Baby's Room

The room still needs a couple of small touches here and there but overall it is put together. All of his clothes are washed and baskets are organized.

Take a good look at that organized closet because it might not be that way the next time you see it:)

Changing table ready to go!

His crib with almost all of the bedding.

that Daddy bought him to hang in his room.

A place to hang his hats!

His little bookshelf with bins for toys!

We received a BOB stroller from Aaron's office. Sarah LOVES it and hopefully her little brother will too.

Baby Shower

Here are a few pics from the baby shower. We feel so blessed to have so many friends and family that showered our baby with love.

Sarah enjoying some cake!

34 weeks

I went for my check-up today. The baby's heart sounded great and the doctor was pleased with everything. I did gain seven pounds but he didn't say a word about it. I don't know if it was because it wasn't that big of a deal to him or if he was just trying to be nice.
I am starting to swell in my feet and legs but thankfully it's not too bad. He said not to worry and put my feet up more. I can handle that!!
There have been no significant bouts of contractions lately. I am hoping to make it to his due date which about six more weeks away. Let's see if he will cooperate.

33 weeks

This week has been a re-introduction into the rough parts of the third trimester. I'm carrying the baby all in the front so it's a bit rough on the lower back. When I walk, I do so slowly and with a waddle.

On the bright side there haven't been any consistent contractions. I also haven't had any swelling. I go back to the doctor this next week so I hope that everything is still looking good.

32 Weeks

I went to my 32 week appointment today and the doctor released me from bed rest. I get to go back to work and most of my everyday activities. I still have to take it easy but I don't have to lay around all day!
The baby's heart sounded great and the doctor said everything else looked good. I have never been so excited to go back to work. Partially because I won't have to use any more of my sick leave but mostly because it means that I can make preparations for my maternity leave.
I plan to do a little better at being prepared now that we've had this little scare. This means finishing the baby's room, packing my bag for the hospital, and getting Sarah's things ready too. Hopefully things will be uneventful until the end of March when he is due.
