Doctor update

Scott and I went to another doctor appointment today! I will be going every two weeks now. Hard to believe we are already at that point. Time is flying by!

Last time I was in, the doctor said I was measuring small and wanted me to do an ultrasound this appointment to ensure that she was growing properly. Today, the ultrasound tech said everything was great. I was right on track where I need to be. This time the due date was approximately June 8th, so not much has changed. She checked my fluids and everything was good there as well. The doctor said my weight gain and belly measurements were right on track! Very relieved to hear all of that!

It's still a girl!
She weighs about 2 pounds and 15 ounces.
She was sucking her thumb... cutest things ever to see
She already has a little bit of hair. I'm sure she will have a full head by the time she gets here!
We got to see her in 3D! (picture below) it was so cool! Made everything seem even more real.

Can't wait to meet her in real life. The ultrasounds aren't cutting it any more :)

Here is her 3D photo. I took the picture with my phone, I haven't scanned the ultrasound pics into the computer yet. Our scanner is downstairs and...well... the steps are a cursing to me right now :)

Some of Brookyln's new stuff!

Well these adorable shoes my mother-in-law made! She took converse shoes and put some bling and cute ribbon! I wish her feet would stay this size for forever!

Thanks to Scott's grandma, mom Aunt Debbie and Aunt Becky for her stroller and car seat! I had Scott put it together that night!

Yay a fun play set for her!

Thanks to her Aunt Ashley for her first Cardinals attire! Scott is so proud!

We have received many adorable gifts and clothes, way too many to post. I just wanted to highlight and few items :) thank you all!

Diaper Party!

Thank you to all my fellow co-workers at Beth Academy that came out last night to dinner and brought diapers for Brooklyn! We had no diapers before yesterday and now we have a great start! Since I will be on a unpaid maternity leave it will be nice to not have to worry about diapers for the first two months, so we truly appreciate everything! It's seriously hard to fathom all the great things that people have given us!

THANK YOU!


Here is the adorable diaper cake that Lydia's daughter made. She did an awesome job!

Glucose test number two!

Well I had my second glucose test on Wednesday and I got the results yesterday.

I PASSED!

Woo hoo.

For those of you who have never heard of the three hour test. I had to fast for 12 hours. When I got to the doctor they drew my blood and then drew it again every hour for three hours. It sucked just as much as I thought it would! I couldn't eat during that time period as well so after 15 hours of fasting, my best friend Barb and I went to Five guys and I stuffed my face :)

My advise: if you are getting your glucose test, don't eat sweets for a week before that way you know you'll pass!

Good day.

1st Baby shower!

Thanks to all of Scott's family who put on my first baby shower this past Sunday! I had a great time and it's awesome to see how many people already care for her so much. Below are some pictures and I will upload more picture of the cute gifts she got later!

The cute basket that my Mother-in-law made with lots of goodies!

I know it's hard to see but the banner says Baby Brooklyn. I am going to put it in her room too :)

Some cute little onsies that they hung up for decoration :)

More to come... stay tuned!
