Growing feet?

I have always heard women talk about how their feet grow during pregnancy, and I am left to wonder if this will happen to me!  As of now, week 31, I have had no foot growth.  But I wonder when it happens, to the people it happens to?  My grandmother ended up with a size 11 (I think) after having all three of her children...think of how expensive it would be to have to but a whole new closet full of shoes!  UGH...

Baby Room Completed (but not decorated)





Baby room transformation and week 30 belly





The baby's room is complete!!!

Brian finished as much of the baby's room today as he was able!  There are a few pieces of trim that are missing-and we are waiting for the re-use center to get more matching pieces to finish the job.  He worked incredibly hard and the end result is fantastic!!  Unfortunately, the colors aren't great because of lighting, but you get an idea of how good the room looks.  We also put together the crib, which turned out to be surprisingly easy and quick!  The front railing does not lower, which is kind of a bummer, but not the end of the world.  The crib looks great!!!  Week 30 is going well-I have had a good week+ of being sick.  First it was the flu-throwing up pregnant is one of the worst things I could imagine.  After the flu came the deep, painful cough!  Now the cough is almost gone and I am wondering if I have a sinus infection!!!  UGH...hopefully I will be all well soon.  Our next appt. is Monday March 9th-the 32 week appt.  From then on, we go every two weeks until 36 and then every week until the end!  I am hoping the end is somewhere around week 37 or 38, but obviously I have no control.  Enjoy the pics!!

Baby room transformation




Baby room transformation cont'd





Week 28

We survived Aruba!  I had a lot of anxiety going out of the country at 27 weeks, however baby girl was SO active, all my anxieties disappeared the first day.  We really enjoyed our relaxation-beach, pool, just reading and enjoying the warm weather.  

I had my week 28 appt. yesterday and did the glucose screening.  I chose the orange flavor drink and actually enjoyed it!!  It was almost like orange pop!!!  A few minutes after guzzling the beverage, I got dizzy.  Apparently 50 Grams of sugar in 1 minute can do that to a person!  I passed the screening with no problem, so I am relieved that I don't have to fast and do the 3 hour screening.  The doc. said everything looks great and I go back in 4 weeks.

The baby has started preferring one side of my belly or another.  She lodges herself, usually on the right, and my belly gets so hard in that one spot, that is almost becomes hard to move.  It is such a weird sensation...

We are getting more and more excited to welcome her into the world...and can't believe there are only 12 weeks left (hopefully at the MOST)!!!

I am not very blog savvy-and am trying to find a way to put up the baby room pics!!!
