Parties & Presents!

It's been awhile since my last post, apologies! I'm 33 weeks now and baby girl is doing very well. She is getting bigger by the day now and her thumps and kicks are stronger every day too. I have to say, I'm sort of at the point where I'm pretty much over being pregnant and just ready to meet her! I know the next several weeks will fly by though.

Well, the house search has ended, thank goodness! That was almost a little too close for comfort! It's a cute little 3 bedroom in a quiet neighborhood. Soooo, there's room for visitors, consider this your official invite!

I'm off to Dallas this weekend for my first baby shower. I'm so excited to see everyone. Round 2 of baby showers is next weekend here in Abilene, so it's a busy couple of weeks. As much as I've procrastinated on picture taking, I think it's unavoidable now, so I'm sure I'll have some new ones to post!

We're getting down to the wire here, so I'll try to be more adament about my updates :)

Pitter Patter

According to the doctor, baby girl is weighing in at 2 pounds 8 ounces, right on track to a healthy baby. Not gonna lie...she feels bigger than that these days! I can only imagine what the next few months has in store for me! We did get sonogram pictures at our appointment last week, but they really didn't turn out very well, bummer. However, we did get a good look at her on the monitor; I still think she has her daddy's nose! And while the doctor was 98-99% sure it was a girl upon our gender sonogram back in November, we got a 100% sure at this last visit...so we shouldn't have any surprises in store come April! She is getting more active by the week. I love the feeling of her little pitter patter in my tummy, but her little feet kicking my ribs I could do without! I'll continue updates as we get further along. Next on the agenda: baby showers! I mentioned I bought her bedding in our past post, so I'm sharing a picture of it. Her room won't look exactly like this; I think we're doing dark furniture, but you get the gist :)

Week 26!

Here we are week 26, belly is getting bigger, kicks are getting stronger, back pains are in full swing, and our anxiousness to meet her is growing by the day! By the looks of our last sonogram pictures, I think she might look more like her daddy! Yes, hard to tell...but I swear, I think she has his nose! We go back to the doctor on the 11th for another sonogram and we're always so excited to see her and hear her little heart beat.

Christmas was a sweet one, lots of much needed maternity clothes and, of course my mom and sister couldn't help themselves, some adorable little girl outfits! I rang in the new year at home in Dallas by dragging my mom and sister to help me register. Starving, exhausted, overwhelmed, and 3 1/2 hours later we walked out of Babies 'R' Us! You know I couldn't leave that place empty handed, so I actually ended up buying her bedding that day too! Now I'm in major nesting mode, on the search for a bigger house, and on a mission to get the nursery all set up so I can admire it while we wait for her arrival!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year's. Check back for more updated sonogram pictures. XOXOXO
