Awaiting Our Little Girl's Arrival......

Anxiously awaiting for our little one

Baby News- Playing catch up (33-38 weeks)

So I was in the groove of updating and then I lost the groove....  I just realized I haven't posted baby update since 32 weeks so here are some updates.

Belly continues to grow.....

36 weeks

37 weeks

38 weeks

We got to take one more look at our little lady during my 36week ultrasound.  And I totally asked to make sure that it was indeed still a girl...it is :)

We can't wait to meet her!!

I have been in full nesting mode getting ready for her arrival.  Her corner in our room is ready to go

The car seat is in the car, and after today my bag will be packed.  I have a dr's appt tomorrow. Hoping for some progress.  I am feeling okay.  It's getting tougher to move around and I am done and would like my body back. I enjoy the baby movement, but it is very limited these days since she is just about out of room.  Can't wait to snuggle her on the outside...and to decide on a name... we still haven't decided!!

28 Weeks

 Officially entered my 3rd trimester. 

Baby girl is very active, and growing very well.  We had our monthly ultra sound on Monday and she looks to be measuring about 3lbs 7oz (78% tile).  I can't believe I have 2.5 months to go and she is already that big.  She was hiding behind the placenta again, but she peeked out for a quick picture. It's amazing how much you can see with the ultrasound these days.  I had the tech check again, and she is still a she :)

Pretty precious if I do say so myself. 

27 Weeks

Here we are at 27 weeks.  Last week in my second trimester.  

It will be interesting to see how much bigger I get!!  13 weeks to go!

26 Weeks

Heartburn has set in, feet are at an all time HUGE, Baby girl is a kicking and a dancing and I am loving feeling her!  Laying in bed at the end of the day is heaven though!

24 weeks

Only 16 weeks to go.  Time, please slow down.  

I had my monthly ultrasound this morning and got to get a good peek at our little girl.  She looked great.  It was confirmed again, that it's a girl. Her weight is currently estimated at 1lb 13oz..yikes!  She played a little peek-a-boo with us, as she was hiding behind the placenta.  A little peek was all this Mama needed :)

  

And my 24 week belly shot

23 weeks

Chugging right along- 23 weeks and counting....  GOING WAY TO FAST!!

and the last group for comparison....

20 Weeks ..... AKA "Half Way"

Today marks the half way point in my pregnancy. It's amazing how fast it's going. Time could slow down a little bit! Feeling good, besides the swollen feet/ankles, I don't have any complaints. The boys felt the kicks for the first time last night. I wish I could of captured a picture of Shane's expression. It melted my heart seeing his eyes get so wide with delight. Just saying over and over " Momma I felt a kick, I felt her kick". It was truly a magical moment. John got to feel it as well. And although he was excited, he didn't "show" it.

A little snap shot of our week: enjoying park days as the weather is finally starting to warm up, some skate park fun, relaxing, learning new techniques in Hapkido (both boys earned their second stripe this week), 20w shot, baseball practice.

Looking forward to the week ahead: anatomy ultra sound on Monday and a few baseball and soccer games!!

19 weeks

Here we are at 19 weeks. Felt baby's first kicks this week. It is the greatest feeling and I stop everything I'm doing to enjoy every second of it. Baby is growing bigger and stronger. A little over a week to go before my 20w Anatomy ultrasound.

18 weeks

Growing, growing, growing. I guess it's side sleeping time as laying on my back causes me to have an accelerated heart beat and feels like I can't breathe. OB appointment later today.

17 weeks

A week late but I want to capture every aspect of this blessing!
