Doctors Visit

Today is Friday December 26th and I had another doctors appointment, I am starting to become best friends with my doctor for as much as I see her :) Thankfully everything is still going well, the heartbeat was strong and my belly is measuring another inch larger, how I'm not sure? I have been feeling really good lately, I hope it continues for the next 8 weeks.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

We hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas Day! Hope Santa was good to everyone!

Here are baby's gifts from Santa and Daddy enjoying his new massage chair from Santa! Mommy's gift from Santa (not pictured) a new Tiffany's heart locket with Mom on it!

SHOWERED with pink!

My mom and sister threw me a baby shower on December 23rd. What a fun shower, not one detail from decorations, to food had been forgotten. Baby girl got lots of fun things, including her very own tutu from her favorite Auntie Carrie! I was very fortunate to have many great friends there and I appreciate everyone coming to help me celebrate! Here are some of the fun pictures.



How cute are these cupcakes? With pink booties on top! They were delicious!

Here are some pictures of some of my favorite parts of the decorations, the clothesline of baby clothes. Which happen to be baby clothes Carrie and I used to wear as babies. The pacifiers made from life savers and the cupcake cake!




Her Future Aunts.....

Babys Room with Furniture

As an early Christmas gift, baby's furniture was delivered by Nebraska Furniture Mart on Tuesday. It looks so cute, she is going to have a nicer bed then mom and dad!

Baby Bump - 30 Weeks

OMG! I can't believe I am already 30 weeks along, and standing in my future daughters room. Only 10 more weeks or less before she is here!!! I just recently saw the doctor and she said everything looks good. My belly has grown again from 26 inches to now 30 inches. She thinks everything looks right on track. She is now weighing in at 3 lbs and is probably around 17 inches in length. As my belly grows bigger and bigger I know its getting harder and harder for her to move around in there, I am feeling jabs and pokes from elbows, knees, and her little butt. Sometimes it hurts!!! The cool thing is you can definitely tell when she is moving because you can see it and feel it on my stomach.

Babys Room

Here are all of her cute little clothes. I just finished washing them and hanging them up in her room. I am ready to dress her up in all of them!



Here is the finished baby's room, minus the crib. We are very excited at how cute it turned out especially with her bedding!

Third Trimester (already)

Well I am now a few days into my 28th week, which is the start of my 3rd trimester. I can hardly believe how fast it has all gone by. In 12 short weeks she will be here :) Al and I can hardly wait. We will for sure be busy the next few weeks with the holidays approaching and preparing her room and our house for her arrival.

I have (knock on wood) still been feeling pretty well. Occasionally I get leg cramps during the night and have a hard time sleeping, but other than that I feel pretty good. Her once little flutters are no longer, now they are full fledged punches (Which sometimes are uncomfortable). I have also started to be able to feel when she has the hiccups. It's becoming increasing more difficult to bend over, put on my shoes and get out of bed. I can't stay in a seated or standing position for too long or my back and lower stomach will begin to ache. I wonder as the last weeks go by what else I will experience?
