Baby Shower

Had my baby shower today. It turned out to be really nice! Great turnout...about 20or so people. Great food, lots of laughs, so much fun. Here are a few pics to mark the occasion.

35/35!!

35 Weeks pregnant with 35 days to go! I never thought I would ever see this milestone. PRAISE GOD!! I can't believe I am nearing the end. I still feel like I have so much to get done before her arrival. I actually had a dream last night that she was a he. Freaked me out just a little bit.

Birthing Classes

Had my birthing classes this past weekend. Despite having to be up so early for all day classes, they were quite informative and interesting. I learned a lot about the female body during labor, so much so that I want to try a med-free birth. We'll see how far I can make it. The classes also made me a little nervous because now I realize how soon I will be delivering my baby girl. I have about 5 weeks to go(or less). That is really scary!! Am I ready? Can I do this? What type of mom will I be? I am starting to freak out just thinking about it. I mean I know she had to come out sooner or later, but the thought of it kind of scares me. Well, women with all pain thresholds having been doing this for millions of years. I guess I can do it too.

34 Weeks

Total weight gain: Since my last appointment a week ago I am up a total of 20lbs.

Maternity clothes: Yes, everyday now.

Sleep: Propped up by six pillows.

Best Moment this week: Every time I feel my little girl is a great moment to me.

Movement: All the time. I love watching my belly jump all over the place.

Gender: It's a girl!!

Labor signs: Just Braxton Hicks

Belly button: It is flat.

Cravings: Not many.

What I miss: Sleeping through the night without having to pee all the time.

Stretch Marks: Sigh...unfortunately, yes.

What I am looking forward to this week: Just having my baby girl continue to grow strong and stay healthy.

33 Weeks

32 Weeks

Not much is new. I have now gained a total of 20 pounds. I was doing so well in the beginning. I thought my weight gain would continue to be more gradual, not 5 pounds in two weeks!! I guess the holiday weekend didn't help too much with that.

Weeks 30 and 31

I am such a slacker! It is so hard to motivate yourself when you are exhausted ALL. THE. TIME. Well here are the pictures.
