I had another follow visit today. Everything checked out so just set to go back again in 2 weeks. The picture on the left is from last week @ 33 weeks. The picture below was taken today (@ 34 weeks). It really seemed to be sticking out a ton to both me and Rick.







We are looking forward to Christmas. Lots of visiting with family coming up :).

Here is my week 31 picture.

We had another checkup this week. Everything still checks out great, so that is good. This past weekend Jilly's grandma and auntie had a baby shower for us. We had fun playing charades. Although I still don't know what a sail boat has to do with babies so much. Thanks to everyone for coming and for the gifts! :)

I did take another video while at the doctors office. If you look at the left side of my tummy you can see that it is raised. When she moves the doppler over to listen to the heart beat you can see it fall back down. This was actually the first time I noticed her moving while at the doctors office.

Here is my week 30 belly photo. Also we had a checkup today, which is becoming more frequent since we now go in every 2 weeks. Everything checked out well including all the 3rd trimester labs.

I got a good "video" of the heart beat today. If I had good timing I could get a good one of my "belly dancing."

Yesterday Rick was able to feel a limb poking out on my right side. He thought that was pretty neat. She is definitely a very wiggly girl!

Week 27/Travel System

Here is my picture from week 27. Which according to one of my books is the last week of the 6th month making it the last week of the 2nd trimester. According to my other book it is the first week of the third trimester. Either way we are getting closer to meeting Jillian!!

I was able to get my H1N1 flu shot last week. I was only able to get it because I had called in on got on a list with my OB. Then over the weekend I got a cold... so it is possible getting the vaccine caused me to get a cold, but it is also possible they are not at all related. I was concerned about the cold symptoms so I did talk to my OB on Monday. Since I didn't have a fever they were certain it is just a cold and recommended rest. I am feeling much better today.

Last week we got the travel system in. An early gift from grandma and grandpa for little miss Jillian. She isn't going to be spoiled or anything.... In case you are wondering, yes I put her dolly in her car seat to take the picture :).

New Dresser & Cute Outfits!

Here is my belly @ 26 weeks. I did go in for a checkup again this month back on 10-12-09. Everything checked out fine so that is good. At my next appointment they will be doing some more labs... I don't like having blood drawn very much.

Just last night we got Jillian's dresser in and assembled. My parents were nice enough to help me with this project which took us about 2.5 hours. The dresser itself came in 30 pieces (not including the hardware)! Below you will see a picture of the finished product. I think it turned out well. The piece on the top that makes the changing tables sides is removable, which I think will be nice when she gets older.


























Here is the dolly that Jillian's grandma got her along with some outfits she has been given. Thanks to Candia, Sarah, Beth, and of course grandma for the clothes.

Ultrasound Photos - It's a GIRL!!

Rick felt the baby kick!/ Guessing Game

After about a week and a half of failed attempts Rick was finally able to feel the baby move. This past Monday (9-7-09, also week 19) was when he got to feel the movement. Typically as soon as he would put his hand on my belly the baby would stop, I guess it was being shy.

BTW: The picture here is from the end of week 19.

We have made people play the "guessing game" as to what we are having. And the results are in:

Great Grandma Mariagness: Girl
Great Grandma Pat: Girl

Grandma Melanie: Girl
Grandma Karen: Girl
Grandpa Wayne: Boy
Grandpa Rick: Boy
Aunt Anna: Girl
Uncle Brian: Girl
Aunt Sue: Girl
Uncle Gary: Boy
Uncle John: Girl

FRIENDS
Candi: Girl
Cory: Girl
Hanna: Girl
Sarah: Girl
Craig: Boy
Beth: Girl

The ultrasound is set for tomorrow at 9am, so we will see if the baby is feeling shy or not.
