Great Weekend!!!!!

So it all started with my Dr.'s appt. on Friday. I went in for my 31week appt. (yep, can you believe we are there already?!?!?!) and the Dr. said everything is looking great. Baby Jack's head is down and he's just hanging out in there getting bigger & bigger. My pregnancy brain finally allowed me to remember some questions I wanted to ask & I was able to get some answers which was great. I also let them know that I am definitely NOT against c-sections (actually would rather that!) but so far I will not be having one of them unless Jack decides when the time comes that he would rather stay in there. I guess we'll wait & see what his plans are. I gained another 5lbs =( but that only puts me at a total of 22lbs so far which everyone else says is good so I will have to take their word for it. Hopefully I will not gain a ridiculous amount more in the next 8 or 9 weeks, fingers crossed! The Dr. also said that I now start going to see them every 2 weeks! I'm so excited because it means we are that much closer to meeting Jack!!! =)

Well, Saturday was the best because it was my SHOWER!! Thank you sooooo much to everyone for coming and making it such a special and great day! Jack is now outfitted with the cutest clothes until he's at least 3 I think!! He also got a ton of other great stuff. I can't wait until he's here to put him in all of it, play with it, and have him enjoy it all! I really had a great time seeing everyone and being able to chat with you all. I just wish the day hadn't gone by so fast. Jack is so lucky (and so am I) to have you all in his life!!

Yesterday (Sunday) was fun too! My mom was here from FL so we hung out for a little bit before she had to go back to the airport and head back down south for some warmer weather. While here though we were able to go have some NY pizza which she hasn't had in about 2 years so that was good too =) Then we went to dinner with family last night and I ate until I thought they were going to have to roll me out of the restaurant. What can I say, Jack made me do it!!! Now I know why I gained 5lbs in 3 weeks!!!

Well I guess that's long enough for now. I will post some pictures (or a link to pictures) from the shower as soon as I get them uploaded and get them from other people. Thank you all again!!!!

Officially 7 months!!!

Can you believe it? Where has the time gone? As of tomorrow (Saturday) I will be officially 7 months, 28 weeks and have only 12 weeks left to go =) I am so excited and really can't wait to meet our little man. Joe has already begun talking to him and told him about the March Madness scores and making sure he "knows" what is going on out here in the sports world, lol, did we expect any less?

Well today was my 28 week appointment and I had my Rhogam shot which really wasn't as bad as I had made it out to be in my head and actually just pinched a tiny bit but didn't really hurt. Jack's heartbeat was measuring at about 149-150 and the Dr. said she thinks that he is head down and just hanging out with his butt up on my right side, lol. I knew it! I kept telling Joe that Jack was mooning everyone...seriously, can he get any more like Joe before he's even born?!?!

As for me the Dr. said I have a nice belly (YAY!!) and I have only gained 2lbs in the last 3 weeks which I was so happy & proud of because I swore it was more, especially since my taste buds have decided they like Pillsbury chocolate chip cookies again! I now go back to the Dr. in 3 weeks and then after that I will start going every 2 weeks...I can't believe we are at that point already! So scary all of this and yet so exciting at the same time!!!!!!

No new belly pics yet but hopefully I will have some by the end of the weekend and will post then =)

til next time...
