34 Weeks & Updates

We're so close...I hope!

Life is getting extremely busy and I think this is God's way of preparing us for what is to come very soon! The holidays are almost here and this excites us! Tony is also a really big Christmas fan so it's fun to turn up the holiday music and just be in the season! Here are a few updates:

1. Baby room is nearly complete. We're just lacking a duvet cover, bedskirt, and a bookshelf. I'll try to post pictures soon.

2. Car seat is officially installed in my car. After a sad first time installation where both he and I were convinced she'd go flying at a stop sign break, it is now much safer and ready for her arrival.

3. We celebrate 3 years of marriage on 12/1. I can't believe it's already been 3 years. Time flies when you're having fun!

4. Einstein has been an excellent rest buddy. I'm starting to get really tired at the end of the day but with a long to do list I only break for a little bit. Einstein is right there resting on my lap as we watch stuff on the DVR.

5. Sleep has not been such a relaxing event. Between finding a comfy spot, staying on my side, and having to get up to the restroom it's definitely starting to be a challenge. It's pretty comical how Tony has to tuck me in with pillows behind me before we go to bed. The other night he shoved one so hard behind my back that I almost rolled off the bed! Between that and he having to roll me back on my side mid-night it's definitely awkward and I often laugh as I realize what he's doing. I feel like a beached whale!

6. Emmy is doing great! She's almost 5 pounds and yesterday we went in for a checkup and all looks great. I didn't see my doctor, but I did get to see the P.A. who told me she was pregnant as well. She and I had a fun exchange of how she's feeling at 14 weeks and what I felt at 14 weeks. She also snuck me a quick free sonogram to get a peek at Emmy. We couldn't see much because the machines they have in the exam rooms aren't so fancy, but it was nice to see the big strong body that's been kicking and punching me the past few weeks.

7. Christmas decorations are about to come out! We'll post pics of that too.

Here's a 34 week shot.
