One week to go!

I can't believe we have one week to go!!! There were a couple of nights when we thought it was going to be the night we would get to meet her, but the contractions came and went. Cory's guess is she will be here this Thursday (June 4th) and my guess is she will be here late (June 15th - 5 days late). I am hoping his guess is right! The pictures are before and now pictures of her room (it will be finished when my mom and sister get here as I always imagined they would help me get the baby's room ready). The picture of me is at 38 weeks.

So today I went to the doctor and she said everything is looking good (besides my poor swollen feet!). She thinks maybe I shouldn't work anymore but I have to try and make it to at least June 2nd so I can get my time off paid when I am on maternity leave. Today I was 3 cm and 50% effaced and she said I could go any time now ("tomorrow and 1-2 weeks, one never knows" she said)!!! I have my next appointment next Friday and will keep everyone updated!

3 weeks and Counting!!

So I am almost there!!!! 37 weeks with 3 weeks (or less, hopefully not more) to go!! I am feeling pretty good, not sleeping as well, but everyone keeps saying my body is getting ready for the baby to come and for getting up every 2-3 hours. Today Cory and his great friend Rodney are getting the baby's room complete with a chair rail. Thanks to Design Solutions Painting for painting the baby's room, it looks perfect! As soon as everything is in I will post pictures.

I want to thank my wonderful friends here in AZ for a beautiful baby shower on May 3rd. I could not have asked for anything more, it was perfect and so me! The pictures above are from that shower. Thank you to Emily, Tracy, Amy and Nicole and to EVERYONE who came.

Want to wish my wonderful husband a HaPpY 29th bIrThDaY today!!!

34 Weeks!

Wow 34 weeks!! I was in New Mexico this past weekend for a baby shower given to me by my mom, Aunt Delilah and Aunt Elva and it was AMAZING!!! There were so many people there to "shower" me and this little girl will not go a day for a long time without something cute to wear! It was a very short trip but it was so great to see my mom and family/friends.

8 weeks and counting!

So I am officially 32 weeks (as of yesterday) and feeling pretty good. I am getting nervous we only have 8 weeks to go and we haven't decided on a name and her room isn't ready, people keep telling me it will all fall into place and I sure hope that is true. I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend. Here I am at 32 weeks!

10 Weeks to go!!!

So today I am 30 weeks and have 10 weeks +/- to go. I am feeling good for the most part, I have some back pain here and there and if I am up too long on my feet my legs will start hurting. I have been having what I assume are Braxton-Hicks contractions, which makes this even more real than I already know it is! One of the best things about all of this is when Cory asks me how "his baby is doing?" or "what is she doing now? He is getting so excited and seeing it in his eyes and hearing it in his voice is wonderful.

He is already a proud daddy!

Congrats to my brother Kevin and sister-in-law April on their new arrival (Aiden) on

Thursday March 26th. Also want to wish Kevin and my nephew Austin a Happy Birthday tomorrow! Love you all!

12 weeks and counting!

So today I am 28 weeks, which means I have 12 weeks give or take. According to the bump.com she is the size of an eggplant (about 13.6-14.8 inches in length and 1.5 to 2.2 pounds). I am still in awe when she moves - it is such an amazing feeling and sight! Cory and I are just so excited to meet her. We went last week to tour the maternity floor at Banner Gateway and it was a beautiful place. They said every time a baby is born they play Brahms Lullaby throughout the hospital! I can't wait to hear that while I am there, it will not only be motivation while I am in labor but something I will never forget as part of the whole experience. So for those of you who want belly pics here is another - I have the same shirt on so you can see the difference from the last time.
