My 37 week appointment went well.....blood pressure good, heartrate good. 3 WEEKS TO GO unless the little one decides to bless us with her presence early!!

THE LITTLE LADY'S NURSERY

After many months, the little lady's nursery is FINALLY FINISHED! Dave took on the tedious task of splitting one of our rooms into two - one room for the baby and one room for our workout room. I was so proud of the hard work he did and now we can finally enjoy the baby's nursery with a few weeks to spare before her arrival. Here are a few pictures of the room..............

Her little closet is already stocked with clothes - that's my girl!!!

9 MONTHS (36 WEEKS)

Hey everyone....I had my 36 week appointment today and I will begin to have an appointment every week until my September 22 due date. We had our final sonogram and the doctor confirmed that we are having a baby girl. She said the baby's head was in position and took an up close picture of the little one's face. 4 more weeks to go!!!! WE CAN'T WAIT!!

BABY SHOWER

My mom and aunt hosted the most amazing baby shower for me at the Severn River Inn in Annapolis. The food options were a choice of crab cake with fried green tomatoes or chicken salad on a croissant. They even made me my favorite type of cake - CHOCOLATE! It was so nice to see all of my close friends and family and I appreciate everyone taking the time to celebrate this exciting time in our lives! Here are a few pictures from the wonderful day!!

My cousin Megan and I. She is also pregnant, but is having a sweet baby boy! She did a wonderful job of hosting all of the fun games at the shower.

One really fun thing about my shower is that there were 5 pregnant women there. Here we all are in ascending order.

Dave came at the end of the shower to help me load all of the wonderful gifts in our cars! What a sweet husband!

Me with Alice and Charlie. They are sooooooooooooo adorable with their curly hair!

THANKS AGAIN TO MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY FOR SUCH A WONDERFUL DAY!! I LOVE YOU ALL VERY MUCH!!

8 AND 1/2 MONTHS (34 WEEKS)

OH BOY FOLKS - My belly is popping..............I just had my 34 week appointment today and it was quite eventful. The doctor said my blood pressure was good, my belly measurements were good, and the baby is offically in position (head down). She gave me a sonogram and we were able to see a blurry version of her little face and chubby little cheeks. It was so amazing. The countdown officially begins..........

OUTER BANKS

We just got back from our annual beach trip to the Outer Banks. We stayed at a quaint little place called "Cottage by the Pier" and enjoyed some quality family time together. This was the last trip before our bundle of joy arrives and we can't wait to make her a part of this fun trip next year! Here are some pictures from the vacation:
