33 Weeks

OK..OK...I haven't updated for a couple weeks...but I have excuses!!! :) Our computer is crazy. It just randomly shuts down whenever it wants to (we're taking it to Apple today after work to get fixed!) and our printer isn't hooked up so I can't scan Gavin's ultrasound picture...I've always thought pictures were more entertaining than my words...and lastly, I don't really know what to talk about. HAHAHA...I'm running out of cool things to say.

I'll start with the ultrasound appointment. We took my niece, Hannah, and she was so excited to see her new cousin. The tech printed her a pic of her own and she went home and hung it up on her wall by her bed :) She's sooooooooo cute...sooo sweet. Gavin's kidneys are a tiny bit larger than normal, but my doc assured us that it will not be a problem, it's just something they'll look at after he's born. My placenta is ALMOST 3 cm away from my cervix. It needs to be 3 cm by the end of the pregnancy. Again, my doctor is certain it will continue to move. So good news all around. HAHAA...she's a positive lady.

I've gained 22 pounds. HAHAHAHAHA..Yeah buddy. Still have 7 more weeks to go. They moved the scale thing on me...you know..the bottom one, where they're in 50 pound increments. Yeah...WOW. That was a bit depressing. But I have to think (maybe hope) that in 7 weeks...the number will start to go down.

This weekend is going to be a busy weekend...but I'm super stoked!!! Tomorrow my best friend Sue flies into town :) I'm supposed to get together with a couple of my girlfriends that I've known forever...around 13 years... We all have babies 9 months apart (mine's not ready to come out yet)...and the pattern is girl, boy, girl, boy (thanks Steph for pointing that out! Hahaha) It's going to be so much fun! It's been a really long time since we all have been able to hang out...well I guess we did last year..but still. Friday is Sue's birthday so we're going to hang out all day and just do..whatever! Saturday is my baby shower and I'm so excited to have my buds together. I've met a lot of great people the last couple years and I also get to hang with my oldies, but goodies too! I will post pictures...once I get my computer back. Hahaha...

Well I think that's it for now. My next appointment is in 3 weeks and she'll start checking me then to see if I'm dilated/effaced. That's so creepy, but this time was going to come right?! Time has really flown by and I'm very excited, but VERY scared at the same time!!!

30 weeks!

Hi Everyone!!!! 10 weeks left...fingers crossed! We're getting closer! Time has actually flown by even though I like to complain that it's taking forever to cook this little baby. ;)

We finished Gavin's closet on Sunday :) It's nice and organized. Who knows how long that will last...haha, but it feels good to have it done. My best friend Sue had a baby boy in April '08 so she was soooo sweet and gave my Colin's adorable clothes, car seat and stroller! That is DEFINITELY going to help out big time! We just ordered his crib today so things are definitely coming together!

I had my doctor appointment this morning and everything looks and sounds good. He's measuring right on track and she said his heartbeat sounds great! I love my doctor...she's hilarious. She knows I'm having a hard time gaining weight so when I asked if I'm going to double in size by the end, she just looked at me and smiled and said "you will be getting bigger..." HAHA. Thanks, that's very good news. When I laid down so we could listen to his heartbeat, she says "Oh, see, when you lay down it's just stomach muscles...you're fine." HAHAHAHA..Really?! Stomach muscles...uhmmm no. I am already having a hard time shaving my legs and tying my shoes! It's cause I'm huge! HAHAHAHA...but she is very sweet...and I'm so blessed to have found such a great doctor. I've actually been going to her for the last 4.5 years. We have our ultrasound next Tuesday to make sure my placenta moved up. Please keep us in your prayers as I'd really love to try and give birth naturally...I will be updating again after the appointment!

Love and miss everyone...
