As you can see, our Baby Shower was this past Saturday. It was just fantastic!! My Mom & Sister out did themselves. And man do they have me pegged! It was a dessert party!! Mini cheesecakes, maccaroons, and homemade moon pies were just a few of the things that were there!! And Grammy Dot made a beautiful cake. It took quite a while to get through all those gifts! Of course, I had to take like 4 bathroom breaks, so that didn't help!! Otherwise, though, it was like having Christmas early! We got so many wonderful things! I'm throwing out a humongous thank you to everyone who was there and helped this day be so special. You all rock!

So, I had a Dr appointment last Wednesday, the 19th. Everything is going really well. I'm measuring perfect and the baby's heartrate was 150. Some people say that a fast heartrate means a girl. I'm actually really hoping its a girl now. Brett and I are having a horrible time trying to agree on a boy's name. I still want Connor, but he said there's this guy he doesn't like and his name is Connor. Huh?! He knows a guy who's son's name is Connor and so we can't have that name?! I don't get it. Boys are so weird!! Well, anyway, he wants Caleb. Which is nice, I guess, but I'm not sold on it. I looked at some others this morning and I like Colin, Connell, Davin, Garret, and Riley. So, we'll see.

ANYWAY!! Also wanted to put in here that the baby is head down. I'm really starting to freak out a bit!! Do you know that they're going to let me take home another person!!! WHOA!! Its a good thing that I have such an awesome family who'll hopefully be stopping by all the time to make sure I'm doing a good job!!

Well, guess that's about it for now. Next Dr appt is December 2nd. I hope everyone has a fantabluous Thanksgiving!!

Love you!!

Wow! 30 weeks! I know I'm saying it all the time, but I really can't believe how fast this pregnancy is going! Just 10 more weeks left! Okay, if I think about it too much I'll start really freaking myself out! I had a Dr appt yesterday. My glucose test came back normal, so yey for that. I'm slightly anemic, but normal is 35 and I'm 34.5 so its not horrible. I'm just going to take an extra iron pill when I take my vitamin. I only gained 1 pound! Whoo Hoo! That's 17 total. I'm so excited about that! Last thing I want to do is put on any extra weight. Nice to know this is pretty much all baby!

So, yesterday, Dr said the baby sounded like a boy. Okay, well, the last 2 times he said it sounded like a girl. This is just driving me crazy! Then he said I wouldn't get another ultra-sound until around 37 weeks. Well, after waiting this long, we might as well just leave it a surprise! So! Sorry for everyone who wanted to know, but it looks like we'll be waiting till the big day to find out what's in there!!

Mom & Gramma Dot go to Pittsburgh tomorrow morning for their annual shopping trip. I'm having Dad, Papa, and Kara & Craig over for dinner. Guess that means I need to get my house cleaned! Looks like a bomb went off in there!!

Anyway! Brett missed the same buck twice with his bow. He's all bummed out about it. Swears he's gonna get it even if he's got to wait till rifle season! We got our roof put on. All that has to be done is the floor in the baby's room. Once that's finished I'll be able to start putting the crib up and the furniture in the room. I'm hoping to have that all done before Christmas.

Well, I guess that's all that's going on. My appointments have been upped to every 2 weeks, so I'll probably have more to tell later on!

Hope to talk to you all soon!!
Love,
Amber
