How far along are you? 34 weeks
When are you due? October 26th ~ 39 days to go, according to lilypie.com
What are you having? A girl!
Do you have any names picked out? Yes and No. We have a list of a few names, but none that we are set on (Correction ~ none that we totally agree on.) We will have to narrow it down when she is born. Don't tell Rob, but I'm secretly hoping he'll break down and let ME choose her name ;)
How are you feeling? I am feeling great! My belly is getting big, but otherwise I have no complaints. Okay - other than my ankles which are CONSTANTLY swollen. I guess that's what being on your feet ALL day will do to a pregnant woman! I think I'll be wearing flip flops until November because God knows I can't squeeze my feet into regular shoes (at least not during the week!)
How are you sleeping? As good as I can! I think the long days at school help me crash at night! I also sleep with multiple pillows to help keep comfortable.
Are you nesting? Yes- not only at home, but at school too! It is awful! I feel like I can't ever keep up with wanting things to be immaculate around the house and in my classroom ~ attemping the impossible, I guess. I'm probably driving Rob even more crazy than normal when I flip out over some mail laying on the island, a dish or two in the sink, or some socks laying on the floor! What can I say?? ;) I'm getting ready for baby!
How is Rob feeling? He thinks he's gained sympathy weight. I think that's great! Then we can shed the pounds together post-baby!! Otherwise, he's doing great and getting excited for baby's arrival! He's been extremely supportive through this entire journey ~ always making me laugh when I just want to cry, rubbing my back when it's been a long day, and waiting on me when I whine about my swollen ankles. However, I think he may have a heart-attack if she gets any more clothing! I think he'll be surprised at how many outfits she will actually go through in a week! Oh - and the whole dirty diaper thing has him totally freaked! I say he'll learn quickly and it won't be nearly as bad as he thinks it will be. Okay- it will totally be just as bad as he thinks it will be, but I think he'll handle it much better than he thinks.
Will you notify people when you go to the hospital? Don't worry ~ Rob will be updating facebook regularly on our progress! My friend, Jenny, has also graciously volunteered to update my blog as soon as there is any news (Right, Jenny?)
All in all things are going wonderfully! We finally picked out our crib bedding which I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! I will post pictures as soon as I have the nursery set up. It is currently cluttered with gift bags, tissue paper, baby clothing, baby suppplies, baby toys, and many other things baby (ALL of which Annie thinks belong to her, I might add). I am beginning to feel ready ~ ready because we have all the "stuff," ready to be done being pregnant, ready to have my ankles and feet back, ready to wear my old clothes again, ready to meet our baby girl, and ready to watch Rob fall more in love with our daughter than he could ever imagine!
Next up... pack our hospital bags and WAIT!
Here are a few pics of our first baby shower, thanks to the Liddell/Flynn families, friends, and a WONDERFUL Mother-In-Law who organized the entire thing!!
