How far along are you? 17 weeks

Total weight gain: 8lbs
Maternity clothes? Getting closer to only maternity clothes..
Stretch marks?  nothing new
Sleep: I wish I could say this is getting better but it’s not.. I am looking into different things to help – diffusing oils, warm water with lemon, baths and acupuncture 
Best moment this week: finding out the gender of baby Murray #3
Miss Anything? Super hot bubble baths.
Movement: yes – little flutters
Food cravings: None- having more food aversions then anything.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Lots of food .. if I see certain foods my stomach starts to turn.
Gender predictions: No more need to predict 🙂 See the end of the post for our gender reveal!
Labor Signs: no .
Belly Button in or out? In .. Never popped with the girls so hoping it stays in.
Wedding rings on or off? on.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy 🙂
Looking forward to: Working on the girls room so Beth can move out of the nursery and into her big girl room with Madison.
On Friday at our ultrasound we were able to find out the gender of baby Murray! This experience is totally new to us as we didn’t find out with either of the girls. We decided to find out the gender at the office and then give the girls icing filled cupcakes. Madison had been saying boy the entire time so we were shocked to find out she was right!
13621889_10208273613231689_171343973_oBeth was very confused and actually looked like she was going to cry, she didn’t understand blue means a brother she just wanted pink icing! Madison on the other hand was genuinely happy and so excited!
We are very excited to be welcoming a baby boy come December and we can’t wait to watch the girls become the best big sisters!
