His bedroom is coming along

Catherine was here Monday and Tuesday making the bedskirt. I cried the first time I saw it. With all of the gifts from the shower and the fact that I only have 4 1/2 weeks left, it is hitting me that this is happening whether I'm ready or not.

35 Week Baby Bump

looking at our blog, i noticed that i haven't posted a picture of my belly in a while. i promise to do it tommorrow.

funny

One of the books I've been reading lately, "The Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy", had a quote that I had to share - it so perfectly describes what I'm going through right now. The author describes her relationship with "Phil", her body pillow:

"The one difficulty about my relationship with "Phil" was the difficulty "we" had when I wanted to turn over. First, I would hurl myself from one side to the other, then I would grab Phil with both arms and both legs and flip him over with me, much like an alligator wrestler might do. It invariably shook the bed so violently that my husband nearly fell out and the comforter would land somewhere halfway across the room."

I do this everynight but I get some help from Travis' body, using his shoulder as a base of which to hurl myself over. He doesn't even make a sound. :)

i'm bad

I am finding it so so hard to not look at our baby registries to see what people have bought so far. I remember one Christmas when I found all of our presents in mom and dad's closet and it took a lot of the fun out that year (that was the year of Mall Madness and Dream Phone). So I'm going to try my hardest to stay away. I'm just so excited! This is a true test of willpower.

I've been eyeing these Robeez shoes for a while now and found two pair that Travis would love. Which should I get? (Not for T, for Henry of course. Although, if they made the grown-up version, I'm sure Travis would love to match his son)

Remember that video that I posted a while back -- Travis

A few weeks ago we posted a video of Andy, my newest brother. Today my parents are receiving the official OK from the Chinese government. Within a few weeks they will be allowed to go to China. After the myriad of accepted applications this seems to be the one that finally makes it official.

Baby Update

So I've now entered the phase where I am going to the doctor every 2 weeks. I had my appointment yesterday and the doctor said that Henry is perfect. She says to look at me, she would put me at 6 months (I'm 8), but that Henry is a "big baby". I am so thrilled because I was a little worried that I wasn't getting big enough. I've only gained 7 pounds but she doesn't seem to think that this is a problem. She also said that he is already head-down!

We scheduled our 4D ultrasound at Southwestern for July 17th, 8:30AM. If anyone wants to come, let me know, we will try to squeeze as many people as we can in the room. If you know anyone whose pregnant, let them know that between 28-32 weeks, you can get a 4D ultrasound for $5 at SCC! That's amazing because they are like $200 anywhere else.

One more thing - invitations go out this week for our baby shower. If you read this blog and don't get one, you are certainly invited!! It will be Sunday, July 27th - 2-4pm drop-by at Macon County Library's conference room. Feel free to come by and eat some yummy cake and shower foods (courtesy of Katy and Camila).
