35w 3d Appointment

Monday we went and saw Dr. McKinney. She is such an incredible doctor and I am so lucky to have her as my OB! All my vitals checked out perfectly and my total weight gain is at 29 pounds. A little more than I was hoping for it to be, but my doctor assured me I am on a good path! I am measuring right on track in the belly department. She did my group b strep test and I am thinking I will get those results back when I go to my appointment next week. Can you believe I'm at weekly visits now!?! She checked me and said I was 70% (I think) thinned out and a finger tip dilated! She said that is right where I am supposed to be. She could also feel Caden's little head! That was very reassuring to know that he is head down and in position for delivery! Fingers crossed I don't have that crazy child that randomly flips around!! I am sooooo excited that at our visit next Wednesday we are getting an ultrasound!! FINALLY!!! Hopefully he is still a he! Lol

On another note, we went to the Fleck's 50th birthday party at Capital City Harley and it was a 70s theme! Everyone had a great time and the costumes were amazing!!!

Maternity Pictures

My extremely talented sister in law Meredith took some maternity pictures for us at railroad square. She did such an amazing job and we are so blessed to have her share her talent with us! These were taken the day after my shower at 34 weeks!

Baby Shower

My mom, Grammy, and Alexis threw me an amazing baby shower!! I am so grateful to everyone that attended! All the decorations and everything was perfect. Alexis had an activity where everyone wrote words of advice to Caden! I LOVED listening to them all and can't wait to read them to Caden when he gets here. Here are some pics my fabulous sister in law took of the shower!!

Easter and New Furniture!

I had a great Easter with my family! I went over and helped mom cook while Josh was at work. She forced me to make special deviled eggs this year. They were such a pain but turned out super cute! The day before we painted my belly like an Easter egg! It was so fun but Caden didn't make it easy on Grammy! He was rolling around like crazy! We are still on baby watch for my little brothers baby girl. They will be induced tomorrow and the whole family is just abuzz about travel plans etc!

We ordered new furniture because the first place simplybabyfurniture.com was super shady and giving us the run around! The new crib and dresser should be picked up by Wednesday and I'm thinking the changing table by the end of the week! My mom surprised us with an early baby shower gift on Friday, Caden's bedding set!! I love it and can't wait to put everything together! I have a lamp I need to paint and get a shade for as well. I found a super cute tin airplane at Hobby Lobby yesterday that I may have to get for his room.

30 (almost) Week Appointment

Yesterday I had an appointment with Dr. McKinney. Everything went really well! I am at plus 17 pounds in weight gain, BP was great and baby belly is measuring right where it should. It is so encouraging to be reassured that you're doing everything right! I'm not the perfect preggo by any means, but so far everything has been going perfect! I am kind of bummed that I haven't had an ultrasound, but since everything has checked out great I guess I don't need it. So I'm gonna just stop stressing about it and hope Caden stays a boy! Lol

We started our Child Birth Class on Monday evening. It went really well, but Josh and I were surprised we are the youngest couple in class!! We learned all about some pre term labor signs and also a few relaxation techniques. We will go to this class every Monday this month. The last class will be the hospital tour, which I am looking forward to the most.

Still waiting for Caden's furniture to arrive! It's making me crazy because I feel like I'm on pause getting his room ready. Hoping to have it within a week or so.

It's crazy how fast this pregnancy has flown by. I have really enjoyed every moment! Only 10 more, or less, weeks to go. I went to one of my preggo twin, Alexis', baby showers in Jacksonville this past weekend and had a great time. It really made me excited for my own. We had girl time and beach time Sunday!

Getting my hair done next weekend, it's been waaaay too long!! Doing some serious spring cleaning this weekend. There are a lot of distractions this month, so I know April is going to fly by as well!!!

Belly Pics--27 Weeks

A girlfriend of mine, Catie, took some belly pics last weekend! She did a fabulous job!!

Home Stretch

We have reached the third trimester!! On Friday I was 28 weeks. It is getting crazy to think that in just 12 short weeks our sweet baby boy will be here. We have ordered his furniture and are hoping it will arrive in two or so weeks. Saturday I will be traveling to Jacksonville with the girls for Alexis' baby shower. It will be nice to get away for a day and night and also hit the beach! I have gone to the pool last weekend and today to work on some tan and am feeling pretty confidant in my two piece suit! :) Caden is moving around like crazy and it's so neat to see him doing whole body rolls in there. I am making much more frequent trips to the bathroom and sleep during the week has been getting tougher. Can't wait to see what the next 12 weeks bring. We start our child birthing class the first Monday of April! So excited!!!
