Baby Will at 35 weeks.

We had our 35 week sonogram on Friday October 28th. Baby Will has grown so much. He was weighing a big 6lbs! The sonogram tech told us that he is right at the 50th percentile. She said that everything looks wonderful... he is growing beautifully. If he continues to bake until his due date, he could arrive into this world weighing 8 1/2 pounds.  Friday was the greatest day... I was a very proud mommy!! 

34 weeks

It's a baby shower weekend..!!

My Texas friends are throwing a baby shower for Will and I this weekend.  Tina and my aunt are on their way into town. I am really looking forward to spending time with family and friends on Saturday! I'll put up shower pictures at the end of the weekend. For now, here is the latest belly picture....

Those stripes are working hard.

32 weeks

We had another doctor's appointment this week.  For those of you that don't think my belly is big enough... back off:) Doctor says that I am doing great! My belly is measuring 32, which is right on target with where we are.  I know this will be hard for most of you to believe, but I have put on a grand total of 34 pounds so far. Unfortunately, that number is only going to go up. I was told that the Will should put on 1/2 a pound a week until we deliver. I figure that means another pound a week for me.... you do the math.  Matt and I were able to hear William's heart beat while we were there. His little heart was beating at 135 this week. I love his little heart beat. 

The rug and canvas print that I ordered for the nursery came in this week.  I have to tell you, I was really nervous. We had already sent one rug and one picture back, which meant I had to pay to ship those items back. I don't think Matt would have been too happy to hear that we would be shipping more items back. Luckily, they both worked out this time! I couldn't be happier with the end result.

Matt flew to Kansas City this weekend. This is Derek's senior year and Matt wanted to catch a high school match while he still could. Matt and I had originally planned to go back for Derek's senior night to watch a game, but the baby on the way has changed those plans. I am in the no fly zone, so that meant Matt had to go back without me. I am so happy that Matt is able to go back for Derek's tournament, but I am super sad that I won't be able to see the fam as well. While Matt is in Kansas City representing the Montgomery Clan, I'll be here trying to knock some more items off of our forever long 'before Will gets here to-do list.' 

Next weekend my friends and co-workers are throwing me a baby shower. Tina and my Aunt Janet will be coming in town for that. I am starting to get really excited to see them and to celebrate our little guy on board with all of our Texas friends. It should be a fun weekend! 

31 weeks and counting....!

 Grow baby Will, grow! 

Each day Matt and I can feel that Will is getting stronger. His movements are more intense and his kicks really pack a punch. Tomorrow marks 32 weeks.  We have an appointment this week (for our every two week check).  This week Matt and I plan on talking to the doctor more about labor and delivery.... what can we expect, when will we know.... that kind of stuff. We are rookies at this, so we need to get all the details that we can. 

Matt has really started to cut back on his travels for work and is now starting to keep his phone on him at all times. We are getting down to crunch time. I realize that we still have 8 weeks to go, but we just never know. We hope that Will keeps on cooking and doesn't have an alternate plan.

Shout out to my kick ass husband moment: 

I am very thankful that Matt is able to slow his travels down during this time. He flew to Philadelphia this morning, but somehow managed to make it a day trip. So, he will be back at home late this evening. I know that this makes for a very long day for him. I wish I knew a way to express how thankful I am for the sacrifices that he is willing to make for me. Being able to snuggle up with him this evening is the best gift that he could give me after my long day.  My husband is amazing...! Thank you, dear.
