33 Weeks Baby Bump!!

Well today I am 33 weeks! Here is the latest bump picture! Feeling good and can hardly believe we have 7 weeks left to go!

30 weeks! Only 10 to go!

Well I had my 30 week appt today. It was pretty quick but went well. Aidan's heartrate was 150. My blood pressure was fine, and I'm up another pound! We went over what's to come in the next few weeks. I go back in 2 weeks at 32 weeks for another appt and I also need to go into the pernatologist at 32 weeks for a follow-up. Then I start going in weekly at 33 weeks. This might change and I might go in twice a week, but they will decide this at the next appt. I'll also continue to get an ultrasound every couple weeks to monitor Aidan's growth and at the weekly appts, I'll be doing the fetal stress test. She said it is possible that if he starts to show stress that they will induce early, but that we'll just have to see how it goes. At this point, she said he is measuring about a week ahead, so that is great for his growth, b/c typically babies are smaller when they only have a single umbilical artery.

We have officially finished our birthing classes and are getting closer to being ready for our little man to be here! I have posted a new bump pic. It is amazing to see how much the bump has grown over the past couple weeks! DEfinitely feeling it more in my back, and the days of being able to lay on my back are officially over (I can't believe I was able to sleep on my back as long as I did). My feet/ankles are starting to swell a little, but usually only when I've been sitting for awhile or standing for awhile. Overall, I am feeling great though!

24 weeks 6 days

Here's the latest bump pictures! It's really starting to "pop" now! Aidan has been kicking up a storm and is getting stronger every day. I finally seem to be getting past this cold and my hearing is almost back to normal! All in all, I'm feeling great!

At the baby shower, my mom gave us the crib bedding, and Grandma Bob :) and Aunt Keli got us some of the decor items. All the misc boxes (everything got shipped separately) have slowly trickled in and I have been working on getting Aidan's room set up the past two days. As soon as I have it "finished" I will be sure to post some pictures!

Happy Holidays!!

I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe holiday! We had Ian's squad over early this week for a holiday party and had a great time! Yesterday we went christmas shopping and got a new car! We got a really good deal and we love it! It's a dark red Acura MDX and it's fully loaded! Aidan's going to be spoiled with his "1st" car. The best thing is that it does have the third row, so it will be able to "grow" with our family as it grows! Now we just need to sell the truck and we'll be set! So if you know anyone who needs a truck... send them our way!

Ian will be working tonight (someone's got to pay for the car), but then he has Christmas off. I'll visit with friends for the evening and then tomorrow I'll cook us a nice Ham dinner for Christmas (thanks Mom!) and we'll spend a quiet day at home!In baby news, I'm finally starting to show a bit more, so I've uploaded some new pictures for all of you! I'm feeling good, and will be anxious to get my appt at the perinatologist over and done with on Monday.

20 Weeks 6 Days

Have a very merry Christmas everyone!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving meal and evening spent at our friends', Lisa and Harry, house. And in honor of stuffed turkeys and tomorrow being the start of Week 17 and my 5th month of pregnancy, here's a new baby bump picture! Hopefully no one confuses me with a stuffed turkey! ;)

Hard to believe my kiddos at school still haven't guessed that I'm pregnant! They just think I'm getting chubby! Oh, and ignore my head being cut off, I have established that my husband is not ever going to be a professional photographer!

You know, I used to think that time was moving so slowly, and it just amazes me that I am going into the 5th month and am only a few weeks shy of being half way through.

Finally a baby bump!

So just thought some of you might like to see the bump starting to emerge!! I'm getting harassed at school because I don't "look" pregnant yet. So here's my proof! The first picture was taken at just about 6 weeks back on Sept 10th. The next two pictures were taken this weekend after we got home from a wedding and were taken at 14 weeks. FYI... Ian said I looked too cheesy when I was smiling in the 2nd picture, so that's why I look all grumpy in the last picture.

And just to update everyone... I'm oficially out of the 1st trimester. I'm feeling good, except for coming down with a cold this weekend. But managed to completely escape morning sickness, and am hoping to start getting some energy back!
