7 Months Down 3 To Go

I know it's been a while since I've posted about what's going on
in the Anderson household.  It seems like every spare minute we have
we are running around for family stuff and just enjoying each others company.

Its crazy to think that our Lyvi could be here in 9 weeks if she wanted. (In 9 weeks I will be 37 weeks prego which is considered full term!)  We are hoping she does because
we are eager for her to get here.  A quick update on her and how I've been feeling.

I am currently 27.5 weeks prego.  I've gained 15 pounds--although it feels like 50.
I have finally forked out the money for a good fitting pair of maternity jeans. 
(I went to Old Navy and bought some skinny jeans--love them!)
Right now, I am feeling really good.  The second trimester was definately the hardest on my
body physically. The biggest problem is my sleeping patterns. I have insomnia half the time,
and the other half of the time I am out by 9pm at the latest. 

As for our little girl, she is growing right on track. She has FINALLY realized there is
more space outside of my hips--HOORAY! Which has been super nice for me, now that I can
walk again. With her discovery of new space, came her love of doing flips and bouncing from each side of the uterus.  She moves around so much its unreal, but really fun to watch too.
Austin loves to feel her kick and talks to her all the time. 
She already has him wrapped around her finger, and he knows it.

As for right now, we are just enjoying our time with each other and getting
ready for Alyviah to get here!

Swiss Days


Yesterday, I attended Swiss Days in Midway with the girls in the Anderson home.  It was so much fun, and I absolutely loved it!  Lots of fun jewlery and crafts.  Its a dream place the spend a day for shopping girl like me.

However, I do have to say that Swiss Days is not meant for a 6 month pregnant girl. Ha
I thought I could handle it, but I am definately feeling the pain today of walking around
in the heat and walking to begin with.  Lyvi just loves to hang out in my hips, which I usually don't mind, unless I am trying to walk around. Hopefully she realizes there is so much more room for her to grow!  Only time can tell.
