Baby Shower

My best friend started planning this shower the day I told her I was pregnant. Pretty sure she had it completely planned within a week with the exception of the colors.

Lots of yummy pink food!


Kids table.


Big K got in on the gift opening portion. She was so excited to see all the new things for sister.



Big K even got in on the gift receiving. This shirt is from Mimi, but a couple of other people got her something special as well.


Homemade bow holder. Super cute!



My wonderful hostesses.


We had a really fun time, got some things we need and some fun cutsie things as well. Now, all we need is baby.

Pumpkin Glow

This year, one of the local home decor/craft stores held its 2nd annual Pumpkin Glow. It's a pretty neat thing. The local schools design and create pumpkin creations, the store has different things set up for the kids to do, and they get to wear their costumes.

I took Big K last year, but I wasn't able to this year. However, Grandma was willing to take her, so she still got to go. They met up with Big K's best friend and his family.

Here's what I'm assuming is Batman showing Snow White the pumpkin alligator.


Batman and Snow White photo ops!



These 2 have been friends since the womb, and I hope that their friendship continues for a very long time. His mom and I have known each other since we were super little as well, and we still like each other, so there's a good chance these 2 will.

33 weeks

7 weeks left! Crazy, right?

I really don't have to much of an update this week. Things went really well this week. Little K decided to cooperate during the NST and showed the accelerations they look for, and we were done in about 20 minutes.

Yesterday during the BPP, she did everything she needed to do in about 5 minutes, which is the fastest she's ever completed one. She is still very much folded in half though in the frank breech position, and is showing no real signs of turning. We really aren't worried about the breech position since I'm having a repeat c-section, but we are starting to get concerned with possible hip problems she could possibly have from being in this position for so long. I guess we'll just cross that bridge when we get there.

Today was just a routine appointment. Everything looked good, Little K's heart rate was good, and we're on track for making it to full term, but still realizing that things can change in a matter of days like they did with Big K. I also got my flu shot today. Man is my arm sore!

Baby shower on Saturday!

Tailgating- at home

So this past weekend Baylor and TCU played. If you've read some of my past posts, you know we're a Baylor family. I have a friend who is a TCU alum. Last year we had talked about going to the game, but it was on a Friday that wasn't going to work very well so we had a little party here.

This year, we were planning on going, but 1) it was Parent Weekend at Baylor and 2) I'm on bed rest, and I don't think my doctor would have liked it too much if I traveled 3 hours to go to a football game. So...we ended up having another party this year.

It was also C's birthday- hence the party hats on the food table.


Eatin' time! I didn't get a picture before we started eating, but we had lots of fun little finger foods, and I even made wings for the first time. They were pretty yummy!


Over all, we had 12 people here, including three 3 year olds. The mini pizza's were a big hit with them as you can tell!


Big K's room after the kids got a hold of it. They had a lot of fun, and it really only took about 10 min to clean up, which I know is about 9 minutes and 50 seconds longer than it took to make the mess. HA.


Baylor didn't win, but that's ok. I had fun getting to spend time with people and eating what I call "football" food. Maybe next year we can actually make it to the game. That's the plan anyways, and 3rd times a charm, right?

32 weeks

Wow! 32 weeks. That's only 4 weeks away from our first goal. CRAZY!

This week(and next week for that matter) was a busy one. I had a NST on Monday, a BPP and growth scan on Wednesday, and then an appointment this morning.

Little K decided to be stubborn this week. It took us almost an hour on the monitor to get a good looking strip, and didn't really want to move during the BPP yesterday. My appointment went well so at least something went "normal" this week.

Back next week for the same schedule. The ladies at the front desk now just see me and print off my check in paper and hand it to me on my way through. They don't even ask me my name anymore...I feel like I should move in.


I also had a small shower today at work. It was good to see them and get to talk since it's been 6 weeks since I've been able to go to work.

We got lots of diapers and some other goodies. :) Had some yummy snack food too!
