It really feels like we are closing in on Cameron's arrival now. It has been a super busy couple of weeks and we have marked a couple of major events off of the pre-Cameron list.
First up, Mr. and Mrs. Nangle. We headed to St. Louis last weekend to celebrate one of my best friend's weddings. We had such a good time celebrating with friends and I could not have been more honored to stand up as Morgan became Mrs. Nangle. Let's hear it for the weird last name club!
The beautiful bride.
Ready to walk down the aisle!
Kevin being a good sport.
Next on the list was my office baby shower. My co-workers were so generous and we were outfitted with plenty of diapers and gift cards among other things to help us prep for baby boys arrival. A big thank you to everyone who had a hand in the event. Kevin and I greatly appreciated it!
Finally, we have our last major delivery for Cameron and my comfort, his super awesome remote controlled recliner from Bedtime Stories. I was not sure when Kevin pointed it out in the store and was sure that the remote control was the only reason he thought it was a good idea, but after a few late night feedings laid back in this bad boy, I am sure I will be thanking him! This thing was worth every penny and it makes me feel like we are really ready for Cam to arrive now that it and his cradle are situated in our bedroom.
We are in our 32nd week now and head back to the doctor next week for a checkup. We will have an ultrasound done to get a better estimate on how developed he is as they believe he is measuring ahead of schedule. I am convinced that they were way off and he will actually be late but that is probably just the optimist in me coming out. We also have to check up on some of my levels as baby boy is literally sucking the life out of his Momma and caused a few problems in the last month. After being put on a moderated rest schedule that included reduced hours at work, no more Crossfit and a specially designed diet I am starting to feel a bit better, but am prepared to ride out whatever Cameron throws at me for these last few weeks.
Onto the FAQ!
How are you sleeping?: If I was sleeping, I would tell you how it felt, but that is just not the case.
What was the best moment this week?: We had a lot of great moments in the last few weeks, but the best was celebrating Morgan and Drew! Their big day was beautiful and the Ool family had a great time.
Do you miss anything?: I miss being able to have a drink with my girlfriends after the wedding. Sparkling grape juice was just not the same. :)
Cravings?: Not much... and it's a good thing now that I am focusing on eating foods that my body will process which are not nearly as exciting as what I would want to eat.
Mood lately?: Kevin and I have a week off leading up to Christmas, so I am really looking forward to that and in a great mood!
What are you looking forward to?: I am just ready to meet our little guy. Now that he is getting so much bigger and I am so much more aware of his presence in there, I am beyond anxious to hold this little person that Kevin and I have been waiting on.
Maternity Clothes?: Bought a couple more tops this week after realizing that even some of the maternity clothes I have are getting tighter... we will see how these last few weeks go.
Stretch Marks?: Nothing yet and hoping it stays that way.
Thanks for reading. Have a great week and a very Merry Christmas everyone!
