Update on Jack's room

We got so much fun stuff at the baby shower last weekend it has taken all week to wash and organize it. The night of the shower I came home and washed the sheets because I was dying to get the crib bedding in and I finally got to wash all of Jack's clothes today. It is crazy to think that in 6 weeks he will be wearing some of those clothes. Gabe and I want to go out shopping next weekend to get everything else we need for Jack. It might be wishful thinking that he will come early...Gabe and I both went past our due dates. :(  I'm thinking Jack might not want to come out on November 9th...

The big Grover in the corner of the crib was Gabe's. He took that thing everywhere with him! Ceci passed it on to us so Jack could have it. :)

Baby Shower

Just had my baby shower hosted by my good friend Cari Bauer. It was a very nice shower filled with family, friends and lots of food (thanks Ceci!). I was a little hesitant when it came to having the shower...I'm not a fan of being the center of attention and I really don't like baby shower games. Cari did a good job of keeping the games to one easy word scramble game. I was not going to play the chocolate bar in the diaper game!! We got lots of great gifts and spent the rest of the night washing sheets, getting Jack's clothes separated and setting up his room. It seems so crazy that he will be here in 50 days! We are definitely more excited now that we have more goodies for Jack! If you have pictures from the shower please send them to me...I only took one picture. :(  I will post updates on how cute Jack's room looks now.

32 week appointment

Gabe and I went in for our 32 week appointment today and everything seems to be perfect--I even lost a pound! (Don't ask me how that happened!) We go back in 3 weeks for our last ultrasound which I am looking forward to. I don't understand why we don't get an ultrasound between week 20 and week 35. I would like to see what he looks like in that 15 week time period! Oh well...From the 35 week appointment on I have to go in every week. When I heard that it really hit me--Jack is coming soon! I know it sounds dumb, but it just doesn't seem real most of the time! I am very excited about what is to come... :)

2nd Annual Terry Bourland Golf Tournament

It was an early Sunday morning, but it was well worth it. Gabe and I and some friends participated in the 2nd Annual Terry Bourland Golf Tournament. Last year the tournament raised $10,000 to be put towards an engineering scholarship at ASU and this year we topped $12,000! Cari, Joy and I followed the boys (Gabe, Craig, James, and Scott) around a few holes. It was fun to watch them hit a great drive or sink a tough putt. As the temperature got hotter we decided to meet the boys back in the air conditioning! All in all it was a great day and Gabe and I took a much needed nap when we got home. :)

Nightmares/Calf cramps

Each night it is a given that I will either have a nightmare about giving birth or wake up with a cramp in my left calf. I have had 3 nightmares so far about giving birth...the first was about me having a C-section through my thigh (don't ask) and I was upset about the scar going across my leg. Another nightmare was I didn't know when I was going into labor until my sister called and told me. Then I couldn't find Gabe to go with me to the hospital. I know these weird dreams are common, but I still have 8 weeks to go! The calf cramping is definitely more frequent than the nightmares (along with having to pee at 11 pm and 1 am). I am normally able to pull on my toes and not make too much noise so Gabe doesn't wake up. The cramps exhaust me though because it takes forever to fall back asleep and then my calf hurts for the rest of the day.  I am so ready for all of this to be over with!! Come on November 9th!!! :)

31 weeks...almost

In a couple of days I will be officially 31 weeks along. However, during the week I am normally too tired to post or take pictures so I figured I would do it tonight. Gabe was nice enough to take both a side and front picture of me so you could really see how big I am. Thanks, I think... As of September 9th I will officially have 2 months left before Jack should be making his arrival! My countdown is in the single digits and I couldn't be happier.

I really don't know how my skin can stretch any further... According to everyone I talk to the last 2 months is when I will get the biggest too. I can't even imagine!!

Game Day!

ASU football starts today! My boys have their ASU gear on and we are ready to watch the Devils win! Hopefully it is a good season because Jack has several ASU onesies ready for game day. :)
