36 weeks: Doc update
Today we are 36 weeks! We have had a very eventful week with baby Ella. Went to the doc last Wed and I had high blood pressure so they thought I might be getting preclamsia. Went back today for a check up and my blood pressure was much better! Last Wednesday we also found out that baby Ella is already about 7.5 lbs and over 19 inches long so she is going to be a big baby, which we assumed. Doc says I need to be out of work as of now to rest at home so baby Ella stays in alittle longer. We want her to stay in at least until Friday so we will be full term, maybe even alittle longer. I'm alittle nervous they said they gain a pound a week so she will be over 8 lbs when she does come if its in the next two weeks! Oh well God is in control and knows exactly what is already going to happen. I just need to remember that. So bed rest for now and it also give us time to get the rest of the stuff we still need and for Matt to finish building her cradle, which is almost done!! I do want to say I have the best family, friends, coworkers,and students! I have had calls, facebook messages, text messages, and gift from everyone! From students bringing me gifts to everyone checking on me, I feel so blessed and overwhelmed with joy. I know that Ella is going to be showered with love when she does get here. I think we might have a record of people at the hospital!

35 weeks pics and updates
Today we are 35 weeks! 5 or hopefully less to go! We go to the doctor on Wednesday for our last sonogram to measure how big she is and make sure she is the right way, which Im almost positive she is. My bladder could tell you that! Doc says if everything goes ok and she doesnt come early we can induce on November 24, so she will definitely be on call and will deliver her! So nice of her! We have my work shower next Thursday, which is also very exciting! This weekend is packing weekend, Im packing our bags for the hospital we we will be ready to rock and roll whenever needed.

34 weeks Update!
Well Friday was 34 weeks, that means about 6 weeks to go. Although I would be totally fine with alittle less! As long as she cooks until 37 Im happy. Im so, so, so ready for her to be here. I first and foremost am looking forward to her of course, but Im not gonna lie, Im ready to be comfortable again! Ella is constantly active and growing like a weed! You know your big when people say, "wow, your big, when are you due?" Yes I'm pretty huge, but feel so blessed that it's all baby! Good job mom and Ella! We go to the doc on Monday to see how much she has grown the past 2 weeks, so that's always exciting! This Tuesday is our last class! I can't believe we are already done, I feel like we just started. But I'm very excited to be done because that means we are closer to the day! Everytime we go, we have to stop by the nursery to look at the sweet new babies, and one day soon mine will be in there :) We got our glider this weekend and our stroller! Im so excited about both of those items, I'm truly feeling like a mom! Well I will have pics up soon of the belly and doc update! That's all for now!

Wow! What a Weekend of Events!
This past week has been crazy and exciting! We had a 4D sonogram done and it was absolutely amazing! I wasnt going to get one done but when we got there I just had too and Im so glad that I did. It was absolutely breathtaking to see my daughter.
We also had our first baby shower this weekend! Thanks to my best friend Sarah Martin, Ashley, Lindsay, and my wonderful mother and mother inlaw. It was far more than I could ever ask for. Ella got a bunch of super cute clothes! So we are extremely blessed!

32 Week Update :)
Well today is actually 32.3 weeks for us! Here are some pics as of now.
Went to the doctor on Monday for our check up and everything is great! She is measuring right on perfectly, cant ask for anything better. Well.. she could come just a tad early :) But probably wont. Oh well. We just cant wait for her arrival and seeing her sweet face. My feet have decided to just stay swollen now a days so thats not all that fun, but hey it's just part of it. We have our Maternity pics on Sunday with Laura and Donna, Im so excited to see what creative things they are going to do! This week we have already had infant safety class, which was actually really good and tomorrow we have breastfeeding class. Im actually really excited about that one because that's what Im most nervous about! Ashley took some fun pics of us this past weekend for some little surprise she is making for my shower, which is this weekend!! Here are a few favs.
