34 weeks, 4 days-Baby Shower and Doctor's Appointment!

34 weeks?! What?! How did that happen??? lol! I can't believe it! Just 6 more weeks until we meet our sweet baby girl :) 

Yesterday was our baby shower, thrown by my mom, sisters, mother in law, and sister in law :) We had SO much fun!! We were SO blessed to be able to spend the day with so many of our family and friends! I can't thank everyone enough for coming to spend the afternoon with us :) Little Miss Ryleigh is a very lucky and loved little girl! Thank you thank you thank you all for coming! I wish I could have spent more time with each person, but the day seemed to fly by!

Afterwards my feet were SO swollen, so my sweet husband filled my foot bath up with warm water so that I could soak them...it felt AMAZING! My body has really started to swell a lot and I'm getting pretty uncomfy. 










Today I had a doctor's appointment. Lots of info! First, I haven't gained any weight since my last appointment (whoo hoo!). She check her position andddddd Ryleigh is head down! (She also said that it's rare that they turn back around at this point, so she should stay this way.) She also said that if I have contractions over the next week and a half, I need to drink water and change my activity. If they continue, I need to call them. Buttttt, once I hit 36 weeks, if I go into labor..they won't stop it! I was a little surprised! I can't believe we are 1.5-6 weeks away from meeting her!! My next appointment is in 2 weeks, when I'll be 36 weeks. Then I start going weekly. (Whattttttt?!) This train ain't stoppin'! lol

Our house is progressing at a good rate! We went to our walk through, where they went over each room with us and made sure everything was correct up to this point. We went to show some family a few days later and they were working on the drywall! I couldn't believe how much more "done" it looks with walls! The builder says we are still looking at May 12 for closing, so hopefully Ryleigh will stay put until then!

30 weeks, 5 days-Doctor Appointment

Another doctor appointment today! Nothing new, they measured my belly (normal) and she checked Ryleigh's heartbeat (130-140s.) Cutest thing happened..she kicked when the doc was checking her heartbeat! :) Cutest little thud I've ever heard!! The doc also felt around on my tummy to see if she was head down, but she is sideways apparently lol

We picked up the crib! Now we just need our house done so that it can be put together ;) We went to pick it up in the Suburban..biggest SUV like, ever. Seriously like a bus. It still wasn't big enough! 

 
We ended up driving with one of the back doors completely open hahaha


We've also ordered/paid for her dressers :) Next I'll be ordering her bedding! Whoo hoo! Only 9.5 weeks to go!


How far along: 30 weeks, 5 days.

Total weight gain: About 21 lbs. (ahh..)

Maternity clothes: Pants for sure. I wear tops that are bigger than I wore pre-pregnancy because I don't like any of the "maternity" tops I see.

Stretch marks: Still rubbin' coca butter on my tummy/hips everyday! 

Sleep: Yeah right..I'm getting bigger and more uncomfortable everyday.

Best moment of this week: watching Ryleigh move around in my tummy :)
