The Home Stretch (literally)

****Updated picture posted below****

Tomorrow marks the beginning of my 3rd trimester. I am feeling really good, just wanting the summer to be over so she will be here :) I never thought I would wish for my favorite time of year to be done! I am getting bigger by the day and now have an "outie". I will post a 28 week picture below this weekend once we get home.

Over the last couple of weeks we have been getting the room ready for her. We had it painted a light green and the furniture should be delivered next week. Making progress, although it seems so slow. Everyone says it will come fast enough :) I can't wait until it is all together.

Mike and I are going to San Antonio tomorrow for a few day get away, hopefully we will have nice weather. Either way I am looking forward to some R&R with my husband. Mike has never been there since he grew up in CA, so we are looking forward to exploring the beautiful Texas Hill country.

I had a doctors visit today for my glucose screen and got my RH- shot. I got a lecture on not eating sweets because I gained 6 lbs in the last 3 weeks :) Little Miss Z has had quite a growth spurt and is kicking and moving a lot, I love feeling her move. I can't help it if she loves sugar, right?? My Mom gave me her secret to wonderful chocolate chip cookies and I have enjoyed eating a few of them lately. Now I start going every 2 weeks to the doctor, I am excited because it will make the last part go faster. We also have an ultrasound next week, very exciting. I will keep you posted. Thanks for your continued prayers for our family.

Weekend with Mom

My Mom and I had a productive and fun time when she came to visit us this weekend! We went to Canton, did some decorating around the house here and Mike finally won at Scrabble!

Canton was an experience! I had never been before, luckily Mom had and was well prepared for the visor wearing, bedazzled, crazy crowd. We shopped until we dropped, picking up some great things for the baby. One of the must haves at canton is a cart to put all your purchases in and we got one right away, fitting in with the crowds and allowing us to load up on cute baby gear! Hear is a picture of our canton cart!


Thanks for everything this weekend, Mom! I am so blessed to have you as a friend and Mom and your artistic eye to help me decorate!
