35 , 36, 37, 38 and maternity pics

Well I have been a serious slacker on keeping this thing updated with pics and info so here is a recap for the past month.  35 weeks:

36 weeks:

37 weeks:

38 weeks:

Although my face doesn't show it, I truly feel great. I guess my serious face translates to "your face says it all", "you look so ready to be done", "you poor thing, you look miserable".  I have had a wonderful pregnancy and really truly enjoy being pregnant. I have a feeling I will miss it. Well, not the restless nights in bed, up every hour to go pee, or feeling like humpty dumpty on the couch. But, I will genuinely miss it. However, I CAN NOT wait to meet this little one. The anticipation is absolutely killing me!!

Here are a couple maternity pictures. My 2 besties, Deanna and Allyson bought us a photo shoot. We had ours pictures taken by the lovely Stacey Anne at Wash park on September 4th. She did a wonderful job and we love them. Thanks Al and Dee for the WONDERFUL gift. We will treasure them for ever!

 And lastly here are our cute four legged fur babies. They are growing increasingly suspicious of what is yet to come!! They spend alot of time sniffing out the nursery and all the new stuff that is in there. I will post pics of the nursery next week. I just need to take the time to find space for all the stuff (stroller, swing, pack and play, bouncy seat, etc. etc) and make it look picture ready.  Ohhh, and get curtains!!  Maybe I will have time tonight!  Enjoy!!

Brand new today, too big for emails..

33 and 34 weeks

Went to the doc on August 24th and she said I'm measuring 3 weeks ahead. She went ahead and ordered another ultrasound so they can get a more accurate measurement of exactly how big this not so little one will be.  I have been having alot of hip and leg pain. My feet are also extremely swollen all the time but my blood pressure is perfect. I'm trying to stay off my feet as much as possible but get its hard to keep me down. There is so much to do still. We are finishing the changing table this week so as soon as that is finished the nursery will be finished too. I'm looking forward to maternity photos and my work baby shower.  I'm getting very antsy thinking about being a mom, going through labor and getting used to my new lifestyle. I wouldn't trade it for anything. I've never been happier I'm just very anxious!!  Here are my 33 and 34 week photos. This week the baby is about the size of a pineapple and weighs around 5 pounds. His/her little feet are constantly jabbing me in my ribs and I love it. Seriously.  Its a great feeling.  Ill post more next Wednesday after our appointment. 

33 weeks

34 weeks

31st and 32 weeks

I got a little behind on updated weekly belly pics so here is 31 and 32. I went to the doc during week 31. She said baby is cooking wonderfully. He/she is about 4 lbs already and turned head down. I am feeling a ton of movement all the time and love every minute of it. Dan has finally been able to feel some pretty strong kicks and daily I can see movement on the outside. My favorite is to set the remote on my belly and watch it move away. Its the best!! I have another appointment on August 24th and will visit the doc every 2 weeks from here on out. Im getting very anxious to meet this little!!

Baby Shower

Thank you to my Mom, Uncle Pat, Aunt Joan, and Nae for throwing me the most wonderful baby shower a girl could ask for. I love you all and you all are very important to us. I cant wait for this little one to meet his/her amazing family!! 

Here is a picture of the nursery after we unloaded all of the presents.  We received pretty much everything we needed and are SO BLESSED to have such amazing family and friends!! Thank you everyone!  More pics to come after we finish the changing table,get everything organized, decorations hung, etc.
