School Shower!

On Wednesday, my team threw me a beautiful shower at school. 

 

I LOVE working at Bryant.  I love my students, my coworkers, and the atmosphere.  Everyone I work with truly enjoys their job and it is obvious they love working with children.  I'm so thankful to be surrounded by such great people! 

 

Here are some pictures from the shower:

 

Super cute table decor:

My team bought us the Pack n Play.  We set it up that night!  This is will be Reagan's bed for the first couple of months:

 

Thank you again to all of my coworkers for the beautiful shower and the gifts for Reagan!  Throwing a shower is alot of hard work and we are so thankful!  Thank you again!

 

Baby Shower!

This past Saturday, Jane and Ann threw me a beautiful shower at Jane and Glenn's house.  It was wonderful!  Jane and Ann worked so hard and it was perfect!  Thank you so much for a wonderful shower! 

Here are some pictures!

Thank you so much for the wonderful shower!  So many people traveled such a long way to celebrate Reagan and we are so grateful.  Reagan is surrounded by so many amazing people!  Thank you again and again!

 

Also, congratulations to Sarah and David on their new son, Arden.  We are so happy for you! 

 

 

33-35

Well, we are almost there!  Exactly 1 month away from her due date- May 21.  I'm not sure, but I'm thinking she will be here before then.  I'm still thinking May 10, but I've heard some predictions as early as April 30.  Who knows?!

 

Reagan is growing like a weed!  Dr. Glenn says she's measuring about 2 weeks ahead.  According to my What to Expect app she's around 6 pounds and 19-22 inches long.  It seems like she's starting to run out of room in there.  She's still pretty active in the afternoon and night.  Feeling her move around is the most amazing feeling.  I can't wait to meet her! 

 

 

 

 

 

Sleep: For some reason, I've developed the lovely habit of waking up at 3 AM on the dot.  Not sure what this is about.  Sometimes I'm able to go back to sleep and other times I can't.  Everyone says that's God's way of preparing me for a newborn ;)

Missing anything:  Energy.  I'm pretty tired these days. 

 

Food Cravings: None that I can think of

Exercise:  Sadly, the exercising has come to a halt.  My feet have started swelling at the end of the day.  I've found the best thing is to come home and prop those babies up.  However, as soon I get the green light to exercise after I have Reagan- watch out!   

 

Food Aversions: none really

 

Symptoms:  Swelling in my face, fingers, and feet

 

Happy or Moody:  Happy!

 

Looking forward to: Meeting Reagan!  The bags are packed and we are ready to go! 

 

 

 

 

 

Baby Shower!

This Saturday, my friends, mom and sister threw me a beautiful shower!  I'm so grateful to have such amazing women in my life.  I hope Reagan is lucky to enough to have friends and family as wonderful as mine! 

Here are some pictures:

Look at those precious outfits! Reagan is going to be looking super cool!

 

 Love the puff balls and Reagan sign!

 Kristen's masterpiece!

 Not only was this cake beautiful, it tasted amazing!!!

 

Yummy food! 

 

 Cute party favors!

My mom, sister, and I:

 

 Dave and Claire Bear.  Claire kept saying, "It's Reagan's birthday!"  I love that little girl!

 

The fabulous hostesses:

 This was so cute!  Everyone got a quilt square and wrote message to Reagan on it.  My mom is going to sew it together!

 

 Stacey, Meggie, and Cindy:

 

Jenny and I-  We are due within days of each other!  Bradley and Reagan are going to be best buds!  

 



 

Jane aka GiGi and I:

 I forgot to take pictures of everyone once the shower started :/  Thank you so much to everyone for coming and showering Reagan with goodies!  We are so blessed to have you as friends!

The Nursery!

Jerry and I are finally done with Reagan's nursery!   Hooorrraaayyyyy!!!

Here are some pictures:

Welcome to Reagan's room!  The R was made by Kristen:

 

 The pillow in the chair was created by Stacey:

 

The picture reads, "May your heart always be joyful and may your song always be sung.  May you stay forever young."

 

The sign reads: "You are my sunshine."

 

 We plan on putting a big picture of Reagan in the empty pink frame: 

 

 The changing table- already stocked with wipes, diapers, onesies, and other fun baby things:

 

 Reagan's closet- I'm pretty sure it's bigger than mine:

 

 You can never have too many diapers- so I'm told!

 

 You can also never have too many clothes!

 

 The precious bow holder that my sister made:

 

 The BEAUTIFUL bedding my mom made for me!

I'm so proud of the finished product!  It has been very fun decorating this room for Reagan.  Now all we need is baby! 

31-32

Well, we are on our way to week 33!  In fact, it is officially 50 days until Reagan's due date (May 21.)  However, I'm hoping she will be here a bit earlier than that.  My guess is May 10 and Jerry's guess is May 13. 

Reagan currently weighs around 4.5 pounds and is about 19 inches long.  She is also measuring about 34 weeks.  Her daily activities include making faces, hiccuping, swallowing, breathing, and doing gymnastics in my belly.  Over the weekend she was pressing her foot against my stomach so I pressed back.  I don't think she appreciated this, because she moved her foot then a few seconds later gave me a swift kick in the ribs.  Feisty little girl!  Where on earth would she get that from? ;)

Sleep: Not so well.... I've heard this is pretty common at this point.  I just can't seem to get comfortable.   

Missing anything:  a good nights rest

Food Cravings: not really

 

Exercise: At this point, I'm trying to work out at least 2 times a week.  My workouts consist of lifting weights and doing lunges, squats, and leg lifts with lots of breaks.  It doesn't take much to get my heart rate up. 

 

Food Aversions: not really

 

 

Symptoms: I'm pretty tired by the end of the day.  I'm also starting to swell a bit.  However, I'm trying really hard to not let this slow me down. 

 

 

Have you started to show yet: I'm not really sure this question is necessary.

 

 

Happy or Moody: happy!! 

 

 

Looking forward to: The home stretch!  I'm also looking forward to Reagan's Baby Showers!

 

 

Jerry also continues to break the world record on best husband ever.  He's super sweet and supportive.  I know I say this every post, but I'm soooo lucky. 

Please pray for a safe, happy, and healthy next 7 weeks! 

 

 

We also got our maternity pictures.  Thank you Paige for doing such a beautiful job!  We love the pictures! 

 

 

 

Easter!

Happy Easter!  We had a great time spending time with family!

This morning we went over to my sister and Dave's for brunch.  Claire and Luke are getting so big!  Claire recentely got her hair cut and she looks like such a big girl.  She is so cute and Luke's is such a sweet baby!  Here are some pictures:

 

Lauren and Luke!  Looking good, Lauren!  

 "This egg is not colored?!"

 What a pretty little lady!

After Lauren's we went over to Jerry's Grannie's house.  We enjoyed a yummy lunch and spending time together.  Today was such a beautiful day! 

Once we got home Jerry decided to do a little yard work.  Here are some before and after pictures:

 

Jerry did a great job while I "supervised."

 

I hope everyone had a fab Easter!
