32 weeks and counting!!

I had my 32 week check up yesterday. Dr. Williams said Addison weighs a bit over 4lbs now. It looks like she is right in line with where she should be fore 32 weeks. According to my 20 week ultrasound that I saw, when they measured her head, my due date was June 22nd +/- 12 days. When they measured her femur her due date was June 15th +/- 12 days. So, basically any time in the month of June she could be here =D We will be ready whenever she decides to make her debut!!! I go back to the dr. May 12th for another tummy check then I will go the 23rd for my 36 week check where he'll check me for dilation and also do my final ultrasound. I will let everyone know how that goes!!

Baby Party

We had a wonderful baby party on Sunday. Many of our close friends were there and it was wonderful seeing some that we have not seen in a while and catching up.

Here are some of the pictures of the gifts we got. Pictures and video of the shower itself are on the way.





















Nursery Update




On Saturday mom and dad came up to help us get ready for the shower on Sunday. While mom and I were baking, Zack and dad worked in the nursery and got the chair rail put up and the crib put together. Here are some recent pics.

Nursery update!

So tonight when I got home i decided to go ahead and do the first coat of the bottom color for the nursery and put the last coat on the trim. The bottom color is a bit darker than I had expected but it'll due. The top color is a very light pink (looks white in the picture) but once everything is all together I think it will look pretty good.

30 week doctors apt

Well, I went to the dr yesterday for my 30 week check up. I have only gained another half pound so i'm at 18.5 total for the almost 8 months (YAY). I do not have gestational diabetes!!!!! (doing the happy dance) only one of my numbers was elevated and it was only by 3 points and 2 numbers have to be elevated for you to have GD. He said that I still needed to watch my intake of biscuits, breads, french fries, ice cream and cake. He said Addison isn't too big now for her age. It seems that her growing has slowed a bit so she is catching up to where she should be. That is good news as well. I go back in 2 weeks and have an ultrasound in 6. So far so good.

We finally got all of the wallpaper off the walls in the nursery. Its almost done. I have to put a second coat of brown on the trim and Zack has a few big areas left to paint and then we have to put the chair rail on the wall and we're all done. It will be great to have that behind us weeks before she is born.
Here are some nursery pictures from after we finally got all of th wallpaper off the wall before the primer and new paint.




The long awaited pregnancy pictures!!






I had Zack take some pictures yesterday so here is my belly (and Addison) at 30 weeks! (Love the stretch marks)
