This past week was pretty busy around our house! After we got back from Arizona, it was back to work for both J and me. We drove back from Arizona on Monday and then we headed up to LA on Friday to spend the weekend with my aunt and uncle for their Kentucky Derby party. We always have a great time when we go visit them and this weekend was no exception. I have never been to a Derby party but we were told that hats were required :) I am not really a hat person, particularly because my head is the size of an eight year old but I found a big floppy hat that matched my dress at Target. I am working on a very limited wardrobe right now so I didn't have the luxury of finding a cute hat and then picking a dress to match but I was happy with what I ended up with!
The party was a lot of fun and included lots of mint juleps (virgin for me of course), betting, delicious food and lots of hats! My Aunt C and Uncle C have a gorgeous yard with a lot of space and they had a tent set up with a tv so that we could all watch the Derby together.

We got lucky and had a gorgeous day for the party. Friday was really hot and it rained on Sunday but Saturday was perfect! I didn't get many pictures but it was a lot of fun to see what everyone was wearing!

C and C didn't want to let us leave emptryhanded so we ended up coming home with bourbon, flowers, and some chocolates. We really appreciate them hosting us for the weekend! We had a fabulous time!
On our way back down south today we stopped at Cafe Rio so that I could enjoy my favorite Cinco de Mayo meal since I can't have a margarita this year :)
Now onto the regular update:
How far along: 31 weeks
Baby is the size of a: Head of lettuce
Total Weight Gain: 17 lbs
Maternity Clothes: yes but a lot of my regular dresses still work
Sleep: I had one night where I was super restless and woke up a bunch with leg cramps (apparently a normal pregnancy symptom) but other than that sleep is still going pretty well!
Best Moment of the Week: The Kentucky Derby party with my Aunt, Uncle and Cousins
Miss Anything: It was a little sad to have virgin juleps instead of the regular ones and no margarita for Cinco de Mayo
Movement: He is still trying to train for kickboxing or something because he moves around a ton. He really seems to like to keep his feet up by my ribs which can get a bit painful
Food Cravings: Cafe Rio!
Symptoms: I think Baby M moved up a little (or just grew more) because I seem to be getting out of breath easier than I used to (like by walking up a flight of stairs) and it is getting harder to take a deep breath. I also had some leg cramps but I have avoided most of the bad symptoms. I have been drinking a ton of water and working out which I think has really helped.
Labor Signs: Nope!
Belly Button In or Out: In! Though the top part has started sticking up a little.
Looking Forward To: My 32 week doctor's appointment this week where I can hear the Little Dude's heartbeat :)
