7 weeks or less!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On Sunday, I will be at the 33 week mark---things are really starting to fly now which is freaking us both out a bit, i think!! We have a lot done but i keep thinking about all the OTHER stuff that still needs to be done. The nursery is getting there...we have the furniture, just waiting on the hutch. Today, we are going to hang his letters on the wall and a few other things. I already washed up all his clothes and put them away. I haven't had my shower yet but i have an inkling feeling it is going to happen soon :) We are still looking for a glider, so if anyone has some advice on a good one, PLEASE let me know...am trying to get a glider and an ottoman in the $300 range or so.

We had our 32 week appt on Tuesday with Dr. Colella. Since I know he delivered Holly's baby and my friend Amy had a good relationship with him, I really wanted to try him out. We really liked him, Jason just thought he was a little jokey and wondered if that would drive me crazy when i am in labor. Input anyone? So far our favorites have been Dr. Mackey, Dr. Dombo and Dr. Colella.

Stats: my bp was 108/64...weight is still good, gained a total of 24lbs so far. Hoping to max at 30, keeping my fingers crossed, we will see!! The doc felt the little guy's positioning and he is still head down. I have been feeling him poking his feet on the left side of my ribs lately, a little bugger! He is still really active, especially at night before bed, he lets me know when im hungry and of course when eating.

We went to a baby basics class on 12/6 which was informative and i think we are going to go with the pediatrician who did the talk :) On 12/13---we had the hospital tour which was eye opening! WOW---to think I will be giving birth soon---it just blows my mind...Also that day we had the 3D ultrasound, which was AMAZING!!! Brayden totally has mommy's lips and daddy's nose---so cute! He was very cooperative and kept his hands away from his face so we could see him. The funniest part was our first image of him---he had his hand down by his boys!! Hey, boys will be boys! For Christmas, we had a friend of ours make copies of the Dvd's so we can give them to our parents/grandparents. They were all truly surprised and happy to see the little guy again :)

How have I been feeling?? That seems to be a common question I hear all the time...I am slowing down a bit but trying to work through it bc there is so much to do. Last night, NYE, we were supposed to go over our neighbors house to hang with them. Unfort, we never made it there, i felt crappy, run-down and sleepy. I pretty much was falling asleep on the couch at 9pm off and on, i know, REAL sad!!! My hubby was a trooper and I gave him that opportunity to still go over there, i felt really bad to hold him up if he wanted to hang---but he was I think just as tired. We headed to bed around 10:30 and slept almost 12 hours---trying to get that sleep now!!!

I had to take my rings off last week, starting to get sausage fingers! My feet are usually a bit puffy by the end of the night but not overly swollen. OH! And i failed my 1 hour glucose test at the 28 week appt so i had to take the dreaded 3 hour test...I was REALLY hoping to pass as the holidays are not so fun without an ounce of sugar!!! I only failed the one hour by a small margin, my sugar was 133 and the cut-off was 129 .Thankfully i passed the 3 hour "with flying colors" as the doc described it :) I am still trying to watch some of the foods i am eating, like, i am not eating a bagel a day like i was---opps!

WOW, it's really been awhile since i last updated things...Oh, this Saturday, a friend from high school, Heather is coming over to take belly pics of me. She has her own photography business---you should check out her website!

I think that is about all for now! Jason and I are looking forward to meeting this guy in less than 2 months! I will continue to post belly pics as we take them :)

Hope everyone has a Happy and Healthy 2009 :)
