I have not had too many pregnancy cravings, but there have been some things I’ve enjoyed more than others. This is my current favorite…the sweet Oreo milkshake from anywhere is the best things for the heartburn and the salty corn chips from Trader Joes just hit the spot!

We are so blessed!! March was a busy month mostly because it was filled with baby showers. We have such amazing friends and everyone wanted to throw us a shower, so we obliged. =) Each was so unique and perfect it it’s own way. We were reminded of how blessed we are with these friendships and are just so thankful. One shower everyone brought bibs, another was diapers, and yet another was books to start a children’s library. We were completely showered with everything we need for the baby and more. Here are a few pictures…
Thanks to each and everyone of you who were involved, helped, attended, and so much more. We love you all!
It’s been a few weeks, but I wanted to post a few pics from my birthday weekend.
The weekend started with a surprise party compliments on the 3 year old class as the preschool. This is the sign they made me. So cute!
Next, was a game night with fun friends from church:
Our amazing friends, The Fosters, also came to town and we had fun hanging out and laughing with them. Erica is also pregnant and due in September.
On Sunday the Fosters and Mundys joined us for lunch at the DogHouse grill when we took a visiting band out to lunch. These are the ladies:
We finished off the weekend with a relaxing evening at home complete with a nap, frozen pizza for dinner, ice cream, and a movie. Plus, Paul being the amazing husband that he is, surprised me with tickets to see Sugarland and Keith Urban this summer. Sweet!!! What a great weekend! Thanks to everyone to was a part of it!
Ok, so we are officially 38 weeks pregnant, and I’ve gotten a little behind on my updates. I will try to catch you up. We are going to the Dr every week now, so that is fun. It’s fun to hear how she is growing and changing. They check how far I’ve dilated and if the baby has dropped. As of the last appointment neither of these have happened. So, we are just waiting for her to be ready to come out. I’m feeling more uncomfortable and more pressure, but I guess that is to be expected when you’re carrying a child. I keep thinking it might mean something relating to labor, but who knows. =) The baby room is ready, we have our stroller and car seat all set up and ready, the clothes and blankets are washed, and we are getting the house cleaned. We are excited to meet our new little one. Here are a few other symptoms, stories, highlights, and more from the past few weeks.
-My ankles have continued to swell and get more and more disgusting. The Dr check them every week, but since my blood pressure and protein in my urine are fine, she is not concerned.
-Since my birthday weekend my right hand started to go numb at night. Now, it is staying numb and achey all day. Not fun!
-Heartburn continues, but milkshakes really help. =)
-I’m going to the bathroom all the time.
-April 15th I had to take my wedding rings off and start wearing them around my neck. This was a sad day. It feels so strange to not have them on.
Here are some pics from the last few weeks.
