week 32

average size: 15.2 to 16.7 inches, 2.5 to 3.8 lbs.
what's going on with baby: "She's getting ready for her descent. She's likely in the head-down position now, and she's probably feeling even more cramped!"


sounds about right! here is my 32 week bump photo!

and my friend tony made this updated gif file of my bump progress! i love seeing it grow so quickly! 

so cool!!! :D it's hilarious to see my shirt creep up at the end too hahaha....

and this past week i felt her have hiccups! it was a rhythmical tapping feeling. so weird!

also, this past weekend was our baby shower!

it was SO much fun. it was at the wine bar in rocky river, and everything was perfect! even the weather! 

my mom made me this beautiful corsage to wear:

here are the yummy favors:

and centerpieces:

and the adorable menus with the custom message we wanted!

cute confetti was on all the tables:

and i know it's hard to see because i couldn't find a good spot to take the photo without reflection, but here are photos of me and erik as babies! haha :) 

my mom also made this SUPER CUTE "rose" bouquet out of pink baby socks!!! LOVE this! so, so, so, adorable!

and she decorated the backs of our chairs too!

these fun little coasters were also on all the tables with questions/facts about babies. 7,300 diapers in 2 years is a LOT of diapers! hahaha...another reason why i'm happy we're cloth diapering! sure it's a lot of laundry, but think about how much disposables would cost!

and the lovely cassata cake! it was SO yummy!!!

there were also fabric pens and blank bibs on all the tables for everyone to decorate for remi! so fun! now she is super stocked up on bibs made by people who love her! 

and everyone also wrote a message to remi on a piece of paper so that later on once she gets older, we can show them all to her! here are just a few:

my mom:

 my aunt ly'nette and erik's mom:

erik's sister (left), aunt patti, and cousin falicia:

my aunt joann, and aunt ria:

then a big "aunt war" broke out, and all the aunts were claiming that they will be her favorite aunt hahaha! so, we took this fun photo of all the aunts together :) 

so awesome! then it was time for presents! 

we're cracking up in this photo because this diaper bag is called the "diaper dude". erik was really hoping he would get this hahaha...but he always calls it the "baby bro bag" LOL! 

and wonderful homemade blankets!

we had such an amazing time!!! everything was perfect, and we're so lucky to have such wonderful friends and family who are anxious to meet remi :) she is very loved!
