Dr. Appt- 29 weeks, 5 days

Well, I had my dr's appointment yesterday and everything is going just swimmingly!! The doctor was very happy with my blood pressure, urine, weight gain, and Haven's beartbeat (which was at 139bpm)! He was so happy... that I don't have to go back for another 4 weeks again! Which is awesome b/c I feel like I am just in and out anyway and all the work it takes to find someone to watch Venily and then drive there and back is kind of pointless. I had a 4:00 appt yesterday and got in a few minutes early. After my appointment was done and I had scheduled my next appointment (Aug 13th- I'll be 34 weeks!) and I had gotten back to my van and looked at the time it was literally 4:04, lol!

Venily turned 21 months old yesterday as well! I will try to update about her later when I get a chance! And I will be 30 weeks pregnant tomorrow... I'm so excited!!!!! And the new Harry Potter movie comes out tomorrow!!!! Yep, I'm a dork, I don't care! We're going to try and see it on the Ultrascreen either tomorrow or Thursday!!! :)

29 weeks- reality is setting in!

So my grandma gave me this super cute gift for Haven. Baby socks, some toys, and the cutest little outfit. And it totally hit me... I'm having another baby... and I can't wait!! I was looking at the stuff and couldn't believe how cute it was and I had SUCH a strong desire to have another small baby, it was unreal. Then I realized that in 2 1/2 months, I WILL HAVE ANOTHER BABY!!! It's crazy how surreal this whole thing is even though it's my second time around and even though the evidence is staring me right in the mirror (and kicking me right in the stomach!)! I just can't believe it! I'm SOOOOO excited!!!! :)

At 29 weeks...

* I am at 134 lbs (+ 14 lbs total gain)
* Haven has a 90% chance of survival if born now!!!
* Haven weighs almost 3 lbs!


My yoga instructor (who I love!) let me borrow a pregnancy yoga book from her. I really need to start doing it more than once a week and there are some positions to help with sciatic pain which I REALLY need to try b/c just relaxing is not going to happen... I have WAY TOO MUCH TO DO before Haven gets here! I was able to get a lot more organizing and cleaning done this week which is awesome! Also all of Haven's 6-9m & 9m clothes are now washed and put away, so she is all set...


I'm still trying to get a good video of Haven with her feet sticking out like crazy, but either Venily wants to get in the way of the video or when I finally get up and get my camera, Haven settles down some... so I will upload the one that I got when I get a chance, though it's pretty tame to what she CAN do, lol! She is soooo very crazy, she woke me up a million times last night! Let's hope she fixes that before she's born!



Looking forward to a nice 3 year anniversary with my husband today!!!!

August 6, 2007 (29 weeks, 4 days pregnant w/ Venily)



Our baby shower yesterday was AWESOME!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who came and helped celebrate our new daughter! I couldn't even get to sleep last night because I was so overwhelmed by everyone's generosity and well wishes for our daughter! It's truly amazing how much this little girl is already loved, I'm almost crying again just writing this! Thanks especially to Lauren and Jacki for throwing the shower for us. It was just perfect (although a trillion degrees and humid- but great nonetheless)! I can't even believe how much stuff Venily got either! I spent all day yesterday from the moment I got home from the shower until I went to bed, opening and putting things away and I didn't even get done! And after shopping today for some of the little stuff that she still needed, she has about 99% of EVERYTHING that she needs! She now has a crib and mattress, her entire bed set and everything that goes with it, lots of packages of diapers and wipes, bottles, baby monitors, umbrella stroller, diaper bag, lots of clothes and blankets, stuff for nursing, socks, bath stuff and lotion, calendar and baby book, robes, lots of cute toys, boppy pillow, hamper and laundry basket, travel bed, shopping cart cover, hair stuff, pacifiers, wipewarmer, medicines, bowls and spoons, frames, etc., etc. etc. I can't even write everything that she got b/c it goes on forever! I'm just in LOVE with all of the stuff too! I washed all of her bedding and clothes and things today in baby detergent and it just melts my heart how cute and little everything is! Especially the socks, oh my gosh, I don't think I could ever have enough tiny baby socks, I LOVE them! And her room smells like baby stuff too now, lol, I'm getting SOOO excited for her to come!!!! Jason is moving Lisa's bed out of her room sometime this week and then I'm going to get the crib all set up and start putting her room more together, I can't wait! I have a few pictures up from the shower, but I'll hopefully be getting more later- keep in mind that I was really hot and sweaty. :) Thanks again to everyone, I can't even express how much it is appreciated!!!

Picture: 29w, 2d

We are SOOO excited for our baby shower tomorrow! There are supposed to be a "few showers" (lol) tomorrow with a 30% chance of rain, but it is going to be fun no matter what and there's a covered pavillion too, so it doesn't really matter! I can't wait until Monday either because Venily and I are going SHOPPING for everything that she still needs! Lol, not that I've been able to keep myself from going anyways! Almost every time I'm out now I pick her up something (mostly on sale of course!). Even Jason has gotten into the habit, lol! Yesterday he stopped at a garage sale and bought her this really nice three-wheeled jogging stroller that looks like it's brand new. He said it's so we can take her for walks in the woods like at Bong or when we go camping and stuff. LOL! I LOVE IT and I love him for getting it!

Yesterday and today I painted the letters for her room, so they are ready to go now. We also got a dresser that I've been fixing up. It's been in my family for a long time and it's really cute, it just needs some work. I cleaned it all up today, bought and put on new knobs, and bought wood to make shelves (it's got a bookshelf too, which is what I really wanted!). I need to decide though if I'm going to paint it, restain it, or leave it like it is and just maybe put a few coats of polyurethane on it or something. Now I just need Lisa to go back to college so I can get her bed out of Venily's room and put everything in place!! :)

Also, I just took another belly pic today and it's SO FUNNY! I can't even believe I'm that big! It's so crazy! What's going to happen in the next 10 weeks!? I'm kind of scared about that!
