36 weeks and last Bama game

Well, Davis and I have reached 36 weeks so we are on the less than a month count down! I think we are both ready for him to arrive- he is clearly out of room taking it out on my ribs and my bladder in an effort to make some more room! Poor baby has limited space since i am so short waisted. I just cannot wait to meet my little man:)

I went for my now weekly checkups on this past tuesday and still everything seems fine. I had a little blood pressure scare though. It was pretty high on Tuesday and so they wanted me to come back Thursday to have it re-checked. It was back down and nothing to worry about- we have been joking that I will still worked up from the Alabama/ Tennessee game! If the last minutes of that game did not put me in labor then Davis may never come!!!

Below are pictures to commemorate my last home bama game. I decided going to the LSU game at 38+ weeks pregnant November 7th may not be a real good idea. It was not a pretty win but ROLL TIDE!!

Baby shower and 35 weeks

Some of my sweet friends gave me a baby shower last Sunday! The shower was at the Major's beautiful home in Pike Road in which my very good friend Abbie Lee designed for her parents- so neat! There were several babies there and many of my friends are also pregnant or just had a baby. It is such a fun and special time in all our lives and I am so glad I can share it in with all of them. We have many years of fun ahead of us raising our children together and it could not be a better group of girls- love you all!

Below are some pictures from the shower-
Hostesses- these girls are such wonderful friends:)

Ok- this one SuSu took without my consent but since I did not take a belly picture at 35 weeks, what the heck. Very nice profile picture of the belly- if you can't laugh at yourself...

34 weeks!

We seem to be inching closer and closer to our little man's arrival! I went to the doctor again this week but the appointment was pretty uneventful. Everything still seems fine and I have another appointment on October 20th, then I start going once a week. I have gotten very uncomfortable and very limited in what I can physically do. If I drop something on the floor these days and no one is around it almost makes me want to cry- I stand there and think for a minute "how bad do I need that?" I also have had heartburn very, very bad and Zantac and tums were not phasing it! But Dr. Dupre put me on Nexium and that seems to be giving me some relief.

I also had a prenatal massage this week because I have had some swelling and my back has been really bothering me. I highly recommend them to any pregnant woman. This girl knew exactly what is sore on a pregnant body and spent a lot of time on my feet and ankles and back! And the best part is the cutout pillow that allows a 34 week pregnant woman to lay on her stomach! I used to be a stomach sleeper and this was so wonderful because it has been since April that I have been able to lay on my stomach. Davis seemed to enjoy it too- he did not move all that much during the massage:)

Below are pictures at 33 and 34 weeks pregnant- the belly has taken over:)

Got the nursery bedding!

We still have more to do but the room is starting to actually look like a nursery! We are still waiting for the shelves of the hutch to come in and we have lots to hang on the walls but here are a few pictures of the bedding and drapes that we got this week. I will post more pictures when the room is finished but I am so excited about how everything is coming together!
