32 weeks;8 or less to go!

Pretty soon Michael and I will be able to say that we are having a baby next month!  That is just CRAZY!!  We are still gathering the last few stuff we need for her which isn't a lot!  Her room is done but unfortunately we forgot the metal part to the crib that holds the mattress in my garage in NC, so we haven't been able to finish putting her crib together :(  She will be co sleeping in the play yard that is right beside our bed for the first few weeks and my parents will bring it down when they come and visit us so it's not a big deal, I just wish we could have it all done!  We also need to hang up some pictures in her room as well as her name.  

Nesting has kicked in and although we have washed her newborn clothes, I'm sure I will be washing them again.  Let's hope one time is enough lol!

I had my first appointment at the Ob-gyn clinic and got to meet my new doctor!  She was great and very friendly!  I also got enrolled in classes to take while Michael is in school :)  I am very excited! Only a few more weeks and we will get to see who she looks like! :)

Life Lately;

We have been in Florida for 10 days today!  

It has definitely been different but we are getting used to living with each other and learning how to work as a team.  Michael has only been in class one day so far and tomorrow he will start for good.  This means he will get up in the morning around 3:45-4:00 and not get home until after 7...the joys of MOS school :)  We did find out however that the first Tuesday of every month is a training day and therefore he will only have to go to first formation and then he is home with me for the rest of the day!  This will be especially great when E is here since Michael will still be in school full time and the majority of the time we will spend together will be on the weekends.  

While we have been getting settled in the weather has been nothing but bipolar!  We have had rain, sun, and crazy wind, but it is finally starting to get warm and I know once it starts it is not going to stop!  I'm excited to be able to wear shorts and dresses especially since I am getting bigger and I know once it gets warm I will be burning up all the time!  

Today I have reached the 8 month mark and have hopefully less than 8 weeks until our sweet baby girl will be here!  

I will post our 32 week update and picture later! 

Until then,

30weeks; 10 to go!

This is the last chalkboard picture that I will be doing in North Carolina, because Friday we are heading to Florida!  I am very excited and can't wait for Michael and I to finally be a family.  Stay tuned for a moving blog and ones about our apartment, and how it's going in Florida!

As for Baby E!:

We had our last OB appt in NC today, and she was going great as normal, She actually kicked the doctor which made both of us laugh ;)  Dr. seems to believe she is head down which is good, but she could move again lets just hope she doesn't go breech!  Our showers were wonderful and the only thing we are lacking is the crib for her mattress but we do have lots of gift cards that we can use to buy it once we get to Florida!  I am so excited to set up her nursery and get all the ideas I have for it out of my creative brain!  Stay tuned for pictures of that too! ;)

See you next week!
