doctor's visits for the week

monday's visit to the mfs went well. during the ultrasound, we got to see reese with the hiccups. cutest thing ever! plus, she opened her mouth super wide and stuck out her tongue! and she has at least an inch of hair already!

her cheeks are getting chubbier and chubbier

justin made the ultrasound tech check ONE MORE TIME...just to make sure (and i promise, reese, this will be the only nude photo i ever share of you!!!)...

today, i had my stress test at the ob's office. while i was hooked up to the machine, reese was bouncing around so much that the mid-wife could hear her in the next room! and i haven't gained any weight in a week! wew-hew!

for her majesty

leg warmers

p.s. i've gained 30 pounds.

as promised

reese's crib mobile...

inspired by this and this.

33 week ultrasound

she's absolutely beautiful! justin saw this picture, said 'that's my daughter', and started tearing up...

overdue update

i’ll be 33 weeks pregnant tomorrow. that’s only 6 weeks until reese arrives! i can’t believe this journey is almost over….well, this part of it anyway. i'm really trying to push through the sleepless nights, heartburn, expanding body, clumsiness, restless mind, etc…and enjoy this time because i’ll never get to experience it again.

the nursery is coming along slowly, but surely. i knitted some i-cord ties for the window treatment and i'm almost finished with her crib moblie (pictures coming soon).

i’m going to the doctor twice a week now. i spend one day at the ob’s office doing stress tests and the other day getting to watch reese flop around in my belly at the high risk office. she weighs 4 lbs, 4 oz now, putting her in the 46th percentile...right where we want her to be! i took justin’s stepmom and stepsister to my last visit and i think they thoroughly enjoyed themselves! they got to watch her swallow fluid and pounce around like a rabbit. she’s starting to get chubby cheeks and still has those adorable pouty lips. i love her so much already!
