1st Baby Shower

We had our first baby shower/diaper party this past weekend. We are so blessed to have such great friends! The Frerich's fam hosted along with the help of Laura, Ashley and Carrie. We got lots of goodies and had a blast! We definitely have a REALLY good start on diapers too which is a HUGE help!

Here are a few pictures...

Things have been going great...since the last post I've had my 28 week appointment and he was measuring just right and I am doing good. Gestational diabetes test was passed...woohoo!! He's started curling up in my ribs when I sleep which is not enjoyable...normally half way through the night I have to prop myself up so he doesn't settle up there :)

The nursery is coming right along. The bedding is done and looks fantastic. We have a few finishing touches (including the dresser my dad is making for him) to complete and we'll be set. People keep telling me I need to start packing my bags and that scares me! I will get to it soon I am sure:)

Last night we could feel his toes (or what we think were toes)...Aaron would press against them and he'd push back. We can't wait to see what they really look like!

Welcome Third Trimester

We've made it to the 3rd trimester! Only 12 weeks left now. People keep talking about buying Christmas gifts and we are realizing we will have a baby around that time...hopefully, as long as he's not late :)

I've been feeling good...it's been an adjustment to learn how to tie my shoes, not be able to paint my toenails on my own, and just breath in general but I can't complain:) I keep reminding myself I am growing a human being and if I don't feel "great" it's because there's a lot of action going on in there!!

We attended our 2nd prental class...Infant CPR. We thought it might be a waste because you watched a DVD that they ended up giving you but it was informative and was definitely information we did not know.

The crib is up! Aaron and my dad spent the evening putting it together a few weekends ago. I absolutely love it! it went much smoother than had Aaron and I done it ourselves! We just got the mattress in last night. This weekend I am devoting some time to baby room projects too :)

Next week I go for my gestational diabetes test and 28 week appointment. Next appointment is the 32 week sonogram then we start going bi-weekly, then weekly. It's so real now knowing that all of our appointments are scheduled! He's definitely a lot more active and Aaron has been able to feel him quite a bit. You can definitely feel body parts but we're still not sure what is what! I'm sure before long it will be distinguishable.....

Here's a 28 week picture...I didn't realize how big I had gotten until I went back to compare. No wonder it's hard to tie my shoes these days:) It will all be worth it though!
