30 Weeks, 2 days and counting...
The most exciting part of this past week was that Andy was finally able to feel her kick! She was going crazy Saturday afternoon while we were lounging and when he put his hand on my stomach, she just kept on going! It was so amazing to see him take that in and experience what I've been experiencing for many weeks now. Today she actually kicked me hard enough that my work badge (which was nesting on my belly) actually jumped! Such a surreal but cool feeling!
My first shower is coming up on Sunday and I'm so excited to get together with my girls and talk all things baby! And can you believe we only have 9 and 1/2 weeks left??!! Time is flying by...
Here is my 30 week belly shot:
See you next week!

Start your sewing machines...
Even though I've never sewn more than a lone button on a sweater (and that's pushing it!) I've always loved Project Runway~ and it's finally back on TV!
I was a little worried since it's on a new network but never fear- Heidi and Tim are as 'Ferosh!' as ever! Let the dramazzzz unfold!
And maybe I'll learn more about sewing than how to prick myself in the thumb over and over...

29 Weeks, 2 days and counting...
I had my 29 week appointment yesterday and according to the Doc, 'I look great!' Too bad I don't feel great- but it was very kind of her to say so. I think she took one look at my cat eyes and thought- 'Hmmm...this girl needs some positive reinforcement to get through the next 11 weeks!'
Well it worked. I left her office feeling like, well, not as plump. Now if only I could get her on the phone every morning while I'm trying to get dressed for work, sweating like a tri-athlete just to work my way into a pair of maternity pants...
So my goals for this week are to increase my prenatal vitamin to hopefully get some relief from these nasty leg cramps, talk Andy into foot massages every night and keep on truckin! If you've made it this far, sorry for the rant. I really do feel blessed every day that things are going as they should.
Here's my 29 week bump:
See you next week!

Think pink!
Okay, who are we kidding- I can't hang anything to save my life but I did talk Andy into breaking out the power drill so we (and by 'we' I mean 'he') could hang up the hook I got for Lil P's room.
I got the chocolate brown 'R' online at Restoration Hardware Baby, the pink hanger from Target (love those dollar bins!) and the tutu on sale at Claire's. I really like how it turned out! Next week we get the carpets cleaned and then I think we'll be all set!

28 Weeks, 2 days and counting...
This is the week I have felt that I need to have my 'game-face' on... according to the baby books, kicks should be monitored after every meal and at night. Which is a great idea in theory, but for a girl who already worries about everything, it's hard to do and not freak out the second I don't feel a kick (like a pregnant woman has room for one more worry). But I know to relax, have faith- I've gotten this far and as long as I'm feeling her move throughout the day, I'll be okay.
My next Dr. appt. is Monday and I'm sure I'll be going every 2 weeks after that. I've completely given up on sleeping through the night, or even being somewhat comfortable lying down. Still trying to get in my daily walks and haven't really had much for cravings except all things SWEET. Go figure.
Here is my 28 week belly shot:
Until next week!

Nursery: sneak peek
Thanks to Scotty who once again showed off his excellent talents and put up the shelves and curtain rod while Andy was busy putting the crib together. I'm so happy with the results of the painting too!
Giggles and squeals and laughs...oh my!
Enjoy the pics~

My buddy, Tyler-Byler:
My co-chef's in the kitchen- we made a delicious monkey bread!
I'm so glad we've made it an annual tradition for the kiddies to come visit before school starts- never a dull moment when they're around! :)

This is a pic from the crazy storm that rolled in Sunday night... at least we didn't suffer any power outages or storm damage.
Hope everyone had a good weekend!

27 Weeks, 2 days and counting...
I go in Friday for my 3 hour glucose test and hope I can pass with flying colors! My cousin sent me Reagan's first 'baby doll'- it's adorable! Thanks Alicia!
The painting is progressing in the nursery and should be done by Friday. One more thing to check off our list!

You're only as old as you feel...
Our good buddy Mark was celebrating his birthday and it was the perfect night for sitting out on the patio and drinking... (water, of course!). We had some great laughs, good fun and most of all, we got to help Craw celebrate his big day.
Happy birthday buddy!
