31 Weeks Picture

Here is a belly picture at 31 weeks. It's a little blurry but you can see my belly is growing!
I can't believe how much I love this little girl and I can't wait to meet her!!

31 Weeks

Oh my goodness, has it really been four whole weeks since I've updated my blog!?!? Well, let's see here. In the past four weeks baby girl has continued to grow and move and squirm. Scott can feel her moving now very easily. We visited my side of the family for Thanksgiving and it was so exciting to see everyone. My nieces and nephews love my big belly and are so excited for their new cousin to arrive. Little Miss Lily got to see my belly move and she said "the baby's working!" It was the cutest thing.

I had my first of two baby showers last Sunday and it was amazing. My sisters and mom did a great job with the location and the menu and I have to give props to Pere Marquette Catering. Their food and location was out of this world! My sister Julie took tons of pictures and I should have them soon and then I can post them.
I was so happy to see my family and celebrate this little girl with them. Some of my family from Petoskey came down to the shower and it meant so much to me to see them and spend time with them.
We got lots of great stuff including some adorable outfits, the baby bath tub and bath accessories, diapers, a great picture frame, a Magic Bullet baby food making system that I called a 'baby making kit', omitting the 'food' part and getting lots of laughs from everyone at the shower. We also got two adorable cloth baskets filled with goodies; one for mommy and one for baby, and lots of other goodies like an adorable Christmas tree ornament.
My dear mother-in-law came to the shower and drove us across the state for the occasion.

We had our monthly check-up today and mommy and baby are doing great. The midwife said that Baby Girl is now head-down and will probably stay that way. I measured right on track at 31 weeks. We start going every two weeks now.

Scott and I signed up for an online birthing class and we will start taking that soon. My parents are coming to town for the weekend to stay with us to paint the nursery and help out around the house to get ready for Baby Girl's arrival.
