One month later.....

Ooops, I haven't updated in a month! My bad.......what's even worse is I haven't been keeping up with my weekly bump pictures either! Shame on me....blame it on the pregnancy brain!

Here's a quick synopsis of my belly....

29 weeks!

31 weeks!

I skipped 30 weeks, sorry! But just imagine a belly size in between 29 and 31! Yesterday I made it to 32 weeks! And I still need to take that picture!

Let's see what has happened in the past month...
1.) Passed my glucose test with flying colors!! My score was 80 and I believe the max you can have is 120.

2.) Had 2 doctor appointments, all is well with Baby Meyer, she's growing right on schedule, heart rate is good, my weight gain is good! (Well it's normal anyway....not that I enjoy seeing myself gain 25 lbs or more....)

3.) Baby furniture is ordered, as well as some of the other accessories! Just got a call yesterday that our glider is shipping and we should have the glider and our dresser sometime next week! Crib is also ordered, should be here in another 2 weeks or so! Look for pictures as soon as they come in!

4.) Baby showers are planned!!! I am one lucky lady, Little Baby Meyer is getting 4 showers! Family and friends shower hosted by my sister, Church shower hosted by my SIL and 2 work showers from both my work and Andrew's work! Our first one is August 14th, and our last is September 4th. So we will be very busy for a while!

5.) Last night was our last birthing class! We are now officially ready to have this baby! LOL! Both Andrew and I have thoroughly enjoyed going to these weekly classes. We've learned a lot, and our instructor Meredith rocked! She's one of the OB nurses, we hope she's working when we go into labor!

Phew...that's a lot going on, and I'm sure it will keep getting busy! Tata for now!

Carpet is in!

We got our carpet installed this past week in our Nursery! YAY!

Now I just need to order the dang furniture!

28 weeks

How many weeks along: 28


Belly button innie or outtie: Still an innie, woohoo!!


Baby is the size of a(n): Eggplant, last week as an eggplant, and she weighs 2.5 lbs!


Baby Movement: Lots of kicks and jabs, she is sure getting stronger!


Any stretch marks? None...at least on my stomach.......no comment to where some have popped up... :/


Cravings? Hummus is my thing this week, can't get enough of it...yum yum! And it doesn't have a lot of calories, which is a good thing!

Weight gain: 20 lbs.


Other pregnancy symptoms: Heartburn is still there, but only at night after dinner. My feet are swelling everyday, and it's getting harder to roll over in bed....


Overall feeling: Excited this week! Got some things accomplished, and am overall feeling good. Trying to keep enjoying this pregnancy.

Just like her mother!

Yesterday was our pre-natal appointment. We met with the third doctor, Dr. McLean, so now we have met all 3 doctors. She was great! Since all of the rooms were busy, we got the room where they do the sonographs. And since it was the end of the day, the doctor said we could check out the baby on the ultrasound! SCORE! It's been so long since we've seen her pretty little face, we could hardly wait! She was so big she no longer fits on the screen! The doctor zoomed in on her face, and little baby had her hands covering her face! Now is not the time to be shy little baby Meyer! It figures with both Andrew and I as parents, she is bound to be shy! Or maybe just stubborn, but she doesn't take after me on that one! :) Hahaha.......

But just seeing her on the screen, seeing her heart beat away, makes it ok to know she is growing and healthy!
We also made our appointment for the official 4d ultrasound! Hopefully she will be more cooperative then! And I have to schedule my Glucose Tolerance test, and my Rhogam shot. But as long as I pass the GTT, I shouldn't need anymore blood work, Hooray!

Nursery Furniture Fiasco

So, if you remember from last Friday, Andrew and I's plan was to go to the nursery furniture store and purchase our crib. We knew the one we wanted and were ready to buy it.It's the Munire furniture line, the Bristol Crib, finish in cappuccino.

So we walk into the store and one of the employees informs us..

1.)That the store is closing

2.)That they are no longer ordering furniture

3.)All the floor models are on sale

WHAT?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?

I was sooooo upset......so we take a look at the Bristol crib that is on display...I start analyzing it and what do I see, but a nice pretty gash in the front bottom of the crib... :( I looked at the price, and it was only about $100 less than the original price. Looks like we won't be purchasing a crib today!! :(

But, on the plus side, we did look around for other items, and we found these beauties!

CUPCAKES!

I love these guys! I haven't decided if I'm going to paint the bottom purple instead of the blue to match the walls. We decided to add some cupcake details in the nursery too. Mom is also adding cupcakes to the quilt! Too cute!

27 weeks

It's that time again!

How many weeks along: 27 - 13 weeks left! Started the third trimester today.

Belly button innie or outtie: Still an innie.

Baby is the size of a(n): Eggplant! She weighs just over 2 pounds.

Baby Movement: She is still active a lot at night and for little bits throughout
the day. From what I hear, the baby keeps these habits when they are born, for a while.....looks like I may be up during the night!

Any stretch marks? None, thank goodness!

Cravings? I still enjoy ice cream....had a yummy twisted frosty this weekend from Wendy's, with M&Ms...it was heaven! I've also been enjoying pickles too, at least more since I've been pregnant. But again, not such a huge craving that I need to send Andrew to the store pronto!

Other pregnancy symptoms: Heartburn decided to pay me a visit for the first time.....it was lovely. We had pizza last night for dinner, and soon after I ate it, I felt this weird feeling in my throat.....like I couldn't digest...and then all of a sudden I had this burning sensation in my throat too! I told (AKA whined) to Andrew about it....he said it was heartburn! Yay........But his solution? Eat some chocolate! :) Gotta love my hubby!

Overall feeling: Overwhelmed! So many things we need to do before my little
cupcake is born! Get the nursery done, find a pediatrician, find a day care....gotta take it day by day I suppose!

Here's my weekly bump picture!

You Know You're Pregnant When.....

Happy Friday! Boy am I glad it's almost the weekend! Andrew and I decided on the carpet for the nursery, and we hope to have that in soon. We are also going to look at our crib and glider one more time to make sure those are what we want, and order them! Yay to progress on our nursery. Now on to some fun.....

You know you're pregnant when.....

-The first thing people look at now when they meet you is your stomach.
-You can be entertained for hours by just looking at your belly and waiting for it to move/pulse/jump, etc.
-You are constantly looking at everyone's strollers, seeing what you like and don't like. You were even tempted a few times to pull your car over just to ask the mom what brand she had and if she liked it.
-Ice cream becomes the 5th food group.....and the 6th....and the 7th.....
-Weird things start to accumulate on your new "shelf", such as food crumbs, lint, etc.
-You wish you always wore a sign that said "I am due Sept 21st, it's a girl, we're not telling you her name, and I feel great!"

I'm sure I can think of more later, but that's it for now!
