Nesting!




I went to the doctor yesterday and everything was about the same as last week except for the baby AND I are getting bigger!!! She said everything is right on track. The baby is supposed to be gaining 1oz per day now!


A couple of weeks ago Allyson and I went to our new house to paint the baby's room! This is the only room that BR has let me paint so far. The green color is a little too green but it kind of grows on you and it is my favorite room in the house!
Stay cool!

Dr. Appointment

Hello!
Today was a great day at the doctors! Minus the bus driver harrassing me for using BR's free UIC bus pass! Shame on him for being so mean to a pregnant lady! I guess BR will have to fork over the $2.25 from now on!!!!

The doctor was nice this week- she said I am on the "home stretch." Usually she acts like I am not pregnant so this is a big step for her!
My BP was 100/60 and I only gained 2 lbs. Brandon was betting on 3, so I won! The heartrate was the same as it has been- 140. The doctor poked around on my belly for a while and is estimating the baby weighs 5.25lbs. Yay! Everything is right on track and if I go into labor now (let's hope not!) she would not try to stop it. Next appointment is next week.

The baby gets hiccups about 3 times a day now! Some of my friends have been lucky enough to feel them! I am still feeling fabulous. No swelling! Once in a while one of my feet looks a little bit puffy and I wonder if this is the day its going to blow up, but then the next day everything is back to normal again. I have been out a lot going to bachelorette parties and weddings and everyone calls me a trooper, but I feel great! I know I am lucky! It may not last- we can reassess this after the 4th of July...

This weekend was Colleen's wedding in Lake Geneva and a shower with college friends that Brooke hosted. Everything was lovely, but silly me forgot to take pictures!

Hugs and kisses from Kel, BR, & Baby

Dr. Appointment




Today I went to the doctor for a check up and now I have to start going every 2 weeks!
My BP was 102/60 and I have gained 25lbs. The baby's head is down-good news!- and the heart rate was 135.
Thursday is our first childbirth class, fun, fun!

COD Baby Shower


Sunday was our baby shower with BR's dental school friends. We are so lucky to have made so many wonderful friends from his school!!! It was a beautiful day out and we got a lot of adorable gifts that I played with for a long time when we got home! Special thanks to Julie and Jay for hosting the shower!

My new crush.....







Baby Owen!






Our first nephew, Owen Patrick Fox was born on Wednesday May 27th! He was 7lbs and 20in long. He is so cute and so small! Brittany, Brian and Baby are all doing well. We drove to St. Louis to see them yesterday.
Notice I made us wear blue for Owen's birthday!

Baby's New Place!





We closed on our house last Monday!!! It is right in between my parents' house and Brandon's parents' house! This is a picture of me in the back yard.


The most exciting part is that now the baby will not have to sleep in a drawer in our one bedroom apartment! He/she gets its own room! So here is the nursery that I am recreating. It is all organic and soooo cute! I can't wait to start painting!
