one week left!

i can't believe we only have a week left before we meet reese! i'm so beyond excited and ready! these past few weeks of pregnancy have been challenging. i'm huge, exhausted, and so uncomfortable. my feet and hands are swollen. reese loves to stretch out and kick me in the ribs. i can't bend over without coming close to passing out from lack of oxygen. and i'm just sooooo ready to meet her! so, so ready.

go big girl!

reese weighs approximately 6 lbs, 13 oz now, putting her in the 66th percentile. she's gained over 2 and a half pounds in the last 4 weeks. the ultrasound tech said babies gain about a half a pound a week from here on out, so i'm liable to have an 8 to 8 and a half pound princess! apparently, she also has a 'wide head'. they measured it and remeasured it like 4 times. thanks, nunley family for that!

i can't believe we only have 18 days left!

baby shower

my mom threw me the most fabulous shower over the weekend! it was full of wonderful food, fun games, and great company. i'm forever grateful for all the time and effort she put into the event. it, of course, turned out to be an emotional day for me. the shower was a reminder of just how close i am to having my very own daughter. it's such an overwhelming feeling.

here are some of the special gifts reese received...

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
