33 Weeks

Baby's now the size of a honeydew! Measuring 17 inches long, she weighs about 5 lbs. And from this week, until 2 weeks before birth, she will gain about a half pound of weight each week.

Things are heating up inside as well: Baby may grow up to a full inch this week alone, and her brain is developing like crazy. The bones in her skull are formed, but aren't fused. They actually don't fuse entirely until early adulthood, allowing room for their brain to grow through childhood. Because they aren't fused, the bones in her skull will be able to overlap, helping her to fit through the birth canal during delivery.

Pretty soon, she'll be able to coordinate breathing with sucking and swallowing. Also, her bones are hardening, and she's started to keep her eyes open when she's awake.

8 Months!!

Your baby continues to grow and develop inside of you. Measuring 16.5 inches long, she now weights over 4 pounds! And from this week, until 2 weeks before birth, she will gain about a half pound every week.
She is sleeping approximately 90 to 95 percent of the day. Most of her wrinkles are disappearing, especially on her face, as more fat is deposited under her skin. Her hair is becoming thicker with each passing week and you may even be able to see it on an ultrasound! She will also begin to settle in the head-down position, as her birth is fast approaching.

Everything is still going really well, cant believe that Emery will be here soon. We cant wait. I go to the doctor tomorrow and I will update on that later. We have a busy week ahead, my grandparents are coming in to town, my 2nd baby shower, and my maternity pictures! Which I still need to go shopping for:)

Hi Hoe, Hi Hoe, it's off to work He goes!

Casey finally got to go back to work today, and we couldnt be more excited! I am sure I am a little more excited about it than he is. He was getting bored at home just watching tv, though. We will be back to our normal routine, with Casey being out of town for days at a time, that we arent ready for:( He will be working 7 on 2 off, so that doesnt leave us much time together before Emery comes. We are really grateful that everything worked out for us while he was off and that we got to spend alot of time together for the last 2 months.

My ever growing Belly!

This is me at 31 weeks pregnant! Casey took this picture awfully close to I definately look huge!
Thanks for that honey:) I have gotten bigger this week, and I am feeling the affects in my back. It is definately harder to get comfy. It's only going to get bigger!

The Nursery Is Completed!

Emery's nursery is completed and we couldnt be happier with the way that it turned out! We are just waiting to put a sweet baby girl in there:) Please excuse the mess on her changing table, I still have to put a few things away still. These are all taken at the doorway of her room!

31 Weeks

Your baby continues to grow and develop inside you. Measuring 16 inches long, she weighs 4 lbs. 4 whole pounds, wow! And from this week, until 2 weeks before birth, she will gain about a half pound every week. As you've probably noticed, she is moving around quite a bit in there! Its not uncommon for her continuous movements, which may feel like somersaults, to be keeping you up at night. Her arms, legs and body are also filling out as she continues to develop fat underneath her skin, making those kicks and prods feel even stronger than last week. You may even see an arm or a foot move slowly across your belly!


Things are going well. It is getting harder to get comfortable to sleep at night but nothing to terribly bad. We are finishing up the final touches on her room and are waiting to have one last baby shower before she gets here. Things are going by way too fast!

Showers Galore!

In the month of October I have been to 3 showers! I hosted one, had my first baby shower and this bridal shower! It has been one busy month for us:)

This Halloween Casey and I celebrated at a costume Couples Bridal Shower. Say that 5 times fast, Ha! We had so much fun. My very good friend Ang and her Finace Chad had their shower on Saturday and it was so good to see everyone, dressed up especially! This was one of the funnest showers I have been too! We just enjoyed other peoples company and ate some really good food and played an awesome game. They had a pumpkin carving contest and we all got to vote! I should have taken my camera because there were some really awesome pumpkins.
The picture above is of a towel cake that Casey and I made for their shower gift. It was our first one to make, but I think it turned out awesome. Almost all of the stuff on there was from their registry. If you guys haven't heard of the Pioneer Woman, you really need to get her cookbook. I am hoping that this is the one thing I get for Christmas this year! We haven't had one recipe of hers that isn't good. The morning of the shower I stole a recipe out of her book before I had to give it away. They were Sour Cream Pancakes, to most I know that it sounds gross and even I was a little nervous but they were soooo good! Go get her cook book(and if you don't like it, give it to me for Christmas, Casey will love you)!
Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!

We are looking forward to next year with Emery. Dressing up, taking pictures, pumpkin carving, pumpkin patches, and trick or treating! We are going to have so much fun sweet pea! We cant wait! We love you!
