32 Weeks, 3 Days

Hello everyone!
I thought it was time for a Baby/pregnancy update! :)
We had a doctors appointment Friday and everything looked great. She is active and growing! She is still 'head down' which is awesome! I had actually lost a few pounds, but the doctor said there was no real reason for concern. We met our new OB, who I really liked. She was quiet but very nice. She is also pregnant so she knows everything I/We are going through right now.
We don't have another appointment for 3 weeks, which kind of surprised me, but she said I, and the little girl are healthy and no reason to come back in 2 weeks?

We also had our last ultrasound on Saturday!!! I forgot the disk so I will have to post pics in a later post! It was so much fun. She was sleeping with her arms in her face at first, but with A LOT of poking we finally got her up and moving. We got to see her open and close her eyes, take some 'practice' breathes, and move around. She is so sweet! We love her so much already!!!
It is kind of hard to believe that the next time we see her she will be in our arms... That we are mommy and daddy to someone, that we are/will be parents! Its terrifying and exciting in the same breathe!

Well I better get to work, but we will keep you posted on the excitement coming in the next few weeks!!!

Love

A week at home :)

Hello all!

I haven't updated in a while because we were in Oklahoma last week! Graham and I had such a great time! We have decided that a week is NOT long enough though... I feel like we didn't get to see everyone, and defiantly didn't get to spend enough time with the people we did see.

Our week consisted of friends, family, shopping, baby shower, Minnesota game, and OU/Texas!

We stayed with Brooke and Seth which was a blast! Thank you to you both for letting us stay!

Last Sunday (11th) we flew to Saint Louis for the Minnesota/Rams game! Graham has been dying to see Brett Favre play and so for our anniversary, I got us tickets to the game. We stayed with our friends Lauren and Mike that we met on our honeymoon! They took such good care of us! They gave a us a tour of the city, and we LOVED it! We cant thank them enough for letting us stay and showing us such a great time! We would also like to thank Mike for the maternity shots he did while we were there! We love them! http://mncphotography.blogspot.com/



Every day (lunch) and night consisted of meeting up with friends and/or family! We ate WAY too much while we were there! haha. We did our best walking it off shopping every afternoon ;)

Thursday night the girls threw me and the little one a baby shower! It was so sweet and I so grateful for the love that was shown to us. I have the best friends in the world! :)



Sorry there are not pictures to post with this post. I was way to tired yesterday to upload them but I promise to get them up in the next day or two.



Baby update- We have an appointment on Friday so I will give you a more detailed one then, but she is doing great! Getting big and moving around like crazy! We are getting so excited to meet her... 60 days or less!!!!



Hope everyone has a great week!

29 Weeks... Here come the waterworks???

So I/we are 29 weeks today! On the home stretch, so should be beyond happy right? People have asked me how the mood swings have been and to this point I have been so proud of myself!!! As far as I know ( others may disagree) I feel like I have breezed through this pregnancy (for the most part) without the ups and downs, crazy pregnant lady, and downright bitchiness, and other horror stories that you hear about with pregnancy!!! But, oh there is a but, the last two days have been a nightmare! I have been SOOOOO emotional, and have literally talked myself out of ripping peoples heads off for the smallest things? I get so mad, so fast? Its the strangest feeling because you know that you are being irrational (although telling me that, MAKES IT WORSE), but you cant stop yourself. And then I move on to the waterworks... Small example... Friday is jeans day at work, and because it is absolutely freezing outside I thought today would be a great day for uggs. Well after I had the fight to get my jeans on, it came time to get my shoes on... OH LORD HELP ME! As I twisted and turned, tried bending in certain directions, got furious, felt sick from the bending, finally got my pants tucked into my boots!!!! I then laid on my bed and cried for 10 minutes!!!!!!!!! Crazy right?

All that to say I made it to work on time, but started crying the second a girl commented on how cute my uggs were... I hate feeling like this! I hate feel like a crazy person! And I am getting so un-comfortable... I know that in the end it will all be worth it, but its miserable right now.



On a brighter side... 1 more week until OKLAHOMA!!! I am so excited to go home. Hopefully this new emotional, crazy thing is just a short term thing so that people actually want to be around me ;)
