Baby Shower in Fort Worth


Tummy time!

My super cute diaper bag!






My pregnant friend that is due in 4 weeks! Yay! Mac and Abigail will be buddies!




Played the game of guessing how big I am with a string. Everyone guessed way over.






The diaper crew, I liked the suspenders, very creative.















My two great friends that gave us this shower.



























Justin and I have been blessed by a good start of gifts for Abigail. We also feel very blessed by our new apartment. It is so spacious! I actually have counter space to bake and cook on, it's luxury living here. Abigail has her own room, and it is coming together. When it is more organized I will add pictures. As for now I wanted to add pictures of my shower.

Moving!

We have a move in date-- May 16th! So, all week I will be packing. Justin will pick up the baby furniture on Friday and get that moved in. Then, on Saturday move in everything. He is going to rent a U-haul. It's so nice all the offers we have had to help us move. We should be able to get moved in real quick. While I am at my shower, the boys will be moving our stuff across campus. Yay!! Finally, I get to start on the baby room!!
Some goodies about our new place is that our stove is new and much bigger than our last one, our fridge is bigger than our present one also and its new! There is so much more space. Wow, once I get the room together for Abigail everything is going to start feeling even more real.

Another update...

It looks like she is smiling... I can't believe how much she has grown in the past 6 weeks since our last sonogram.


Last week I went for my monthly check-up. I found out that I have low iron and am a little anemic. So, I am on an iron supplement twice a day now. I have not been sleeping good at night, I can't get comfortable. That does not help my energy level throughout the day. I also had my glucose testing, that came back good. I had gained to much weight in the past month, so now I have to watch my portions and SWEETS. I am trying hard, but I have never been this hungry before. Also, another thing they had checked was if my placenta had lifted, it has, they are not worried about that anymore now. Praise the Lord.

Please pray for my energy level--- I am taking three classes this summer plus counseling 6 clients. By the time Abigail gets here I am going to be exhausted and I need all the energy I can get!


I have started to box up things, having hopes of moving next week. They gave us a date of May 16th, but it's not set in stone yet.


A couple fun things:

Abigail now can recognize my voice and can hear music. It is so cool that when I turn on the radio she gets really active, she is either going to be a dancer or a singer. :) She really gets her groove on, its so funny.

The other night, Justin and I were laying in bed watching my belly go every which direction. Justin pushed on my belly and all of a sudden Abigail skids across to the other side, it was crazy to see! I can find her and push on her, it is so cool feeling her. I can't wait to hold her in my arms.
