What a great weekend!

Well I had a wonderful weekend. Friday Mark and I got our new nursery baby furniture for Rylee's room. The crib we were able to take home and put up and the dresser/changing table will be here 7-14 days later. We had to order it and the conversion rails for the crib so it can turn into a full size bed later. :) So excited. So we have Rylee's room all set up and it looks so cute!! Then Saturday we had our 1st baby shower at Pattie's house and I got so many wonderful things and now Rylee's room has so many cute things in it. I can't wait for Mark to set up the pack n play so we can put it in our room and also set up the high chair. We even put a wooden rocker glider in the nursery. I love to sit on it and look at her room. :)We have been so blessed. We are getting so excited for our lil Rylee Michelle to be here and I can't wait to hold her. I have 7 more weeks and I hope it goes fast. We also have another baby shower in two weeks so can't wait to see my mom's family and friends at that one. Well I am working a lot this week and going to just take it easy. Hope all have a wonderful week!!!

33 weeks along 8 months

Rylee and me are 33 weeks along today which is in my 8Th month. Time is just flying by. We saw the midwife this week on Tuesday and Rylee is very active and laying transverse sideways in my tummy. haha! I think she is very much like Mark. Midwife said I have a urinary tract infection so to drink lots of water and take cranberry pills and if doesn't get better see the doctor. I have gained 28lbs now all belly. haha! Rylee is getting the hiccups regularly and about 3 or 4 times a day she kicks me really hard whenever I put things on my belly. She doesn't like anything in her space. Also like Mark. Well Wednesday we started getting a sore throat and getting really congested so we scheduled a doctors appointment yesterday and got tests taken to see if its strep or if I still have urinary tract infection. So should find out the results soon. I did get some antibiotics which are making me feel much better. My first baby shower is this weekend so I want to be feeling great and enjoy it. We had Lamaze class last night again and really enjoyed it. We practiced our breathing a lot and Mark is being a really good coach. He made it thru the birth video and just made some funny faces. haha! I think he is going to be a wonderful dad. :) Today Mark & I are going to look for baby furniture. The original furniture I wanted you have to order it which takes 9-12 weeks so too long. So we are going to go find something that is available now. Tomorrow is the baby shower and I can't wait to get things setup for Rylee. The nursery is only missing the furniture and a new daybed comforter. Mark even put up an brown antique chandelier which looks so good. Then we are going to put a little white chandelier above her crib. This really dresses up the nursery. :) Well we nesting away. Stay tuned to see how the shower turns out. Have a blessed day!!

Rise and Shine 2010

Well this morning 5am Rylee decided to wake me up instead of me waking her up. haha! The joys of having your unborn child kick you bright and early. Usually she doesn't wake until after I get moving around. But not this morning. :) It is such a cool feeling to feel your child move inside of you. I just love it!! :) Motherhood is so wonderful and I can't wait until little Rylee Michelle is here. 4 more days and I will be 28 weeks along which is the start of my 8th month. So two more months 8 weeks to go! I can't wait to hold my little girl. :) I have actually lost 3 lbs since last Tuesday which is good I guess. I was at 27lbs at my last midwife appointment and now I have only gained 24lbs. :) Not that I am trying to lose weight but it is nice when i do lose weight because I have been eating so bad since being prego. Maybe its because I have been eating smaller portions. I just don't want to have too much weight stick on me. Mark tells me to quit worrying. Well gotta love mondays. Have a blessed week. :)
