33 weeks and 3rd baby shower

I am 33 weeks now and things are feeling a little different in the belly. Before I could definately feel her moving. Yes, I can still feel this, but I can feel a lot of other things as well. I can feel her from the outside and my stomach is moving with her. When she kicks or hits or moves you can see my stomach make these moves with her. It is quite interesting and makes me laugh every time because I am so amazed by it.

We had a docs appointment last week and they think that she is going to be about 7.5 pds. Everything is looking really good and she is growing right on target. Now we just have to wait 7 weeks for her to arrive. We have another appointment next week and then we have one the week of Thanksgiving and then we start our "once-a-week" appointments.

I have completely put the crib together and now looking for all the decorations. I am eager to get it all put together and done...SOON!!! Now that we have had all of our baby showers we can focus on what we still need to buy and get everything up and ready to go for the little babe!

Right now we are looking for a pediatrician and still trying to figure out who baby Potter will be spending her days with while mommy and daddy work. So hard to think about, don't know how I will cope, but know that I have to do it!! That's why I am in school though...so I can eventually stay home with her and work from home...hopefully 2yrs from now this will happen!

Our 3rd baby shower was GREAT. I had good company and got lots of good things. We got our swing, pack-n-play, clothes, diapers, wipes, hangers and other good's. I think we are ready for her to arrive!!!

I am going to try and post more within these last 7 weeks, I have just been busy with work and school goods. Enjoy the pics and I will talk at you soon, GOD bless you all, PEACE;)

Osu game and Halloween party....

We went to the Osu game today...Stella's first!!! It was a good time, it was a little chilly, but overall it wasn't too bad. We had AWESOME seats, thanks to Chris' CEO letting us have them for the day, 16AA at the twenty yard line....10 rows back from the field..AMAZING!!! I found out today that a pregnant lady should not try to walk 1 1/2 miles fast......your baby doesn't enjoy it and you won't either. SO MUCH PRESSURE!! I kept having to slow down and Chris told me several times that he has never walked so slow in his life, uh-oh, he is usually a VERY slow walker. Luckily they have these new carriage type rides down there and lets just say we definately paid for it and it was WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!! I went from a sad prego to a happy prego! I am just a little nervous because we are doing the Making Strides for Breast Cancer 5k tomorrow, about 3 1/2 miles, this might take us about 3 1/2 hrs if it goes anything like it did today.
Last time I posted I was getting ready for my 2nd baby shower.....it was great. I had everyone there that I loved and wanted to spend time with. We got lots of goodies and tons of clothes....which means MORE LAUNDRY FOR US!! The pics above are me at 30 weeks and ready for the shower, all the hostess' and all the clothes we received. ENJOY!
After the walk tomorrow we are supposed to have prego pics and then our first prego class. As of today, I think I might cancel the prego pics, I think we have too much going on in one day. I will let you know the verdict tomorrow. I will also fill you in on the prego class.......should be fun!!!! Everyone have a great night, I've gotta get ready for my Michael Jackson debut. I will talk at you soon, GOD bless you all, PEACE;)

Today's a biggg day

It's baby shower day!! YAY!! I am soooo excited and can't wait to see everyone. But hope I can stay awake for it all. I had a rough nights sleep. I didn't fall asleep until 1 am, woke up at 5am, was up for about an hour, slept, woke up again at 8 am. Stella was kickin' away last night and I might add that when I woke up at 5 am I was HUNGRY. I actually ate breakfast at 5 am!! I have never done that, unless it was because we left that early for a trip or something. I hope that I look awake today and can put on a happy face. GIVE ME THE STRENGTH!!
Well I will update you later on the baby shower, for now, have a GREAT day. GOD bless you all and I will talk at you soon, PEACE;)

30 week check up

Soooo, everything went good at our doc's appt. She is measuring right on target and her heart beat sounds great...she even kicked the heart beat monitor when the doc was trying to hear it...cute and funny. It was perfectly on target, her kick that is. Well, her pops did play soccer for a very long time and he was DANG good, it would be a dream of his for her to play and be good as well. Watch out everyone, STELLA the soccer queen is on her way.
As for the baby growing....apparently so is mommy. Another 9 pounds added to the baby weight. It's for a good reason, right? I am carrying a precious little bundle, I should be gaining this weight....RIGHT?? I am definately not used to it, still, and I am getting a little scared. I know they say you gain the most of your weight within the last trimester, I have 10 weeks to go, let's see what happens.
Other than that, I had the glucose test and they are testing my iron level and I should find out the goods in 7-10 days. Finally, no more blood will be drawn. We will start our every 2 week's appointments on the 30th and then we will start our once a week appointments on the week of November 30th. I will continue to update you all, as we are only 10 weeks away. CAN'T WAIT!!! Have a great evening, GOD bless you all and I will talk at you soon, PEACE;)

Hiccup queen

Last night was the first night that I could truely tell that she was having hiccups. It literally felt like a hiccup. It was an over-and-over repetitive little beat of the stomach. It was sooo cute! I was excited to get to feel that, because I kept wondering what it would be like. We have our 30 weeks appt tomorrow and excited to see where we stand. I will fill everyone in once we get all the goods. For now, it's shower time...I have lunch with the lovely Ashley Morrow and then who knows what will happen, IT'S GROSS OUT!! As always, a nap sounds just PERFECT!! Have a great day, GOD bless you all and I will talk at you soon, PEACE;)
