A little behind!

I have been so busy here lately I haven't had a chance to update often. Between getting everything ready for Bryson, Thanksgiving, Christmas shopping, wrapping & decorating we have been busy! Not to mention work & just life in general.

35 weeks

I went to the Dr on Wednesday & had the Group B Strep test & my platelet levels checked again since they were low last time I had blood work. I am hoping that they went up or at least stayed the same so we don't have to go through a whole lot more blood work! (We all know I am not a fan of having my blood drawn or even seeing blood!!!) The Dr checked & I am dilated 2cm as of Wednesday. I got back to the Dr this coming up Friday, so we will see how things have progressed! I will keep y'all posted!! :)



Baby Shower #3

My 2 best friends got together to host a wonderful baby shower! It was so much fun & was a HUGE success! We didn't have to go buy anything except a baby monitor & another car seat base, but we didn't have to spend any of our money because of all the wonderful gift cards we received! A BIG thanks to April & Melissa for EVERYTHING!

The hostesses!

Justin's family NEVER wants to take pictures so therefore we don't have any pictures of them, but they were indeed there!

Thanks again!! The shower was AWESOME!!

My last Dr appt was last Friday & it went well. Dr. Andrews said everything looks great & Mr. Bryson is going wonderful. We also, went to Prenatal Peek (an ultrasound place) for our anniversary instead of buying each other gifts. It was a fun experience but Bryson wasn't wanting to show us his face!! We got to go back again this week to try again. He was a little better this time, but still not the best. They said we could come back again but I think we are going to pass. The ultrasound tech told us..."Well, I have good news & I have not so good news! Good news is he is in the "birthing position" but not so good news is he is in a bad position to get ultrasound pictures!" So, we said well...we only have 7 more weeks (maybe less ;) so we will just wait and take all the pictures we want to then!! He looks just like Justin & has cute chubby cheeks :)

I go back to the Dr. this coming up Wed! I get to meet a new Dr this time! They try to rotate you around so you are at least familiar with everyone! It is fine with me, but I still love Dr. Duncan & hope he delivers Bryson! (And to think I said I would NEVER have a man doctor...boy was I wrong!! He's the best!!)
