What a difference a year makes...

This week last year Heath and I took Little trip to St. Augustine, FL for Valentines Day.

While were there we did this....



We visited the Ripley's Believe It or Not Fertility Statues....

On this same week, one year later, we are having our baby shower.

Now, I am not saying that this little visit to the statues had anything to do with that.

What I am saying is we visited them and 5 months later we saw this...

You be the judge!

If you would like to visit them in person, here is their 2011 schedule.

On my way to 8 Months!

I have been MIA in the blogging world for awhile, mostly because I am completely overwhelmed with things that I have going on right now. I am swamped at work and have a million things on my To-Do list at home. As a matter of fact I probably shouldn't even be sitting here right now, I should be doing something else...but, I'm not. I instead choose to share with you my lovely 7th month. Enjoy!

  • I have officially started seeing the Dr. every two weeks.
  • Heartburn = Massive Understatement
  • I have Braxton-Hicks contractions nearly everyday, sometimes several times a day.
  • Baby Boy is STRONG! I generally have to push various body parts back in because he apparently enjoys a good stretch
  • My belly last measured 32 cm...my uterus was 31.5 cm of that! Which means my entire stomach is uterus... makes me cringe a little!
  • Besides Heath, Kristi and Alyssa have been the only other two to feel him move. He gets shy when people try to feel him wiggling
  • I am registered at the hospital
  • He is in an oblique position, which he seems to prefer. He has yet to be head down. Right now head is directly at my left hip and booty is at my right rib cage. He love to ball up on the right side of my rib cage which makes for an interesting stomach shape.
  • I can only lay down for about 5-6 hours before my ribs start to ache and I either have to get up for awhile or prop myself upright into an almost sitting position.
  • I am almost as tired as I was in the first trimester. This exhaustion paired with my work load right now is not the best combination.
  • I am moving slower every day, if I move to fast my muscles protest.
  • While I still love chocolate cake, my current fascination is with Brey.ers Vanilla Ice Cream
  • I am so ready to meet him I can't stand it. Every baby show I see makes me cry.
  • I have also suddenly realized he is going to have to come out sooner than later...I am not exactly sure I feel about that process just yet...
  • I still love being pregnant!

Here is the photo recap...me at a full 7 months.

I CAN NOT believe how the time has flown!!! Next week we will be in Texas for the first baby shower. I am so excited to see everyone. Look for pictures of our weekend coming soon...if I don't drown under my own To Do list before then!
