36 Weeks

I know I haven't posted for a long time! Things have been kind of crazy around here. Yesterday I was 36 Weeks along. 1 more month to go! I cannot believe it! It has been a wonderful journey so far. Having this life inside of you is just unbelievable. We are soo blessed! Next week I will be full term and should pop any ol time. I am getting pretty nervous/scared about the whole thing. I just don't know what to expect and when to expect it. I just can't wait until all of that is over with and I can see my husband with his daughter. That's what I am looking forward to most!!

We have been working on Samantha's room. Its going kinda slow. Seth is working on the trim. My mom and best friend helped paint her room. It's a light yellow color. It looks so cute! Hopefully next week we'll be getting the carpet for her room and the living room. Can't wait to say good-bye to this nasty, green carpet. Here are some pics of it so far.




September 5th was my baby shower! I had SUCH a blast! It was a wonderful day! My Mom (mother in-law) and best friend, Amanda, threw us the shower. They did such an amazing job! It was a coed party. So everyone and their husbands/boyfriends was there. We played a few games. The guys got to play their own game, Diapering the baby, which was a BLAST to watch. We also played the toilet paper game, bingo and the piggy bank game. There was awesome food! The cake was sooo cute! Mom and Amanda made this AWESOME diaper cake! We got a lot of wonderful gifts! It was just a great day!

27 Weeks/3rd Trimester

I just realized a few minutes ago that I'm in the 3rd tri. It has gone by soo fast!! Now it's time to be uncomfortable 24/7, sleepy, cranky. And so on and so on. But it just means that I'm getting closer and closer of holding our little girl. I keep getting bigger and bigger! When does it stop? lol.
These next few months are going to be the busiest we have ever been!!
I booked our maternity pictures for August 22nd. I'm very excited for those. Hope they turn out real nice. Seth and I have a preparation for labor class at Mercy August 4th and 11th. You know Seth is soooo excited! lol.. Not!
We still need to work on the nursery. Seth is Mr. Procrastinator! Hopefully we'll have that done asap. My baby shower is September 5th. Which I'm wayyyyyy excited for. Can't wait to see all my friends and family in one place. Well.. and of course get all the baby goodies! We have a vacation coming up in September also. The whole family is going to Wisconsin dells. Which should be a great time!
So.. that's that. But I'm sure there's more to come.

3D Ultrasound

Last night (7-13-09) we went for our 3D ultrasound. It was the most amazing thing I have ever experienced! To actually see her moving around in my belly. And yes, she's definitely a girl! We got a lot of great pictures of her. But she loved hugging on mommy so we couldn't get a full face shot. We got to see her sucking on her lips, sucking her thumb. They gave us a video of her also. I cry every time I watch it. It's just incredible! She didn't have a whole lot of fat on her so I would love to do another one!! lol. But I don't think Seth will allow that!
Here are some pictures of our little girl

25 Weeks and Our 2 Year Anniversary!

Today I am 25 weeks along. 15 more weeks to go! I just can't believe it! I had a doctors appointment last Friday the 26th. Everything was perfect! My doc couldn't get a steady heartbeat of Samantha because the little rascal wouldn't stay still! You could hear her moving around with the Doppler they use.. it was pretty cool. Her heartbeat was 152. My next appointment is Monday, July 27th. I'll be about 29 weeks along then. She has me scheduled for the glucose test, which I'm not looking forward to. I have to go to the lab before my appointment and drink this (I hear it's pretty nasty) orange sugar drink then go to my regular doctors appointment and wait an hour then they take my blood. I hope it goes okay!
Our 2 year anniversary is today!! I got Seth and nice outfit. Jeans, T-shirt (which says "trophy husband") and a nice button up shirt. I'm planning on making him a nice, romantic dinner tonight. Just can't believe it has been 2 years! It's just crazy how everything works out in life. I have known Seth for like 8-9 years. I would have never thought that I'd be married to him and having his baby!! He's the most wonderful man in my life and he will be an even more wonderful father!!

22 Weeks

Well.. I'm at 22 weeks. My belly has really popped and you can tell I'm pregnant now. My belly button is slowly disappearing. But I love everything about this pregnancy right now. I have been getting heartburn though. Which I never really have had heartburn before. So tums are my new best friend.
Seth bought me/Samantha a CD player and Beethoven, Mozart and Chopin Cd's. I put the headphones on my belly so Samantha can listen to this wonderful music. I've always loved Mozart. I believe she really likes it as well. While the music is playing I feel her moving around and kicking, I think she's dancing around in there. lol.
I bought Samantha's bedding set the other day. It's not really the one I wanted to get but Seth saw it while we were looking at walmart's site and he really loved it. So I couldn't say no to him and make him feel bad. I just can't wait until it comes in so I can see it in person. I bought it at walmart.com. It was about $69.. every where else I have found the set it's $85. So I think I got a good deal. The set comes with comforter, sheets, ruffle and bumper pads. Can't wait to get started on her room. I'm still looking at cribs. I'm kinda overwhelmed on what to get. So many options. I'm sure I'll find one soon.
