34 weeks

sweet kitten is 34 weeks!  she should weigh somewhere around 4 3/4 pounds, like a cantaloupe.  she's at least 18 inches long but it feels like twice that considering she's somehow able to kick and punch me everywhere all at once.  we have 42 days left until her due date and i'm still mostly wearing my regular clothes.  i don't want to jinx myself, but i don't have any swelling or stretch marks.  i do have some pretty bad lower back and hip pain that is starting to impact my sleep, but if you know me at all you know i can sleep through anything.

we continue to be showered with gifts on an almost daily basis every time we check the mail.  cassondra sent a big box full of super cute outfits and various baby necessities.  we also received the adorable pack and play my mom sent and an epic care package full of oreos, cake mix, frosting, canned pumpkin, and fall/halloween decorations, which i immediately set up to go along with the stuff that colby's mom sent the week before.  i've been burning pumpkin spice candles every day and several surfaces in our apartment are now covered with fake leaves, pumpkins and skeletons.  and speaking of leaves, i got the sweetest little package in the mail the other day from leann full of actual fall leaves from illinois!  i haven't gotten around to taking pictures yet, but there will be a photo bomb post soon, i promise.

it sucks being so far away from everyone, but we feel extremely lucky and loved to have so many amazing people caring about us and our baby cat!!!

xoxoxo

p.s. i never got around to posting the 33 week pics because i didn't care for any of them, but i did upload a few to the photo album.

    1. yay we love surprises! from the registries, the things we still need are the ergo carrier, bottles, grooming kit (nose sucker, thermometer, etc.), some kind of bouncer or play gym, and maybe some diapers until we get in a groove with the cloth. colby's mom got us the car seat so we're pretty close to having all the absolute necessities!!! she could be here in a few weeks!
