35/35

Today I am 35 weeks pregnant with 35 days to go until Aug 3rd! Been feeling pretty good but getting tired more easily now. I need to take many breaks while doing certain things. We haven't done much in Bailey's room this week since the glider hasn't arrived yet, so we will arrange things in there once we get that set up...hopefully by Thursday. In the meantime, we have been just cleaning, organizing and making room in the rest of the house. I am also trying to get caught up on some reading before Bailey comes because I know I won't have much time then. I can't believe we have about a month to go, this is crazy! I had a dream last night and Bailey was in it, she had blond hair, bright blue eyes, and the biggest smile...wonder if that's what she will look like.

Here are some pictures of the belly today as well as one of Tucker in his favorite position(because I thought it was a handsome picture of him!).

Tucker doing the superman...

Oh! And an interesting and fun fact that my sister reminded me of...the name Bailey is SOMEwhat in our family down the line. Not really sure the relation, but on my mom's dad's side (my Papa), we are in some way related to James Bailey from Barnum & Bailey. I can't believe I forgot that! I remember my mom telling me I was related to Bailey from Barnum & Bailey when we went to the circus a long time ago, now I just need to dig up some information on that and figure out the relation.

40 days...

Feels like I haven't updated too much, so I will do a quick one today. I am currently 34 weeks and 2 days pregnant! It is crazy to me that she will be considered full term in about 3 weeks. We had a check up yesterday and Bailey decided to curl up in a ball or something because when I was on lying down on my back, my belly was lopsided with a huge mound on my left side. The doctor smiled and kept giggling about it. She said she was pretty sure her head was still down but she could possibly still flip around, I hope not. I go in 2 more weeks, then after that it is every week! So exciting, starting to get nervous since I have so much to do! I have to take so many breaks because even folding laundry makes me tired.

Wes and I got some things accomplished the past few days since I have been on break. We finally purchased our glider! It should be here about Thursday...I can't wait to put it in the room! We also got a little bookshelf for her room. I did her first load of laundry this week and let me tell you...it is way more fun folding and putting away her clothes than my own (I am sure that feeling won't last forever though)! Now we are focusing on organizing the rest of the house while Wes works outside. We had a hole in the backyard for a pond but since we are adding sweet Bailey to our family, we decided to not get the pond going. Instead, he filled it in and is in the process of making a little garden area. When everything is done inside and outside, we will post some pictures!

Showering little miss Bailey!

This past Saturday my friend Melanie put on a shower at her house for us and Bailey. I wanted to do a more laid back shower where Wes could be a part of it, so we made it co-ed. It was nice to see some old friends whom we haven't seen in a long time. My friend Lisa who I pole vaulted with at Cal State Northridge even came with her daughter from Sacramento! I hadn't met her 18 month old daughter yet so that was exciting. It was nice having Wes there so people could celebrate with him, since I got to have my own girls shower in L.A. Here are some pictures of our afternoon.

Bailey's very proud and excited parents!!!

Me and Brandy, who I have been teaching in the same room with for 2 years now...going on 3.

The boys sucking beer out of the baby bottles...Wes won...I am so proud

Opening some gifts....

I read the cards while Wes opened the presents...

This is the diaper cake Melanie made! So cute!

Thanks for a great shower ladies!

Melanie and Gabri, the girls who made this day great!

Today I had my work shower that Brandy and another teacher Brianna put together. I felt overwhelmed with love and support from so many co-workers. Seeing how generous the ladies at work were today made me realize that I have amazing people in my life. Those people being my family, friends, and people I work with. I am truly blessed with all the support everyone has been giving us. It has meant a great deal to us... Bailey is one lucky little girl already!

Tomorrow is my last day with my 1st graders before they move on to 2nd grade, which honestly....I am ready for. I am very much ready for break so I can get the nursery put together and prepare the house for our little bundle of joy! Wes and I are very excited to put our gift cards to use and get ourselves things (I mean Bailey some things) for the nursery, hopefully this coming week! I am glad I will be able to get some rest when I need it so I won't over do myself, like I feel like I have been doing this week. I can't wait to post pictures of a completed nursery! Keep checking for those!

33 weeks and 2 days pregnant... 47 days to go until the due date... and a million things to do. Yikes!

32 weeks and still counting...

We are coming up on 33 weeks (Tuesdays are when the week changes) and I will be done with work! I am playing by ear whether or not I will be working the week before Bailey is due. I am including 2 pictures we took this week. If I wasn't so exhausted from our Reno shower today then I would post shower pictures as well. Keep an eye out for them in the next few days :).

So this picture is of Wes and the diaper bag that our friend Megan got us. He was VERY excited to have his own bag for him and Bailey. I am sure he can't wait to load it with goodies for him and his little girl :).



Me at 32 weeks with Bella and Tucker (and of course Bailey too!)...

Shake, rattle, and roll!

Bailey is getting bigger and I am feeling her more and more. Last night when I was laying in bed watching T.V., Wes had his hand on my belly but had fallen asleep. I could feel her moving and pushing out a lot and then all of a sudden she pushed super hard and rolled a leg or something across my belly. Wes woke up! He looked all startled and asked "Was that HER??" I said yes and he was in awe. I couldn't believe she could wake him up like that, since sometimes I can't get him to wake up by shaking him. It was such a neat moment to see him so excited to feel her so much.

So as I am sitting here playing on the computer Bailey is moving and rolling all around, so I decided to take a video of it and post it on here. She got camera shy because she stopped going so crazy but you can still see her moving around in there :). Enjoy! I will post more if I get a real good one.

31 weeks!

Today we had our last ultrasound and a quick check up with the doctor. Bailey is still a girl (haha)! She is also measuring right on and everything looks great. The tech was trying to get us some great pictures but Bailey kept covering her face. She was trying to sleep so she didn't look so happy. The tech also said she was trying to get a smile out of her so she could put her on the walls in the new ultrasound room. Wes is very proud that she is considered "wall-worthy". It looks like she got Wes' lips, which is what I wanted! She looks like a cutie and we can't wait to meet her in about 9 weeks!! Our next thing on the list is calling a pediatrician.
