33 Weeks (T-Minus 48-ish Days to Go)

This week Zoey weighs approximately a little over 4 pounds (heft a pineapple) and has passed the 17-inch mark. She's rapidly losing that wrinkled, alien look and her skeleton is hardening.

I'll get an updated belly picture posted soon!

The Waiting Game

Not much happening these days..........just bi-weekly routine Dr. appointments and wrapping-up work projects to prepare for maternity leave.

Zoey has been quite the little gymnast lately. She moves all the time and sometimes I can even feel her little feet & butt. She gets hiccups at least once a day. The doctor told me today that she's almost completely in a head-down position and my belly measurements are exactly where they need to be.

The anticipation is killing me!!! Her room is all done, her clothes are all washed, and her hospital bags are packed. All I can do now is find things to keep me busy (and comfortable) until the big day. That's exactly why I made an appointment for another prenatal massage this Saturday ;)

30 Week Zoey :)

We had another 3D/4D ultrasound last week and got to see little Zoey's chubby little face. She was smiling, swallowing fluids, putting her foot in her face, frowning, and she even stuck her tongue out at Brian when he said her name next to my belly. Smart girl ; ) Here are a couple of pictures we like:

One more peek at 30 Weeks :)

We get one more little peek at Zoey this Saturday!!! We made another appointment for a 3D/4D ultrasound. I was going to just wait it out but then Brian mentioned the ultrasound and...............I couldn't help it :) I can't wait to see her cute little face again.

Also, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for everything you're doing for my baby shower. I'm so lucky to have all of you in my life. I'm so excited to see everyone and have some much needed lady time.

Hello 3rd Trimester!!

I can see the light at the end of the tunnell! I can't believe I'm already 7 months pregnant. The pregnancy really has gone by so fast and hasn't been too terrible......for the most part.......besides the one day last week when I couldn't stop vomiting. I've started to get some heartburn if I eat something to spicy and don't sit up straight afterwards. I had to get the RH shot today in my bum due to my negative blood type (B Neg). This will prevent my blood from creating antibodies to Zoey's blood. The doctor also told me today that I don't have gestational diabetes (blood test last week) but I am anemic so I have to start taking some iron supplements and more iron rich foods. Zoey's heartbeat sounded good and she's been more active than ever. I think she likes going to school because she kicks the whole time we are in our prepared childbirth classes on Sunday's. I can't wait to see everyone at the babyshower in a couple of weeks. Brian's Mom (Lisa) said the invitations are in the mail so you should get one soon!!

p.s. I'll have an updated 7 month belly picture for you soon. I told Brian to take one yesterday and we both forgot.
