Let the Countdown Begin...

Officially 1 month to go before the big day. At least the due date that is. If we're lucky, our little bundle of joy will be here sooner!! At my 35-week check up, the baby had grown quite a bit. At my 33-week check up I was measuring 31 and now I'm measuring 36! That's a lot of growth in two weeks :)

Some other news, I'm 1 centimeter dilated and 50% effaced. AND, the head is down, so we are on a roll. Hopefully things keep progressing normally and we'll have a healthy, happy baby soon!!

The majority still think it's a girl, however, I've been getting more people telling me that they think it's a boy. I personally still don't have any guess. Chris is hoping for a boy. Whenever he talks to or about the baby he always refers to it as a boy:)

The nursery is about 50% done right now. I had big visions of crown molding and wainscoting, so it has taken a little longer than expected to get it all done. It's really turning out nice though. I can't wait to post up pictures so you all can see it!!

Anyhoo, stay tuned for the next update. And Happy 2010 everyone!!

Photo Session

Last weekend I got some professional maternity photos done by my friend Sarah and I am so pleased with the way they turned out. They are beautiful. Thanks, Sarah!!

After the photo session, I surprised Chris with a trip to Portland for our anniversary. Since this was our LAST anniversary without kids, I thought we should do something special. So we went to the Embassy Suites downtown and out to The Melting Pot for dinner. After dinner we stopped by Kell's for a beer... well, Chris had a beer, I had an iced tea:) and then went to a place I've been DYING to go to for years! Voodoo Donuts! We waited about 20 minutes outside this little hole-in-the-wall (literally) donut shop in below freezing temperatures to get these donuts and it was SOOOO worth the wait. Chris had a Captain My Captain donut (glazed donut topped with Captain Crunch cereal) and I got a little greedy and had an Orangotang (glazed donut topped with Tang), a Dirt (topped with crushed oreo cookies) and a bacon maple bar. They were UNBELIEVABLE! Sorry I don't have any pictures of Portland, but enjoy the maternity photos:)
