Weekend Events and Avery Update

I really don't have that much to say...

I finally took pictures of Autumn's button pony-o bows (I must think of a shorter name). Who knows when she'll actually get them, I've had them done for a few weeks now.

Kennedy and I have been running errands all day - got my hair braid (as usual), nail shop and Sam's...where I can never get out of there before spending $100.00 - (sigh).

I took a picture of Kennedy getting her toes done by a professional for the first time - she kept asking for everything to be done to her, so I asked if they would paint them...of course she messed them up, so they were generous enough to do her big toes twice.



On Saturday, the tennis ladies gave me and another lady on the team a baby shower...however, the other lady had delivered the day before (a few weeks early) and wasn't able to make it, since she was still in the hospital! They were very sweet and gave little miss avery so many fun things! I don't have any pictures, because I've been a slacker lately and haven't used my camera much. Maybe some will be on facebook this week.

Avery Update: from my last ultra sound (I have one every three weeks) Avery was weighing in at a whopping 3lbs 13ozs. They say that weight is perfect and she is still growing right on schedule. I took my blood pressure while I was at Sam's and it was good - depending on how accurate it was! She has been head down for a while...at least since I was 25 weeks. I've had daily braxton hicks (although, these don't feel so hot) for at least a month and they've just become part of my regular day. My OB did say if I experience more than 6 in one hour to go to labor and delivery...but I don't think that has ever happened. So, I guess we're good. I was thinking about getting a bag ready for the hospital...I may do that later on this evening. Oh, so her weight - she is gaining an average of 6oz a week and if she keeps that up she should be right around 7-7.5lbs. I guess that is ideal...however, I'm used to a 4lb baby coming out...not one that almost twice that weight...OMG!

In general the pregnancy is going well, although, I do think my body is having a hard time adjusting to carrying a heavier baby. I'm still hoping she will come about 2-3weeks early. I do plan on beginning to walk at least a mile a day and encourage her to come on down! ...on the flip side of that, yesterday I couldn't even stand for more than 30 seconds without my complete right side aching so bad I needed to sit down...so we'll see about this mile a day thing!

Other than that...I have a dirty kitchen and don't want to clean it and have loads and loads of laundry to do...however, I'm tired after running around all day and I think I'll just turn on the dishwasher and hope for the best!


Have a great week.
