We have hit 39 weeks! Woohoo!

Tuesday at Tumblebees was full of humor with our friends at the gym. Gabby decided for Halloween she was going to be me.. Don't we look similar! Haha! Heidi dressed up as Lauren for Halloween. It was quite funny and even funnier to watch them try to coach all day with their big ole bellies in the way. What a great idea girls, it definitely made for some humor!




Here is a belly pic for everyone at 39 weeks and 1 day.. Notice how much my child has dropped! Yes I am carrying one heavy pumpkin!!

We're hoping little Ava makes her appearance soon! We can't wait to see her!

Ava's Room is DONE!!

Finally after months and months of work, Stephen and I have finished Ava's room and we LOVE it!! Now she just has to come so we can show it to her.. Hehe!











Her changing table is all ready with everything that you can imagine.. Then there is the wall with the great grandmother's picture frames that will show all of Ava's big moments throughout her first year... Then there is the corner with her closet, my diaper bag (LOVE IT!) and her swing. Her swing probably won't stay there, but for now thats where it resides..




In case you were worried, whether or not Ava had enough stuff, here is her closet!

We're at a stand still..

Sooo after last weeks excitement of gaining the 1cm, this weeks appointment showed absolutely no change! Booo! Oh well, apparently she is quite comfy where she is. We did find out she is in fact doing really well, and because she is not looking to be a big baby we are going to keep waiting it out. If she hasn't come by Nov. 6th, then Dr. Ross is going to induce us and get her here. It is really important to me that Dr. Ross is there, and she happens to be on call that weekend. So, if Ava has not made her appearance by her due date we will be looking toward Nov. 6th. Besides that I did have to have some blood drawn to see if anything shows up concerning my being nauseas and sick all of the time.. We'll see.

This picture I took at 37 weeks and 1 day. Getting bigger and bigger!


This weekend I plan to have pictures up of Ava's room and her stroller so stay tuned!!

Internet Back!

Okay so now that we have internet again, my goal is to actually keep up with my blog for everyone to know how things are going.. One of my friends has an amazing blog and it has inspired me! Hehe! At this point, I am at 36 weeks and my body hurts everywhere!! Well maybe not my toes but everywhere else! I have a doctor's appt. tomorrow with my actual doctor (yay!) and we'll be able to see where I am at in this process. I have a LONG list of questions for her tomorrow including questions about the swine flu vaccine.. I just don't know. Besides that I have a LONG to do list for the weekend that I fully plan to accomplish!

I'm going to include some pictures that I haven't put up from things that have been going on in the past 20 weeks since I posted last..

These are a few 3d/4d images.. She had her feet up by her head most of the time and her hands in her face so it was difficult to get some good pictures. There are more pics on Facebook.







I've had three amazing showers! The first one in Greensboro at the home of Lauren and Nat Hawkins put on by Lauren and Holly. The second one in Wilmington at the First Baptist Activity Center put on by our families, and the third one in Greensboro at Ham's Lakeside Restaurant put on by the Branson and Lombardino families with my team!

I have watched my belly grow and grow and grow.. This is from 22 weeks, 30 weeks, and 32 weeks..
Alot going on and still alot left to do! But we're getting there..
