Best moment this week: We got to see Harper in 4D!!! She has Nick's lips, my nose, and huge cheeks lol :) We are going to have one pretty little princess!
Miss Anything? everything - I am officially at the "uncomfortable" stage, out of breath often & I am really missing being able to put my own socks and shoes on without getting out of breath and wanting to cry out of frustration

Food cravings: still craving sweets... enjoy having a nightly dessert lol
Anything making you queasy or sick: not much
Gender: Girl

Belly Button in or out? top is starting to pop out! but it's still in limbo
Wedding rings on or off? off :( better to be safe than sorry because they were starting to get tight.  Hubby was worried they would get stuck and I would have to get them cut off ( He would NOT be happy with me if that happened!)
Happy or Moody most of the time: Starting to feel pretty moody :(
Looking forward to: finishing the nursery & organizing all of the adorable clothes... I love looking at all of them!! Also, next weekend we will have our maternity pictures!! 

*Harper in 4D*

My momma came into town this weekend and finally got to come to an ultra sound!  We went and saw our baby girl in 4D again.  It is sooo amazing to see this little one Nick and I created together.  Pretty cute huh??!!  I mean just look at those cheeks :)  We have decided she definitely has my nose and Nick's lips, which is good because the James nose is a curse lol (just kidding, but really!!)   Although we still need to get a lot done and are a little nervous about how everything will go, we are beyond excited to meet our baby girl.  We LOVE you with all our hearts already Harper Sophia :)
