Christmas decorating

Had a fun time putting up the Christmas decorations today! It took me alot longer than usual though!

Swollen Feet

Here is what my poor feet look like pretty much all the time now.

Thanksgiving at Wolf Creek

Had a great time with my parents on Thanksgiving! We stayed at the Wolf Creek resort in Eden, Utah. I spent 2 days before cooking all kinds of yummy food. I made 2 cheeseballs, Chex muddy buddies, a cherry pie, a pumpkin cheesecake, 2 pumpkin pies, fruit salad and 4 dozen rolls. It was exhausting doing all the work but definitely worth it! My mom made all the other Thanksgiving dishes and as usual, everything was AMAZING!! We spent the weekend shopping, playing games and watching movies. Charles had to work most of the weekend but I think he was relieved that he only had to walk a few minutes to work instead of driving 1 1/2 hours.

First 2 week Dr's appt

Today was our first 2 week Dr's appt. Addie is doing great and has a strong heartbeat! She is still big for her age and I am still gaining weight! I seem to be the only one worried about my weight gain though! My ankles were pretty swollen and Dr. Smith thought they were impressive. He did tell us that he is going on a cruise the 2nd week in January so if she is not born on her due date he will induce....whoo hoo!! Let's hope we have her before then! On our next appointment he will start checking to see if I am dilating....

3rd ultrasound-33 weeks

This was our last ultrasound at Fetal Fotos....it's amazing how well you can see her features.

Our last monthly Dr's appt

Today we found out that the baby is still big. She is only 33 weeks old but is measuring at about 35 1/2. I guess that would explain my giant belly and the fact that I have gained 40lbs,(13 in the last month), aaahhh! The Dr. didn't seem to be very worried about my weight gain and thought it was mostly water (thank goodness.) He will do another ultrasound in about 2-3 weeks to make sure she is not too big and determine whether it is necessary to induce labor. We are hoping she comes a little early!

I was quite worried about what to do when I went into labor and where to go etc so although he normally wouldn't cover that for a few weeks he went over everything with me (probably so I would stop bringing it up.)

We tried to get a tour of the hospital we would be delivering at but because of fku season they no longer give tours..... what a bummer! We were able to get a swine flu shot though so the trip wasn't a complete waste. :)

We will now start seeing the Dr. every 2 weeks for 1 month and then every week....we are almost there!

Addie's Room

My parents came to visit this weekend and brought the dresser/changing table for Addison's room. Everything is finally done and the room is ready for her to come home! It is such a huge relief! I am sure Charles will be happy to not hear me nagging about it anymore
