28 weeks!

I love that we're getting so close!!! I am now meeting with the Dr every other week. which can either make things feel like it's getting closer faster or slower. Having to drive all the way to the U isn't the funnest thing. But i know we are in the best place we can be to deliver.

Jaime came with me to my appt on Tuesday which was so nice! We got to take a tour of the labor and delivery area and thank goodness Jaime was there! She was able to ask questions I wouldn't have even thought about. Next time I have to do my glucose test which I'm so not looking forward to. I hate having my blood drawn!!! And I have to stick around for a while. :( I'm hoping all goes well with the test mainly so I don't have to do the 3 hour test!

I had to ask Jaime and the Dr exactly what a Braxton hicks feels like. Then I realized I had had a few. Nothing major. I had a pretty intense one last night while stuck in traffic but nothing followed it so i wasn't worried.

Last week was Brooke's baby shower which was a lot of fun! It was so fun to see all the gifts that she got for Morgan! I can't wait for these crazy girls to get here!!!

I had my first dream last night about Charlie :) The dream was that she was just born, born 9 weeks early but was full grown??? it was weird. But i was holding her and she was so damn cute!!! I cant wait for her to get here!!!!

Her kicks have been getting stronger and stronger. Keeps me up most nights but I wouldn't trade it for anything. I wonder what in the world she is doing in there that she's kicking that much.

I can't for my shower to get here! Jaime is throwing, what I think is going to be an amazing shower!!! HELLO Chocolate fountain! how can you go wrong??? LOL My Aunt and friend Connie are also having one, which is so nice that some friends I wouldn't have normally invited can come and others who can't come to Jaime's can come too. Than Taylor's mom is having a family one as well. I told him not to bother her with it since I was already having 2 but, he did anyways.

so tired

I never thought I could be this tired. I didn't sleep great last night but I felt like I had gotten enough. I sat on the couch and felt exhausted so I laid down and ended up napping for 3 hours. and I'm still exhausted. Like exhausted to the point that my eyes refuse to stay open! I can feel my eyelids getting so heavy. If this means Charlie is using my energy to grow big and strong, take it! :) Anything to make my baby girl stronger. I can't wait for our next appointment on the 23rd. I can't believe it's getting so close!!!

Last night my dad, Aunt Cindy and Uncle Gene went and saw The Wizard of Oz done by the Symphony. Very cool! They played the movie while the symphony did all the music. I did fall asleep but only with about 10 min left of the show. It didn't start till 8 so it was already pretty late for me. We had great seats! Thanks again, Dad!

kick kick kick

My goodness! Charlie was kicking so much last night! A few swift kicks and I thought she was gonna come busting out! LOL it kept me from sleeping but I wouldn't trade it for anything.

On Sunday Taylor and I decided to go have some fun. We went to IHOP to try out their banana bread french toast (for me) and pumpkin praline pancakes (for him.) Then we went and saw Due Date. I asked Taylor if he felt like going to do some baby registering, not thinking he'd say ok. He said sure so we headed to Babies R Us. He ended up having a lot of fun with that scanner gun. He was registering for all the "I <3 Daddy" stuff. It was so so cute! After we were done there we went to Burlington's Baby Depot to register there as well. I have only been in there briefly to get a body pillow and I refuse to go back there. It was entirely disappointing. The selection was limited, the staff was not friendly in the slightest, and registering was a pain. After we got there we had to wait for an employee to get us a scanner. While walking through BABY aisles I walked over a freaking razor blade! In the middle of the aisle! WTF?! I wasn't happy with the items they had at all. After we were done we called for assistance to give the scanner back and no one came so we just left. Thank goodness Brooke is also registered at Target because I don't go back there. :(

I will admit that most of the items at Babies R Us did seem pricier. But there were also a better quality. I liked the items Brooke got registered for at Target so I'm also going to register there. :)

Here's our registry if anyone care to take a gander :) http://www.toysrus.com/registry/link/index.jsp?overrideStore=TRUS&registryNumber=46171613
