7 weeks 5 days....

This past week has been a busy one! Sunday, October 25th was my baby shower, and it was beyond anything I had imagined! My mom did such an amazing job with all the planning, decorations, and delicious homemade food. The menu consisted of bread bowls with broccoli cheese soup, salad, caramel dip with tons of fresh fruit, donuts and apple cider… pretty much all of my favorites. We ate lunch, played a couple games (trivia game, baby food guessing game which I was horrible at, and a memory game), opened gifts, and devoured a delicious cake. We received so many amazing gifts and are truly blessed to have such wonderful family and friends in our lives. I do have to say Jaiden is one spoiled little guy. I can’t wait to see him exploring each and every one of his new toys.

Tuesday was our 32 week appointment which lasted for a whole 5 minutes! The further along I get, the faster the appointments are. This one consisted of me weighing in, listening to babys heartbeat, and then measuring my belly. Kevin and I both had a little look of panic on our faces after we were told that the heartbeat was 128 bpm. The lowest it’s been since I was 12 weeks along was 158 bpm so we were definitely a little nervous. Our Dr reassured us that it was within the range of it being right where it should be. Up until this week all of our appointments have been in the morning and this one was at 1:50. Our Doctor said that there is a good chance that he was in a ‘food comatose’ from me just eating lunch and that he was simply taking a nap. He assured us that there was no need to worry about a thing.

Our house is starting to look more and more ready for baby to come. When taking a step into our front door it’s hard to overlook the swing, bouncy seat, activity gym, pack ‘n play and so on. Kevin sure has been busy this week! Who knew there would be so many things to put together?! I should have taken a picture of our living room before we set up all the baby gear because it’ll probably be awhile before its neat and tidy again!
