Squash in Me!

So the baby is the size of a squash this week about 3 lbs. I am currently at 31 weeks. We went to the dr. today and all is looking good. I really enjoy listening to the baby's heartbeat. My weight gain has made moving around more of a challenge. I got the "wobble"......I can feel me doing it but it's not all the time.

People around work are guessing what sex the baby is going to be and seems as most think I'm carrying a little girl. A little boy will be a bit of a surprise if I say so myself! :D

Back to Texas!

After being in Oklahoma I drove to Amarillo and I went straight to see Matt and Millie. I had missed them.......then that night my mom and I went to a birthday party out by Boys Ranch. It was soooo beautiful out there.....I have started to appreciate how pretty it is up in the Panhandle.

My best friend, Krissy and her family, hosted a baby shower for me on Saturday. It was so great to see everyone (old friends and family)! I loved it! I had a great time! My sister and nephews were also in town. I will post the shower pics later in my photo blog (link is on the right of this blog page under "photo blog").

I've heard that forgetfullness is common in pregnancy. GOSH did I experience some major forgetfullness this weekend......so one hour into our drive back to Fort Worth, I remembered that I forgot my laptop! GRRR.....we had to drive back. I also forgot my pillow, phone charger, curling iron and laptop! I couldn't believe I forgot all those things.

Today Baby Stokes turned 30 weeks! 10 more weeks to go......seems neverending! Baby is now the size of a head of cabbage! YIKES!

Oklahoma is OK

I've been in Oklahoma City for the past 2 days for some hazardous materials training. I will be leaving here on Friday and will be driving to Amarillo. HOPEFULLY, the training will be over early on Friday (it's supposed to be my Friday off). Saturday I'm having a baby shower hosted by one of my best bud's, Krissy. I look forward to seeing some old friends and getting together with them! Matt and Millie are supposed to be driving up on Thursday.....I miss them....don't like being away but I really had to come update my training. I haven't done much here.....went to the mall yesterday and that's about it.

I am 29 weeks along about to hit the 30 mark! WOW! 10 more weeks to go. I'm having troubles sleeping, but I'm blaming that to being in a hotel. Baby is the size of a butternut squash and about 2 1/2 lbs.

Let's GO!

Per someone's request to post the video of Millie....here it is:

Millie loves going on car rides.....if I say "let's go!" she knows what that means....in fact Matt and I make it a point to not say "let's go" to each other if Millie isn't going because she gets sooo excited and I don't like tricking her. She just cracks me up when she sticks her head out the window.......and just looks around so much that it almost seems as if she's overwhelmed. She loves going though.

Grandpa Nino

My dad (Bernardino aka Nino) was visiting us for the past week. We had a really nice time but it all ended last night when he left. I feel guilty because I didn't take him to very many places because I've been working. I took some afternoons off to spend time with him. He did a lot of cooking for us and he did some gardening.

As for Baby Stokes, I just entered the 3rd trimester! UNKNOWINGLY TOO! I haven't been following up on the weekly updates.......baby's kicks have become stronger and unfortunately I won't be getting any more sonograms.
