Showered with LOVE!

On Saturday my Mom, sisters, BFF Jaime and Bible Study girls threw me an awesome diaper shower! With Trace coming in a few weeks we need all the diapers and supplies we can get! Everyone did a phenomenal job and really exceeded any expectations I had! I love that we have so many great and creative friends. Trace and Trenton are very lucky to be surrounded by so many people that love them!

This was the Diaper/Don’t Say Baby game! Amy Crisp you have a creative talent that is beyond belief! Picture 022

The cake my sister Laurie made. As you can see there is a lot of camo at this shower which is the primary pattern in his nursery!Picture 019

Pregnancy Highlights

How Far: 34 Weeks

Size of Baby: He is about 18 inches long and weighs about 4.75 lbs. He is the size of an average cantaloupe.

Total Weight Gain: 23 lbs

Gender: Boy! Trace Daniel

Maternity Clothes: That is all I can wear at this point and even those are getting uncomfortable. Would like to go naked at all times!

Movement: Trace moves all day long! I feel like he is doing half flips and elbows are flying everywhere! Sometimes the kicks take my breath away (which scares Gene)!

Food Cravings: Chocolate Icecream with fresh strawberries

What I Miss: Cool weather! Sitting comfortably! Seeing my feet! Not having to pee every time I stand up! Being able to breath!

Sleep: I sleep for a couple hours at a time, wake up hot, go potty, back to sleep. Nice routine to get me ready for a newborn!

Best "Big Brother" Moment: Trace got an elephant that plays music from one of the showers. Well Trenton carries it around and calls him Baby Trace. He even showed me how to hold him gently and feed him his bottle! He is going to be an awesome Big Brother!

What I am looking forward to: My shower from friends

Doctor Appointment: 9/22 went well. Had to sit in the waiting room for an hour while Dr. McBride delivered a baby! BP looks great, weight looks great and Trace is growing right on schedule!

Next Doctor Appointment: October 6, 2010 (Doctor said to have my bags in the car just in case) ONLY 21 DAYS TO GO AT THIS APPOINTMENT!!
