31 Weeks
9 more weeks (more or less!) to go! No pics of the belly yet this week. We loaned our camera to Andy and Shannon for Shannon's 1st marathon last weekend. Congratulations, Shanny! Belly is measuring 42 1/4 inches this week. Still feeling good, still working M-F, but can definitely feel like I run out of steam by about 3:00 every afternoon. I usually go home, lie down for a little while, then I'm ok. Not too uncomfortable yet, so I'm enjoying feeling good while I can!

30 Weeks
.jpg)
I'm going to try and take weekly pics and measurements for the rest of the duration. If you don't like pasty white skin, turn away, turn away!!! Belly is measuring at 42 inches. Doctor's appointment today went very well, nothing new, everything's right on time. Definitely hit home when the Dr. mentioned that I will be considered "term" in 7 weeks! GULP!Haven't had a chance to download pics from this past weekend's shower at the LeJeune's, but it was wonderful and we got even more beautiful gifts!

Baby shower #1 down, 1 more to go! My friend Shannon and I made our way back home for a baby shower given by Grom (with Poppa's help around the house!). I can't tell you how much fun we had and what beautiful gifts we got. But what touched me the most was how many people attended. It really made me so happy to se so many faces I hadn't seen in months and even years!
I hope the pictures captured how happy I really was. I know they captured how much I've grown since Christmas, too! Emily seems to be getting bigger by the hour! Derek even made the comment that I looked more pregnant when I came back to TX from the shower! Funny, but I think he was right! Not uncomfortable yet, just moving a little slower. We've got 11 weeks (more or less!) to go, so we've got some time left. Now that we have some gifts, we've started getting the nursery ready. Furniture should arrive next week, so we know that will make it all much more real!

February 7, 2008
Mornin' all! Up again at 5am. Why? Not like I'm sleepy, the eyes just pop open sometime around 4:30 and I have no desire to go back to sleep. Could be worse, this could be happening at 2am. I know that will be happening in 3 months (or less), but I'll actually have a reason to be up that early!
For those of you who hadn't heard already, we have a name! Her name will be Emily Paige LeJeune. Derek came up with Emily, and it wasn't until after we picked it that we found out that Emily was PawPaw Lafont's mother's name, so she will have a connection to her great-great grandmother. Paige comes from our niece Mallory Paige Abshire, who is our little angel in heaven who sent us Emily in the first place! We love the name and hope you like it too.
Feeling good still. Low back pain virtually gone the last couple days. Went to PT yesterday for some final tweaks on my mid back and now I only have to see her again if I need it.
Nothing much else going on. Work is busy, but not unbearable, so I am getting some walking in every day there. No foot swelling, just some ankle puffiness, but I've always had a slight cankle thing going, so there's no surprises there. As far as how Emily is doing, she is doing great. Had a dr. appointment Tuesday and all is well. She's turned a couple times in the last few days, so now I'm getting a couple of belly shots from her feet. Most days she kicks straight down, making me think I'll see a tiny foot shooting out of my nethers! (nice image, I know) That's one aspect of pregnancy I know I'll miss. It's like she's letting me know, "Hey! Still in here! Whatcha doing?? "
Even though I know she's in there, and I am definitely getting rounder, the idea of her being here still hasn't hit me. Our first baby shower is this weekend at my mom's, maybe that'll help. But the fact that she could be here in less than 3 months (or really at any time now) is not something I can even fathom right now. I guess the more baby gear we get in the house will help it settle in. Thanks for all the checking up on us! Hope the next 12 weeks will go as smoothly as the last 28!
