32 Weeks!

Wow, I know I keep saying this, but I really can't believe how fast this pregnancy is flying by! We're at 32 weeks today - only 8 more weeks until my due date, and who knows if we'll even make it that far?! Here's my 32 week picture - oops, I'm wearing the same shirt I wore to my shower. I guess that happens sometimes when you only have about 3 shirts that fit! (PS, ignore the sneakers please...my feet are pretty fat right now, and not much else fits!) =)Last Saturday, Jessica and I went to Round Rock to shop for baby stuff. We had a great time, and of course spent WAY too much money! I took pictures of my favorite outfits for you to see!
We've moved to weekly appointments already - we are going in once a week for a "non-stress test" to measure the baby's movement and heartrate. Last week, we didn't get to meet with the doctor, but hopefully we will this week. I think she'll schedule us for another ultrasound to keep an eye on the amniotic fluid and the baby's growth, and hopefully we'll be able to make a tentative decision about delivery soon. Either way, C-section or natural delivery, I need to start preparing myself mentally! As soon as we have more info, I'll post and let you know!

Baby Shower

On Sunday, February 8th, two of my sweet friends, Mistie and Beth, held a baby shower for us. We had such a great time, and it was so nice to see everyone and have time to catch up. We got lots of the things we needed for baby, played baby Bingo, and had yummy snacks and cake. We even had a chocolate fountain! =) I wanted to post pictures of all the cute things that we got, but it would just take up too much room! Thank you all again for helping to make this time so special!

Here I am in all my pregnant glory with Mistie and Beth. =)
The cake was SO good!

3D Pics!

On Monday, Feb. 2nd, we had yet another ultrasound to check the progress of the baby's measurements and the levels of amniotic fluid. We had an awesome ultrasound tech (Kathi), who happens to be learning how to do 3D ultrasounds. She said she's going to a training soon to learn how to do all kinds of neat things with 3D, and she wanted to practice so she would know what kinds of questions to ask, etc. SO, we got 3D ultrasound pics, for FREE!! We were so excited - seeing our baby this way is SO amazing! It's almost like seeing him in person. I know I say this every time, but I'm just amazed at how beautiful he is! My mom and I can already tell that he looks like his Daddy, so of course he's going to be adorable! He's still measuring big - almost 4 pounds. I'm sure we'll discuss delivery options at our appointment next week.

Here he is; feel free to post comments telling me how beautiful he is. =)
In other news, we finally closed on our house yesterday! It's so exciting to finally have a place of our own, and a place to put baby stuff! Our first act as homeowners will be to replace the sheetrock in the nursery this weekend. Actually, Terry and my dad will be replacing sheetrock...maybe I'll unpack a box or two! ;)

We'll keep you posted on the progress of the baby and the house!
