Hubby is off all this week, well not off but he'll be home all week for some training he has to do online. Right now we're just in the process of trying to get the house ready for the baby and for all the guests we're going to be having :) ... we bought a carpet scrubber yesterday on sale at big lots so now we'll be able to clean the carpets any time we need to; which is a BIG must with our two fur babies! AND today I finally got my door bell!! haha such a little thing to be excited about BUT I am! :D I have a doctors appointment tomorrow with the NP since my doctor is on vacation until Friday; fingers crossed she doesn't come while my doctor is gone! lol She has a replacement doctor for her but who wants to see some random doctor who you've never met before? not this girl! lol .. best part about the next week is that I get massages from hubby so we can "practice" our breathing techniques like the birthing instructor suggested ;) hehe.. Not too much longer! and I can't wait to be able to sleep in whatever position I want!

ESP in this heat! I dont know if it's because of the heat or because I'm pregnant but I feel like I've been having hot flashes lol... If you know me then you know that I hate to turn the AC down and I've been giving in and turning it down! that's how hot I've been! lol... But anywho!!

almost have her nursery completely finished!! still have a few things here and there I wanna get and hang up.  Target has these super cute butterfly things I want to hang up so I think we'll get those and hang them up soon. Have our diaper bag ready to go along with the boppy pillow and I've started my hospital bag so we're getting there.  We're just so ready for her to be here already! :)

We had another ultra sound last Wednesday because the doctor said I was measuring small.  She measured at 4lbs and 10oz!! So the technician actually said our due date is now August 6th based on her weight but we're still sticking with August 2 :) ... It's been August 2nd this whole time and at our week 20 ultra sound she was measuring perfect for Aug 2nd; SO... therefore we say she's a small baby and Aug 2nd it is lol :)... her heart rate was 163 nice and strong! She looks so much like Jerry already it's unbelievable what these 4D ultra sounds can show!  We're guessing she'll have a lot of dark hair with blue eyes just like her mommy and daddy! CANT WAIT!!

39 DAYS LEFT!!

Baby Shower! & Week 33


Last weekend we went home to Ohio for our baby shower and our friends wedding :) It was SO nice to see all of our family and friends that we haven't been able to see in a very long time!  We hadn't been home since February, it was such a great weekend!  The shower was amazing! My mom, grandma and sister did such a great job putting it all together! :) We appreciate everything that they did and have done for us during this time.  We got so many great gifts and are SO thankful to have all of our family and friends support.  The food was great! And the cake was SUPER cute!! We did a ducky theme because that's what I requested after finding this "ducky" punch recipe off of good ol' Pinterest :). My mom and grandma were worried it wouldn't turn out good but everyone LOVED it; I'm so happy they did! :)

IT'S A GIRL! :)

We got back from Ohio on Monday and I have been trying my best to get organized and get all these gifts put away.  After two days of non-stop laundry I've finally got all of her clothes washed and put away.  Hubby and I spent most of this past weekend going out and buying some of the few things we didn't get that we wanted and now all we have left to do is to finish putting all the bigger things together :) .. Most likely we'll do it today since it's father's day we're just sitting around relaxing for the day.  It's also our little fur baby's birthday today so we took the pups to the dog park this morning so they'll be passed out for the majority of today.  We love lazy Sunday's! lol   

Only 45 days to go!! :D
