8 Months down, 8 Weeks To Go

I absolutely can't believe we've been pregnant 8 months - and we only have 8 weeks left until the due date. YAY! But let's not get ahead of ourselves. The last 2 months when we were pregnant with Weston were the longest 2 months of my life. And it's even hotter now! And I have to go to July (not June, like with Weston)! And the Braxton Hicks are SO much worse...and my Sciatica pain is SO much worse. OH! ...the joys of pregnancy :) How much us ladies go through...and yet it's all worth it. But hey, that doesn't mean I can't complain just a little, right?

32 WEEKS BELLY PIC! 

We had our 32 week appointment yesterday. Baby girl is doing great - she is growing right on track :) And apparently I am, too - except I may be growing a little too fast! Hehe. From weeks 28-30, I only gained 1 lb. And let's just say that from weeks 30-32, I gained quite a few more than just 1 LB. Total, I've gained 23 lbs! YIKES. I have to start paying more attention to what I'm eating or I'm going to end up really regretting it! The food, though....it's just so much more delicious when you're pregnant :)

We are going to have pictures taken today by the fabulous Rebecca Walker (same photographer from our wedding) - she is doing a family session; Weston's 3 yr pics, a little maternity, and some of the 3 of us. I'll post the link to the pictures when she is finished editing.

SPRINKLE & Ultrasound (wks 28-29)

Week 28 is over and we're into Week 29. Can you believe it?? Less than 11 weeks left until our due date. And we're hoping she comes a little early...just a little. I can't express enough how fast time is flying. When we were pregnant with Weston, time flew, but nothing like this. I suppose having such a busy day - which turns into a busy week - which turns into a busy weekend - will definitely make the months seem more like a few days than a few weeks. Weston and I leave the house by 7:45 every morning and don't get home until around 6pm...then it's supper, bath, play, and bedtime. For BOTH of us! I am in bed as soon as he goes to sleep :) And the weekends have consisted of so much traveling lately that I've barely had time to do anything. But no complaining from me - I'm delighted that we've been busy because so many fun things have been going on! From wedding showers and weddings, to baby showers and births - we've embraced them all!

Our 28 week appointment was last week. Baby Girl is perfect - via Dr Wingo. His words exactly :) She and I are both measuring exactly as we should and we are both 100% healthy. Can't ask for anything else! I've gained a total of 15 lbs up to this point...could be better, but could be worse! Below are a few pictures from the ultrasound. Unbelievable!


My great girlfriends from Carrollton threw me a "Sprinkle". It was incredible! We had a luncheon and they "sprinkled" me with love and gifts for baby girl! I got so many wonderful things. Every time I opened a gift I was shocked that it was for a girl - I still can't believe it! I'm so used to having boy things/clothes that when I see a dress or bloomers or anything pink, I'm shocked all over again! So much fun. I'm so anxious and excited to meet her! Thank you to everyone who hosted this amazing sprinkle - it was wonderful and means so much to me. And thank you to everyone who came...I am truly blessed.
