The Naves: February 2010

The Nursery

My mom and sister came over today to help decorte and put the finishing touches on the nursery, it was such a huge help!

38 weeks and counting!

We are almost there, there is a light at the end of the pregnancy tunnel. I have been feeling pretty good, but everyday is different. Some days I have a ton of energy and others not so much. Some days I feel a little nauseated with little appetite and others I feel fine with and can eat anything. This is all just the joys of late pregnancy I guess. At my 38 week appointment I was dilated to 1 cm, baby's heart rate was 141 and I measured 36 cm, my BP and HR remain great and no swelling which I am very grateful for. . .so basically baby and I are both doing very well. Everyone keeps telling us to enjoy this time and make the most of it as just the two of us, but we are just so excited to meet this baby, its getting hard to wait. Maybe the next post will be include a photo of Baby Naves!

38 weeks

Valentine's Day

Well, going out of town wasn't an option this year, so we stayed home, went out for a yummy lunch and had some Sherri's Berries for dessert. And then my wonderful hubby took us out on the lake for sunset, it was beautiful, romantic and the perfect evening!

Maternity Leave!

Almost 37 weeks

Yeah! I am officially in maternity leave and loving it. . . can you say nesting?!?! I have cleaned and organized the nursery more than once. I am walking and shopping daily and anything to get this baby out, I am ready!

We had our preparing for birth class on saturday, it was a long day being almost 37 weeks pregnant, but a great class. Jack is going to be a wonderful coach. He feels better about the birth and I think now I am may be a bit more scared. The baby continues to be very active rolling around and kicking. He or she has been in the head down position since about 34 weeks that we know of and feels like s/he has dropped a bit. So, hopefully sooner rather than later. . . but I know, a first time mom is usually late but I am praying for early!

Family Shower

Mom, Jennifer, Hannah and Katelynn threw a darling shower on saturday February 6th. The baby and I were spoiled by family and close friends. I had a wonderful time and came home wiht a car full! Here are a few photos of the day.
