We made it...37 weeks FULL TERM!

I am still in awe over making it so far through this pregnancy. We cannot wait to welcome our little girl into our little family. And I cannot wait to have her outside my body! She moves ALOT and enjoys streching out her little legs and making me have to pee very frequently.
Today's Dr. visit I have gained a total of 21.8 lbs over 37 weeks. BP is perfect. Everything looks great and little girl's heartbeat is going strong. Nothing much to do but wait.
Monday 02/28 will be my final day of work. I can't wait. I am so ready for a break and to be able to get the house ready and maybe take a few naps before she comes.
Baby's room is pretty much complete, even though it doesn't matter..she won't be in there for weeks. There isn't much left to do, and not much to say. I am tired, I have heartburn, I'm hungry but so in love with having this little girl.

Ohhh but this weekend Sat night our Mardi Gras ball. I hope to be up to dancing and eating and enjoying all of our friends and the fun to be had.

And for your viewing pleasure...37 weeks belly.

Today is week 36!

Can you believe we made it this far? One more week and this little one will be full term! I cannot believe it! Nor can I wait much longer for her to be here with us! And I think she can't wait either...not much room left in here..



Well I put in my notice at work, for those of you who don't know. My last day is the end of this month. I am sad to leave but happy I can be home with Emery and watch her as she grows! I have so much I want to teach her and show her!
I am off to the Dr today for our 36 week check up. Probally not a good idea to have had that glass of coke this morning! LOL! Somedays I just can't help it. Now I am downing the water to try and make it appear that I am healthier than I ate and drank this morning!

This week we have had Daddy Boot Camp, Baby Care...we learned to diaper, bathe, swaddle and burp the baby. I sure hope we are ready for this. We also have breastfeeding class and Car Seat Saftey class coming up along with Infant CPR! I think we should be pretty good parents after all the classes and books and advise we have gone over in the last 9 months!

So here it is about 26 days left to go!

35th week update

This is the week of the The-Riot Girls reunion! I nearly had all of my Mom's family come in for a visit! Again this little baby girl is spoiled! I can't imagine any family loving a baby more than mine! They flew in from all over the country just to be a part of this weekend! We shopped, and ate, and cooked, and partied and loved all weekend long. Sometimes it was a bit crazy, but hey its family and that's what happens. Everyone can't wait to see Emery and be a part of her life and I can't wait for that either.
By the time I dropped the last one off at the airport I was dog tired and ready for some sleep, when I think nesting set in. I ended up at Walmart buying orginization containers and items and redoing all the cabinets and closet. Now I can't stop myself and need to do this in the baby's room. Which would be this weekend while I am working on all the other things we have to do. I really need a weekend off where we have nothing planned!
I don't have a pic of 35th week yet. I am sure one of the ladies of the weekend will send one soon.
Ohhh and I also was given a shower at my office too. Emery has everything a baby could possible need and more right now. I think she needs a second bedroom for all of her stuff!

34 weeks update

I know I haven't updated in a while, things are CRAZY right now.
But here it goes.
At 34 weeks not only was it my birthday, Superbowl weekend but also the weekend before superbowl was our Big D baby shower. We are so blessed to have truly amazing friends who love us like family. I cannot thank our friends for throwing such an amazing Mardi Gras baby shower for us. We were showered with things for Emery and she is going to be one spoiled little angel!
Also this week we had snow and ice storms, so I had lots of time off of work, but I was busy getting the house organized and cleaned since we were having a Superbowl party at our house. My Dad got to fly in for a short visit and it was great having him with us. Dad is such a super awesome guy, he totally hangs and is one of the most important people in my life. I am so happy for the realationship we have and know that he is going to be an amazing Grandfather!
And here it is a pic of us at 34 weeks...


As for the snow and ice...I've had enough. Give me the sun and heat! Yes even being pregnant I love the heat!
