3D pictures and update!

We had a great doctor's appointment today at 36 weeks! Here are a few pictures- she looks so much like Addam already!



Already sticking out her tongue!







Aubrey is measuring small (5lbs yesterday). That puts her in the 12th percentile for 36 weeks. My doctor said everything else looks good. Her growth is all proportionate and fluid levels are really good. He said these things mean she is growing and developing on time, she just is a small baby. They want me to come back for another growth ultrasound at 38 weeks. If she is still measuring small, they will probably induce me at 39 weeks because she may be out of room and that's why she isn't gaining enough weight. I'm already making a little progress (fingertip dilated, 60% effaced) so it looks like all the Braxton Hicks contractions I've been having are doing their job!

A few pictures from my shower!

Here are just a few of the wonderful pictures from my shower! We are so thankful for everyone who came and made it an awesome day! I still can not believe how generous every was! Aubrey is already so spoiled!!

This is the adorable name banner Cortney made. I saved it and I'm hoping to find a theme that it matches and reuse it for her 1st birthday party! Because I know if I tried to make something like this, it would not be near as cute. :)



Here is Aubrey's diaper cake! The inside is filled with bath goodies and TONS of diapers of coarse! All the bath toys and the topper are a cute sea theme. I also really like the pacifiers Kim added on her sister recommendation. Now let's just hope Aubrey likes them too!






I am kind of obsessed with this quilt! Thank you so much Cortney! I could have never done this and I love it! Now Aubrey just needs to get here to use it!




Everything is going well so far. This week the email I get said Aubrey is between 19-22 inches long and 6 lbs! That seems so big! But I guess we're in the home stretch now. Next Monday we have a growth ultrasound where they guess her approximate weight. I can't wait to see how big our little bean is!

35 weeks pregnant, 35 days to go!!

I've been terrible about updating! Sorry, work has been crazy busy on top of trying to get everything completed before I go out on maternity leave. Here are a few pictures from our maternity shoot. Thank you Ashley and Alison for getting some great shots! I'm so happy with the way they turned out!







How far along? 35 weeks pregnant, 35 days until my due date- Wahoo! Almost there!

Total weight gain/loss: I was going to stop answering this question, but oh well. I'm up about 37 pounds. Everyone keeps telling me I'm "all baby". If you poke my tummy, you'd probably believe that- it's hard as a rock! Just don't poke my butt! :)

Stretch marks? Thankfully- still none! Which is amazing because I feel huge!
Sleep: It's hard to get a "good" nights sleep when you're up ever 2 hours to pee. But over all, I guess it could be worse.

Best moment this week: This week was very productive. We made our last big trip to Babies R Us and got everything else we needed from the registry, we chose a pediatrician, installed the car seat base into my Jeep, washed all her clothes and blankets, and Addam put together the swing! We are so ready to have our little girl!

Movement: She is so strong now! I swear sometimes I think she's trying to exit via Alien style from my belly button! She has also recently found my ribs and unfortunately does not realize these are not her new toy. She is very active but I can't complain, I love knowing she's healthy!

Food cravings: No crazy cravings, I'm just a bottomless pit. I can't eat a whole lot in one sitting because I run out of room but give me another 2 hours and I'll be starving again!!

Gender: GIRL! Her name is Aubrey Morgan Lewis.

Labor Signs: None yet, but soon hopefully! I am considered "full term" at 37 weeks, that's only 2 weeks away. And anytime she is ready to come after 37 weeks, mama will be ready! :)

Belly Button in or out? Amazingly, still in! Hopefully it stays that way!

What I miss: My wedding bands :( They have been tight for a few weeks but Saturday night I could barely get them off. Today is my first day at work without them and I feel like my hand is naked!
What I am looking forward to: Meeting Aubrey!

Milestones: Next week we have a growth ultrasound to find out a guess on how big she will be! I can't wait to find out!
