Arizona Vacation

It's been a while since I've written a post...no excuse for that!  We just got back from a lovely vacation to Arizona though, for our 5th Easter in a row.  Q definitely got spoiled by her grandparents and started saying so many new things!

Some of Q's new words:
- "Tin!" (in response to "what's your name?")
- "outside" (although it sounds more like "ah-sigh")
- "pool" and "sim" (super close to actually saying "swim")
- "all done"
- "Tate" and "Tert" (for my aunt/uncle Kate and Kirk)
- "Maree" (for our cat, Marley)
- counting to 10

On that note, Q can count to 10 with a little bit of help!  Usually she can be counted on to get 1, 2 and 6-10 in the right order, but she misses some of the numbers in the middle unless she has some help.  Still though, we were completely dumbfounded that she has been able to do this!  Check out the video link below :)

Q Counting

And here is the latest Yoda update:

How far along? 30 weeks 3 days
Total weight gain: 36 lbs (I'm assuming that there is still vacation bloat going on...hopefully!)
Maternity clothes? Always...and still so comfy!
Stretch marks? Nope! Knock on wood!
Best moment this week: Hearing Yoda's heartbeat at the midwife office...super strong and healthy!  And then Yoda booted the doppler which was quite funny
Miss anything: Being able to touch the floor without feeling like I am going to throw up
Movement: Big stretches and my belly jumps around a lot
Food cravings: Cinnamon raisin bagels...I'm going to go make one right after this post
Anything making you queasy or sick: Only trying to reach things on the floor
Have you started to show yet: The bump is out in full force
Gender: Team Green
Labor Signs: Nope, with just occasional Braxton-Hicks
Belly Button in or out? In, but likes to kind of pop out whenever I laugh
Wedding rings on or off? On. 
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! It's been a good week :) 
Looking forward to: Meeting Yoda in hopefully less than 10 weeks!

I went shopping at an awesome maternity store when in Arizona and got some great PJs and nursing tops.  Target also carries nursing bras for a great price, so I picked up some of those as well.  It's crazy to think that this baby is going to be here so soon and yet it seems so far away!
