33 Weeks- She is Kicking me in the Ribs....A lot!

Week 33 and I am slowly getting bigger. People still tell me that I am tiny for how far along I am. I guess that is a good thing!

Week 33 is here and there isn't too much excitement going on other than lots of kicking.  When we were watching game 6 of the World Series  last week, I haven't felt that much movement ever! I think I was so nervous for the Rangers that she knew what was going on!  My doctor appointments are now every two weeks, so I have another one this week.  I am sure pretty soon they will start to check if I am dilated or not.  It is crazy to think how fast these next few weeks are going to be! 

32 Weeks- Baby shower!!

Couples Baby Shower! We had our first baby shower on Saturday!

On Saturday we had our first baby shower.  Justin was really cute and wanted it to be a couples shower so guys were invited. We had a great time and felt really blessed by how generous and caring our friends were.  We are ready for this baby to come!  I have another shower at work in November, then we are done with showers and the next exciting thing is labor! Crazy!! 

31 Weeks- My 30th Birthday

Great Aunt Jan and Great Grandma sent us a brand new Pack and Play! Many a days/nights will be spent in here!

I just realized that if my birthday would have been last week, I would have be 30 on my 30th week of pregnancy. That would have been cool.  Oh, well!  Well, this was my birthday week and we had a nice time celebrating by going on a shoe hunt.  It took two days, but I found a new pair of shoes!  They are leather boots for the "winter" here in Dallas.  They are really cute! They only down side is that I am going to have to break down and buy a pair of skinny jeans.  I never thought I would buy a pair, but they will my my new boots look so much cuter! And that is very important!  I am still uncomfortable with my little girl moving all around in my belly, but it is comforting knowing she is healthy! That is all for now! Our 32 week check up is this week, so we hope all is well there.

30 Weeks- This is getting uncomfortable!

30 weeks along.  I am wearing a long sleeve shirt even though it was 80 degrees outside.  I am ready for fall weather, but Dallas has other ideas!

Well, we made it to 30 weeks.  Crazy to think only 10 more weeks to go (and that is if she decides to stay inside for that long!).  I was pretty uncomfortable all weekend. Every time I try to relax little baby girl decides it is time to wiggle and shake and move like crazy.  At work I am actually the most comfortable because I am up and moving all day and that is when she seems to like to rest.  What is hard to realize is that it is just going to get worse! And what is scary is that when I am finally comfortable again we will have a baby! Weird!  The only other exciting thing this week is that I turn the big 3-0 on Sunday.  No gray hairs or wrinkles yet!

29 Weeks- Nothing really exciting

We had a beautiful day the other day, so we took our picture outside. Justin wanted to make sure Kitty Cat got in the picture too!

Well, week 29 is pretty uneventful. I usually having something fun or exciting to talk about, but not this week. But I guess at this point, that is probably a good thing!  I am continuing to be uncomfortable and I know it will only get worse!  Sleeping isn't really that enjoyable because I can't seem to find the right position. I am a stomach sleeper so I am learning new ways to sleep. Poor Justin has to deal with all of my flopping at night!  I guess something that is exciting is that my 30th birthday is in a few weeks. Then I will officially be closer to 40 than 20. Crazy!  That is about it.  Maybe week 30 will be a bit more eventful!

28 Weeks- Baby Looking Good

28 weeks- My belly is continuing to grow and I am officially getting uncomfortable! 12 more weeks to go!

We had our 28 week check up this week.  Everything looks great. My blood pressure was 110/72 which is the best it has been in years! Who knew pregnancy would make my blood pressure go down?  Baby's heart rate was 141.  I asked the doctor if I can keep on running (more of a waddle/jog) and he said yes. He actually encouraged it!  So I was happy about that.  I am running only 1.7 miles at a 11-12 minute/mile pace, so a nice pace for me.  My back has actually been feeling pretty good too.  I am attributing that to having my hard patients at work discharge home. So no more heavy lifting.   I am getting pretty uncomfortable with my big ol' belly.  I can't sit up to straight or too far back.  Sleeping is getting annoying.  And now I can feel the baby moving pretty much all the time and she loves to kick me or get really wiggly right when I am trying to sleep!  The other exciting thing of the week is that we can now see movement by just looking at my stomach. It is crazy weird! We can also feel her head and we think her knees.  Crazy!  She just needs to cook for about three more months and then she will be here!

27 weeks- The Nursery is Coming Together

The crib is here!

Pieces everywhere.

All of the 0-3 month clothes!  It seems like way too much, but I have a feeling that this will barely be enough with poop, pee, and spit-up on everything!

We are slowing getting the nursery put together.  I think it is looking pretty good!  Justin did a great job putting together the crib and hanging up all the pictures he made.  We need to add a few more things to the walls and then I think we will be all set!  I finally went through all the clothes we received from our Chicago and KC trips and boy do we have a lot of clothes! I think we have more 3-6 month clothes than 0-3 months at this point.  The article of clothing I like best are the little socks.  They are so tiny and cute!

I am feeling pretty good still.  I am starting to get kicked in the ribs more often. Justin thinks it is pretty funny.  We ran out at the lake this Saturday.  It was wonderful! I should say that I am not really running.  It is more like a jog/waddle.  But my heart rate gets up and I am getting exercise!  Our 28 week appointment is on Thursday, so hope all is well!
