Quick Update from Monday's Appt:

I met with my doctor on Monday for my 36 week appointment. She checked me out and I am not dilated at all, but just starting to thin. Baby appears to be head down, so hopefully she stays that way! My pelvis had been feeling better up until the latter part of today, but I'm sure that is due to my busy work day today. Just knowing that the pelvis pain is a normal feeling makes me feel better about it! I just move a bit slower and know when I need to take a break.

I guess our next step is to work on getting our hospital bag packed, but other than that we are READY FOR BABY!

I will go in again next Monday for another appointment. I think these last few weeks will go by fast with the anticipation for the big day!

We can't wait to share the news with everyone when she makes her appearance!

Sorry I've been absent!

I have definitely been experiencing more discomfort with the pregnancy this past week. The worst pregnancy symptom I've had so far...pelvic/hip/groin pain = ouch! Apparently this is normal (from discussions with moms I've spoke with). This is just a symptom of my pelvis ligaments "relaxing" to allow for baby to eventually pass through. So this will hopefully lead to an easy labor...right? :) (I can only hope!) But I will discuss this with my doctor on Monday at my 36 week check up. Work is becoming more difficult because of this, but my coworkers have been great about limiting the amount of steps I need to take! Just don't laugh at me if you see me out walking...I know I probably look funny right now!

I had a day of garage sale shopping a week ago and found a few really good buys, including a fisher price aquarium baby swing for just $10! It renewed my liking for garage sales!

I am sooooooo looking forward to getting pedicures tomorrow with my mom and sister. I'm also hoping to get a pregnancy massage sometime really soon (which was recommended as a "must have" from my former neighbor Beth).

Father's day is Sunday, so hopefully my dad will feel up to doing something like a BBQ or something fun in the sun! Hopefully the weather stays nice for the weekend...I really need to get out in the sunshine more!


I hope everyone has a great weekend. I'll probably update again after my appointment on Monday with my doctor!

8 Months!

I'm impressed again at how much I (or should I say baby) have grown in the last month! I just posted the 8th month picture and I'm in awe at the change to my body since the beginning!

Last night we attended Kyle and Kallie's wedding in Roseville and got some snapshots of some other pregnant friends: Jen Eystad and Lindsey Schantzen. Jen is due in October and Lindsey is due in August.





It was a beautiful reception, but my aching back and swollen feet were starting to get to me after working all day. I was able to stick it out until around 11:00 when I decided we had to go (waaaaaay past my bedtime) :)
