33 Weeks

Lots of exciting things going on in the past few weeks. The nursery is done with the except of the rocking chair, the 19" flat screen and a few decorations. They have been ordered and should be in shortly. We are so happy with how it turned out. Craig really did put tons of work into the entire upstairs. I love it! I wish I could roll my bed in there and go night night.

Matt and Ambers wedding is next Saturday, wow time flys. Craigs brother and family get in tomorrow. It will be nice to spend time with them over the next week, then non stop festivities starting thursday. It's going to be a blast, I just hope Cody and I can keep up.
I am starting to slow down quite a bit. My feet and ankles are starting to swell with certain foods and walking up even a flight of stairs winds me. It's funny, I can still do 25 minutes on the eliptical, but 1 flight of stairs and I'm out of breath. The heartburn it everyday but I'm still sleeping quite comfortably with the help of my best friend the body pillow. I would die without it, it is a prego's greatest asset.

Had an ultrasound today and the nurse said Cody weighs about 4lbs 6oz. Let me tell you, it feels like he is at least 8lbs in there. His kicks are packing quite a punch, they actually hurt. She said that was normal and it will only get worse. YIKES. I feel like an umpa lumpa, but cuter of course:)

31 Weeks

This past weekend I was home in Mass for my babyshower and it was wonderful. My mom, Melissa and Vicky did a awesome job. They had all my favorite foods and I got tons of goodies for my little man. The unfortunate part was that I got the stomach flu the night before and was sick as a dog. Even with the sickness it was a really nice day. I got to see and spend time with most everybody. I saw my family on many different occasions and of course my girls. Happily, I didn't feel rushed on this trip, it was great but of course too short.

Hopefully we will have Cody's room completed this weekend. Craig is going to finish the closet and then on to the task of decorationg. I have all the bedding ready to be set up as well a few decorations. I can't wait to wash all the little outfits he got and start organizing them. I think this is called the "nesting period" I just want everything ready for his arrival. I keep having this re-occurring dream he is coming early. EEEKKKK.

As for me, I am starting to feel a bit heavy and slowed down. It's alot harder to do the things you take for granted 30 lbs ago, even bending over is a task:) The heartburn is full blown and Cody is kicking the crap out of my belly daily, but I still can't complain, it will be worth every second when he is finally here. 9 weeks and counting.....
