32 Weeks

32 Weeks
We went to the doctor last week and everything looked great. They will start checking his weight and position when I am 36 weeks. We are officially going to appointments every two weeks now! I feel like we are finally getting things accomplished as far as baby preparation goes. Madden's carseat came in today! We now have his dresser for his room (present from Uncle Josh and Aunt Lauren!..Thank you!). Also his  bedding and rocker should be in anytime now. We are finally painting his room this week! Love that things are finally coming together!

31 Weeks & A Baby Shower

31 weeks..9 wks or less to go!
We have our next dr. appointment tomorrow. I am anxious to see how much he has grown in the past 3 weeks. We will be having our appointments every two weeks from now on!

Sunday we had our first baby shower at my church. It was so much fun! We got a lot of precious things for Madden. It definitely made reality set in seeing all the diapers and oufits that he will be wearing. We are so close to meeting this baby!

30 Weeks

Madden and his mother are getting big! I am starting to feel very pregnant, especially at night. It is becoming very hard to get comfortable. I am constantly switching sides when sleeping. Madden loves to get his exercise in at night which doesn't help with the sleeping. However, he loves to get his exercise in during the day too. I don't think an hour goes by that he hasn't kicked or rolled around many times. I'm afraid we may have a very active little boy on our hands. This week I have also been getting the dizzy feeling a lot throughout the day. Braxton Hicks contractions haven't been as bad this past week. Those things freak me out. My doctor told me if I had 5 or 6 in an hour that I needed to call and let her know. On many occasions I will have up to four in an hour! It always makes me nervous. So thankfully they have happened less since about 29 weeks. I think that's about it as far as symptoms goes for this week.

This weekend I will be having my first baby shower at my church! I can't wait! It's definitely going to make things so real and probably send me into a little panic mode considering we are getting SO close to having him. I still have TONS to do. Thankfully I will be out for Christmas break in two weeks, so I am hoping to get lots accomplished.
