Updated Bump

I go to the doc on Tuesday for my 34 weeker... Hopefully Scarlett turned by then but as of right now her head is still under my ribs! I have started accepting that a C section might come into play but am still hoping for otherwise. I DONT want to stay in the hospital for 4 days!! Time is coming to an end and we are back in Crystal River for the time being. We might make it back home next weekend for Labor Day and to celebrate the Hubbys 30th!!!! I really wanted to have a party for him but that is not a possibility considering the circumstances. He actually might have a baby by his birthday!
I am feeling pretty good but I do have my "miserable I cant seem to do anything" days! I miss bending over and cant wait to do that again!
Of course Montana thinks this is his!!!
33 weeks! No longer a bump but a Mountain!


Family Visit

It was a much needed visit with my fam last week! Everyone had a blast out on the boat (I didnt attend!) and the girls got a ton of sun and the boys played a ton of golf! Everyone was surprised at how big I have gotten. Scarlett got tons af attention! Its sad to think the next time I see them will be when Scarlett is already here.... I miss being so close to at least ONE of my parents or siblings but soon enough that might change!=)

Notice how the BELLY is completely blocking CHLOE!! Sorry Chlo..... =)

Update!!

31 Weeks with Big Brother
HORRIBLE pic! But you can see the Beginning of nursery!! 30 weeks here!

29 weeks looking like a purple people eater! ha!

Me and one of my pregger besties! I am 28 weeks here I think Lis is 18 weeks here!





Today I am 32 weeks! So I have 7 more weeks to go until this baby is here! As most of you know I will be delivering in Gainesville, FL as it is close to where Joe is working right now. My doc is suggesting induction at 39 weeks but we will have to see. Joe is getting NERVOUS that I might go before then and then we wont make it to the hospital as it is an hour away from our place in Crystal River! I tell him that only happens in the movies!








Last week Joe and I realized that we met 8 years ago one night in San Francisco..... What a wonderful night that was.... I just "knew" I was going to spend the rest of my life with him... I cant believe it has been that long! I was only 20 years young then! We are so used to it being "Joey and Claire" and now it will be all about that little Scarlett! I cant wait to see how Joe and I will be as parents and grow stronger as a new addition to the family arrives!








I went to the doc on Friday for my 32 weeker.... My midwife let me see her!! I was SOOOOO excited since we havent seen her since 19 weeks... and boy has she grown! It turns out that she is breech! I had a hunch that she was since her hiccuping is right below my rib cage. She still has time to turn so I have been rooting her on.... Turn baby girl turn! Mommy REALLY doesnt want a C section.... Though the good news is I will probably get another ultrasound before she comes! I cant wait to see her again! Unfortunately, daddy missed out this time... but maybe he will see her next time!








I drove home yesterday in our new car! Joe and I purchased a new car on Saturday! We traded the truck in for a SUV for our GROWING family=) We LOVE it so far but I know Joe will miss his truck.... but soon enough I am sure he will get another one. As most of you know it takes 5 hours to get to our house from where Joe's work is.... Montana and I were rushing to leave because if the tropical storm Claudette was headed right towards us and I needed to get home to pull all our patio chairs in and prepare for a possible hurricane! We made it safely in the new ride and Claudette hit lastnight and it really was NO big deal.... My power didnt even go out which I was happy about!








I am so excited because my entire family is coming tomorrow!! My parents and sisters are flying in tomorrow and then both of my brothers are coming in on Friday. I cant wait to see everyone! I think that all might be a bit surprised at how BIG this momma has gotten! Hopefully there wont be to many "fat" jokes!=)








As far as being "ready" for this baby I guess we are! I will post my nursery pics soon.... It has turned out amazingly BEAUTIFUL! I still am waiting on my window treatments that my Aunt is making and I have a few more things to do and then it will be done! I also had to do a small nursery is Crystal River for when we go see daddy during the week.... But needless to say we are ready as we will ever be!








Well that is about it.... stay tuned!

Doggy Days of Summer

Whispering to Montana how great of a big brother he is going to be!

Packing for Crystal River=(


His new Cousin Beaux!



Montana really hates the summer because it is so hot down here! And momma isnt liking the heat to much either this summer due to the preggerness but hey we only have a few weeks left!









Correction


I have a correction to make! We are spelling Scarlett's name with TWO t's not one! Initially we were going to do one but we are doing TWO! So her name is going to be spelled SCARLETT!=)


Here is a pic at 19 weeks in utero!
