35 weeks & 1 day...

I had my 34 week appointment on Monday the 18th and everything was well! We did not not get many updates since they really did not do anything besides listen to the heartbeat which is always a joy/ relief to hear. We really just talked about my next appointment coming up and what all they will be doing at it. My next appointment is May 2 and that starts me going every week until the big day! I am hoping that when she does the exam on May 2 that maybe I will be showing signs of going into labor. A girl can dream, right? This week has been pretty hard on me. I really have had a great pregnancy besides the sickness and such in the beginning. But, this week I can truly say I was 100% miserable everyday! Anyone who knows me knows I am always cheerful and very rarely not in a good mood. But almost everyday last week I really was being a grouch and did not really feel like talking to anyone, which is also very unlike me. Needless to say I was welcoming the weekend with open arms times twenty! I have been in a much better mood this weekend thank goodness. I am hoping I am not so miserable this week because it makes me so sad and frustrated when I am not cheerful! Luckily I got a lot done this weekend and so it made me feel much better about going into this week. Everything that needed to be washed is done, for now at least! Everything is hung in the nursery with the exception of the shelves, which will be done after next weekend. All of Mary-Ross's clothes are hung that needed to be hung besides a small stack because I ran out of hangers for the third time now! This is no lie by the way! Good thing the closet in the nursery is extremely large so I am able to hang up everything that needs to be hung! That's all the at-home/pregnancy updates for now!


I wanted to say a BIG thanks to all of our wonderful friends who helped host our Troy baby shower. It was a great turn out and so much fun! My generous in-laws allowed us to use there home for the shower and also helped out so much! We are so thankful to be surrounded with such great people. Here are a few of my favorite photos from the shower.

This group of girls were my best friends while I was at Troy and are still my best friends now. I love them so much!

This is us with all of the hosts/hostesses of the baby shower!

Justin & I


A little update on Justin and the CPA Exam. He still has not heard back from the last part he took but hopefully we will hear something within the next few weeks. He is studying for the next part right now and is planning on taking it sometime before Mary-Ross gets here. He will probably schedule it after our next Doctor's visit once we get a little more insight on the time frame of her arrival.


We got back our maternity pictures from our session with Catherine Mayo and she did a wonderful job, just like I knew she would. I first meet Catherine through the Sawyer family who I nanny for. They use her for all of there family pictures and birthday parties! She always did a wonderful job. Then her son was in Will Sawyer's mother's day out class so we got to know each other a little better seeing each other all the time. She also took Jason & Emily Fill's maternity pictures and little Hudson's newborn pictures and did a wonderful job. So I knew she was just what I wanted when I decided to book my maternity pictures. Here are my favorites!

This is everything for now but I know I will have more updates soon! Justin is going out of town for the weekend on a Bachelor party so I will have a lot of blogging time on my hands! Till next time...
