Almost There!!

I can't believe he is almost here!!! I'm a little nervous still but mostly excited!!
So last Friday I went back to the Dr. & she said that not much had changed. I guess we weren't moving along as fast as we thought. One thing was they always measure my tummy when I'm laying down & this time I measured less than I had the week before. She said that usually means that the baby has dropped more which it looked like he had, but she wanted to get an ultra sound just to check the fluids & his weight. They were too busy in her office so they sent me over to the hospital to get it done. The ultra sound lady didn't really tell me anything, she just took a lot of pictures & measured things. But I did find out that he is head up.... I was a little surprised since I thought he'd already turned down but I guess not. So we'll see how it goes.
I think I'm having more contractions now. Some times I'm not sure if its really a contraction or what. Everyone is starting to guess when it will happen, my mom says he'll be late but Alyssa says this Sunday... I hope sooner than later cause I'm ready for this part to be done, but it's all up to him now.
Oh & here is a picture at almost 38 weeks!! This Friday it will be 39, AHH!

So I don't have any new pictures but I promise I'll take one cause you all need to see this belly :) I can't believe how big it is, some people say I look small but that's mostly strangers.
Everything has been going good. My Dr. had me stop working at about mid August cause I was having a lot of cramps especially after I was on my feet a lot. I had been cutting back my hours already but I didn't really want to stop completely. It helped a lot though & I was having a hard time keeping up with my tables anyways.
So, he's dropped down now. I can tell because first of all you can see that its lower, I can breath better now, & also because for a while I had to eat a lot of pretty small meals. There just wasn't any room but now that he's dropped I'm able to eat normal sized meals again, YAY :)
Also he really likes to stick his feet (at least I think they're his feet) into my ribs now. It's usually on the left side but let me tell you , it doesn't feel too great.
Well, I went to the Dr. on the 11th & she said that I have at least one week left. I was like...one? Oh my!! I mean it could be longer but just the realization that it could be so soon is crazy. I'm so excited but also a little nervous...

Baby Shower!!

CJ Baby Shower

There are four of us pregos working at CJ right now Monet, Leslie, Me, & Chelle. So our wonderful coworkers had a big baby shower for all of us! It was so much fun & so sweet of everyone, I felt very loved :)

So I haven't been working much & it was great getting to visit with everyone. We played some games too. Chelle & I modeled our bumps back to back for the TP game so they had to guess how much was needed to go around both of us. There was a song game were you had to match the title (all with the word baby in them) to the artist. It was hard I only got 1! & a purse scavenger hunt were the first person to find the right item in their purse got a prize, I had a bandaid so I won a face scrubby.

Then they spoiled us :)

Leslie & I are having boys & Chelle & Monet are having girls! So we got little mommy baskets with stuff for us, lots of diapers, wipes, lotion & such cute clothes! Andrea got each of us a bouncer, Jeanna made us little blankets. & also, very important, Troy got a hot wheels car from Lindsay cause her little brother said no boy can be born with out hot wheels!
I'm just so grateful to have such wonderful supportive people around me both at home & work! So Thank You so much to everyone!!

Baby Bump

So I guess I need to put some more pictures up here for you guys. I wish I had ultra sound pics but these should do for now :)

This is at 23 weeks. I was checking out the new shade Brandon was building over his garden. Since I'm growing a baby he's growing a garden :) & I have to show you all a picture of it cause it's really nice!


Then last weekend (at 26 weeks) I got to go have lunch with my Mom, Stephy, & Marta. We had lots of fun catching up & telling old stories. Stephy could not get enough of the baby bump & they all actually got to feel him kick! Lucky cause he doesn't do that for many people ;)

little kicker

He kicks & moves so much now, I love it! It's my favorite part!!

Well... there really has not been much to write about lately. We went to the Doctor but we didn't get an ultra sound so no new pictures this time :( She said that everything is going good though. I had to drink the sugary drink. It wouldn't have been so bad except they gave me fruit punch & I really don't like that stuff.

So I think we have a name picked out for sure ..... Troy! Both Brandon & I really like it & we tried looking for other ones but none of them seemed right. Its all going by really fast though with picking out names & just getting ready. I went & registered last week. On Tuesday I went with Bobbie & Mihai to Target. It was a lot of fun getting to pick stuff out & Mihai was so excited! she kept going ahead of us & bringing things back she thought we needed & telling us we didn't need to register for somethings we could just buy them now :) Then on Saturday I went with my Mom & Jenna to Babies R us. Mom loved it, she wanted to scan everything but its her first grand baby so I wouldn't expect any less excitement ;) oh & they gave us a really stupid scanner, half the time I couldn't get it to work & I had to have Jenna use her scanning skills!!

I'm starting to get our room ready too, like packing up stuff I don't need & then I'm going to have Brandon rearrange it so we can put the Bassinet in there & stuff. It's all so exciting!
