32 Weeks! / Big Creek Shower


*32 weeks
*3rd Trimester!
*Knox is the size of a jicama... Zach and I actually just bought one of these the week before. I had no clue what it was. But it was pretty good!
*my belly is steadily growing! 
*taught 6 classes this week but only participated in 1. they have taken half of my classes off my plate. which I appreciate so much! the last month (since the hailstorm) has been very tiring. so much has been going on. getting things straightened out with insurance/baby showers/writing thank you cards/getting up at 3am everyday... it was getting the best of me.
*I did mow 75% of the yard on Wednesday. I probably could have finished it but I was listening to my body and made myself stop and let Zach finish it. 
*SI joints are still giving me fits but I just deal with it as much as I can... the P.T. department downstairs is really great about helping me out whenever I need them to relieve the pain. but I try to live it with for as long as I can before I bother them.  
*energy has been low. 
*sleep is good for the most part... I fall asleep very quickly and the sleep is very deep but then several hours before my alarm clock goes off I am partially awake and just laying there tossing and turning. 
*craving banana covered with natural peanut butter, fruit, and chocolate. if this is the worst I can do, I think I am doing pretty good!
*appetite is still good. feeling like a very large stuffed turkey when I get done eating!
*I have been experiencing Braxton Hicks contractions. some days it seems like I have a lot (when I am more active).  the doctor said as long as I don't have 4 in a hour everything is okay. 
*Knox has still been very active. 
*He has also found my rib cage.... not to comfy!
*next appointment is April 30th. 

Knox was showered again last Saturday! Zach and I drove up to Big Creek, MS (Zach's parents home) for our last shower. I must say.... it was a great turn out!

The cake was so cute. It was not gluten-free so Zach and I did not eat any of it but from what everyone told us, it was delicious. It matched the plates and napkins.
I was so excited to see this girl there! She helped me open all of Knox's gifts and I couldn't have done it without her!
 Me, Zach and my wonderful mom aka "Nana-Darlin".
 It meant so much to me that my sister, Brooklee and mom drove all the way to Big Creek!
Me, Zach, his wonderful mom aka "Mimi," his brother Casey and sister Corie. 
Zach's sweet grandmother, Sa. 
 Zach's grandmother, Ann.
My grandparents made the trip too!
 Zach, Molly (his grandmother) and me.
Knox loaded up... again!
Who knew a tiny little baby requires so much! 

All I know is, we are so incredibly thankful for all the wonderful things. All of Knox's showers have been amazing and there aren't really any words to describe how Zach and I feel. Baby items are expensive and we wouldn't have been able to get all of this on our own. 

We are done with baby showers and now all we are waiting for is our sweet little man!!!
