7 Months!

Well I hit my 7th Month! How exciting... Pregnancy has been quite the adventure for us. Some times I think "what were we thinking" having this baby in Septembers, cause going through the summer being prego is NO FUN! We also had our 2nd ultra sound today, oh my goodness don't even get me started it was so cool! We had the long Dr. visit today, with an ultra sound and my glucose testing all in one visit, we were there for about 1 1/2 hours. I don't know why I didn't learn from the first time and make this Dr. Apt. later in the day cause drinking 32oz of water at 7:30 in the morning is terrible!!!! And than on top of that I get to the Dr. office and they give me little water bottle with a red koolaid looking liquid that I had to drink in 5min for the glucose test.. Tasty :) I had to gag it down fast so I could go back for the Ultra Sound. I'm so glad we were able to get a second ultra sound. They lady was so NICE!!! She went through everything with us again and also confirmed again that it is a GIRL! We were having so much fun that all of the sudden she says to us hold on let me try something real fast, the next thing we know were are getting a 3D ultra sound!!!! It was soo amazing!!!! We got to see so much, her cute little face, nose oh and as the nurse says CUBBY little checks. Maybe my mom blindness is just sinking in but I thought she was the most perfect little thing ever! I can't wait to see her in person. We saw her drinking the fluid and it was so cute it looked like she was talking to us! Our scanner is still not working so I'll have to find a way to post our pictures from the ultra sound. Anyways I could go on for days about this, it was just such a good experience, it made everything so much more real.
Now little baby girl needs a name. So far we like Liberty Mae (long story on why we like Liberty, ask me some time I'll tell ya), Brynlee Jan or Janet (Janet after my mom) (not 100% sure on how we want to spell Brynlee yet) or Cherie Alta. (Alta after my grandma) If we have 3 girls I think someday I will use all of these I'm just not sure what one for this Baby! I think Liberty might win this time. I go back and forth so many time :)
Back to being being Pregnant.. So I never realized how much you appreciate the little things, like anything that requires bending over. Shaving your Legs, putting lotion on your legs, all of these things are very difficult for me know! My feet have officially started to swell holy molly, that's no fun! I also can't seem to stop gaining weight like crazy! and apparently like mother like daughter cause little baby is also measuring "big" in weight for how far along I am. All I can say is pray I go early haha. I was 6 pounds, I'm not sure how big Jeff was but bring on a 8lbs baby! Sleeping is becoming a little more difficult I have the hardest time not wanting to roll over on my belly. Having to use the bathroom at 3:00am every morning has also become very old. I'm back to to stage of "oh gosh I'm so tired I think I could fall asleep driving!" Everyday at work around 2 I feel like I'm going to fall asleep right there on my key board. My house sure shows my sleepiness too I find it very hard to come home from working and than cook and clean a house. I know what you all are thinking She still 2 more months to go!!! I know ok! Anyways I'm loving it! I think I left my camera at my moms so I will have to post my belly picture tomorrow.

We started getting the babies room ready also, We cleaned out the room which used to be Jeff's band room, poor guy had to pack up his drums and put them in storage. I really did start to feel bad as we packed all of his stuff up. But we gotta make room for baby! More decorating to come but here is the room with the crib in it. I still need to clean out the closet and my desk that is still in there. I'm hoping I'll get that done this weekend.

Before: (Thanks Mom and Lindsey for helping us clean it out)

The swollen feet look all too familiar...I always get swollen, too. I'm so excited you're already 7 months. I can't wait until little Libby (or whatever name you choose) gets here!

You do know that it's 40 weeks if you go all the way, 10 months.
Doesn't that suck?
It must be genetic, I get very swollen, and it was the worst with my first.
I tried to not eat salty foods with the rest and put my feet up more.
Is that GAP bedding?
You look very cute!
