Week 27

The weeks are flying by and we have finally made it to Third Trimester! Everyday it seems more and more real that soon Brad and I will have a little baby girl enter this world.  This last week was an amazing week of the pregnancy.  My mom held my first baby shower back home in Michigan and I was able to see and spend time with my family before the little one arrived.  My mom did an amazing job with the shower.  Thanks mom! And thank you to my aunts who also brought some really good things to eat.  The little one has a great start to her wardrobe collection thanks to some stylish outfits, as well as, some much needed items that will keep her warm, her tummy full, and help her go to sleep. Below is my 27th weeks picture along with some pictures from the shower and you can sure tell we had a great time!










We measured my belly then, 

Everyone had to guess how big my belly was. 



We also played the Poopy diaper game...




*Maternity Clothes: Yes, yes, yes. 
*Sleep: The body pillow is a life saver!
*Stretch Marks: Nope, thank goodness!
*Best Moments of the week: Having my first baby shower!
*Miss Anything: Being able to paint my toes!
*Food Cravings: Root Beer and ice cream
*Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope
*Have you started to show yet: Yes, its hard to miss.  
*Gender: It's a Girl! 
*Belly Button in or out: in
*Wedding Rings on or off: Off, and not thrilled. 
*Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy
*Looking forward to: Going to the doctor this week and hearing the heartbeat!
*How's the hubs: He's very excited hunting season has begun!

Week 25

Only 103 days until we get to meet this precious little girl!  It seems like a long time but its really not!  The little one is moving around a lot and her kicks are getting even stronger.  She is about 13 1/2 inches long and weighs about a pound and half.   Her hair is growing and if we could see it, we would know what color it was.  I have a feeling its going to be brown just like her daddy and me.   She is also starting to put her baby fat.  Brad and I have the nursery furniture put together and we are waiting on the rocking chair which arrives this weekend.    We will then start arranging the furniture and begin to decorate it.  Once decorations are up, I'll post a picture.   I had a visit to the doctor last Thursday and she said everything is measuring up great and the babies heartbeat was around 140 which she said was perfect!    I have had a few stubborn pregnancy symptoms such as tingling in my fingers when sleeping and throughout the day.  Glucose test is this week, so I will let you know how it goes! I'm pretty sure I handle sugar very well with all the candy I love, but we will see.


*Maternity Clothes: Yes, and thanks to Jill I have more options! 
*Sleep: It's hard to get comfortable
*Stretch Marks: Nope, thank goodness!
*Best Moments of the week: Putting together the baby furniture with my love. 
*Miss Anything: Shopping for normal clothes. 
*Food Cravings: Root Beer and ice cream
*Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope
*Have you started to show yet: Yes, its hard to miss.  
*Gender: It's a Girl! 
*Belly Button in or out: in
*Wedding Rings on or off: Off, and not thrilled. 
*Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy
*Looking forward to: My baby shower next week in Michigan, seeing and spending time my family, and getting the nursery ready. 
*How's the hubs: He's been very busy with work, studying for his oral boards, and getting ready for deer season with starts in 2 weeks. He had a fun putting together the crib and dresser and watching the nursery come together.
