Dr. Appt Today

At our appointment today we got to see Aiden again :) I love watching him. But, the ultrasounds are getting much less interesting, he can't move as much cause he is packed in there (I don't realize how tightly he is packed until I see it sometimes), and you can only fit very small parts of his body on the screen, so, they are getting harder to make out. Not to mention his head dropped way below my hip bones so we couldn't even get a good picture of his face this time, no profile picture at all :( So, all that was to say, we have ultrasound pictures but, they aren't very good. But the good, and scary news is...he weighs 6 lbs!! And the entire time he was practicing breathing, the tech was very impressed with him. Don't all parents think their kid is advanced? haha

5 WEEKS AND 3 DAYS!!!!!

34 Weeks!!

34 weeks brings exhaustion. Swollen feet. the waddle. I'm so happy to be in this place, even with all the "conditions" that accompany it. Well, it's offical, this last week he DROPPED. Now I feel as if there is a watermelon between my legs at all times (TMI?) which accounts for the new waddle I've picked up and the ever-present groan I let out every time I go from sitting to standing. Dr. said I am not dialating yet so, Aiden's debut will not be this week :( Sleep is not very possible as muscles are aching in the front, bones are aching in the back, my hips hurting because they are so loose, and the bladder, well...Aiden has let her know that there ain't enough room in this town for the both of them.

Funny story, I went to see my regular OB this week. I had been running errands all day and was wearing jeans...it was SO hot. I put my legs up in the stirrups and literally, at the same time, Zach and I said, "Holy Shit!". My feet looked like water balloons, and each little toe an individually tightly packed sausage. haha, I am trying to drink more water and kick my feet up (but there is SOOO much to do and I feel like I am running out of time!)

Zach is on belly button watch. He is constantly checking to see if it has turned inside out. It still has a way to go. I don't think it will. It's pretty close to flattening out, but, I'm not counting on seeing an outtie :)

ONLY 6 MORE WEEKS!!!!!!!!

Our Wedding Day!

We have officially set our wedding day!!!!!!!!! We are so excited! It is July 3rd, 2010! Our exact 4 year anniversary!

i am now officially 33 weeks pregnant and still feel good. the days definitely get tougher and i get a lot more aches and pains as the days go on. nothing that is out of the ordinary though. i can tell i am carrying around some extra weight because the bottoms of my feel get very very sore. luckily zach rubs them at night for me! aiden is doing great. he is moving constantly and his little feet are always kicking me. it is still so strange to see his little body move around in my belly.

can't wait to see him!!!!
ONLY 7 MORE WEEKS!!!
Thank you Zach , mom, dad, natalie, and nanette! I love you gouys sooo much. thank you for stiking bye me this whole time and supporting me through even when i made mistakes. I love you!
