Baby Shower #2

I had my baby shower this weekend and it went very well. So many people showed up and it was beautiful weather. I got so many nice things from people and it was just really nice to relax and visit with everyone. I was able to get my nursery set up this weekend as well. I don't have a picture of that yet, but will by tomorrow. I do have some pics of the baby shower...here they are!

I went for my doctor's appointment yesterday and it went very well. My weight has stayed the same and blood pressure is good. I measured right on target...32.5 cm. The baby's heart sounded great, but they didn't tell me what the beats per minute was. The doctor said that I am doing great and to just keep up the good work, whatever that means. We talked about some birth plan information and then I was free to go. Here is a picture from this yesterday.

31 weeks

Here is a picture from 31 weeks...I'll be starting my 8th month on Thursday!! We are so excited to meet our little girl!

July 7, 2009

I went to my doctor's appointment today. They measured my belly and it was at 29.5 cm and I should be around 30, so she was very pleased with that. We listened to the heartbeat and it was 140 beats a minute, which is right in the middle. My blood pressure is 118/78, so no problems in that area. I did gain 7 lbs., but the doctor was not concerned at all with it. She stated that I am right on target and just keep doing what I'm doing. She also felt that a lot of the weight gain is due to swelling and the swelling is probably due to the hot weather. I was very happy to hear the good news. I thought I'd share it with everyone. I'll get some more pictures up soon!!

July 4th - 30 weeks

Went to the lake this weekend and got a swimsuit photo! Everything is good here. My next appointment with the doctor is on Tuesday, so I'll update you then.

June 22nd, 2009

I went in for my 28 week doctor's appointment. The doctor said that I am measuring at 28 weeks, which was good. She also said that the baby's heartrate is 160 beats a minute, which is good. I also gained 3 lbs, so we didn't have to have a talk over my diet, which was AWSOME! I have been having some Braxton Hicks contractions, so the doctor said to take it a little easier. So, I may have to cut out mowing the lawn...darn (sarcastically said). I got my blood drawn to test for gestational diabetes, anemia, and antibodies. I did not get a call back saying anything was wrong, so I am assuming that I am healthy as can be. I have graduated to seeing the doctor every other week, so I go back in on July 7th for my next appointment. Keep us in your prayers over the next couple of months as we get closer to the due date.

3rd Trimester

I am finally in my 3rd trimester and still feeling pretty good. I just returned from Ohio visiting my family. I was thrown a baby shower, and it was awsome! I got some really cute things and was able to spend some quality time with the women of the family. I also got to spend time with the rest of my family at my cousin's graduation pool party. Here are some pics of the baby shower and my big ol' belly.
