Baby Update

Well, I've got about two weeks to go! I went to the Dr. on Friday and I was 2 cm dilated and 50% effaced. I have gained 25 pounds. My belly is measuring average so the Dr. said the baby would probably be around 7.5 lbs. The babies heart rate was good and so was my blood pressure. The Dr. said the baby could be here in two days or two weeks so now Drew and I are just waiting. We have the nursery all put together, the bassinet in our room, the car seat in the car and our bags packed. Come on baby!!! Here are a couple pictures of me looking like I'm about to pop! It feels like there is no more room for the baby to get any bigger!

Boston

Our last stop was Boston. Drew and I both agreed that Boston was the most charming city. Our favorite things were Newbury Street, The Duck Tour and Boston Common. We had so much fun on our trip but now it's nice to be home!

New York

We had the most fun in New York thanks to Lynn and Porter! Our favorite things in NYC were: going to dinner at a restaurant that overlooks the Statue of Liberty, going to visit Porter at Fox News, eating ice cream at Serendipity, Lynn's surprise 31st birthday party, going to Central park and seeing Melanie and her girls. Here are the pics from NYC.

Here we are with Bill O' Reilly (I know Gramma S. will like this one). He was very nice and very tall!

Heraldo Rivera. He was very friendly and seemed very down to earth.

Bill Hemmer. He was great. He even asked us to sit down so we could chat a little bit.

Melanie and her girls.

We saw Matt Damon filming a movie.

Washington DC

Drew and I just got back from an eleven day trip to Washington DC, New York and Boston. DC was our first stop. It was beautiful and the weather was perfect! Our favorite part of DC was the night we went to Georgetown for dinner. It is an adorable little area with tons of shops and restaurants. We also looked at all of the monuments, which was fun but lots of walking for a 33-week pregnant lady and a guy with a hurt ankle! Drew sprained his ankle really badly and tore a ligament right before we left for our trip. Here are some pics from DC.

Phoenix Baby Shower

My mom and sisters threw me a beautiful baby shower while I was home for my sisters' graduation. It was a crazy weekend with two graduations, a graduation party, Jake's prom and my baby shower! We all had a great time though! Thanks again you guys for the baby shower!

Court and Kyle's Graduation

Court and kyle both graduated from ASU! We are so proud of both of them!!! Courtney graduated on Friday, we had their graduation party on Friday night and then Kyle graduated on Saturday. The party was so much fun and the food was amazing (good job mom). It was great to see family and friends!

27 week ultrasound

Drew and I went for our 4D ultrasound today. It was very exciting. At first, the baby was facing my spine. They had me get up and do a few exercises. The moving around woke up the baby and it faced the camera-yay! Everything looks great and they confirmed the sex. The baby even smiled a few times and it was so cute!!! Right now the baby is a little over two pounds and around 15 inches long. I am in my third trimester and have 12 weeks and 3 days to go. We can't wait to meet out little bundle of joy! Here are a few pictures from the ultrasound.
