Weekly Doctor Visits


We are getting closer to Zoey's arrival so we now have weekly doctor visits. Yesterday was the first one. We got a good report for the most part. I am not dialated any and she has not dropped yet. But the doctor did estimate that Zoey weighs about 5 pounds now & if I go the full 40 weeks she won't be bigger than 7 pounds. Since I weighed 6 pounds when I was born the doctor is guessing Zoey will be between 6 to 6 1/2 pounds. I was very happy to hear this because Josh keeps teasing that we're going to have a 10 pound baby!
This weekend is Halloween. We are going to the Bell Air Show during the day with some good friends then pass out candy & watch a scary movie at home. We don't really dress up but we dress up our first kids (the animals!) Here's a picture of Rocky's costume. I made Jack a pirate outfit but he hates wearing it & runs away when I get it out so I don't have a picture of him in it.

Fall & 35 weeks


It's finally starting to feel like Fall! I am loving the cooler weather. Being pregnant when it is 107 outside was not fun. This weekend Josh & I decided to do some Fall activities. On Saturday we went to the Dallas Arboretum. They have a pumpkin village with thousands of pumpkins.Saturday morning I woke up to my hubby making me breakfast :-) He made homemade cinnamon sugar donuts. They were so good!! I should let him cook for me more often.Today I am now 35 weeks pregnant!! I can't believe this pregnancy has gone by so fast. We could be holding our baby girl any day now & I think we are both ready. I know I am! Mostly because being this pregnant is pretty uncomfortable. I have been lucky and have had a fairly easy pregnancy. I didn't start to get uncomfortable until the 3rd trimester. We have completely finished the nursery & we even installed the car seat this weekend, we are just waiting on her now!How far along? 35 weeks!
Total weight gain/loss: +25 lbs
Maternity clothes? The only thing I can wear
Stretch Marks? Not yet, knock on wood!
Sleep: Pretty much have to have a daily nap now or put my feet up & relax for a little bit each day
Best moment this week: It was last week but I went to see Carrie Underwood with my mom & Zoey was moving the WHOLE time. She is def going to be a dancer like me :)
Movement: Pretty much all the time, I don't think she sleeps haha
Food Cravings/Aversions: Just hamburger meat & eggs
