35 Weeks

So here we are at what I've learned is referred to as 35/35. Meaning 35 WEEKS down and 35 DAYS to go.



Let's see, my hips are hurting, my feet are a little puffy, must be the end of pregnancy. Tying my shoes and bending down to pick something up off the floor are major calorie burning events.

Bonus bump and pup picture.

Back to School

It's that time of year again. Time to go back to work. I always feel rested after the summer and thank my lucky stars that I have a job that allows me a couple of months off during the summer. I was especially excited to go back this year because I know that we're a day closer to meeting Baby Girl.

Neal got a few points in the "good husband book" and hauled my school stuff from the house to the school. Meet Mr. Neal, speech husband.



The year has started off good. Lots of changes since we have all new adminstration, but change is good and just what our school needs. My leave paperwork is filed and I'll work until Baby Girl tells me otherwise.

34 Weeks

34 weeks and 6-ish weeks to go. I had a few days of being uncomfortable but it got better. I'm sure it's just a little repreive though and more is to come. The bump is getting rounder. We'll get her estimated weight in a couple of weeks.


We took the newborn care class at the hospital this week. This is the creepy dummy baby we had to take care of. Neal actually got more praises for his diaper changing skills than I did. Maybe he should be in charge of diaper changes since he's so good at it!

When we were practicing swaddling, he said he was just going to wrap her up like a Freebird's burrito and she'll be fine. Oh the Daddy wisdom!

Beaumont Baby Shower

My aunts and cousins threw the most perfect shower ever last weekend. Everything was so cute and I'm glad I was able to visit with everyone.











33 Weeks

A few days behind but here is my 33 week picture. I'm feeling bigger everyday.


Had a doctor's appointment today. Everything is measuring on track and her heartbeat is still in the 130s. It's almost time for the weekly appointments and internal checks to start to see if I'm progressing. The uncomfortableness has definetely settled in. I can only sleep about 30 minutes to an hour before having to either go to the bathroom or flip to my other side because my hips feel like they are on fire. Also feeling more minor aches and pains. Keeping my eye on the prize and know it will be worth it in the end!

Shower for Baby Girl

Saturday was our first shower for Baby Girl. She's so loved already. Since the shower was at my house, I got kicked out for a few hours so the hostesses could do their magic. I showed Mom where to park at the hospital then we walked across the skywalk to the mall to kill some time. Everything was so pretty and perfect.



Bridgeland Triathalon

Neal did the Bridgeland Triathalon on Sunday. I went with him and all I can say is it was H-O-T! I was so sweaty and achy by the time it was over. Neal finished 70 out of 160 in his age group. The heat really affected his race time too.

It's so hard to get a good picture of the swim. Let's just pretend one of these guys is Neal. He probably is actually in the group but I have no idea which one.




13 Mile bike.


3 Mile run.


...and the first place award goes to ME for surviving the heat.
