33 Week check-up

I had my 33 week prenatal appointment today, and it went well. Blood pressure is still great, especially considering how swollen my poor feeties are:( Still getting stuff ready for Peanut's big debut, and as of right now I have decided that we are keeping Peanut's bedroom door closed, since I discovered that one of my bad cats puked in the crib! I definitely don't want the cats in the crib, especially after the baby comes!!!!

In other news, I have Peanut's hospital bag packed and ready to go with an adorable boy's outfit and an adorable girl's outfit. We'll see which one goes back to the store afterwards, lol!

Getting super excited for my baby shower on the 15th, I can't weait to see everyone! I haven't seen most of the family since my wedding in October! So, I am glad for the chance to see everyone. I especially can't wait for Peanut to see what a loving family he is being born into.

Depressing, I have gained 30 lbs so far this pregnancy! Hopefully that means Peanut is healthy... So far he is head down, lets hope he stays that way and the Dr. doesn't have to turn him when I am further along! I am feeling Peanut move so much now, he seems to have hiccups every day, sometimes more than once a day! Yesterday and today it was 3 times a day... Hope he gets some releif from them once he's born, poor kid!

Chad and I are registered for our Childbirth class and Hospital tour, hopefully Peanut won't come before we can attend them! I am looking forward to the childbirth class. I really want to have the baby with no drugs at all and I'm hoping I can learn some techniques to help me avoid the pain meds when I'm in labor. Looking forward to the hospital tour so I can help navigate Chad when it's time for Peanut to arrive. I can't wait, I am so ready to hold him in my arms already!

Got the birth announcements as ready as I can get them, envelopes are addressed and stamped, they are just waiting for baby to get here for a pic on the front card and some stats on the inside. I can't wait to share the good news with all our friends and family!

Well, that's all for now.
Enjoy:)

More nursery pics and week 30 update:)

The crib, I can't wait until Peanut can sleep in it!

The closet is really full! Up on top is a bathtub, extra bedding, a humidifier, diapers, and some bigger sizes of socks and hats and such. On hangers and stacked on the yellow shelf are clothes, sized 0-6 months, I definitely need more hangers! The clothes are gender-specific but will be sorted after Peanut gets here and I know what I need to pack up. Bottom of the yellow shelf has extra books and toys, floor play mat is next to the shelf, and totes hold older sizes of clothes.


The changing table. Top shelf baskets have diapers, hats, and bibs. Lower baskets have extra blankets, more extra blankets, and extra sheets.

The dresser:) 3 drawers, all full, and a door on the right that has socks and shoes in it. Top of the dresser has books on It, and odds and ends that will either go for the car seat (hang toys) or packed until we can use them later.

Top drawer has 0-3 month clothes.

Middle drawer has 3-6 month clothes.

Bottom drawer that has 6-12 month clothes.
Now for the update: Week 30! Chad and I are doing lots of stuff together. We spent the weekend with good friends in Mineral Point, celebrated the Fourth with other friends, then went up to his parents' cabin. Went to the Mallards game last night with friends, and we are going back up to the cabin this weekend!
We are trying to do as much as we can before Peanut gets here, because we are fearing that we won't be able to do anything afterwards, lol!
How am I doing? Oh pretty good, I am back to napping almost every day, and working 3-4 days a week. Days off are spent getting the house put together, and I really am going to get the guest room set today, I really am! My feet get pretty swollen, I'm not a fan of that, but I can't really reach them so no big loss, huh? I guess it's pedicures from now on ;) Next Dr. appt. is next Monday the 13th so I will update more then.
TTFN:)
