One More Month to Due Date!

July 18, 2012 - Today is one month before our due date. I know I say this every time, but I just cannot believe how fast this time has gone.

Since our last post we have been pretty busy. We had another baby shower and again received some amazing gifts. We are so thankful to all of our family and friends for all the amazing gifts we received from both baby showers. Thank you all so much. Now all I need to do is write out the thank you cards from both showers yet. Sorry everyone that they are not done yet. I cannot believe how much of a procrastinator I have become these past few weeks.

We also had a friend of mine take some maternity photos for us. She did an amazing job. I just wanted some basic photos nothing over the top. I am just glad we were able to capture some shots of this special time in our lives.

 

I love this picture so much.

We have everything pretty much set in place for the arrival of our little girl. The room is pretty much done and if we are missing something, we will figure it out soon enough I imagine! There are a few things left that we need to order like a second car seat base and an infant carrier and a swing, but other than that I feel pretty confident that we are ready. We still need to pack a bag for Justin and I for the hospital. 

I purposely did not plan a lot for our last month because I knew there would be things that I would want to catch up on like thank you cards and hospital bag and stuff like that. So I will be busy doing all that stuff over this next week. 

We cannot wait to meet our little girl. We are so excited!

34 Weeks

July 5, 2012 - The other day I was on this website and it told me that there were 46 more days until the baby is due...so now we are closer to 40 days. I cannot believe it is only about one month until we will have a little baby girl in our family.

Things have been going well. We had a doctor's appointment last week along with our 5th ultrasound. The doctor said everything is looking great. My placenta has moved and is more than 2 cm away from the cervix which means that we should be in the clear now. So that means I will most likely not have to have a c-section!

The baby is still sitting on my right side as usual. She was head down when we did the ultrasound. She is moving around a lot and I just started to notice her getting the hiccups.

These past two weeks I have started to feel more uncomfortable, especially with this heat. I still feel pretty good overall, but feel pretty achy in the morning and feel some weird pains once in a while.

We have a baby shower this weekend and then it will be time for me to get everything in the room all put together! Now comes the time that we need to start preparing for our big day. Pack the bag for the hospital, wash all the clothes and sheets and blankets. We are going to learn so much through this entire process. I am sure we will never be completely prepared, but I am going to try my hardest to get us as close as possible!

Hope everyone had a lovely Fourth of July!
