Week 30

Wow...Week 30...that is just kind of crazy and scary all at the same time. When i think of any pregnant girl in their 30 weeks i think 'oh they're near the end'. Just insane. only about 10 weeks or so left give or take here or there. Very exciting! So much going on...almost too much at times. Work has been more hectic than usual trying to train this new girl who's going to do my stuff while i'm gone. Its just been tiring and exhausting and draining. This weekend i have pretty much just laid around all weekend since Todd was off visiting Troy. It was a good time to just relax and not do anything so thats exactly what i did :D

Shirt look familiar to anyone :D

Week 29

Week 29 brought a visit from Dad and Uncle Kevin. Great time...always nice to see them, especially when i'm a horrible host and they end up doing all the cooking. yeah Todd yelled at me for that one later...i suck what can i say. All is well though...had our weekly check up appt this week...measuring one inch more than whats normal across my belly, but that pretty much goes in line with what EVERY person that comes across me says, that i just look bigger than 'normal' - whatever that means. I find it entertaining none the less...but regardless...all is well...gained 2 lbs since the last week so thats on target...trying to keep it to the one lb a week thats recommended, but its pretty hard. Baby is doing great and super active...kicks a lot during doctor visits, doesnt like being poked and messed with...as Todd tells me on a nightly basis when I'm 'playing' with the baby :D

Week 28

Week 28 brings MONTH 7!! Wow. As many MANY have said to me, because apparantly they think its funny, 'i cant believe there's still two months left'. Both my mother and aunt warned me that the women in this family tend to get large during pregnancy, and i guess they werent lying :D I honestly feel fine, the normal discomforts that come along with the whole process, but all is well...but it just makes me laugh the comments that people make to you, total strangers, friends, coworkers...cracks me up.

We had our check up this past Tuesday, our first two week check up, and all is well...still growing fine and lovely...belly measured a little big, but only by about an inch so nothing huge or to be concerned about. Glucose test came back good, so thats a relief. The stuff actually wasnt that bad to drink, but once it started to settle i started to get a little queasy.

We picked up the smaller dresser this week too but cant figure out how to set up the room. The tall dresser wont come for another month or so...so we're just hanging out with it til then...we'll do some shifting once we get all the pieces.

Last but not least...went to visit Court and Kel this weekend and see the little rascals. Todd and i watched Taylor on Friday night while Kel and Justin ran out to a surprise party, then Saturday morning Kel, Taylor and myself took a ride to visit Courtney and Alex for the day. Had a great time!

Here is week 28 pic along with some from the weekend...Week 29 will be posted this weekend after Dad leaves...(coming for a visit to see Tony and Todd...i'm just catering and hosting :D)

Week 27

My last week in month 6...hard to believe...the appts are down to 2 weeks apart, weight gain is apparantly ok for the doc, but for my own sake I'd like to slow down a little, baby is growing just perfectly and is active as can be, bh contractions still pretty frequent, have my glucose test this week so I may call ahead to the nurse to let her know the frequency just in case they want me to come in i can do both at once...that's about it...OH...and we built the crib :D

Lets just say i built the crib, Todd held it up and looked pretty because of course everything he tried to do was 'wrong' and i was just pretty sure i could do it better myself, so I did :D.

It looks awesome! So cute...and I cant wait to get the rest of it in !!!

Week 26

Week 26...big week...literally. Apparantly last weekend i must have done a little growing which i dont really notice too much but a stranger and a good handful of people at work were nice enough to point it out so i guess i have to take their word for it :D

Week 26 also brought a lot of stress...we decided to try and refinance our house in order to get some lower rates. In the process we had to get a new appraisal on our house. There were a few things i wanted done (painting of the nursery and SERIOUS organization of downstairs) before the appraiser came, so unfortunately that meant A LOT of work for Todd this past week. He was kind enough (after a few slight life threatening conversations) to forego the gym and make every night this past week a work week. The appraiser is coming tomorrow morning at 8:30 so we were a little limited on time with A LOT to do. We bought the paint and started organizing downstairs last week as early as possible but it just ended up being such a project. This week is going to feel like vacation without the nightly workouts!

I definitley did a lot more this week than i probably should have and baby was sure to let me know it, but i just felt bad with all Todd was doing because it was stuff I was totally capable of doing...until about 6 months ago. He's been great though and our house looks AMAZING right now!!!! The nursery is all painted and looks wonderful, so happy with the color we went with, Aqua Bay...matches the bedding real nice. Not sure i like the glider in there but we can figure that out later. Got the closet all put together, the downstairs is actually back to a little sitting/rec room, the laundry room is functional the garage is super organized. I feel so GREAT about it!

Here is week 26 along with some pictures of our projects...
