad smells just don't sit well with me. So we decided to be super classy and go to the school building right by our house and cook top ramen in the microwaves over there...yeah...we fancy. So we're in the elevator on the way up and Ryan is listing off names...he said a few and almost all of them I immediately responded with a repulsed look or sound (bad wife moment). Ryan really liked the ones he was listing...oopsies. Before he said the next one he had to warn me..."Annie I really like this one so please just think about it." And I realized I needed to be a little better with my responses. Ready this time I responded with a "Okay, what is it?" Again, we're in the elevator...just us two and he says, "I just texted it to you." He was SO nervous and it was the cutest thing in the entire world! I was obviously obsessed with him for a second and then took a look at my phone. "Rosalie." 

I thought about it. I was really unsure about it at first. I don't know why, but I just couldn't tell how I felt about it. I liked it, but could I see my baby being named that...I couldn't tell yet. But, then I started to really thinking about it. I imagined calling her Rosie and I imagined her introducing herself as Rosalie... and it started to sink in...I was falling in love with it. Over the next few days Ryan kept referring to her as Rosie and Rosalie and it just fit! That was the name! So at least as of now... We will be welcoming a little Rosalie Jean Kimball into our family!!! Jean is the middle name of all of Ryan's grandmothers, his sister Cassidy and my sister-in-law Holly so that was the easy part. 

Anyway, Rosalie Jean. I hope you love it as much as we do!! :)
