35 Weeks... Shower & Nursery Progress

1 month to go... or less!!! 

I had a Dr's appointment this morning and I asked if she thought I would make it 4 more weeks and her response was "I sure hope not!"  She said she'd like to see me go another 2 weeks and then start trying to have this baby.  So I had a pep talk with the little guy and hopefully we're all on board! So here's the scoop... I have been a little reluctant to post all the details until I knew for sure what is going on.  I've been having "minor complications" for the past month or so.  I have Pregnancy Induced Hypertension.  Basically, this means I am experiencing high blood pressure, excessive swelling and headaches.  I also have protein in my urine which means my kidneys are struggling a little.  None of these issues are at a level of major concern, it just means I don't feel so great and the Dr's are watching me closely.  I've been in twice a week for the past month or so.  Going through lots of tests, blood draws and my favorite yet the 24 hour urine collection. That one was extra special!  The important thing is Baby still seems perfectly healthy! 

We had a busy weekend with a beautiful shower given by "great" Aunt Cheryl :-)   We are so blessed to have so many wonderful friends and family to support us.  And boy did we get showered!  I should have taken a picture of the baby's room once we got home and the mounds of gifts!  In my next post I'll post a picture of his closet with all his cute little outfits!  Thank you so much to everyone for all of your love and support! We are SO grateful!

We also attended a wedding in Vegas on Sunday night and got a chance to visit with Jason's Dad, Minda and his sister.  Fun-filled but definitely my last "big" weekend before Baby.  No more traveling allowed!

The nursery progress has been a bit on hold the past few weeks.  Too many other things going on lately.  Walls are ready but furniture is still in boxes.  Maybe this weekend?  I'm trying to calm my "nesting" nerves but I am a little stressed out that the house is still not "in-order."  I just hope he waits until the kitchen is done!



I just can't believe he's going to be here in the next 30 days.  We are so excited to meet our little guy!  A little nervous for the "big day" (or at least I am), and just overall maybe a little overwhelmed by everything this next month will bring.

Lots of love! xoxo
