Maternity Pictures and a Pregnancy Update!

So basically I can't believe it's already been a month since I hit 30 weeks... Where does the time go?! I SO don't feel ready to have a HUMAN in a month and a half!

Yes... you read that right... a month and a half... or less... Then we will have our very own Mini Hall. 

9 months of baby prep is not enough time, if you ask me! Give me the gestational time frame of an elephant and then maybe just maybe I will be prepared for when this baby comes! 

So what's new with us? Here is a bump-date!

Maternity Pictures!

So so so so so happy about these! We've only gotten a few back so far, but I love them! And the one on the top of this post is totally getting framed for our living room! 

We went to a park near our home to take the pictures. It was hot hot hot! I got some nasty sweat marks... but thankfully they didn't show up in the pictures!

The back pain is bad! I'm sore all the time and can rarely get comfortable. Speaking of comfortable... most nights sleep is very difficult. I toss and turn (slowly and manatee-like) throughout the night as I try to get some sleep. Not to mention the middle of the night trips to the loo. :( But other than those things I'm doing pretty dang good... most days :)

I've had two amazing baby showers so far and another coming up at the beginning of next month for my other side of the family! I seriously have the best friends and family!!! Baby Hall and I are so spoiled rotten! Hopefully coming up soon will be a post about each shower- since they were too much fun to shove into this post!

YES! As of yesterday I have packed my hospital bag...mostly! Ahh that makes me so nervous (even though she will probably be stubborn like her dad and I were and stay cooped up in there for an extra two weeks!)

This week baby weighs as much as a 5 pound bag of flour and is as big as a Butternut Squash! At my appointment last week the doctor said I was measuring about a half a week ahead (so she might be even bigger than that!) I feel her moving A LOT (she is truly a little wiggles)! She gets hiccups often and likes to push over to one side or the other and make me lopsided :) 

She is also becoming more sensitive to light. The other day the hubbs and I put a flashlight up to my belly and she kicked/punched at it. Then we moved it and she kicked/punched again a few times in different spots (I know... we are probably mean to flash bright lights in her face where she can't escape ;).
