We are getting closer and closer to meeting our baby girl!
This post is kind of an update on what has been going on from 28 weeks until now. We have been busy! My Birthday was the 18th. My sister was in town and we all went to dinner. It was pretty low key which I was completely fine with. I was experiencing some pressure that day and was a little uncomfortable. The 19th was our baby shower! Ill include a few pictures. Everything turned out so beautifully. I love the theme we have decided to go with. “Dreams do come true”. Week 28 was rough. I have been struggling with energy and now that she is getting bigger I am feeling more pressure. Some nights it literally felt like I was sitting on her head! I had my doctors appointment the 21st and it was sort of my wake up call with weight gain. My doctor said that she wants me to only gain 5 more lbs this entire pregnancy. I have almost gained 30 already!!! YIKES. So after that appointment I have been walking everyday on my treadmill for 25 minutes and have been making healthier choices. For real this time! I am hoping by doing that ill maybe loose some weight before delivery.
29 weeks update-
Holy cow this baby is ACTIVE! I know in previous posts I mentioned that she moves all around when I take a bath and at night. Now its all the time! I was laying on my side last night and could feel her moving around and I put my hand under my belly and felt a little high five from her! It was the coolest thing. My husband actually got to feel it also and said OMG that’s her hand! We have even at times felt her little heels. She wakes me up in the morning now with her little kicks.
My husband and I have still been nesting like crazy! We have made a lot of changes to our house. The new furniture came in and we have updated the paint in a few rooms. After the shower my husband was really excited so we have the pack and play, swing, and rock and play all put together and in place lol. I have been organizing all the closets in our house still and putting everything away in the nursery.
We have another 4D ultrasound on Monday and we are so excited to see what she is up to in there and what she looks like!
We have been talking about her approaching due date and we think that she probably wont wait until February. But what ever she decides we will be ready! I am very excited about birth! Soon ill be making my birth affirmations to hang around the house and making a list of things I will need to bring to the hospital. We are still hoping for a natural birth. If any of you ladies have any suggestions on what needs to be included in the hospital bag please comment them below! ❤
(will add an updated bump picture to this a little later)
