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.

27 Weeks

Exciting news... We made it to our third trimester! Some say it's 27 weeks, some say 28 weeks, but either way tomorrow I will be 28 weeks so in my mind we are there:) Things are moving right along. Our girl's room is finished, now we just need the furniture, which should be in within the next 1-3 weeks! We are super excited to get it all set up and I think I will feel more ready for her to arrive when that is finished. Earlier this week baby girl started getting the hiccups! At first I thought it was weird she was kicking so lightly and so regularly (like every 1-2 seconds), but then I realized she must be getting the hiccups. I looked some things up online and that's what it seems to be and that is supposed to be happening right about now also. She is kicking more and you can see her movements on my belly all of the time now. There's definitely not as much room to move around in there! My next Dr. appointment is in 2 weeks, then they start every other week. That's about all that's going on for now!

26 Weeks

We had our 6 month Dr. appointment on Thursday and things are coming along right on track. My belly is measuring right at 26 weeks and her heart rate is still sounding strong. I had my glucose tolerance test where I have to drink this glucose drink and then they draw my blood an hour later to test for gestational diabetes. I haven't heard anything, so I'm assuming all is well. My dr. said no news from them is good news:)

Daniel is now in the process of painting the baby's room. We went with a green color for the walls and plan to have pink and brown accents. That will match the bedding we picked out. We have furniture ordered now as well, which should be in within 3-5 weeks!! We got a crib and a combo dresser with a mirror. The color of the furniture is brushed white. I can't wait to get it all put together! Here are some pics of the room and my awesome painter:) We will post more when we get the furniture put together in the room. Things seem to be coming along nicely. 3 months left and her room is getting closer every week to being ready for our little miracle to show up!!

25 Weeks

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! Things have been going well. We have enjoyed the holiday and are now getting busy getting the nursery ready for baby to arrive. We have ordered furniture and Daniel has started painting. We are painting the nursery a light green color. We will post some pictures when we have everything finished and set up.

As for our girl, she has been kicking more and more, although she does have her sleepy days where she is not very active. Daniel finally got to feel her kick this past weekend!!

Our next dr. appointment is this Thursday. I have to have my glucose tolerance test done, which I'm not really looking forward to. I hear the drink is awful and I who enjoys getting their blood drawn?? Hopefully everything will be fine. As for now, we only have 9 more appointments left before her arrival. We are just waiting and continuing to get things ready for our baby girls arrival!
