38/39 weeks!

Update!!! I had my doctors appointment today and everything is looking great. Last night I had lots of braxton hicks contractions, nothing consistent :( But there is an end in sight! I am scheduled to go to the hospital Tuesday, March 6th at 8pm for an induction if she doesn't decide to come out on her own before then! I can't believe that she will be here in a week or less!! I am so excited to have an end date in sight, hopefully she comes naturally on her own before March 7th. But knowing that I have an end that isn't so far away has helped relieve some stress!

And, I think Matt and I have decided on a name....FINALLY! We have a list narrowed down to 3 names, but one name that we like the best. We are going to wait until we see our precious baby girl before we decide for sure. Well, I'm off to clean the whole house again...hopefully it will start some more contractions!!

36/37 weeks!

Oh my goodness, I'm 37 weeks pregnant! I never thought I would make it this far...whew!  Everything is going great, she is still measuring right on schedule so that's good. Matt and I just made a big trip to babies R us and got the rest of the stuff we needed to get ready for baby girl. And I must say I'm pretty proud of our coupon usage. We saved over $100.00! This Monday I have an appointment with a pediatrician we are thinking of using.  I  hope it goes well, I don't want to have to make more appointments to meet with pediatricians!

Last weekend we made a trip to Bartlesville, OK for a baby shower. (No I did not tell my doctor I was traveling, I'm pretty sure he would have told me NO, but nothing happened....it's all good!) It was a wonderful baby shower and I feel so blessed to have those people in our life! Here are some pictures I stole from my mother-in-law :)

The table with all the yummy treats!  

The hostess with the mostess...Gigi and I. 

My mom and Dad traveled all the way from Indiana. I was so happy to have them there! 

My mother-in-law Jan, Gigi and my mom. 

Playing games, my mom over estimated my belly size! 

Feeling very blessed with everyone's generosity! 

Opening gifts...the Quilt Matt's Aunt Ramona made, it has running shoes on the back...so cute! 

Once Matt and I got back from the shower we got to work completing the nursery! Here are some pictures of the finished product! 

And now we just wait for baby girl....SO EXCITED!

35 Weeks!

I thought this was fun! Only a couple more photos to go! 

     Well, my 35 week appointment went well today. She is still small, but growing! Now I'm going to weekly doctors appointments! That means I'm getting close!!  This weekend is our birthing class, I'm very interested in how Matt is going to do :)  Other then that not much is going on. I have done all of baby girl's laundry to get ready for her.  I guess you can say I'm nesting because I've been organizing various closets in the house too. If only I had the urge to clean the kitchen! Hope everyone has a great week!

34 weeks!

      Okay, sorry for posting a little late again! I try to post every Wednesday when I reach a new week, but I get tired by the time my photographer (Matt) gets home from work...I'm lazy. Anyway... here is my 34 week picture! I'm puffy everywhere these days, face, hands, feet, butt...you know. My belly button is officially confused! The top is an outie, the bottom flat. My engagement ring and wedding band no longer fit so I feel like an unwed teenage mother when I'm out and about sometimes. (Matt and I did get carded to see a rated R movie, so yeah...). 

     Also, I've got some good news and bad news. Good news...Our crib and dresser came in this past week!! Bad news....It was the wrong crib! Grr. At least I have the dresser to organize. I called the furniture store in a panic.  I don't exactly have 6-8 weeks to wait for a new crib to come in! The customer service lady assured me it would be here in 2 weeks and that they will deliver and assemble the crib! So that's nice. Fingers crossed the next crib is the right one!  I was able to sew the curtains for the nursery this week. And if I do say so myself they turned out really cute. I just need to get Matt to put in a hook so I can pull them to the side. I'm really excited and anxious to get the nursery completely done! Hopefully in 2 weeks! Well, until next week. Hope you have a great weekend! 

Sorry the lighting is so bad! The curtains are white with really light
pink polka dots, then I added pink puff ball trim to the edges! 

     

33 weeks!

       Hello! So, I can't believe I am 33 weeks! Only 4 weeks until this baby is considered full term, and only 7 weeks until my due date! Doctors appointment today went well. She is measuring at 32 weeks, but I am totally fine with a slightly smaller baby! The doctor wasn't concerned because she is growing...and boy the scale reflects that! After my appointment I raided Michael's scrapbook section and started making a mobile for the nursery! I only have 2 done so far but they turned out so cute I had to take a picture! Now if only our crib would make an appearance, I'd be a little less stressed out! Also, it's hard to nest without a dresser to organize...

P.S. I got the pattern for the paper globes on this blog. http://www.heatherbailey.typepad.com/ She has a pretty cool blog with some free patterns!

32 weeks!

   

      Here is my belly picture from 32 weeks. I don't feel much bigger than the last picture, but I still feel huge!  She has been super active, especially after my mint chocolate chip ice cream at night (okay and sometimes for breakfast!). I've been feeling great, more heartburn lately but still no morning sickness (fingers crossed).

Matt and I have slowly been getting our house into shape! I've decided it's good enough to post pictures. We still need curtains for most of the house. Of course the game room was first for curtains so there was no glare on Matt's Call of Duty video game...boys! Pretty soon the house will be taken over by baby stuff, but I can't wait!

 Here is the outside of the house, we love the location! It is 5 houses down from a park that is always full of kids playing and the entrance to the neighborhood has a small pond and waterfall! Hopefully we are here long enough for baby girl to enjoy the park!

Our bathroom completes the tour! Don't look in the closet that's where I put all our clothes that were on the floor for the picture...haha. 

31 Weeks!

     Well I think Matt and I realized this baby is going to be here in 2 months or less and freaked out! We have been busy busy busy. This past weekend we (Matt) painted the nursery, and framed the artwork. Matt finished his bookcase and I made bibs (mostly for fun). Now if only our furniture would get here! Unfortunately our glider will be getting here just as baby girl will be making her appearance!  Oh well. Here are some pictures from the past weekend...

This is the artwork we purchased off of Etsy, It looks so good and matches the  bedding really well.  

The doll house bookcase that will sit next to the glider in the room. It just needs some paint, and the backing.  Matt did such a good job!

The bibs I made...mostly just for fun!

The nursery paint....we copied a room from pottery barn kids. The artwork will go in the stripe on the wall

It turned out really well!!
