Spring Break has been amazing! Most of my days were spent either in my pj's, shopping for Reagan's nursery, or cleaning. I also completed all of Reagan's Cord Blood stuff. I'm so grateful for this week! I feel rested and ready to take on the next 9 weeks of pregnancy!
Here are some pictures of my trusty cuddle buddy- Rowdy:
Hanging out in Reagan's room:
Exhausted from a long days work ;)
Look who decided to join the cuddle parade:
In the past couple of weeks, Jerry and I have taken a couple of classes. On March 5, we took Baby Basics. Our instructor was hilarious! She looked and acted just like Tina Fey. She had everyone laughing the entire time. Then on March 14 we took Infant CPR and first aid. This class was pretty cut and dry, but still good information to know. Here's a picture of our CPR baby.
We also had our maternity pictures done. We are using
Paige Walker Photography. I love her work! She is actually one of Andrea's sister's best friends. Oh did I mention she graduated from Texas Tech and was a Kappa Delta. She will be doing Reagan's newborn, 3 month, 6 month, and 1 year pictures. I didn't even think about this until my sister mentioned it, but I wore the same colors in my engagement pictures. Here are a couple of sneak peeks:
Jerry's coworkers threw him a baby shower this week. It was so thoughtful of his coworkers to do this. Jerry is lucky guy to be able to work with such nice people. Here is a picture of a beautiful quilt that was given to us by Jerry's bosses:
We also received our awesome stroller this week! Karen, Larry, and Walker purchased this for us. It is perfect! We were so excited that we decided to take it for a joy ride around the house. Thank you Karen, Larry, and Walker for the AWESOME stroller and carrier! Reagan will be looking super cool! Here is Jerry putting it together.
Reagan's room is pretty much done! I'm so excited! It's exactly how I pictured it! I'll put pictures up soon.... I still need to add a few finishing touches! Jerry has been such a great sport! He's painted, put together furniture, and hung pictures without any complaints! I'm a lucky lady :)
Reagan update:
I went to the doctor on Thursday and Reagan is going great! She is measuring 32 weeks which is about a week and a half ahead. Reagan now weighs over 3 pounds! In the past couple of weeks she has developed her eyelashes. She is pretty lazy during the day, but decides to have a party at night. When she really gets going, my belly looks crazy!
Carolyn update:
Sleep: I am sleeping okay. My allergies are going crazy. It makes it kind of hard to sleep with a stuffy nose.
Missing anything: Happy Hour. The weather this past week has been perfect for patio parties!
Food Cravings: Lately, I've been kind of blah towards food. Nothing really sounds that great.
Exercise: still trying to exercise 2-3 times a week. My workouts have been less strenuous. It seems like it doesn't take much to get my heart rate up.
Food Aversions: none really
Symptoms: I'm starting to feel tired. However, I refuse to believe it's because of the pregnancy. I'm blaming my tiredness on allergies.
Happy or Moody: Happy and emotional. The other day I was driving to my appointment and I started to think about how in just a couple of months Jerry and I would be making this drive because Reagan would be coming. I started crying and I'm starting to get chocked up just typing about it right now---- What is wrong with me?! Pull it together Carolyn!
Looking forward to: The last 9 weeks of pregnancy! Praying for smooth and a safe 9 weeks!
Funny story:
So I was at my doctors appointment being weighed and I guess my Itune's opened on my phone. I heard the song and started to panic because it wasn't the most appropriate song. I started fumbling through my purse to quickly turn it off..... well I didn't get to in time. Right in the middle of the doctors office you heard (on full blast), "2 Chainz!" I'm not sure how long it played, I was in such a panic to turn it off. I was pretty embarrassed. The nurse just started laughing and said, "Don't worry about it- I listen to Kid Rock on my way to work!" Good times :)
