9 Weeks Left and Counting!

Nursery sunflower to watch over her when she sleeps!

So pink! So cute!

Her first set of sheets!

A full closet...of course!

So many socks and hair bows I already had to buy organizers!

Adorable pillow my girlfriend Brittney made for her...It fits perfectly in her rocker!

Nesting Nesting Nesting! Okay, the urge is 100% in full effect to reorganize and refold every item in the house. Now that I have all of these itty bitty little clothes and goodies in her room, I am having so much fun getting everything ready for her! I was so excited to get her mattress and bedding into her crib...it's so cute!! I actually got excited and announced to Matt "her first set of sheets are in our washer!! The first thing we've ever washed of hers...Aaaa..isn't that cute honey??!!" Every item just seems so small, it's really hard to imagine that she will fit into all of it!

At the time being, she doesn't feel SO small in my belly of course! She feels huge!! We started the first of our three "Prepared Childbirth" classes last week and although we knew quite a bit from our books we've been reading, there were some very helpful labor topics we went over. And yes, we watched two births......one was a natural birth. Looked like A LOT of fun...hahaha. I'm 100% believer of epidural for sure now. We also had to do this exercise where we received definitions of pregnancy terms and we had to match them to the correct words on the board and read the definitions out loud in front of the class. Matt offered to do all three words and I almost died when I realized the poor guy had gotten "lactation" "locchia" and "placenta" Three of those really graphic definitions that you quickly learn about in pregnancy that I don't even like to talk about! It was a three hour class, Matt had to give me a massage and do relaxation techniques for the last 30 minutes and he's such a good sport. Thank you and love you husband :)

The Bump is over 16 inches long now and weighs approx 3.3 lbs and she is headed into a growth spurt right now. Uh oh!! I don't know if there is any room for her! She can turn her head from side to side and she is beginning to plump out so her skin is a pink color now rather than transparent. We have a prenatal appointment tomorrow so I'm looking forward to hearing her heartbeat. It's definitely the highlight of my week every two weeks when we head to the doctor. I am having good days and bad days but overall feeling great. I do have quite a hard time breathing because my lungs are so squished so I try to have the best posture ever so that I have as much room in there as possible! Boy have things changed....sticking my chest out serves an entirely new purpose....breathing! hahaha
