32 Weeks!!!

This weekend we went to Lake Martin for my friend, Natalie's, birthday. The weather was a little chilly, but beautiful, and we had a blast! It was nice to just get away for the weekend. Here are a couple of pics from Dax's first lake trip!

31 Weeks

This weekend was our baby shower!!! It was SOOOO perfect! I had such a wonderful time with our friends and family, and we got tons of great gifts to help us prepare for Dax! Here are some pictures from the shower. The one with all of the girls is of me with all of the hostesses plus mine and Josh's moms. We are so blessed to have so many wonderful people in our lives!

30 Weeks!!!

We are now at 30 weeks! Only 10 more to go! Everything is going great! My baby shower is this Saturday and I am so excited and cannot wait to see everybody!!! Here's what's going on inside my belly this week:

Your baby's about 15.7 inches long now, and he weighs almost 3 pounds. A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds him, but that volume will decrease as he gets bigger and takes up more room in your uterus. His eyesight continues to develop, though it's not very keen; even after he's born, he'll keep his eyes closed for a good part of the day. When he does open them, he'll respond to changes in light but will have 20/400 vision — which means he can only make out objects a few inches from his face. (Normal adult vision is 20/20.)

29 Weeks!!!

We have hit 29 weeks! This week, we celebrated my 26th birthday at my parents' house in Selma! We had so much fun and lots of delicious food, of course! My cousin, Andy, and his girlfriend, Tina, came to visit us this week, too! It was so nice seeing them!They drove from Orlando, Florida to Savannah, Georgia, and came through Alabama on their way back home. They stayed in Birmingham for two nights, and had dinner with Matt, Murray, Josh and me both nights. It was a nice visit! At our Planning for Parenthood class this week, Josh (and the other dads) had to dress up in an empathy belly. I posted a couple of pics of that! What a good sport!!! :)

28 Weeks

We have hit 28 weeks! So far, so good! We started our Planning for Parenthood class this week at the hospital and it was pretty informative. We will be going once a week for the next 3 weeks. We also had our Drs appointment on Wednesday. They re-did the ultrasound, but Dax was still not cooperating. He ended up deciding to turn his entire body and face toward my spine. He just really wants us to wait to see his face in person. Oh well! Only 11 more weeks!!! Our next appointment is in 2 weeks. Other than the 4D, everything else looked good! I am measuring at 29 cm, which is right on target, and his heartbeat was great! I also got my diaper bag, thanks to my mom (Mimi) and Josh's mom (Nana). It's Petunia Pickle Bottom, and I absolutely LOVE it and CANNOT wait to wear it. It even folds out in front to make a take-anywhere changing station! Here are some belly pics at 28 weeks and a couple of pics of my diaper bag. We are going to Selma this weekend to celebrate my 26th birthday! Will post more pics soon!

27 Weeks

I totally forgot to get a belly picture this week, but you can kind of see it in this pic of my mom and me. This is the crib bumper that my mom made! I absolutely love it and so does Dax! I don't know why I am standing like that in the picture, but it is definitley not a very flattering position! The crib looks wonderful...thanks, Mom!!!! Everything is PERFECT!!! I will post some nursery pics once we get it looking good!

4-D Ultrasound Pics

Here are a few of the 4D ultrasound pics from 26 1/2 weeks. Dax wasn't cooperating. He didn't want to move his hand from in front of his face, and his foot was on top of his head the whole time! So cute, though! I don't know if you can tell, but in the first one, he has his eyes open. The last one was of him getting mad at the ultrasound tech, and flicking her off, for trying to wake him up! Looks like we're going to have a handful!:) We are officially in love with him and cannot wait to meet him! Since he wasn't cooperating, we get to get another 4D ultrasound this Wednesday, when we will be almost 29 weeks! Yay! We can't wait to see him again!
