moving right along

Things seem to be moving along smoothly and at a relatively steady space. Went to the doctor's today and it was the same old song and dance. Weight is good. Blood pressure is fine. Baby's heartbeat is in the 140's. I'm measuring at 34 cm and I'm 33 weeks and a few days. According to the doctor, "Perfect.". The only odd thing the doctor asked me today is what I had for lunch. Burger, fries, and really sweet lemonade. She laughed and said, "Ahh, it was the lemonade." My sugar levels were up +2 in my urine sample for the first time ever. So, everything is good—back in two weeks.

We are getting more prepared for baby's arrival too. We finished up the last of our childbirth classes and the nursery is looking more and more like a baby's room. We still don't have any bedding or lots of the essentials, but the shower is just 3 weeks away and we're hoping for lots of goodies from all our family and friends. We were surprised by the UPS man last week with a huge package on our front porch. Josh was home when it was dropped off with just a ring of the doorbell as an indicator. It was the stroller from our registry sent to us by my Aunt and Uncle in California. Yay! Josh put the box in the nursery and wanted me to find it on my own but was too excited and told me just moments after I got home from work that day. It is so awesome.

Lots of storage areas and really roomy looking.



Check out how much the monkey likes it.
The closet is starting to fill up, as is the dresser. It wasn't that long ago when we just had two onesies hanging in the closet. I've washed and put away all the clothes, blankets, bibs, washcloths, and anything else that would come in contact with the baby's skin. I went out and bought 20 baby hangers and if I plan to hang up anymore clothes we get I'll need to go buy more.
I'll be posting more belly pictures soon and when I do we'll talk all about the lack of room in the womb for this little baby. Until then, we're just taking it day-by-day.

Great minds must think alike! It looks like you got the stroller that goes with the car seat we got. Same pattern and everything. Hope you enjoy it and that baby has nothing but smooth rides in his lovely stroller!

Where did you find hangers small enough? I'm having issues with that somehow.

frog princess—It's an Aura Elite.

bents—That's funny. I originally had the storage area label as "brownie storage".

chardy may—We got the hangers at Babies R Us. They sell them in packs of 10 for like $1.50.

That's a nice stroller. You are going to have to take lots of walks now, right?
