34 Weeks and Counting!

I am officially at 34 weeks! So, according to my doctor, in 4 more weeks, we better to be ready to rock n' roll at a moment's notice! Yikes!! I had an appointment last Tuesday, and the kiddo is officially head down, and she says he will be staying put...so Andy can cross "nag Liz about her posture" off of his list. Quick explanation on that one...he read somewhere that if the mom makes sure she has really good posture for the last couple months of pregnancy that you have a better chance of avoiding a breach birth, so he has been nagging me like a maniac about my posture!

I would say we are in full "nesting" mode. We got a ton of stuff crossed off our list this last weekend, including picking out a name!! Yahoo!! Sorry, you will have to wait to meet "Tiny" to find out his name...it's a secret! :) The nursery is 99% done, we just need to put up some nifty alphabet cards, and wait for the name block letters to arrive so we can put those up too. (well, I guess the name isn't a total secret...Andy, myself, and the nice lady at Goodnight Room in Bridgeport who ordered the letters know the name...sorry if I have insulted any of you!)

I am still feeling really great (knock on wood), and my complaints so far are that I can only wear my engagement ring and not my wedding band because my fingers are a little sausagy, and that I am tired of going to the bathroom 80 times a day!! I am feeling very fortunate though, because I know things could be much more uncomfortable!!

Andy and I were able to get away for a "One Last Hurrah" trip up to Seattle over New Years! After the long week he was gone working, it was much needed! We spent 4 days up there, catching up with Andy's college roommate Derek, his wife Bonnie, and their adorable baby girl, Madeline! We did some baby shopping (they have the best stores up there!!), went to the Space Needle, walked around Pikes Market Place, did the Underground City Tour, and just hungout, relaxed, ate yummy food, and the boys drank lots of microbrews! It was really nice to just get away for a few days and not worry about all things waiting for us at home!

I have another doctor appointment on the 27th, and from then on they will be weekly, and I am going to assume be much more eventful than the previous! I promise to keep you updated!!

Cheers to a fabulous and blessed 2009!!
