Dallas Baby Shower

I have the most amazing friends! On June 19th, I was given the most beautiful baby shower! It was so wonderful! Hunter got some amazing gifts and the pictures will speak for itself.

The hostesses included, Mary Marshall Martinez, Jenny Merkle, Mysti Stewart, Beth Reynolds, (not pictured) Melissa Windham, Lindsay Hundley, Whitney St. Pierre, and Zoey Devall. I felt so loved! It took place at Jenny Merkle's house at 2:30pm and her house looked so nice. It is really wild that I had a baby shower and got so much stuff for baby Hunter! He is set! My sister came in with the kiddos and my cousin Jill brought her girls.

My aunt Carol, Nana and the Auntie were also here to help me celebrate. I had a great group of girlfriends that came to help celebrate too! Hunter is one lucky little guy!

Week 29 Appointment

I had another Ultrasound to see our little man and it was really fun to see him again! Dr. Trimmer went through everything in detail with us again and he thinks everything is great. He didn't even schedule a follow-up appointment. Hunter is looking great, measuring 3.5 lbs and even had chubby cheeks on the video. He was extremely active and moved the entire ultrasound. Dr. Trimmer said we are measuring right on time! Very exciting! Hunter was breech at this appointment. And since he was so active, we didn't get very many pics of him. I have one, but you can hardly tell what he looks like to post.
The next day, I went to see Dr. Culpepper for my sugar test. I still haven't heard from her, so I am optimistic everything came back normal. The funny thing is, Hunter had flipped over night and he was head down at my next day appointment. I told Dr. Culpepper and she said we won't look at his position until 35-36 weeks since he moves so often. Christopher and I have so many names for him now. Kung fu fighter, Karate Kid, ET, etc. He is our little alien:) At my appointment, my blood pressure was normal and my weight is great. I gained 2 lbs since last month. I am still feeling pretty good, but I am writing this at 30 weeks and I am starting to get a little tired and my back is started to hurt more. However, I am trying to stay cool and feeling pretty good! I go back to Dr. Culpepper on July 1st. We are starting our 2 week appointments now. It's getting close!

Man, I am feeling BIG!!!

Well, it wasn't until the past few days that I started feeling HUGE! I guess the heat doesn't really help, but I feel like I am waddling more, short of breath, and am definitely going to the bathroom more now! The new baby bump picture will show you what I mean. I told Christopher today that I feel like I am a torpedo! It's crazy to see on pictures. I am really carrying him high. I am sure I will know when he drops because it looks so high right now.

Our next appointment is on Wednesday (ultrasound) and Thursday (appointment). I am doing the sugar test on Thursday, so wish me luck that I pass.

This weekend was really fun! We had a cookout with our neighbors, the Pickles (who have 2 year old twins) and then kept Parker and Eloise Pittman for the day today.



We were surrounded by kids and it was really fun! We are getting our practice, so if you want a babysitter, you better call now, because it won't be long until Baby Hunter is here and we have our hands full for a little while.

I will post more on the appointments, but wanted to post something because I want you see how HUGE I am getting! XOXO

May Check-up

Well, I had another ultrasound on May 19th with Dr. Trimmer the Perinatal specialist. WE are so spoiled because when we have ultrasounds with him they are really long and detailed. I think we got to see him for about 30 minutes this time. What a cool experience to see your baby moving and swallowing! The ultrasound went great and Dr. Trimmer thinks that Hunter is about 13 inches and 2 lbs already. We are still tracking for September 3rd, so I'm hoping this little guy wants to stay around a 7lb baby. Let's pray! I am also doing well with my vitals. I had a normal blood pressure and my weight is right on track. I am scheduled to have another ultrasound (he wants to keep an eye on my fluids)on June 16th. I will have my sugar test on June 17th. I am a little nervous about that test. I heard if you fail you have to go back for a 3 hour test and the test your blood every 30 minutes. Let's pray I pass the test!! I am still doing my walking and have started yoga twice a week to keep active an my circulation going. I have heard nothing but great things about staying active helps with delivery and recovery. I am going to do what I can for a healthy pregnancy.(of course for the exceptional cookie and ice cream)


Christopher and I have been so busy getting the house ready for baby to arrive. What a great excuse to clean house and clean closets. I guess you could say I am "nesting" now! I want this house spotless. We almost have the babies room together and it is looking so cute. I will post pics the next posting when I get the bedding all together. It turned out so cute. Here is a mock up picture of the bedding:

I am trying to stay calm right now too because my company is having a huge layoff and we find out on Monday if we have jobs. I am optimistic, but I know anything could happen, so please say some prayers for us during this time.
I will post more pics soon of his room. Here is the last ultrasound pic on the main page. Check out the addition to my baby bump!
