Almost there

I will be entering my 9th month this week. As of yesterday we are officially a month away from my due date. I think it's really starting to hit me that I will be a mom. Ricky is all cool, calm, and collect while I am not so much (I contribute that to hormones).

I have my 36 weeks doctor's appointment this Thursday and I'm hoping that they'll do an exam and let me know how things are looking. Sophie's still as active as ever and at times it's a little uncomfortable, a little kick to the ribs here and there. I'm know I've said this a thousand times, but we are so ready.

Baby Pictures

Even though we found out the gender, what Sophie will actually look like will still be a big surprise. Ricky and I like to speculate, when we look at our baby pictures, who she'll resemble more. Who's nose will she have (I pray that it's not mine), what color eyes and hair. If she inherits one thing from me, I hope it's my ability to tan easily.

If you look at our baby pictures, you will see that we were very opposite babies. I have the dark hair (and lots of it) and brown eyes. Ricky has practically no hair and blue eyes (plus he had very blond, almost white hair growing up). So this should be interesting. Only 5 1/2 more weeks to wonder.......

Cute little pic

Soon to be Mommy and Daddy

This picture was taken at Mike and Sarah's Bridal Shower this past weekend. It's not often we get pictures taken together and I thought it was a cute one worth posting.


Also want everyone to know that Ricky has been doing an awesome job rubbing my feet for me when I get home from work. And I won't forget to mention that Amy rubs them whenever we visit :)

Update

Went for my 34 weeks doctors appointment today. Another great checkup, Sophie is head first so we are happy about that little tid bit of information. Everything is looking good overall. I go May 7th for my 36 week check up and will then be going every week! The end is getting near, which I'm happy about. I'm tired of my feet and ankles swelling.

I'm starting to base my gym attendance on whether I can fit my feet in my shoes. This morning I was able to. Starting to limit my workouts to walking and bike riding at this point. I throw a little bit of weights in here and there. Believe it or not, working out actually gives me more energy.

We can't wait to meet this little girl!

Niece and Nephew pictures

A few pictures of our niece, Addison, in her Easter dress along with Doug and Maegan. She is such a ham for the camera!

We got to witness an interesting event Saturday morning....Garrett playing Pee Wee Soccer. He looked so cute in his uniform and even though it was mad chaos with all the 3 year olds running around, it was fun to watch. Here are a few pictures.

Last but not least...

The last piece of artwork has been hung in the nursery. My mom has completed the Butterfly button canvas that she's been working on for Sophie. It turned out so awesome and looks perfect in the room! She did such a great job and turned out better than I could have imagined. Thanks Mom!!

32 Weeks

Just a quick update that my 32 week doctor's appointment Wed. went great, it was a pretty quick appointment so there's nothing new to really report. I go back next week. Other than that, HAPPY EASTER everyone!
