30 Weeks & A Closet Full of Goodies!

So today we're 30 weeks. 10 more weeks til due date, and technically, only 7 more weeks til we're full-term. Wow! Is that seriously possible?!?! I feel so great. I seriously have so many days that I wake up and don't even feel pregnant. Then I feel her squirming around and am reminded of her tiny little presence in my tummy! :) I'm feeling very excited about this whole pregnancy chapter coming to an end - but only because we'll be so happy to welcome our baby girl into this world! I'm so thankful everyday for such a wonderful, and easy pregnancy!!!

Quite obviously, as you can tell from my picture below, I am a first-time momma (who else takes pictures of closets?!?! so ridiculous!! haha!!) I just get excited to see all her cute clothes hanging, and to see the other few things that we have gotten so far for her as well. Anyway, decided to share the picture with all of you! :) So far, we have LOTS of clothes, her car seat, diaper bag, a few toys, diapers (thanks to precious little Sofi and her growth), bottles (Although those aren't the ones we'll be using. Those are the free ones I get for signing up everywhere), towels, receiving blankets, formula, etc.... So that's our stock so far. Sometimes I go in the room in the middle of the day just to look at it all! :) Ha! Beto will be like, "are you in Little's room again just staring at her closet?!" I'm like, "yup!" :)

Can I add that I absolutely adore my husband?! He's the best, and I am so thankful for him everyday. The bestest-friend a girl like me could ask for!

Oh, forgot to mention that we got her a play mat on the weekend too! We actually got this at a MOPS yard sale for $5! :) It looks brand new! I love great deals like that!!

29 Week Ultrasound - Video

I have no idea how to actually post a video on a blog. We did, however, upload the video to youtube. So here is the link, if you want to check it out.

29 Weeks

We had our Dr. appointment and ultrasound yesterday! It all went very well, and she looked great! She's already a whopping 2 lb 15 oz (so basically 3 lbs)!! :) Yay! What a big girl already! Ha!

We just got a new camera this week (Beto won it at Verizon - long story!) so he took video of almost the WHOLE appointment yesterday! :) We were very excited. If I ever figure out how to post videos on here, I'll do it!

Here are some of the latest pictures of my growing belly...

I was very excited in these two pictures, because I finally went out yesterday and bought myself a nice pair of maternity jeans that FIT! Thus, here I am, showing them off! :)

This one was taken on the weekend, at Ethan and Kelly's wedding (28 weeks 4 days) - note to self: dresses make you look huge!

A Little Visit From Someone Special...

Sofi and Cam came over for a little visit yesterday. She's getting so big!! It's crazy how fast time goes by, and how fast they grow! She's scooting all over the rug (almost crawling!) and so busy moving and tumbling about. We had yummy popsicles (a special treat!!) and she LOVED that :) What a little muffin she is. Love her. Happy 6 months TODAY baby girl!

Ethan and Kelly's Wedding

We had a great time this weekend at Ethan and Kelly's wedding. It's always so nice to see old friends. I was so excited to see him get all married off! :) It was an adorable wedding for an adorable couple.

It was about a three hour drive to the middle-of-no-where, Pennsylvania. We got there a few hours early to practice our song a few times at the church. Wedding was at 2 o'clock and the reception was at 5.

It was a VERY long day for me, and very tiring (and very achy) to have to sit in a car for 6 hours!!! I am used to being able to lay down whenever I feel like it, and with that not being an option that day, the baby was all sorts of squished! :) I felt like she was going to poke a hand through my ribs! Needless to say, it was so nice to finally arrive home at night and jump into bed!

We have our next appointment and ultrasound this Wednesday. Can't wait to see our cute little one again!! YAY!

FINALLY CONNECTED AGAIN!

So after a very very VERY long two weeks without a computer - I'm finally back up and running again. Our new computer arrived yesterday evening! So happy!! 

Today I've spent my whole morning wasting my time away, playing around with all the new features. We got an imac, so it's very different from a pc - but looks like it'll be tons of fun! :) I also downloaded skype right away this morning so that I can video chat with my mom and my sister. So if anyone else has skype, add me as your friend! :)

We're doing well besides all the new computer excitement. I finally was able to somewhat complete my registries this morning - so that's a relief. For those of you who have asked, we're registered at Babies R Us and Target. 

OH - we also started our child birth classes on Sunday night. The first one was a tad bit boring, we both felt like falling asleep a little (could've been that we spent the whole afternoon at the pool though) :) It basically was just an overview of everything we will be going over and learning over the course of the next 6 weeks.  At the end we did some floor exercises and stuff. We all had to take a blanket and two pillows. I can't wait for breathing exercises and role play stuff. Should be hilarious and I'm so excited! :)

Besides that, not too much going on. I'm very excited to be going to Ethan's wedding this weekend. It'll be my first high school class-mate's wedding that I get to attend! Very excited for them! Beto and I are singing a song :) I'll have to post some pics sometime next week! :)

Hope you're all doing well!! 

Another Dr. Appointment...

So today I had my monthly check-up. Believe it or not, from now on I will be going every two weeks!! Ugh - time is FLYING! I don't feel pregnant enough to go to the Dr. that often! :) Oh well. So that's that. At our next appointment we're having another ultrasound done, so we should get some comfirmation on whether it truly is a little girl like we think and are preparing for :) We'll see! Ha!

They tested me for gestational diabetes today too. Basically you have to drink this really sweet orange soda-like drink 45 min before going in, and then they take your blood. I get the results tomorrow. So hopefully everything is ok...I'm sure it will be!

Besides that, not much to report on the pregnancy. The past couple of days, I've felt like she's been sitting really really low - so it's been pretty uncomfortable....but not unbearable. I've been going to the pool to swim. Oh, and our new condo has a treadmill (the owners left it for us to use)! :) Yay! So I've walked a few times too since moving in. I plan on using it everyday if I can. We'll see how that goes.

K, well I suppose that's all for now!

We Moved!!

So, I haven't been very good about blogging the past few weeks because I have been so so busy! We moved to a new condo last weekend (just a few doors down from where we lived before). We're very pleased and happy in our new place. It's almost identical to where we lived before, except it has a great big loft with LOTS of extra space! We're very excited about the extra space, because now our second bedroom can be designated to BABY, and our guest room can go upstairs in the loft :) I'm very, very excited about this because now I can actually begin on her room. It'll give me lots to do in the next few months before she arrives.

Anyway, also this week, our computer crashed. Thankfully, a new one has been ordered already and is on its way! So soon, I will be back up and connected.

SOON I WILL UPLOAD PICS OF OUR NEW PLACE! :) (Once we get all the boxes unpacked and put away).

4th of July

We had a great, relaxing day yesterday, celebrating the 4th of July with our friends. We spent the day up at a lake by Pete and Jess' house. It was so nice and relaxing. We layed out in the sun, the guys played volleyball, and we even swam to the other side of the lake to a cliff, where some of them jumped off from. Later on that evening, Albert and I went back to Pete and Jess' house and we barbequed hamburgers and relaxed some more :) I love fun holidays...
