Maternity Pics Preview

My friend Sharyn Frenkel is an amazing photographer. I met her when I booked her for my wedding and we have since become very good friends. I couldn't think of anyone else doing my maternity shoot, as well as, new photos of Baby D. Here is the first of my maternity photos she took last weekend.

3 weeks to go! And we are making progress

1-2 centimeters dilated and having some mild contractions. Nothing to get overly excited about, but we are making progress. :)

Will keep everyone posted.

Weekly Appointments! Update 1!

Head is definitely down and we are a fingertip dilated. Not much, but I'll take it! Anything is a lot right now. :)

Here are some 36 weeks pics of the belly!!

Baby D's Shower! He Done Good!!!

I'm a little late with this post, but last weekend was my Baby Shower and boy did we get showered!! Family and friends were more then gracious and it took 4 cars to get everything we got back to my parent's house and 3 very packed cars to get everything home to PA. I can't believe tomorrow I hit the 30 day mark till Baby D's due date. I am hoping he decides to arrive a little sooner then that, but I guess it's a waiting game till then! I have my 1st internal exam on Monday, so I will keep everyone posted as to how that goes and if we have anything exciting to report!

33 Weeks and Moving Right Along....

How Far Along: 33 weeks

Maternity Clothes: Yes. I actually got excited to wear an A-line dress of mine from last summer that actually passed as maternity. Still deciding if that is a good or bad thing.

Stretch Marks: Like a tree falling in a forest...if you can't see them, they don't exist. :)

Sleep: I am trying really hard to not sleep on my back but it's really the only comfortable position right now. I also am peeing 3-4 times a night, but actually had 1 night this week I didn't get up to pee at all. Wondering if there was a full moon?

Best moment of the week: Hubby's office threw him a baby shower. Was really exciting to see how much everyone at his work thinks so highly of him and how generous they were. Gets me very excited for my shower in 2 weeks!

Movement: Kicks, Hiccups and Somersaults. Baby has finally made his presence in my lungs known. Ugg.

Food Cravings: Pepsi. That's a weird one.

Gender: Still thinking penis at this point. :)

What I'm looking forward to this week: Making sure all is good at 33 week Doctor appt, Continuing to get things in the nursery ready, counting down to my baby shower, starting to pack hospital bag
