36 & 37 Weeks

We are full term!

I had a wonderful baby shower at work this week. My co-workers are great! We got a lot of adorable clothes and a bunch of gift cards. We were able to get a few last needed things with the gift cards we received and are very grateful!

We did get to do our maternity pictures last Sunday and they turned out beautiful! Our 36 week picture is from that photo shoot.

Other than that, we are just playing the waiting game now! We are ready to meet our little Miss Addison!

35 Weeks

I'm a week late in writing this.

My excuse is complete exhaustion!

We were supposed to have our maternity pictures done last week, which is why I didn't really do a "real" photo for 35 weeks. Another excuse, I know. We are one again today, and the sun is shining! I'm pretty confident we will have beautiful pictures this week :)

My best friend had her baby on Friday! I'm so excited for her and her husband! We got to meet their darling little girl last night. She is beautiful!

Now I can't wait to have my darling little girl!

We've met our pediatrician. So that's one more thing off the list! There are few things left to do. One major thing is to install the car seat base. I think we will try to do that today because Brian is going to be working on the weekends again starting next weekend. Well, until Addison arrives.

We are also nervous about that because he's working 2 hours away. However, our doctor doesn't seem to concerned yet. Nothing seems to be changing in likes of the baby coming. I guess we'll get a little more concerned once things start to change.

Here's the picture I took on Monday of my 35 week belly!

34 Weeks

We're getting closer!

I've been busy trying to get things ready for Addison's arrival! I still have quite a few things to do...but I guess we get done what can get done!

We have a doctors appointment on Friday. I think after this one I'll have to start going every week until she's born. I'm hoping they'll have some late afternoon appointments so I don't have to take any more days off from work.

One of the things that I've done was put the swing together. I can't wait to put her in it :)

Today I'm going to try to put the pack n' play together. I might also try to finish cleaning the car so we can install the car seat and put the window shades up. 

There's so much to do!!!! So little time!!!! 

Of course Brian has been working like crazy again. He's going to have to have off this coming Sunday though because we are getting our maternity pictures done! Hopefully I don't look like a beached whale lol 

Anyway...here's the picture from 34 weeks...I was lazy and didn't do a board this week. 

Happy New Year!

33 Weeks- Merry Christmas!

It's almost Christmas!

Brian and I were trying to get into the Christmas spirit this year...we were struggling a bit. Brian has been so busy this year that we haven't had a lot of time to do Christmas stuff. I finally convinced him to bring the tree down from the attic. I didn't put all the stuff I normally put on there, but we at least have a tree now!

I went to the doctors from my 33 week check up. I also had an ultrasound to check her heart. They didn't get good images when we had her 20 week anatomy scan. All is well with her heart! We also found out that she is going to take after her mom & dad's long legs! She's in the 80th percentile for the length of her legs and arms! I wonder how tall she'll be when she grows up...

Here's a picture we got from the ultrasound today.

I still think she's going to have her daddy's nose :)

Here's my bump picture for this week! I did it by myself...so it didn't turn out that great...

Here's another somewhat cool picture I tried...

Merry Christmas! I hope you have many blessings! 

32 Weeks

Busy!

That pretty much sums up life lately.

Brian has been working every day. He had a forced day off on Saturday which was great! We got some shopping done. Then he treated me to a prenatal massage, got Addison The Elf on the Shelf, and then took me to a movie! I was spoiled that day...and Addison is going to be spoiled by him too!

He's going to be such a great daddy :)

This week we have 2 child birthing classes. Yesterday's class was a little gross. I saw lots of pictures of other people that I never wanted to see....but I guess you have to be informed! Tomorrow night is our last class, thank goodness. We are exhausted!

I have 2 weeks off starting Saturday. Hopefully I can get most of the last minute things done before she comes. But I don't think we will ever be completely "ready". I'm hoping Brian will stop working on the weekends at the end of December and he can help me with some of the things I can't do. Plus, I want to spend some time with him before Addison comes :)

I didn't do our "usual" picture....but here's the belly!

That's my mom's favorite shirt :) She picked it out!

30ish & 31 weeks

 Life is getting busy!

I guess we better get use to it :)

We went up to Jersey for Thanksgiving and we had our baby shower while we were up there. It was beautiful! My family had it at Olive Garden for us- can I say spoiled?! Really! They went way above and beyond!

This weekend, while Brian has been working his tail off, I've been working in Addison's room. I've been going through her gifts. Mainly, I wanted to start getting the clothes organized. She has more clothes than I do!

Her room is still a mess, but maybe next weekend I'll have it mostly together....maybe....lol

We started our child birthing classes this week. We have 3 more to go. I'm not completely terrified yet...but there are 3 more sessions to go!

Oh! I forgot! While we were up in NJ we had a 3D/4D ultrasound. It was SO COOL! It was really special to have most of my immediate family there to see her dancing around in my belly :)

This was one of the best pictures

I think we all have agreed that she has Brian's nose :) It's such a cute one too :)

The coolest thing for me was being able to see what I've been feeling in my belly. She's starting to run out of room in there, but she's still rolling around! 

I've babbled enough today! 

Here's the photos from last week & this week. 

 

This one was really 4 days ago...30 and 1/2 weeks...

Finally one on time! 31 weeks...

I really think those tight shirts make my bump look bigger! I look bigger in the picture from 4 days ago! Oh well...I'm surely not shrinking! lol

29 1/2 weeks

I'm late.

Again.

Brian was working all weekend, so I didn't get a chance to get our picture done.

I passed my 3 hour glucose test! Yey! No gestational diabetes!

We are heading up to NJ for Thanksgiving. We are looking forward to our 3D/4D ultrasound with our family and looking forward to the baby shower! It'll be a special Thanksgiving this year :)

But, I'm tired and my brain needs some rest. So onto the picture for this week!

Sorry it's kind of dark. I think the flash was off.

Gobble-gobble!
