33 Weeks

Here is a quick update on my growing baby bump:) She sure is growing a lot lately!! I even have people telling me now I look like I'm about to pop, but I still have 7 weeks to go! Where is she gonna go? It feels like there's no more room!

Baby Showers!!!!!

Baby Myers has now had 2 baby showers thrown for her. We have gotten lots of awesome things for her including all of her bedding, baby clothes, her little baby bathtub, a stroller, and her car seat. We are so thankful to everyone for all of the gifts. Our baby girl is going to be so blessed to have so many wonderful people in her life:) The first shower was thrown by my friends from work, they are so sweet and awesome and we had a great time. They made it a lunch shower at Zio's, an Italian restaurant in Independence. We had so much fun (I did at least :))!! Here are a couple of pictures from it...







The picture with the baby is with my friend's adorable little boy who thought it would be fun to spit up down the front of me:) Of course everyone thought this was quite funny:)

I completely forgot about taking pictures at our other baby shower. It was a really nice couples shower thrown by Daniel's parents friends down in Augusta. We definitely had a great time and are grateful for them doing that for us!!

As for now we are moving right along, Dr. says I am still measuring right on target. That means we are just about 7 weeks away now!! We can't wait!!

Some quick nursery pictures

All in all, it wasn't too hard to put together. A friend of ours, Louis, came over and helped me while Jamie watched :).

Off to Augusta...

Antsy

Antsy. That's what best decribes both of us. And we still have 8 weeks!! Man, I hope they fly by. Luckily we both stay fairly busy, otherwise we'd be going nuts. Our baby furniture is set to be delivered between noon-2:00 today, and as soon as I get it assembled we'll post some updated pictures. It's been 8+ weeks since we ordered it, so we are super excited to finally get it.

This weekend we are going back to Augusta for a baby shower on Saturday evening. A friend of my family is putting it together and it should be a good time. But first we are going down Friday to see George Strait in concert at the new arena in Wichita with my parents. We are super super super excited to see him. We've been to A LOT of shows since we've been together, but we've never seen him. And to be honest, I'm sort of looking forward to Reba as well. (Is that weird?) It will probably be the last concert we go to for a while...

That's all for now. Check back in for updated nursery pictures in the coming days...

Baby Foot

So this little girl's foot keeps poking me in my side continuously throughout the day now. At times I forget and it scares me when I feel something alive poking out of my belly! I think it is one of the most amazing and crazy things to experience to feel a little tiny foot poking out:) She's getting so cramped in there, poor baby! I just love this feeling more than anything when she's moving all around and I can see and feel her movements. This was funny to me all day as it kept happening so I thought I would share:) She must be getting antsy in there, I know I am!

Less Than 10 Weeks Now

I had a dr. appointment on Thursday. Just the normal monthly checkup. Everything went well. She listened to the heartbeat and measured my belly. She said I am measuring right on target for my due date. Now I start going to the dr. every 2 weeks so that means we are getting closer! Things are starting to come together. We now have curtains up that are absolutely adorable! My mom made them and did a wonderful job. She also gave us the rocking chair she's had since I was a baby, painted it, and made a nice big comfy cushion that goes on it. Our furniture should be in within the next week so once we get everything put together we will put up some pics of the baby room. I'm still feeling pretty good, though I can no longer sleep. I guess it's just preparing me for the arrival of our little one:) We can't wait!! (Belly pic is from last weekend so just over 29 weeks)

Almost 30 weeks...

We are only a short 10 weeks and 3 days away from the due date. Her room is coming along nicely. Everything is painted, curtains are up, and rocking chair is in place. The furniture should be arriving by February 12th, and the room will then be complete. The next few weeks are sure to drag by slowly, yet fly by at the same time...

Next Dr. appointment is this Thursday.
