Very Big and Round

August has been a fun baby month. We had a wonderful baby shower weekend. We are so lucky to have such great and generous family and friends. Not only were the baby showers fun so were playing with all the presents we got. Charlie and I had the best time putting things together and setting it up in the nursery. The nursery is so much fun now. Thanks to everyone for coming and super special thanks to all the hosts.


Baby update:

She is estimated to weigh 6lbs 4 ozs and healthy as can be

I am dilated a little bit so her arrival may be soon

Look at all the people at Team Chambers new house. They have the perfect party house.

The cutest baby shower cake. Made special by Miss Paisley.

The wonderful food spread.

So many presents that it filled up the Durango.

Justin almost had to walk home.

Hot,Tired and 44 days to go

I had a doctor's appointment this week. Everything looks great. All my stats look good. I have only gained 21 pounds. Which I have been told is really good but I feel huge and heavy. The baby is great. Her heart beat is good and they think she is head down. She was breech at the last ultrasound. I go back in two weeks and then every week after that. I told the doctor that I have been extremely tired and swollen. She smiled and politely said get used to it. My "pregnancy is not so bad" bubble burst. I am very uncomfortable and tired. I avoid the outside like the plague. I have 44 days left and I am over being pregnant.

On the bright side we are looking forward to the super baby shower Herschel, April and Paisley are throwing us. I have heard there will be games including one with a pile of dirt. Maybe you will have to sculpt my giant belly out of mud. To anyone coming to the shower make sure you ohh and aww over the fence. It is awesome.

We are getting our camera back from repair this week so I can post some pics soon.

FYI A few things I am looking forward to:

1) Of course holding Sophia in my arms!!!

2) seeing my feet again and being able to wear my Chacos or any of my other shoes

3) wearing my wedding rings on my fingers (Sorry Paisley)

4) sleeping on my stomache

5) not getting that look from Charlie that is a mix of pity and fright when I try to get off the couch , into and out of the car or bed, or when I am too tired to drive home from work

Our First Baby Shower

We had our first baby shower this past weekend. All the great people I work with threw a very nice shower Friday night. The food was fantastic and they all chipped in to buy us our baby stroller/car seat combo. I am touched by there generosity. Thanks to all the molecular and seed people. A super thanks to the organizers. Charlie and I had a great time. No worries Herschel! Our camera is getting fixed so I just have a few pics of the stroller.

Charlie expertly put this together and installed it in the car. We are ready to go!

Baby Weekend

This weekend was Baby Weekend. We decorated the baby's room and hall bathroom. We bought a new door for the nursery. We just need to paint it. The dots still need to go up on the wall. We need some creative assistance. But the room is looking great and makes me happy. The baby and I are doing well and keep getting good marks with the doctor. Our next appointment we will get an ultrasound and possible schedule the C-section. She is moving lots and you can see bumps in my belly when she moves. The past too days we have had baby class. Charlie and I both have enjoyed class although it reminds how soon she will be here. We are excited about more baby classes and some fun baby showers coming up. Charlie and I are having lots of fun and want to thank everyone for all the support they have been giving us.

Hello Third Trimester

We had our 3D/4D ultrasound yesterday. It was great! She is 100% a girl and we could see her face. She was a wiggle worm and kept putting her hands in front of her face. I guess she is a little camera shy. Her heart beat was good and she is 11 inches long (which is good). My blood pressure, sugar, protein, weight are all good. I have only gained 10 pounds so far. Although it feels much more. I have been feeling good but starting to feel uncomfortable at night and i have had some calf cramps. I can't believe we are in the home stretch. I am ready for her to be here and yet I have so much left to do.

6 Months and Counting

This post should probably be called lazy momma. Tiny is doing well and is moving lots. Now when she kicks you can see my belly jump. I had my first taste of being pregnant during the summer this past week. We were in Illinois and the heat and humidity were unbearable. My feet got so large my chacos didn't even fit. I had to wear my wedding rings on a chain around my neck. Everyone has warned me that being pregnant in the heat of summer is not going to be fun. But really! I am going to buy some maternity shorts and bathing suit this week. If you want to see me I will probably be in the air conditioning. I have lots of pictures to post but I am having camera issues. I will not be posting the picture of my giant feet.
The nursery is coming along. We need to decorate and buy some shelves but all the furniture is ready. I hope to work on the scrapbook this week.

Lazy Baby!

Finally a update. Tiny is taking after her dad already. We had our big ultrasound last month. Everything looked good and measured well. The baby was about 11oz and still a girl. I will try to post some pictures but we didn't have the best ultra sound tech. The pics and video aren't very good. We have another ultrasound next month that is 3D/4D. I had a check up today and the heart beat was in the 150s and all my test were good. I have been having some heartburn. I guess tiny is going to be a very hairy baby. Other than that I have been feeling good and look pregnant.
Charlie and I have been working on the nursery. It is looking good but we need to do some more decorating. Thanks to generous friends and family we have cute girl clothes and toys already.
