BUT! The baby shower is happening this weekend finally! I'm pretty excited, should be fun! I hope most of the people I invited get to come! I need DIAPERS PEOPLE! Haha, really that is about all I need, diapers and wipes. I'm pretty set on clothes thanks to the fb online yard sale and Chloe, and I have all my baby 'gear'. I think mom and dad are buying me a stroller/car seat jogger. Its purple!! Check it out!
I LURVEEE IT!! This will be a total of 4 carseats that I have though, haha. I did give one to the mother in law, and I need one extra for Lee's truck. But not sure what I will do with the other, one of the extras I have is the same exact seat as the purple but in grey and green. I don't know if I'll keep it or the other flowery one. Probably keep the green though since it will go on the jogger and same base.
Jamie and my mom are doing the party. It's going to be all fall stuff, pumpkins, leaves, apple cider, pumpkin pie, etc. YEAH, I love fall! Its actually been kind of a neat time to have a baby. Christmas is magical anyway and adding a baby just makes it even more so. I'm glad she is due at the BEGINNING of December though!
Thursday is Halloween! Stinks though cause its supposed to be stormy/rainy. :( Chloe is so excited too. I hope it holds off or we do it inside or something. We are going to our church's trunk n treat. Chloe is going to be a 'ballerina' puppy, lol! I made her the cutest fall colored tutu and bought her some floppy puppy ears. Then she is going to wear a brown shirt/leggings and I'm going to paint her nose black, haha. She is going to be stinking adorable!! Here is what it looks like sort of:
So! I am at 35 weeks today! Feeling pretty good really. Probably the best I have my whole pregnancy here in the last month or so, weird right?? I'm not as tired, my reflux is under control now thanks to prescription meds, and I am not out of breath every time I try to move around. I do still think this kid is head up tho, but I'm trying not to worry about it until my next ultrasound at 36 weeks. Which I'm getting a 'freebie' this Friday too from my sister in law, hehe. She is head director at a womens center like I said in my previous post, and scheduled me to do a ultrasound with their tech Friday for the fun of it. Hopefully she will have that hiney up by then!! She must know I'm talking about her, she is pushing out and around in there, lol. She sits on the sides a lot more then Chloe. At night when I lay on my side I have to be careful how I lay or she lets me know I'm squishing her, lol.
I'm excited about meeting Shelby soon, but also nervous. I know everyone says you will love your second just as much, your heart expands, etc. But its hard to imagine. I hope I don't have trouble bonding with her. I had a bit of a problem connecting with Chloe for a while. I loved her of course, but didn't feel that specialness I wanted for quite some time after. I think it will be a bit easier this time though, having already done the mommy thing, and being able to share it all with my sweet girl. She is going to be such a help too! And this time I will have the mother in law there close to help, feed us, watch Chloe, etc. Last time she was in the hospital taking care of her baby.
Baby appointment tomorrow! I also start going every week now, ah! I have my fun strep B test tomorrow too, ughhh. Maybe the nurse will do it, haha. I'm also kind of nervous about having my weekly 'checks' by this new doctor too. One, he is a man, and two, with him being a man, men have bigger hands! LOL. I'll survive though!
Here is the week 35 belly!

Wide load!! Lets compare with Chloe's pregnancy...

| 35 weeks - Baby Chloe |
LOTS bigger, ugh! O well, I've pretty much embraced it now, yeah, I'm eight months pregnant, I'm big. Here we go. Lol.
So lets get on with this weekend! We had lots of fun! First on Saturday we visited 4D Farms to get our pumpkin and have lots of other fun. Chloe didn't want to leave. Next year will be even more fun with a nearly one year old Shelby along!
Pic overload!

| Jumpy jumpin! Check out my cute boots socks, lol |
 |
| She saw this one and was like GOT IT! |
 |
| Love that sweet face! |
 |
| I'm the biggest pumpkin out there by far, haha |
 |
| Duck races! |
So as you can tell we all had a blast. It might be $10 a head to get in there but its worth it! They have so much to do and Chloe has a blast. If you zoom in on the pumpkin picture you can see Chloe's little bitty green pumpkin she found, she had to have the tiniest one! Thankfully they didnt charge us for it, lol. So after that we headed to the grocery store and then home to put a wore out Chlo Chlo down for a nap! (and me too, haha) Lee went out and shot guns a bit with his brothers. That night was the Auburn game but we didn't watch it, it was Lee's youngest bros birthday weekend so we went over there after Chloe's nap and ate dinner with them. The game was against a very easy opponent anyway and we smeared them. We are doing so good this year!!
Sunday! Woke up SO SLEEPY and tired so decided to play hooky and stay home from church. Then I got Chloe and we played in bed with daddy for a bit before we got up and she helped me make french toast. It was SO good. While we were eating we did a few devotionals from our church then got ready for the first event of the day, pictures!! I've been wanting to take pregnancy pictures for a while now and finally had a good day for it!
Some of my favs:
Love them!! They came out so good, especially for being taken on a tripod with a remote shutter, lol. I was kind of dissapointed in the lack of color in the trees, but it still looks fallish, I think. And Chloe did so well, she is so photogenic anyway! Lee on the other hand I had to prod a bit, lol.
After that we headed to Decatur to find a present for Lee's bro, then back home before we left out again to Birmingham to eat at a restaurant he picked. On the way home we were listening to a old country station and Chloe was so funny, she kept telling me and Lee to sing (since we were most of the time anyway, we love the old 90's and older country!) and clapping, etc. It was too cute. Ate some cheesecake at the in laws then to bed!!
So all in all, fun fun weekend. Also! Forgot to say our appraisal came in GREAT! 4k above what we needed! So we are just waiting for the last few things to get tied up and hear when our closing date will be. Our loan lady thinks it should be next week. Yeah! Can't wait to get the shop started. I wish we could have gotten it done before the baby gets here, but don't see that happening! I'm still so thankful my insurance is covering my pregnancy. We should just owe about $200 more on the dr and then the $500 to the hospital.
Well I think I have about 20 pages here, so better shut up! Until next time!
