I spy a Kitty

Can you find the kitty??




This might be a problem but I find it hilarious that I found him sleeping under the mattress!

I love a good deal!

We had a moratorium on all baby shopping until we are out in MN but today I saw that a neighbor was selling an infant swing and bassinet for $100. Sweet! I went and checked them out since both cost over $100 for each and was really happy with the shape they were in. You would never know they were used so Beany now has a bassinet and a swing! A couple less things to get now. :)

Birthing classes = check

So I had a quick appointment with the doctor this morning. She just wanted to see me one more time before we hit the road to Minnesota. It was rather uneventful and all is well with Beany and me.

Also, I finally got us registered for our child birth class and breastfeeding class. It is going to be a busy time at the end of July since the birthing class is a Saturday and Sunday and then the next Thursday is the breastfeeding class. She better stay put until then! :)

31 Weeks

Well the big move is a week from today. I have my last doctor's appointment here tomorrow morning. I am sure I will have more to update then. Beany has been moving around a lot like normal and I have not been sleeping well. But other then sore hips and a lack of sleep, all is well. All in all I don't have anything to complain about. It is hard to believe that in 6 weeks I am considered full term. I have SO much work to do before she makes her big appearance. I hope she staying cozy for awhile longer.

I will report back after my appointment tomorrow morning.

Can I whine for a second??

So I am almost 31 weeks and I am HOT, swollen, tired, and uncomfortable. It is going to be a long 9ish weeks.

Okay...I am done now.

My loving sister aka my paparazzi

So I got my picture take today...with only like 49 others as she was following me around before my dinner started. This is what happens when you mix lack of sleep, long work hours, and us.





And here is this interesting video she took....

30 Weeks

So I planned on having a photo for this week but I managed to get dinner all over my shirt so the picture will not be happening.

I am in Atlanta this week gearing up for a 400 person dinner tomorrow night. I am SOOOO ready for it to be over. Beany and I had a doctor's appointment before I caught my flight on Tuesday and we both got a clean bill of health. She is continuing to grow nicely. She is getting close to 3 pounds now. In general I am still feeling great but my sleep cycle is entirely messed up now. I am dying to be able to sleep and its not b/c I am uncomfortable but I just seem to have general insomnia now. I hear that this may continue until Beany is born.

In other news, it looks like we have a move date now. The big day looks to be June 29th or 30th. I am so ready to be out there and settled now. I want to have plenty of time to get eveything settled for Beany before her big arrival.

I promise there will be a picture next week as I will do the pictures before dinner. :)

ETA: There will be a picture tomorrow. The official proclamation came from Kellie.

It's offical...I am losing my mobility

My maternity jeans are too long since I have super duper short legs and now I can no longer bend over enough to cuff my own pants. Sadness....

29 Weeks

Big news...We are moving to Minnesota in about 2 weeks. Michael got a new job in Edina, MN and we will be making the big trek out there soon. Time is just flying by now! I cannot believe I will be 30 weeks next week. I think these last 11 weeks are going to fly by especially with the move. Beany is working on 3 pounds now and it is size of a spaghetti squash. I am still feeling great besides a few aches here and there. We are really started to get excited for her arrival now. I feel like the end is starting to become in sight now. That is exciting and terrifying at the same time.

I am off to Atlanta for most of next week so I will be reporting in from there for the next weekly update.

3D Ultrasound

This morning Beany had her 3D ultrasound. She did great and even better news is that she flipped. yay for no more breech baby! So without further ado here she is in her photo shoot:

28 Weeks

We are getting so close to the last 10 weeks now. There was the big update yesterday since I had to go into the doctor's office and the hospital. She is getting so big now. She just over 2.5 pounds now. Last weekend we went out to TX for the baby shower. We had such a great time but boy it was an exhausting trip. There will be an update with pictures later from there. But here is a sneak peak at my awesome diaper cake!



I have my 28 week doctor's appointment tomorrow morning as well as my glucose test. I don't know why, but I am pretty sure I am going to fail the 1 hour test and have to take the 3 hour one. I start my 2 week appointments this week. We are really starting to get exciting about meeting Beany but I hope she plans on cooking awhile longer!

One very willful child

Beany is just kicking up a storm today. We are in trouble with her I think!

Interesting day

So over the past several days Beany has not been very active. I decided today that I should probably call the doc since it had been longer then I was comfortable with. Well the nurse has me do some kick counts this morning and based on that, they have me come in for a nonstress test. This measures her heartbeat, movements, and contractions continuously for about an hour. She moved only once during that whole time and that earned me a ultrasound at the hospital. Thankfully once they started the ultrasound she started moving up a storm. She gave the tech a run for her money to get the images she needed. So in the end all is well but she did give me a hard time! She is not even here yet and she is giving us a run for our money. I did get a couple good pictures of her though!

On a happier note, she is getting so big now! She is 2 pounds 7 ounces now and measuring perfectly! I was able to see her "breathing" and even her fully formed front teeth that are in her gums. It was really cool!
