28 more days to go?!? Where did time go??

Hi Everyone! So as you know, I have taken a little hiatus from working on my baby blog (sorry Baby Nagy!) and have been focusing on my brother Bill's blog. I clicked on the link this morning and saw that on my count down, I have 28 more days to go! I haven't looked at the count down in almost 2+ months, so it was quite a shock to see how far it has moved!!

I am officially starting my 36th week today and I am SO excited and ready to meet our little princess! Yesterday, we worked on the nursery and almost have it finished. It is absolutely adorable and I can't wait to have a little baby to put in the crib. We still have some pictures to hang up and move (note the ones above the crib!) and I want to hang up her name in blocks once we pick a name! They baby still does not have a name!! It is so hard to choose one before we meet her - so will try to narrow it down to 2-3 names these next few weeks so that we can have something to start with at least! Regardless of her name, Ryan is already making sure she is a Chicago Bear's fan :)



I am attaching a picture of me too - from last weekend when we celebrated Ryan's birthday . As you can see, my tummy is HUGE these days!! Since I am so short, there really isn't very much room for her to grow - so she is quite snug and cozy in my tummy! Let's just say, I am eager to meet the little girl and get back to my normal physique! I am finding it hard to move around a lot these days (although I still manage fine!) - it is just a little more awkward to do things (ie. feeding dogs, bending to pick something up, getting comfortable on the couch..). Thankfully, I have been able to sleep though at night. I get up often to go to the bathroom (hourly at this point!), but I am so fortunate that I can fall back to sleep.


At 36 weeks, the baby supposedly weighs around 6 lbs and is 18.5 inches (see picture of Melon below - that is how big she is - no WONDER my tummy is huge!). She is going to be gaining more weight over the next few weeks. I have a doctor's appt. tomorrow (the first of my weekly appointments) so will ask the doctor how big she things our baby Nagy is.



Our dog's are also getting ready (suspicious) for this new little baby. They are smelling all of the new clothes, wondering who the lovely nursery is for, wondering why their mommy can't get down on the floor for snuggle sessions as often any more and why mommy can only take them for very short walks! Ryan and I are trying to prepare them both for the baby, but I think we will have to wait until she arrives to see if they are going to be okay with the new addition to our family - we are praying that they will be so that we don't have to return our adopted dog's to our parents!! (If you remember we dog-napped Reggie from my parents and Sam from Ryan's parents).


Since I last wrote, I had 2 absolutely beautiful baby showers as well! I received so many wonderful and useful gifts that I can't wait to use. Mrs. Nagy, Elizabeth Nagy and Chris Nagy hosted a shower for me in Northern Indiana and Mrs. Kirlin, Susie and Mrs. Esterline hosted a shower for me in Indianapolis. It was so wonderful to see all of our family and friends at the showers! I have a couple of pictures that I will post up as well in a separate blog.

Well that is my update for now - there is so much more for me to share and I will start to update this blog much more regularly! I can't wait till the day she arrives and I can start sharing pictures of her with you all! :)


Love,
Katherine
