What a crazy week!

What a week! After my last post things sure did get busy in our household! Sophy got a stomuch bug. Not a big deal, but a lot of mess to clean up. It only lasted 24 hours so that wasn't too bad. The next day she cut TWO teeth! Yes, the baby that had no teeth now has 12! She was cranky and fussy for the next few days because her mouth hurt her. She is now Much better!
On Saturday I came down with Sophy's bug! Not fun to say the least! Only bad part was that I wasn't just sick, I was in pain! So I went to the hospital and sure enough, I was having contractions. I was severely dehydrated so I ended up there for the day with an iv. As soon as they got the first iv bag in me the contractions stopped and I felt much better. the rest of the time there was just boring. The next day was my church baby shower. It was a lot of fun. The girls did a great job decorating and I was surprised by how much this little girl got! She was truly showered with love! I had a doctor appointment yesterday and she said the baby looks good. The baby is right where she should be and the happy news is I've only gained 3 pounds! Yea!
In all of this Jeff has been great. He ran to the store, sat bored at the hospital, and even helped with the house work a little. He has been a rock through it all and somehow always manages to keep from getting sick.

33 weeks! Where does the time go?

I know I haven't posted in a while. I haven't been on the computer too much at all lately. I have been busy with Sophy and friends. For those of you who asked Trish and Annabelle are doing great. Annabelle even smiled a true smile at me the other day! I can't believe she's already old enough to smile! Sophy is doing well. We are all three of us fighting allergies, but it is that time of year! The new baby is growing very quickly now. I have definitely gained weight now and have a hard time finding clothes to fit me, even a lot of my maternity clothes don't fit anymore. I have a very busy couple of weeks coming up. I'm having an ultrasound on Friday to check size and position. I'll try to post pictures as soon as I can. My friends from church are throwing me a baby shower on Sunday. I'm very excited about it! I have a new dress (that fits!), I got my toe nails painted, and I got a haircut so I'll look cute for all the pictures. It still seems like time is flying by. I guess that feeling will only get worse. I'm actually not too anxious about the new arrival, just busy!
Here's what Baby Center says about the new baby:

This week your baby weighs a little over 4 pounds and measures 17.2 inches from the top of his head to his heels. Thanks to his recent weight gain, he's losing that wrinkled alien look. Most of your baby's bones are hardening now, but his skull is still quite pliable. It's actually in separate pieces with spaces in between. This flexible structure allows your baby's head to compress so it can fit through your relatively narrow birth canal. The pressure on the head during birth is so intense that many babies are born with a conehead-like appearance. This is totally harmless, normal, and temporary. Your baby's head will quickly take on a more rounded appearance, but his skull plates won't completely fuse until he's about 9 to 18 months old.

31 weeks and counting...

Everything is very well here. Sophy is growing and learning everyday! She can now eat applesauce with a spoon neatly! I'm so proud! She also knows the first 4 abc's. Just not the rest, although she does try to sing the whole song. She is quickly leaning to walk next to mommy and hold my hand so that I don't have to carry her all the time. That has been nice for me since my tummy is now getting BIG! Can you believe it's already March and I'm 31 weeks along! I only have 8 weeks left! I used to tell myself "theres no need to feel worried or rushed until after Christmas", then Christmas came and went. Then I told myself "theres no need to be worried or rushed until after Trish has her baby." and then she had Annabelle two weeks ago! Then I told myself "Rebbecca still has to have her baby so don't worry" and I found out yesterday that Rebbecca will be induced on Thursday! So now I'm starting to worry a little. Time is going so fast! I have the next several weekends busy which only makes time go by faster. This kid will be here before I know it...(and Courtney will finally know her name!)
Here is what Baby Center says about the new baby: This week, your baby measures about 16 inches long. He weighs a little over 3 pounds and is headed for a growth spurt. He can turn his head from side to side, and he's beginning to accumulate a layer of fat underneath his skin in preparation for life as a newborn. As a result, his arms, legs, and body are filling out.
