32 Weeks Down...8 to go



Jordan weighs about 3 1/2 - 4 lbs and is about 18 inches long if she were all stretched out. My handy dandy preggo app tells me she's as big as a honeydew and that she still will double her weight before the big day. Who's job was it, anyway, to go around the grocery store and pick fruits and vegetables that resemble the size of growing babies? 

 

I used to think I felt her all the time, but now there is no denying that she is running out of room in there and is working on stretching my stomach out as far as she can as she pushes against my ribs, then the right side, then the left side, and settles back on my ribs. She likes it there...a lot!

 

 

We have started going to the doctor every 2 weeks and will start going every week in about a month. I asked my doctor if it was time to start talking about labor, and she said we could wait a few more weeks. I was relieved! I'm sure that is something most women like to be prepared for and probably do a lot of research and classes...not this one. As big of a planner as I am, my 'birth plan' is pretty darn simple, get Jordan here...safe. Period. That's all I know. I'll come in, you just tell me what to do...and don't forget the epidural.

Chris' first "daddy job" was painting his little girl's nursery. For his first painting job, I'd say he did pretty darn good. Next is trying to figure out how to hang a chair rail around the room to add a little extra pop.
 

 

After sitting in every glider/ottoman combination in the greater Woodlands area, we finally found one we liked and ordered it just in time for it to be here before Jordan makes her big debut (we hope anyway). Jordan's Gamma and I also bought a dresser at our favorite antique store that we will attempt to paint pink in the next couple of weeks. Hopefully the 'after' picture will show that we were successful.

 

 

 

Jordan's first baby shower is this weekend in College Station with all of her mom's friends, Gamma's friends and lots of family. I am excited to celebrate with all of my favorite women and am so thankful for all of their love and support for Jordan. She is already one very loved little girl. :)

 

This one's just for fun! 

 

 

Embracing our last few months of semi-normalcy with an old fashioned date night!
