36 weeks

At this weeks doctor appointment we saw baby on the ultrasound (head down now), listened to her heart rate (strong) and measured for contractions (none).  

 After the doctor we went to a baby shower our friends threw for us and other couple from work.  There was so much delicious food and cute decorations:

Diaper cake

Animal themed cupcakes

Next week we will be officially full term!

35 weeks

35 weeks marks the 35 day countdown.  I think she has dropped a little, though it is still hard to breathe at times.  At almost every appointment baby girl has been breech, we will see this weekend if she has flipped.  For a long time I could tell which way she was and now I can't - it's just a big ball of kicks, punches and stretching in there.

We got a washer installed (our own laundry we take out and have done for us) and have now washed all little one's clothes and blankets.  In the last load were socks, aren't they cute hanging to dry?

As an added bonus - this is what I see on my side of our weekly photo shoot:

Until next week...

Feeling big.  I know, I know, I'm going to get bigger!  She can grow up to an inch this week... just this week!  She's also supposed to gain 1/2 lb each week for a few weeks now.  Whew, no wonder I'm tired!  I've read she might drop down a little this month, which be a relief to my lungs that I'm pretty sure she's using as a pillow.  She's gotten the hiccups a number of times now, and Saturday night I think she was having her own personal dance party.

I'm happy for her to bake away in there for the next 7 weeks, but boy are we excited for her to come!
