Baby Shower and Belly Shots

This weekend I had my 3rd and last baby shower. It was given by my mom and sisters. We ate yummy sandwiches and had some great desserts. It was fun to celebrate with family and my new friends in Texas. We had the shower at my house because of its central location. I now need to sit down and figure out what "must haves" I still need. Here are some pictures:

I also had Jesse take some new pics of me. I am 33 weeks, 3 days today and little less swollen! I also gave you a frontal shot for your viewing pleasure =).

Swollen Ankles = Swollen Face???

Well, I had Jesse take some pictures tonight so I could update my belly shots. I could not believe how swollen my face was!! I asked him if I really looked like that in person and he said all the right things you say to a pregnant wife. I just cried. My feet have been swelling so bad and my shoes are starting not to fit anymore. My principal ok'd flip-flops...Thank God! Today I could push on my ankle and actually leave a indent! Crazy! My wedding ring doesn't fit anymore either =(. I had a wonderful shower at my school last week. My teammates even broke out the chocolate fondue...yum! I got some awesome gifts and had a great time. I promise to update some pics when my face looks less swollen.

3rd Trimester

Wow! Time is sure flying. I have now officially entered my 3rd trimester. Along with that has come exhaustion, swollen ankles, and spider veins (yuck!). But the baby continues to grow and get stronger everyday. We have signed up for many prenatal classes; Breastfeeding, Infant Care, Infant Safety and CPR, and the Birthing Process. We also signed Gabrielle up for a sibling class. I am super excited! I will also start going to the doctor every two weeks. The nursery is coming along and we just need to decorate the walls. I will add pictures soon! Here is a picture of me at 28 weeks, 3 days.

Ultrasound

I had another ultrasound today to get the rest of the pictures of the heart they still needed. I thought that it would be a quick one, but the tech went through and looked at everything again. The baby is measuring right on schedule and weighs 2 pounds already! We got some great pictures of her face and she is already getting chubby cheeks. It is amazing how much they change each time. We are getting so excited to meet her (they said she was still a girl for sure)!

Rochester Baby Shower

This week we traveled home to Rochester, MN. On Sunday, we had a baby shower at my parents' house. We did an afternoon party with lots of yummy desserts. It was so great to celebrate such a special occasion with friends and family. Of course, our little girl was completely spoiled and got many wonderful gifts. I am home today washing new clothes and putting everything away. So much fun!!
