34 Weeks

Here are a couple of pics taken last night. And the video is a MUST SEE! This morning while watching Regis and Kelly I figured that I should probably record the craziness that Avery puts his Mommy through ALL DAY, EVERYDAY! Watch closely...between the heavy breathing you can see him making some major waves in my belly.

Enjoy!

Dinner....Big Gurl Style!

Man, I so cant wait to not be pregnant anymore. Maybe then I wont think its okay to have chicken nuggets and a cookies & cream milkshake from Chick fil a for dinner.







Oh sick! I just looked up the nutritional facts and my little meal consisted of 1050 calories and 46 grams of fat! But it did have 44 grams of protein so that is how I will justify it. I must eat protein...Dr's orders!! ;)

Maternity Pics

My sister Juli came by on Saturday morning and took some maternity pics. She did an AMAZING job!

Nursery Pics...

We are just about finished with the nursery. I still need to hang the letters that spell "AVERY" over his crib. I painted them myself and it has taken longer than I thought it would. I also need to hang his vintage firetruck mobile over his crib. Oh and we might get a bookcase too. And maybe one of those cute quote thingies to put on the wall by the rocker.

Here is where we are at currently...

Bama Pics

Today Michael had the day off and so we lounged around for awhile then he left to run errands. When he left Bama got soo sad. They are pretty much obsessed with eachother and Bama doesnt quite know what to do without him. She finally fell asleep staring at the front door. =(

I was bored so I took some pics of this poor little pup...


This is right after she saw him drive away.


Bama is waiting and Sophie is checking out the window for her.


Bama thinks she hears him...but she didnt.

33 weeks preggo...

So today I am 33 weeks preggo.... I dont even know what to think about that. Ever since I started going to the OB every 2 weeks I have started having the worst anxiety about my delivery. Since nothing fun or exciting has been going on at these appts I havent asked Michael to go with me but I think he needs to start going just to hold me up when I start getting weak at my knees. I am usually fine until I pull into the parking lot and that's when I break out in a cold sweat. But I take a few deep breaths and head in. Once I get all signed in and I am sitting in the waiting room I start feeling like I could A.)throw up, B.) pass out, C.) take a big poo, or D.) all of the above. I usually try to get there within minutes of my appt in hopes to minimize my wait which means less anxiety. I sit there trying not to think about an 8.5 lb (a guesstimate from my OB) baby ripping me open in one way or another. But its all I can do to hold back my tears and not get up and run screaming out of that place.

I am soooo excited to meet my little guy and thats usually what I try to stay busy focusing on. But its when I slow down for 2 seconds that I freak the eff out. It also doesnt help that strangers make comments on how big my belly is on a daily basis. Today I even started lying about my due date to strangers. I say "next month" which may very well happen but it would be the very last days of "next month" when these strangers are thinking like a few weeks from now. I just get tired of the look people give me when I say December. It seems so far away but its definitely not.

**Dr. Update**- Avery's heart was going strong at 142 and she estimates him at being 4.5 lbs, 17 inches already. I gained more weight (shocker I know...haha) but the Dr said I am right on track. I measured right on time so BOOYA to all those nosey strangers. We start our birthing class this Sunday. I am nervous/excited about it! Oh and I have to remember to schedule appts so I can meet with the Dr's that I dont know in my Dr's practice. Since I am delivering vaginally I could possibly have someone other than my Dr. deliver Avery. I am fine with that though. I know 2 of the Dr's really good and then between my mom and sisters I know what to expect from the other Dr's as well. They are all great so it doesnt really worry me too much.

I will post a pic of my belly later tonight. Oh and I will post a nursery update as well.

Check out my bedding...

I LOVE my new bedding! Its so pretty AND comfy!


Oh and here is a 31 week belly pic:

(the bedding color should look like it does inthe first pic.)

Avery's Baby Shower

Let me just say...Avery is one lucky little boy. My sisters & Mom threw me the best baby shower yesterday!! We had brunch at Blue Mesa and ALL of my best friends were there. It was so nice to spend time with everyone. My cousins and aunt Cindy were able to come in town for the shower which was so nice too. Avery has so many people who are waiting on pins and needles for his arrival. Not only will he have 4 real aunts, he will also have about 10 aunts by friendship. I got TONS of great gifts and the food was delicious! (Also, I heard the mimosa's were pretty tasty as well.) Everything was perfect. I really appreciate my mom and sisters for working so hard on making everything amazing. After the shower we headed over to my house to get the crib in the nursery. Sonia, Leigh Ann, Amy, and my Mama got that baby taken apart, moved into the nursery, and put back up in no time. This morning I sat on the rocker in the Avery's room and couldn't quit smiling. I can't believe how awesome everything has turned out lately. My life is EXACTLY how I want it and I wouldnt change a single thing. Now, I just cant wait to hold my baby boy. =)

Here are a couple of pics from the shower...

The cake was yummy and the diaper cake was ADORABLE!!


This is a pic of some of my friends who were there. *I wish we wouldve gotten a group pic of EVERYONE though.*


And a pic of me and Baby Kailey. She is sooo excited about Baby Avery.
