Maternity Photos

31 week photo

Here is the photo from yesterday. Officially 31 weeks pregnant with our little girl. I hope time continues to go quickly I can't wait for her to be here. 

On a side note, I am feeling HUGE everywhere and would love to be able to get my body back lol. I miss being able to walk etc without being short of breath. But hey it's all worth it! Let's go December!!

We also got maternity photos done yesterday, we should get previews on Tuesday, I hope I don't look like a cow!

31 weeks tomorrow :)

It's been a while but nothing to crazy new on the horizon. As of tomorrow we are down to single digit weeks left of pregnancy! It's so crazy to think in 9 weeks Reese will make her grand entrance into this world!

C and I bought Reese's crib and changing table. C surprised me with putting it all together while I was at work! It looks great. So now the nursery is pretty much finished aside from a few decorations I still need to hang etc. The bedding set on the crib now was a clearance buy and we will be using it as a spare once we get our pottery barn set.

We are pretty much ready for Reese to come whenever she is ready, although I want her to cook until at least 37 weeks! Plus we are still waiting for our baby shower, the date is a surprise for me... which seems odd. I sound like a brat I guess... but it's annoying for me not to know because my wife knows. I mean let's face it, I am pregnant... a shower has been talked about since the beginning. But whatever floats their boats (and by their I mean my mom, sister, and wife). Any way all of the registry items aren't necessarily essential but I am excited to see what we actually get!

Here are items that we already have:

The swings, bumbo, high chair, and basically everything in the pictures we got second hand (barely used) :)

The stroller we bought, and I am obsessed with, can't wait to use it!

The two boxes aren't diapers... they are all 18months - 2T clothes from a friend!

Good news.... I passed my glucose tolerance test! No gestational diabetes for me! I was soooo nervous I wouldn't pass! And that damn drink tasted like orange ACID! They also double checked my blood type, which is O negative. So I will need Rhogam. I see my mid-wife this Tuesday (the first of many two week visits I suppose). I'm still stable on the beta blocker and potassium supplements... thank goodness! Here is the 28 week picture (we have been slacking):

All is still well with Reese! I am getting more stretch marks despite the bio oil... which sucks but oh well. I just hope my maternity pictures still turn out nice (October 4th). We went and got a 3D/4D ultrasound today to get a nice view of little miss Reese :). Here are the pictures from today:
