32 Week Check Up and Baby Shower with Co-Workers

On Monday I had my 32 week ultrasound to see how much Baby E weighs. The baby is weighing in at 5lbs already and I'm not due until December. The nurse measured the baby twice to make sure she was measuring correctly. We all were surprised by the weight of the baby. The doctor said if I go full term, the baby could weigh 9lbs. I go back on the 26th for a regular check up and then a week after that my doctor wants to do another ultrasound to see if the baby is continuing to gain weight. She wants me to watch my carb and sodium intake... so what am I supposed to eat then?! :) She said everything else looks good. Oh, and they gave me a few more pictures of Baby E, but the nurse typed the baby's gender on the photos, so I can't post them, sorry. I don't know why she did that, I wanted to show people because the pictures are of Baby E's face and profile. Oh well, I made sure to hide them from Matt and I told him not to look for them. :)

Also on Monday, some of my co-workers threw me a baby shower. We had a great time playing games, eating some yummy food, and opening presents. I got some cute outfits and baby necessities. Thank you guys!! :)

Walt Disney World Trip

Last week we went to Walt Disney Word with our friends Brian and Jessica and their son Aiden. We had been planning this trip since January when we found out that Disney was offering a military discount for service members and their families... it was too good to pass up! We visited all four parks while we were there. Most of these pictures were taken in the different countries that are represented in Epcot. We had a great time visiting the parks and spending time with our friends, the Kinney's, that we don't get to see very often.

30 Weeks

Sorry I have been slacking on putting up pictures of my belly. I kept forgetting to take a picture and the weeks flew by before I knew it. I am 30 weeks now and feeling pretty big. I really hope the fall weather kicks in down here soon because this hot and humid weather is driving me nuts! Baby E is moving all over the place and is especially active after I eat. I also just started feeling the baby hiccup... that is a funny feeling. :) My next appointment is on Oct 12th and they will be doing another ultrasound to check the baby's weight and to see if the baby's due date has changed at all.

My Baby Shower

My friend Arlene threw me a nice baby shower yesterday. We had a great time socializing, playing games, eating, and opening gifts. One of the games they played was to decorate a bib for Baby E. All of the bibs were so cute that it was hard to pick a winner. :) I received many nice gifts. Thank you guys so much!

Belgium?! What? Where is That?

We finally received orders to move!! We are moving to Belgium in May 2010. We are excited to move due to the fact that we have been in Georgia for almost 6 years now and we really would like to explore a new place. I am a little nervous about going overseas just for the fact that I have never left this country and I don't know what to expect over there. I am excited at the same time because of the travel opportunities that await us over there. There are so many places and things I have wanted to see in Europe and now I will finally get a chance to do that.

We won't be leaving until May, so we will still be here awhile. We plan on visiting our family and friends in California before we head out. Our home in Belgium will be open to anyone who wants to come and visit us. :) Hint, Hint... great vacation spot!

Updates...

I just wanted to give you guys a quick update on the prayer requests I had. David's recovery went very well and now he is getting back normal... just in time for school to start! Tessa's surgery went well... just praying that she will have a speedy and healthy recovery. Thank you all for your prayers!

My doctors appt. last week went well. The nurse had a hard time counting the heartbeats because the baby would not stay still. :) The baby has been very active this past week, so active that I can see my belly move up and down... really cool!

Prayer Request...

Please keep my new little niece Tessa in your prayers. She is only 2 weeks old and is in ICU because she is having problems with a vein that is too narrow to pump oxygen to her heart. She will need surgery but they do not know when. She has been transported to a hospital in L.A. where she will have the surgery.
