32 weeks

Thursday, October 29, 2009

We visited our doc for our 32 week appointment yesterday. Everything is looking good and measuring right on schedule. We will visit again in 2 more weeks! After the appointment Keith and I headed downtown to take some pictures of the baby bump. These pictures are not your typical maternity pictures, but we had a great time shooting them. I am only posting the bump picture on the blog, but visit Keith Varden Photography on facebook for the other pictures.

Love Wins!

31 Weeks

Thursday, October 22, 2009

Quick update: Here is a new belly picture. We are now 31 weeks along...9 weeks to go until that due date. Everything is still going great. I have been really tired, and my back is now hurting in all kinds of places. Keith can not sleep in the bed with me because I move so much, so he has taken up permanent residence on the couch for the time being...just so I do not sound like a horrible wife, he does LOVE to sleep on the couch, so it works out good for both of us. Our baby tea is a week and a half away, and we are both very excited about that. We will be spending some quality time with some family and friends this weekend, so needless to say, Life is Good!

My Wonderful Husband

Monday, October 19, 2009

First of all, a little about Ms. McKinley...we attempted to have a 4-d ultrasound a couple of weeks ago. I was 29 weeks when we went in and she was measuring around 2 pounds and 15 ounces. Because of her location we did not get any good pictures, but we could see enough (mouth up) to decide that she is definitely going to have her daddy's big eyes! Now on to how great my husband is...

He worked very, very hard last week painting and making the room perfect for McKinley's arrival. He practically painted the whole room by himself, and I am so thankful for all of his hard work. He is absolutely wonderful, and I love him so much! So the room is officially painted a nice yellow/green color. We also got our furniture back from the man who was refinishing it, and it looks absolutely amazing. We set up the crib and changing table on Saturday, and I got so excited that I could not wait to put the bedding on, so we went ahead made her crib. The plan was to continue spacing all the preparations out, so that we would not be "waiting" for so long, but that did not last long! We hung 4 pictures that our friend painted for the nursery, and they look incredible! Thanks Lauren! We still have several things we are waiting on (i.e. glider, twin bed so we can sleep in the room if needed), but the room is coming together quite nicely.

My wonderful Sunday School girls gave me a Dipe and Wipe party yesterday. It was very nice to see our closet full of diapers and wipes. Thank you to all the girls and teachers! We also had Samantha and Ryan's wedding tea yesterday. It was a big success and Samantha got so many nice things! There wedding is a little over a month away and I know they are ready for the big day.

We are going to attempt another 4-d ultrasound this week. I am now 31 weeks, and we have been told that this will be our last chance to see her before she is just too big. I am very excited to see her again, but I will not be upset if we do not get a good shot of her. It will just be all the more special when we see her for the first time. Well that is a quick update of the last few days. Again I must say THANK YOU to my husband. He truly is amazing!

Love Wins!
