Baby Shower

My Fulton friends got together and had a baby shower for Sweet Pea. The kids had the option of going with me or going to the MU football game. Well, of course Truman wanted to go to the MU game and Claire wanted to go with me.

I got a lot of really nice things and Claire and I had a great time. It was nice seeing my friends since I don’t get to see them very often.

I am 37 weeks today and I don’t feel any different than I did last weekL

The Crib

We put Sweet Pea's crib up this weekend! When the boys were putting the crib together I looked at it and just cried. My emotions have been all over lately, just ask Patrick. I am very thankful that I have a loving family who just humors me when I get a little out of control.

I am 36 weeks today. I went to the doctor yesterday and everything is great. I gained 3 pounds in the last week thanks to my mother-in-law for sending 13, yes 13, candy bars to my house. I am ¾ of them!!! I am dilated to a 1. Only 9 more centimeters to go!

34 weeks

Sweet Pea will be here before we know it. We started to put the crib up the other day and had to stop because our realtor called and wanted to show our house. I am so ready to take that sign out of my yard!

I have been feeling good for the most part. It is starting to get uncomfortable sitting at my desk at work for 7 hours. My belly is so big that I just can't seem to sit still for more than 30 min. at a time. However; I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!!!

Stroller

I bought a stroller/car seat last night! Patrick doesn't think it could be used for a girl. What do you think?

30 weeks and 5 days

Claire and I just got back from my doctors appointment. I gained only 1 pound in the last three weeks for a total of 17 pounds. I gained 35 - 40 pounds with the other two. I'm not sure I will gain that much this time - at least I hope not:)

My doctor said that babies head is down low and in position. Hard to believe he/she will be here in 6ish weeks. The heart rate was 135-140. Boy? Girl?

I go back to the doctor every two weeks now. I will keep you posted.

Getting Ready for Sweet Pea

Sweet Pea will be here in about 7 weeks! This weekend I plan on shopping for baby essentials. What do I need??!! It seems like forever ago that my kids were babies and I'm just not sure what to get. Let me know if you have any ideas. Also, I am looking for that "perfect" stroller. Any suggestions?
