"your tummy is full enough"

I can pretty much expect a new comment out of my sweet little daughter's mouth regarding my big belly on a daily basis now.
"mommy, your belly is much bigger today"
"mommy....your tummy is full enough now"

oh, my sweet girl. 
and they aren't entirely uncalled for.
This belly and this baby has gone through a big growth spurt the last 6 weeks.
I'm afraid there is no slowing it down, although I am really hoping so!
When you are used to stepping on the scale and seeing the same number for 10 weeks straight and then stepping on and seeing a new pound each week, well you just want to go back to those sweet 10 weeks of blissful no weight-gain.  I am eating so good and staying active with a 3 year old, but it's unstoppable when you get into the last weeks I guess.
We are now in the stage where baby is growing and adding lots of little baby chubbiness.
She herself has gained at least 2 pounds in the last 6 weeks, so I can subtract that from mine right?? ;)
Either way, we are nearing the home stretch and so glad that she is growing big and strong and healthy.  When she is quiet and sleepy she is very still, but when it's her active time - watch out! because I get trampled on in every which way inside this belly.  She is a mover and roller.

Otherwise, everything is going well baby and pregnancy-wise.

Quinn is very much ready for baby, we think.
She seems to know that baby is coming soon, she talks about baby sister being born a lot now.
Plus her sister's room is all ready to go!  Quinn and I did some final touches this week.

Otherwise, like many households, our house has been "Frozen" mania since Easter.  We have only watched the movie once, but the album is requested in the car every time we drive somewhere.  So, lyrics are being memorized and sung at all times of the day.  Elsa or Anna braids are asked for everyday and fixed about a dozen times during the day (because she loves to touch and play with the braids in her hair).  Today, it's Anna braids, 2 braids, so it's a special day from her regular Elsa request.

It's busy spring season, we have had family house guests the last two weekends and lots more the next two weekends.  Just a busy time of year and many little events coming up.  Looking forward to them all, especially if they speed up time a little and we get closer to baby girl being here.  I am much more anxious to get to that 37 week mark and be ready for baby to come at anytime than I was with Quinn.  I know May will fly by fast though!

Grocery shopping and house cleaning is on our agenda today, anyone have more exciting plans that would like to trade? :)  Enjoy the day!

Just a reminder, before you're too "Full". Ally and I would love to hang out with Quinn if you and Todd have time for a "date". Ally loves to braid hair and loves Frozen too :)
