Week 32

We are officially counting down. 8 weeks to go. Matt seems to think Aria will come early but who knows. Had a Dr. visit with ultrasound yesterday and everything seems to be doing great. She is head down and already 5lbs. 11oz!!! We think she may weigh over 8lbs. by the time she arrives. I however have been gaining well and have not over done it. I am right where I need to be so I guess you can say it is all baby. The room is 95% done and we have all we need to bring her home and be supplied for about a week. Matt and I are looking forward to our first baby shower next Sat. the 19th in Atlanta with all of my college girlfriends. Stay tuned as things get closer there will be a lot more activity.

Getting Ready

Well...things are moving along quickly it seems. We are 31.5 weeks and have the basics necessary to bring baby home. Thank goodness! All is still going well with the pregnancy and other than the occasional back pain things could not be better. Aria's room is coming along perfectly and we cannot believe how good it all looks. Of course none of it could happen without the help of Matt's parents and the support of all of our family.

It is official!!!

Matt and I are having a girl!! We could not be more excited although already nervous about the string of dance and music recitals we will be going to. As wonderful as the little girl outfit options are there is too much pink and too many ruffles in the world!!! We are hoping to keep it simple. Everything went well at the appointment and things are looking great. So far so good and things are almost too easy I am beginning to wonder. Here are her pics!

Another exciting appointment!

Ok...another great doctors appointment! The baby's heartbeat was strong at 145 bpm and everything seems to be going along nicely. Dad is excited and we have our very important anatomy ultrasound appt. for 4/30! We cannot wait and I will probably not write again until then and things start picking up. We are planning on starting room renovations next weekend the 12th and have a garage sale all in one. Stay in tune for the big news on the 30th!

Moving Along

Things are moving along nicely. I am feeling great although there is still the occassional tiredness and this just seems like limbo time. About the end of April we will find out what it is. We hope! Spring and Summer is coming and I cannot wait!

First sounds!

For the first time matt and I were able to hear our baby's heartbeat! It took a while and the entire time I was holding my breath until finally, what seemed like forever, we heard it. Fast and strong. Things are progressing nicely and I am feeling great especially now that the exhaustion is subsiding. Matt and I are still reeling with excitement and we cannot believe how things are moving along. I look no different and matt is getting anxious to see a belly! Stay tuned.

New Blog!

Ok..so I have been hesitating on starting up a blog page and in researching other friends' pages I realized that for most of them they did not start a blog until AFTER a big event in thier life. So.. I decided to go ahead and get one started as a catalogue of exciting things toc ome and a memory bank where frinds and family can keep up with how things are going. Hope to see you here soon and often!
