35 weeks - Honey bunny or Honeydew???

Your baby doesn't have much room to maneuver now that she's over 18 inches long and tips the scales at 5 1/4 pounds (pick up a honeydew melon). Because it's so snug in your womb, she isn't likely to be doing somersaults anymore, but the number of times she kicks should remain about the same. Her kidneys are fully developed now, and her liver can process some waste products. Most of her basic physical development is now complete — she'll spend the next few weeks putting on weight.

First time Mom's Club?? LOL

Well it turns out she was stuck in my pelvis facing my back. They manipulated her out and she was kicking like a champ again! I really hope she doesnt try to come out breech again.

It wasn't so bad. The nurse was so funny. I asked her if I was officially in the first time moms club for coming to the hospital early :) She laughed. We had a good time. I was there about an hour. I got all my registration done and answered all those questions. Then I got my anethesia consult so I won't have to go back for it next week.

This girl is definitely going to be a trouble maker LOL

What a weekend! LOL

It was a nice long weekend. I needed a break from work! Thanksgiving went well. I went to visit my dad. It was a 3 hour round trip... Now I know why they say limit your travel! My back was killing me by the time I got home.
Friday I wasnt planning on going shopping. There was only one thing I wanted and it was online. So I woke up Friday to try to get it and BAM the computer had a VIRUS!!! DOH by the time we got it working the item was sold out. By 10AM I was bored and decided to venture out. I went to Walmart and surprisingly it was not that busy. I didn't uy anything there. Then I went to the mall and got myself a robe for the hospital. I got a $36 robe for $14! YAY Black Friday deals. I got a few other Christmas presents and another good deal at borders. I got $10 off a $15 book. Then I went back home and cooked another Thanksgiving dinner. This time with enough food so we would have leftovers for a few days.
Saturday was my first baby shower! It was fun (Pics will be posted later) I got some cute stuff and had a good time with my friends. When I get the pictures from my friend Aimee I will post more info.
Sunday made me VERY happy. My dad came over and put together the crib. And I finally got to put together the crib and a few decorations in her room. I have been waiting so long to do that. Now its no room out of a magazine, but I like it. It is special to me.

Now the room insnt near finished, but I still dont know where I will be living. I have shelves to hang on the walls. I have a raggedy ann & andy curtain set. I have outlet and light switch covers. I have wall stickers. And I have pictures to hang, but its a start. The big raggedy ann & andy were my moms when she was a teenager. The bear in the corner was the first stuffed animal Jason gave me. The purple teddy bear was my first teddy bear (that I remember) and The Lemon Meringue doll was something I saved from when I was a kid. The raggedy ann on the dresser was given to me by a neighbor when I was young. I really like the fact I saved some of my favorite things to give to my daughter even if they aren't modern and picture perfect.

I love the Raggedy Ann stuff I got. I added a few things to the crib (and yes I know she cant sleep in there with all that stuff LOL) The white bunny in the corner is from my mom. The blue doll is Baby Bobby. My favorite doll from when I was young. And I put the "build-a-bear" bunny that her dad and I made her. It was fun and I love that I feel like I have a space for her now.

Happy Thanksgiving!

There aren't enough words or time to express what I feel

But this is my most thankful year yet....

Finally!! I feel rested today

I slept so wonderfully last night. You know I have been sleeping poorly when a good nights sleep makes Blog subject number 1! I was not uncomfortable at all and did not wake up once from 10pm til 4:30 AM It felt nice to sleep - FINALLY!!!

Thanksgiving is tomorrow. I will be going to my dad's. I actually don't know if I will have time to blog tomorrow. This will be a busy weekend. I took Friday off! Hooray for long weekends. Saturday is my baby shower and Sunday my dad is coming over to finally put the crib together. I am excited to see what my Raggedy ann stuff looks like on the bed. I will try to update this weekend. Especially after the baby shower :)

34 weeks!

Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds (like your average cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long. Her fat layers — which will help regulate her body temperature once she's born — are filling her out, making her rounder. Her skin is also smoother than ever. Her central nervous system is maturing and her lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor, you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies.

Wow time is flying! I am getting so excited!

Rest and Relaxation

Thats what this weekend was! It was so nice to be able to be at home and rest. I am starting to get really sore by the end of the day and my poor feet swell up terribly. So it was nice to relax and not feel so miserable by 8PM. We really did not do much this weekend at all. I scrapbooked on Saturday and Sunday and almost finshed all of my pictures. I got about 40 pages done. Feels good. I cooked Thanksgiving dinner for the two of us. That was nice except for the part that is heated up Jason's apartment to like 300 degrees for the day. I had the wondows open and fans on and was still burning up! But it was good.

And I discovered..... I have a baby in my belly!!! LOL She was kicking so hard on Saturday night, but like always when I called Jason over to look she stopped. So I said here I will see if I can make her kick and I was pushing on my belly. Now I have pushed on my belly a million times and sometimes I feel a little lump or something that may be the baby, but I was was pushing I GASPED!! Jason thought something was wrong. No I said I just felt our baby! It was so weird to me to feel a whole baby in my belly. And to feel her move when I pushed on her!
Ok so I know its not that interesting, but it was the first time I with my hands felt my baby in my belly and it was really cool!
