31 weeks Preggo!




I have no idea why my stomach looks so different when it's covered. I'm 31 weeks going on 50 it seems! I'm so ready for her to get here I can't take it! I really feel like I have been pregnant for a year now! Things are going really well and we can't wait to come in for Thanksgiving! Not only do we get to see friends and family and eat, but I have another shower!! YAY! We have more than enough clothes so I'm hoping to get a few necessities...like my stroller :) Hint, hint (jk) Right now we are really preoccupied with what her name will be. Emery has worn off and now we like Carson, Ainsley, Fallon, and Elle (short for Elizabeth). I can't decide and it seems we have a new name every week...oh wait, we do. If y'all have any ideas let me know, please! I also went to the doctor last week, for a general check-up. The heartbeat sounded good and strong and when I asked if he could check her position he said, let's just do an ultrasound since you haven't seen her in a while! I was so excited. Unfortunately the only clear shot we could get was of her feet, but it was still pretty cool.


Nothing new has really happened since my last post..other than Halloween. I wish I would've taken a picture of the house down the street. These people went all out and totally converted their garage into Dracula's cave complete with an elevated coffin and smoke from dry ice. It was pretty impressive. Although, most of the kids were to scared to go down that far so our house was the last stop....lucky us. We ran out of candy about halfway through the night and Donald decided to give away my lastest craving---doughnuts! Yep, you heard me. So needless to say me and a friend ran to the store for candy and my doughnuts while he held down the fort. I was also forced to watch Halloween H2O. For those of you that know me well you know I hate horror movies....can we say paranoid?! But, it was fun and I can't wait to go next year with my daughter! (I'm still not used to saying that)


The pics I posted are of me at 28 weeks, so they are a few weeks old. I am definitely growing by the minute and will have to get more maternity clothes to carry me through these last two months. I will also try to post the picture of her feet as soon as I can.

Nesting at 7 months

Is it too early to begin this process? I have been waking up around 12am and staying up until 3am cleaning! What the heck?! Please tell me if anyone else experiences this... If you know me well, then you know that I straighten and hit the high points about once a month, but hardly ever deep clean. I can't get enough these days---but our house looks pretty good, so I can't complain too much. I plan on posting before and after pics of the nursery eventually so you can see where I've been spending most nights cleaning. :)
More to come...

Baby Showers























Last weekend was my first two baby showers...on the same day.... and my first trip home since moving to Natchitoches...a.k.a..."East Bumble." Donald and I were able to spend lots of time with our best friends and family--Donald also spent a lot of time in the woods as usual. It was SO great to see everyone and look at all the cute things Emery will get wear and play with! I have no idea how we fit it all into one vehicle! Thanks to everyone again for being so generous and thoughtful!
It looks like our next trip home will be at Thanksgiving and we get to spend an entire week eating and relaxing! (my favorite things to do these days) Jennifer and I have an after Thanksgiving Day shopping tradition that I may have to break this year since I will be about 34 weeks pregnant :( I think she'll forgive me as long as we keep it going next year.

More pics to come...
