In the Heights

We bought tickets to see a In the Heights. It was different than normal musicals but we enjoyed getting dressed up and going out. I haven't really felt like getting dressed up, but I thought it would be a nice treat for James. I even surprised him with wearing a fancy dress.

28 weeks~ Third Trimester

So hard to believe I am 28 weeks! I am starting my third trimester. Woo Hoo! I received excellent news that I passed my second gestational diabetes test! Our prayers have been answered. Andrew is 16 inches long... hard to believe he can fit himself in there and weighing 2.5 pounds (about the weight of a Chinese cabbage). I am starting to feel him kick more regularly at night, or whenever I am still, which isn't often. Ha! 

My mom spoiled me over the break and bought me very nice work shoes. I am sooo thankful because I was waking up with excruciating back pain in the middle of the night, and now the pain is gone. 


We are so excited and can't wait to meet this sweet little boy. To celebrate his soon arrival, James and I are heading on a  Babymoon to Hot Springs, Arkansas next weekend. I am looking forward to hanging out with my best friend! I know the trip will be very enjoyable!

Houston Shower

We are so blessed to have another shower already. Andrew's room is full and all we need is him! (But not yet ;-) )  It was so good to see so many people we haven't seen in a while! My mom did such a good job with the decorations and everyone was entertained by her games. Thank you everyone for loving Andrew! We are so truly blessed!

Shower of Blessings

This is a very late blog... but in October Shelly and Wes hosted a family shower for us! It was perfect! She did such a good job with every little detail! James and I were truly blessed with so many baby gifts. We are truly overwhelmed with all the love. We are SO excited to meet this little boy. Andrew is already so loved.

Pumpkin Carving

A couple of Sundays ago, James and I hosted pumpkin carving for our class.  I should have taken picture of the yummy food! Here is James's excellent pumpkin... I took out the guts; he did the carving. :-)

Andrew's Nursery

One of my co-workers gave me a bag of leftover diapers. James and I were sorting through them. This is what happens when you won't stay out of the diapers... you get the diaper of shame.

 

We have been working on decorating Andrew's room. Here is the latest! :-)

Andrew is GROWING!!!

Maybe... a little too well! James and I went to see the doctor today. He is about the length of a banana. He is measuring about a week early. He is 13 ounces (average baby at 20 weeks is 10 ounces). His head size is large, in the 92nd percentile. His arms are also longer like his daddy. (76th percentile).  He is laying sideways, with his head on my right side.

This weekend I began feeling Andrew; it had been feeling like little bubble popping. I have had a difficult time feeling him because my placenta is on the front. He doesn't like me to sleep on my right side; he got up into my ribs until I can't take the pain and roll over.  Maybe sleeping on your head isn't any fun.

We also bought the bedding.  WooHoo! I am so excited and can't wait to get it!
