37 Weeks

Today I had my weekly Doctor check up! So I'm at 37 weeks and only 3 weeks to go! Its all so exciting to be almost done. So according to the Dr I'm already 2 cm dialated which is really good, since I have been experiencing contractions the past couple days & extreme backaches, not to mention getting close to no sleep. He also guessed she'd be about a 6 lb baby & I'd have a fast labor since I'm already dialating & my pregnancy has been really good -not to mention I've only gained 15 lbs, which is great for 1st time mommy.

So even though I'm only 37 weeks it is typical for babies to come sooner than the due date of 40 weeks, so I can only keep my fingers crossed for baby to come early!

Oh and I've got to say Dana is so cute, he is so excited to be daddy & to for her to come out that he was giving her belly kisses & talking to her today it was so cute! Anyway I'll keep everyone posted as soon as I hear or feel anything new. For now here's some pics of my current baby.

Baby Shower!

On Sunday my mom & Dana threw me a baby shower it was so much fun- especially with the games. We got whole bunch of clothes, a couple bags of diapers, blankets, the whole works! Here are some pics from the shower.

Baby

5 Weeks to go! Oh my goodness I am so excited to be done with this whole pregnancy thing, even though maybe when she's born I might want her back in my belly-- I don't know how much longer I can take with backaches and heartburn, it really is insane. I think I've had back aches for the past 3 months- every single day & the heartburn is the worse; waking up in the middle of the night with heartburn feels so gross! Anyway point being is I'm done being preggers & excited to be official mommy!

So the past couple weekends I've been trying to piece together Kailani McKenzie's room! I've still got a couple things to go but its all turning out really cute!

Happy New Year 2009!

This year we spent New Years at my parents house, it was a little bit different because we didn't spend it with my whole extended family, but it was still fun!

We spent the night playing games, listening to music & watching the kids dance! It was pretty laid back but totally worth it. Oh also I joined Dana earlier that day to get a haircut & decided I needed a change as well so I chopped off my hair even more! It looked weird since i'm not used to short hair like this but its so much easier to manage. Anyway I don't really have a new year resolution this year besides getting this baby out of my belly in the next 7 weeks & losing weight. Anyway Happy New Years!
