38 & 39 Weeks

Yup, I'm still pregnant.  I was definitely hoping that last week's was the last bump-date...no such luck.  As of my appointment on Tuesday, I was at 2 cm and 70% effaced.  Apparently, little miss is quite comfortable right where she is.  Any day now...until then, here are the latest 2 pictures of the bump.

38 weeks - 11.21.10

39 weeks - 11.28.10

36 & 37 Weeks

I'm a little behind on the blog, but here are the 36 & 37 week bump pics. 

36 weeks - 11.7.10

37 weeks - 11.14.10

I still need to do a post on my last baby shower as well (it was fabulous) - hopefully, soon.

We went to the doctor today and I'm about 2 cm dilated and 50% effaced.  Yay for progress (even if it's not much).  We go back on Tuesday since Thanksgiving is Thursday.  Not gonna lie - I'm hoping I'm in the hospital on Thanksgiving, but we'll just have to wait and see I guess.  She'll come when she's good and ready!

32 Week Bump-date

Here's the official 32 week picture (just to be consistent with the others).

28 Week Bump-Date (about a week or so late) & Abby's Latest Pics

Here's the latest picture of the bump...

28 Weeks - 9/12/10

We also had another ultrasound done last week (probably our very last one) and everything looked perfect.  We had a hard time getting clear pictures of Abby's face because she was head down and facing my back, but below are the few that we did get.  According to the ultrasound, she was about 2 lbs, 12 oz (53%).  I also had my glucose test last week and the results came back normal - yay for no gestational diabetes!

Profile

4D face

4D profile - her hand (upside down right above her nose) and knee

(curved in towards her mouth) are in front of her face in this one.

We're getting close to the end which means I now go to the doctor every 2 weeks instead of once/month - good times!

24 Weeks

Sunday marked 24 weeks - that's 6 months - ohmygosh, that sounded really pregnant when I wasn't; it doesn't really anymore!  Anyways, here's the latest picture of the bump. 

We had a doctor's appointment last Thursday and everything looks good.  Abby has a good strong heartbeat and appears to be measuring right on target; however, we'll be better able to tell her size at our appointment next month when we get to have another ultrasound.

20 Week Bump-date & Presents

Here's the 20 week picture - we're 1/2 way there!  That's quite unbelievable to be completely honest!  In the past week or so I've definitely started to feel her kick a LOT.  She seems to be pretty active about 30 minutes after each time I eat and will kick for about 5 -10 minutes (I'm sure she probably does it more, but these are the only times that I can actually feel it and know for sure that it's her).  She's still not quite strong enough for anyone else to feel her kick yet, but I imagine that she will be any day now. 

Yet to be Officially Named Baby Girl also got her 1st presents last week as well.

Aunt Ashley, Uncle Will & Cousin Maddie gave her her first bib, spoons, and baby food (peas to be exact).  Clay and I were there when Maddie ate her first peas so they have all requested that they get to experience baby girls first pea experience (whenever that may be - I estimate somewhere around May or June 2011).

Mimi & Papi (Clay's parents) gave baby girl her 1st sleeper and teether as well as a super cute picture frame.

My grandparents (baby girl's great grandparents) sent her her 1st onesie, socks, baby blanket (2), and her very 1st lovey (it's super soft and I might secretly steal it for myself - just kidding).  They also sent 2 really cute picture frames.

Thanks so much, everyone!  She can't wait to use them all come the end of the year!

**  The painters are coming some time towards the end of this week to paint the nursery.  Once that's done, I'll post some bare-bones pictures to show the furniture and bedding.

Bump-date

Althought a few days late, here's the latest bump-date.  Baby Jackson is definitely getting bigger!

16 weeks - 6/20/10

P.S. - In case you're counting down (like me), we find out whether baby Jackson is a boy or girl in less than 2 weeks!

Baby Bump

As promised, here are pictures of the growing bump (don't judge, but yes that's the same shirt in 2 different colors - I can't help it, I like what I like and I know when I like it).  :)

8 weeks - April 25, 2010 - I'm sorry, but for some reason I look like I'm 12 in this picture.  Not sure what that's all about.

12 weeks, 2 days - May 25, 2010 - this picture is MUCH better than the first bump pic!
