Pregnancy countdown

Good news: I am just about a week away from my due date :)) I don't think I have ever been more excited for anything. I would have a countdown chain, but due to the fact that she could come at any time I don't want to get ahead of myself.

Bad news: Baby girl Anderson looks like she is very comofortable and things are progressing slowly so in the words of my doctor, "be mentally prepared for your due date to come and go. Be patient." For a girl who is not very patient this week ( we are guessing we will add on days for baby girl's late arrival. She is just like her mamma, showing up casually late;) ) is going terribly slow.

This pregnancy is coming to an end and as excited as I am to finally get to hold this human being that kris and I get to call our own, I am sad that I won't be able to watch her squirm around in my tummy or be able to just sit and stare. So this last week I am soaking in every second I get to hold my very large-basketball shaped tummy, watch her kick off my phone, bowls, etc.. when I put it on my stomach, and watch my husband's face in awe every time she does a big roll around. Never fails. Sometimes it gets uncomfortable, but this little girl can do anything to my body and I wouldn't change a thing.

This pregnancy has been amazing to me. I have been so lucky to have such an amazing husband/family/ friends to share it with. Without Kris I probably would have been a wreck 99% of the time so I owe him a big big thank you for loving me at my not so loving moments.

Kris and I are both overwhelmed with excitement and can't wait to welcome the third member to our family :)

This very unplanned surprise has turned out to be the biggest blessing in our lives. The man upstairs truly has his own plan for us and even though at times we may not understand, without fail they are the best ones :)

Baby Bump Update

Baby girl at 30 weeks :)

I went to the doctor last week and took the glucose test (really not that bad). She is growing right on schedule (as is her mamas weight plus a little extra on account of the constant sweet tooth) and her little heartbeat was as strong as ever. Things are going great right now and we are having fun watching her squirm and wiggle inside me! I will definitely miss watching my tummy move up and down and grabbing kris's hand so he can feel a kick or two....but 10 WEEKS TO GO!!

Work gets slow so I have turned to online browsing for her... mostly clothes and gear that we still need. I found THE cutest website with baby girl clothes.. kinda pricey so I will rarely be buying anything from here but these are some of my favs:

 All from http://www.zara.com/ in the baby section. LOVE.

A big CONGRATULATIONS to Alyson Storey. She had her baby girl last night and she is absolutely perfect:)

Baby on my mind.

So.. I am coming up on week 30 and can officially say that I am so ready for baby girl to get here. I bet Kris feels the same. Not just so he can hold his daughter, but so everytime I get off the couch or stand up he won't hear a big groan come out of me. Things are coming along and I am feeling more and more prepared to become a mommy. Still have my moments of complete terror of having no clue what to expect, but I like to think it's normal:)

I have the best friends in the whole world who are helping me out on the nursery. Mrs. Brayli Holt and her momma are probably the most talented decorators I know and are working full steam on helpint to transform our dull white room into the perfect place to spend my nights rocking the lil one back and forth. Pictures will come once we get some of the stuff put together and hung up:)

Clothes, flowers, and baby gear: I like to think I have been super good at holding back from not buying everything "girl" I see. I have been told to wait until after the baby shower to see what I need. Well... the baby shower is the 25th and I am so excited to be able to go out after and not be told to wait and see what I need. Odds are the baby won't really care what she is dressed in to begin with, but due to the fact I have no younger siblings, no girl nieces or nephews, and she will be our first... I feel like I can splurge a little and spoil her. Here are a few things I am waiting to purchase:

 (All of these items are compliments of http://www.etsy.com/shop/JamesonMonroe?page=1.) Adorable and not pricey. Will definately be placing a few orders.



 and pretty much anything from this website. http://www.teacollection.com/baby-girl-dresses.

Needless to say baby girl will be dressed nicer than either of her parents. It's a lot easier spending money on the necessities right now so I am hoping for a few things at the baby shower;) I need to get crafty and learn quick how to make flowers because I have a feeling she will be needing alot:)

We have decided on the stroller/car seat ,

Crib,

Bassinet we are using a pack n play by gracco

Changing table we are using an old desk of mine and repainting it and adding a matress. Same thing for a rocker. Like I said above Michelle and brayli are super talented and so they have taken on the rocking chair as a project.

If anyone knows of any stores that have cute/affordable baby clothes feel free to let me know because I would love to venture somewhere new:)
