33 Weeks

Well, we've made it to 33 weeks! 47 days left to go! A girl at work said her first was born at 37 weeks on the full moon...the next full moon is April 18th, when I'm exactly 37 weeks. Just saying...

In other news...it's official! Delan is now an Anderson! His court date was March 22nd and all has been approved! Now we have to go through the process of changing his name everywhere, social, license, bills etc. but it's done! I'm so happy he was able to get that done, he's only been talking about it for years!

The baby shower was a huge success! Mom and Sara did a great job organizing it! We had a great turnout! Even had friends and family from out of town! I have a work shower that Danielle is putting together this Friday...yay!  Here are some pics from the day.

I'm starting to get the uncomfortable late pregnancy stuff, swollen face, feet, hands...now I have carpal tunnel or something going on in my right hand. The doctor suggested I get a brace to sleep in and to help throughout the day.  My little salsa dancer is busy practicing moves all day and night, I can't wait until we start dance lessons! LOL. 

Oh yeah, my doctor did some feeling of my stomach and we're pretty sure the baby is head down now. I have a big knot in the front of my stomach and that's the bum.  I also asked her if she can tell how big the baby is now. She said that I'm measuring on target and since neither Delan or myself were big babies, she doesn't anticipate this baby being too big. However, because I'm small, she's going to do an ultrasound toward the end to get a better idea and make sure it's not too big to fit through my pelvis. At least I'll get to see the baby again!

Until next time!

32 Weeks!

I can't believe I'm 32 weeks today! 56 days to go...but who's counting? I feel like just the other day I was hollering about being 16 weeks. We're getting into the home stretch!  I'm starting to get excited and nervous all at the same time! I wonder what kind of parent I'll be, can I handle delivery, am I gonna go after my due date, and just plain old "are we ready yet?!".  I'm also stressed at work because there isn't really a plan to backfill my work yet, and we don't have a lot of time left to figure that out.

I know we'll be fine but all this anticipation is killing us! Delan was super excited in the beginning and now has fizzled out because he had to wait too long lol. I on the other hand was kinda so-so in the beginning and now I'm getting excited because I see the end is near!

I'm now starting to swell up...my rings don't fit, my rain boots don't fit around my leg, I just feel plain old puffy. I'm starting to get pretty uncomfortable. 

On another note, the shower is this weekend! I'm super excited about that! All of my family from Pittsburgh is coming into town. I'm excited to show them my Columbus life! I also have some friends coming from out of town. It'll be so nice to see everyone! I also have one scheduled at work for March 25th.

I have a doctor appt tomorrow so we'll see if anything new arises. I'm going to see if she can tell me about how big the baby is now and the position of the baby at all. I have something going on in my right rib but I'm not sure if it the head or butt!

Here's this week's belly shot!

Until next time!
