Time is flying by!

Well, we are in the home stretch now it seems...less than 2 months! Yikes! I'm definatley feeling more pregnant lately. Which is what I was waiting for! Baby is moving around like crazy so there is no doubt about it anymore! I'm feeling more excited too, which is good! It took me a while. While I do still feel a little overwhelemed and weird, it's going away..slowly.

This weekend we finally got the room painted but it's not quite done yet. It's a very pretty purpley pink color. It looks great! And we had some really sweet friends come and help us paint, which made it go by so much faster! I think we got 2 coats done in less than 4 hrs. Pretty amazing. My next task is to do some stamping but I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it yet. My friend Jaime is going to come over and help me on Friday so hopefully I'll have that figured out by then! We've yet to put the bed together but that is probably a good thing since we're not completely done with the painting! I'm sure I'll have it all done by the time June rolls around. At least that is my goal! I'm on the lookout for a dresser too so I can get all those clothes organized! Whew! Alot to do!

Everything at the doctor is good. We got to meet Dr Woolridge for a whole 10 minutes (maybe) in case my doctor is not available when Cate decides to make her arrival. Next time, we'll see my regular doctor and I'm hoping she'll do a sonogram again! She said she'd do one around 35 weeks to see what position the baby is in. I hope she does! If not I'll probably have to wait another month. Boo! Hopefully that won't be the case.

This weekend we're going to Midland for one of my showers. My best friend Amy is throwing one for me! I'm super excited, I'm sure it'll be awesome! I'll post pics later! The next one will be May 17th at my friend Brittney's house in McKinney. I'm hoping for a good turnout on that one too, since most of my relatives live closer to here than Midland.

Talk to you guys later!

30 weeks!

So here we are at 30 weeks! I can't believe time is flying by like this. Pretty soon we'll have a baby and no sleep!! But it'll be worth it.

I'm happy to report that my 3 hour gestational diabetes test was normal! We were so happy! My doctor said that I had barely failed the 1 hour, she just wanted to make sure that everything was OK. She is so awesome. We had our routine appointment yesterday and everything is good. I love hearing that heartbeat. I have to fight back tears every time I hear it! I asked about another sonogram and she said they usually only do 2 but probably around 35 weeks they will do another one just to make sure baby is where she's supposed to be. I hope so! I want to see what she looks like now. Someone at J's work told him about a school that will do the 3D ultrasounds for cheap so I keep trying to find out where it is. I'll keep you posted.

Our next appointment will be with one of the other doctors in the practice so we can meet them and get to know them "in case" my doctor is not able to deliver our baby. There are 2 other doctors, both women. I've never met them so it'll be a good opportunity. Better than having a surprise if my doc isn't available!

I've been cleaning like crazy and on the 26th we are going to paint the baby's room! I can't wait. We decided to go with a lilac color and do a white stripe around the room. It'll be really sweet when it's done! We got a new bed for our room so our old bed is now in that room for those nights when we have a fussy baby and one of us needs sleep! It's getting exciting now! I'll post pictures once we get it all done.

Love to you all!

3 months to go

Well I've had a whirlwind of a week! Baby is good and I am good, well except that I will have to go take the 3 hr glucose test on Thursday. I'm not happy about that but I will take things as they come. I don't really have a choice, do I? I'm starting to go to the doctor every 2 weeks starting on the 13. I will get a chance to meet the other doctors in the practice in case my doctor isn't available when I have the baby. Yikes! Well at least I get to do that so it won't be a total surprise if that happens.

My wonderful friend Jenny has helped me come up with some ideas for the baby's room. We have a crib that has yet to be put together but at least I have an idea on what is going to go where in the room. Its amazing how much smaller a room becomes when you start adding furniture! Hopefully we will have it all ready for her when she arrives! Not like she's going to use it for a while, but still. I think all this thinking has kicked in my nesting phase. I've been more motivated to clean things and organize them, such as my closet and I actually hung things on the wall in our family room this morning! So hopefully this will help me get things in the house organized! We'll see!

Well, I hope all of you are doing well!

Love,
