The Belly

Somewhere between here...

And here...which was only 1 week, the belly POPPED!

I definitely am feeling a bit large-and-in-charge. I am definitely not what I would call "agile". But I wake up each day more excited than the day before to meet this girl of ours.

36 Weeks

36 Weeks

Baby is weighing approx 6.5 lbs

Baby has wild and crazy hair that we can see!

Baby's wild hair slightly terrifies Mommy..unless it's red, of course!

Baby is making big alien movements and I swear a foot is piercing my heart.

Baby is on my thoughts ever single second of the day.

My last day of work is Friday, October 21st. (That's 16 business days, incase you are counting)

Bring it, Baby Girl!

Extreme House Makeover

Ok, so maybe it wasn't extreme, but it sure seemed extreme to our pocket books!

For the last 6 months, we've been doing all the things to the house that have been on our list! New hardwoods, new deck, new Washer/Dryer, new carpet in our room, new bedroom furniture and most importantly, we had the house painted!

I am so flipping excited about the newly painted house. Everyone in the neighborhood has been stopping by to tell us how much they like it!

Now, it is ready to baby and hopefully to become a rental next summer when we grow into a bigger house! Here's to crossed fingers!

BEFORE:

AFTER:

35 Weeks

35 Weeks of worry, joy, anxiety, anticipation, shopping, crying, laughing, heartburn, burping, day dreaming, carpel tunnel attacks, baby showers, stretch marks, swollen ankles, a new shoe size of 11, doctor appointments, ultrasounds, and frequent blood pres sue checks.

I want to clarify I am not complaining- I swore I would try so hard not to complain, after all that we went through to get her. So this is just more of a list of how life has changed.

It is amazing how much time one can spend planning and talking babies. It is a amazing how much time I've spent with my friend Lisa (also pg) discussing every possible in and out of labor & parenting...talking like we are experts...while I am sure we are both going to be rocked to our core when it happens.

Overall, I feel great. Overall, this pregnancy has been easy. I know I am lucky. I don't dislike being pregnant, it's just that I am so damn anxious to meet her I can hardly stand it.

Today I had my 35 week appt..which means I have 34 days left until my due date. Baby got a A+ at this appointment, I got an A+ and we were sent on our merry way. I go to each appt hoping that there is going to be some significant change and hint of impending labor, but I leave each time just as I entered.

So we will wait...another 34 days at a maximum. The doc has at least told us that much!

Fall Blog

Fall has come to the BDew blog...I decided it's ok because football is back, I had to break out my favorite Ugg slippers, most mornings I need to throw on a sweatshirt, and the grocery stores are selling my favorite fall mums.

Fall almost means Baby Girl is almost here- in no more than 40 days, for those who may be counting.

Welcome Fall, I've been waiting for you!

Hope the baby comes with instructions!

8 Month Stats

Baby girl is weighing in at 4lbs, 2oz. The doc and tech both remarked about the hair they could see. Her head is down...which explains the weird "pressure" I am feeling.

The infant carrier arrived this week....further proof that I am indeed pregnant! We cannot get over how big everything is for these tiny babies! We are running out of room and I still have one shower left...not that I am complaining!

We have about 7.5 weeks left til our due date! Bring it!
