Weeks 30-33!! Just four more weeks to a term baby!

Week 30 was baby shower week!!!
Brad and I spent 4 days together in Oregon visiting family and friends. We had two baby showers, one was a BabyQ with friends in Portland, It was incredibly fun! A big thanks to Tom and Rikki for hosting the Baby Q! We had great food, lots of beer for those who could partake, and some fun games that even the guys played! It was great to watch the guys diaper stuffed animals and fish for safety pins in a bowl of rice.

Our second baby shower was with family and friends in Scappoose. We were spoiled with many guests, great food, beautiful decorations, and many gifts! Adrienne recieved more than half of her wardrobe at this shower along with many other adorable gifts.
Thank you to everyone who came! We are truly blessed to have such wonderful friends and family!

 This was our pile of gift bags taking up my moms living room.

Weeks 31 and 32 were busy. I spent a lot of time sorting through and organizing the baby clothing and getting some organization to the nursery!

The closet was all put together and organized the day we came back from oregon after our baby and then we had a bit of a closet disaster ( the shelf and curtain rod fell out of the wall due to improper installation by the contractor who flipped our house).... So we built a new way more awesome closet.

 Before the fall... We just had one shelf and one rod for hanging.

After the rebuild! we now have two shelves with two places to hang clothes and lots of room for more storage boxes. 

We also spent many hours painting the nursery, which turned out wonderful!!

And baby items have started to take over our entire house!

                                     The guest bed had to store the clothes during the closet rebuild.

Week 33... This week has been consumed with fine tuning. Organizing the nursery a little more each day and starting to work on hanging pictures/ decorating the wall.

The nursery is really coming together! we are getting very organized and things are starting to find their place! (Thanks to a lot of work and frequent trips to hobby lobby to buy 50% off storage boxes!). 

 We finally hung the chalkboard that i put together months ago, and next to that is the dreamcatcher that my grandpa lonny made for me when i was a child. I have saved a lot of little things to pass on from my childhood. This one is really special.

 The changing table is finally organized! The white crate is something that my mom made for us for Christmas last year, it used to be lined with a different color of fabric and was kind of just sitting around with no purpose. So, i redecorated with a little fabric and re purposed it to be a diaper storage crate. I think it will come in very handy. This crate is full of all the diapers that people wrote cute messages on at the baby shower so we look forward to seeing everyone's comments once she is here!

 The bookshelf is starting to become declutered! I think these frames will eventually go on the wall somewhere but i havent quite decided where.

I made this bin to store headbands, it can fit them around and inside. Its a recycled Oatmeal container covered with extra scrap fabric that i had left over from lining our diaper crate that is on the changing table.

And... I made this for hairbows. We only have 6 clip on ones so far but am sure she will have plenty more someday and this will give us a great place to store them. Plus it serves as a decoration also! 

Brad and i are getting very excited to meet Adrienne! It feels so crazy that in 4 weeks we will have a full term baby that could be born anytime. I feel like 4 weeks will go buy very fast, the next 4 weeks are incredibly busy. I will work nights for 2 weeks, visit lots of friends and family. With work and all of our planned events time is going to fly by and we will have a little girl before we know it!

Now for the weekly Stats!
How many weeks: 33 weeks and 2 days today. 
This week baby is...... about 17.5 inches. 
This week our baby weighs..... 5 Lbs. Her weight was estimated at 4 lbs 10 oz ( which the doctor said he thought was generous) at her 32 week appointment so we estimate she is probably somewhere around 5 lbs this week.
This week  baby girl.....Is growing fast! and let me tell you mommy can definitely feel her little body expanding. 
 Boy or girl? GIRL!!!
Total weight gain/ loss: +25 ish.
Showing: yep
Maternity Clothes: Definitely in maternity clothes now.
Best moment this week: Hiccups! the last few weeks i have started to really be able to feel her hiccups and i think its pretty cool! 
Food cravings: just sweets, i think that pregnancy is really just an excuse to crave things that you already want anyways and normally wouldnt justify eating... and i am sure that that is the real reason why i want sweets all the time.
Miss anything?: Sushi!!everything else i have seemed to find an adequate substitute for but nothing can replace sushi!
Anything making you sick: Nope
Pregnancy symptoms: third trimester tiredness, insomnia, and heartburn are all settling themselves in for the next 7 weeks. 
Movement: yep. She moves around like crazy all the time. And best news... She flipped her body around and was head down at 32 weeks! Now to just stay that way. 
Gender prediction: It's a Girl!
We call our baby:  Adrienne Elizabeth Gochnauer is her name!
Looking forward to: Celebrating the marriage of my dear friends kathryn and chris this weekend!


Until Next Week,
Shyla
