Beautiful Baby Shower!!!


31 weeks!

Wow! is all I can say about my Baby Shower. Mom and Carly out did themselves!! It was a beautiful day with lots of friends and family. Mom did a Tea Party theme. It turned out really cute! She also did yummy finger sandwiches, petite fours, cupcakes and so much more!! My cousin Amy surprised us and also made the trip from Canada!!It was SO great to see her! We were very blessed with many wonderful gifts. Thank you! Thank you! To everyone who came and sent gifts. You have given Bella a great start for when she enters this world! I had a Doctors appointment yesterday. She is measuring 4lbs 6oz! She is in the 43rd percentile. I was wondering if she was big since my bellly has gotten so big. But no, thank goodness she is just a little girl. She has lots of hair!!I didn't have any hair when I was born so she is taking after Junior! I can't wait to see what color it is and if it is curly or straight! We tried to see her face but she was hiding. We saw her lips and nostrils! Her lips looked like Juniors!!

The Tables were shades of Pink!


Mom hung a clothes line with all of mine and Carlys old baby clothes!

Wow, you have two more months! Is it a boy?!

Since I am so short my belly has really popped out recently! These are strangers favorite comments to me for the past few weeks! Or... oh, are you having a Christmas Baby?  It can get a little annoying and makes me feel bad sometimes. I asked my mom and a few friends am I really that huge?? It seems like every check out lady has to make a comment to me. Cathie told me just wait until after you have the baby and someone asks you when you are due! ha,ha. Just gotta love it! People love to talk to pregnant ladies. 

I went to the Doctor on Wednesday. No ultrasound this time. He checked Bella's Heartbeat and said it was nice and steady. She is measuring right on track! I told him the comments I have been getting and asked if my belly is to big. He smiled at me and said no it just looks bigger because I am so short. Not to worry that I will get plenty more comments. All my vitals looked good. I have gained 17 pounds so far. He said I can gain up to 10 more pounds. Trying to stay away from the chocolate! It is hard!! The Holidays don't help. I am 30 weeks today! 10 more weeks to go! I get an Ultrasound on the 17th. Carly will be in town then so she and Mom are going to come to the appointment with us. I can't wait to see Bella again!! I wonder if she has any hair? I think they may be able to see it on the ultrasound. She is facing head down with her butt at the top of my belly and legs stuck in the right side of my ribs. She seems to prefer the right side of the belly. It is SO neat to watch the belly move! It is like I have a little alien inside of me. Junior talks to her every night and she always moves when she hears him!
