1st Baby Shower!

My friends from work, Kelly and Alison had a baby shower/luncheon for me today, it was so much fun. And Carson got a lot of needed items! Thanks ladies, I had a great time!


You can't really see it that well, but Kelly painted the letters in Carson's name to go in the nursery, I can't wait to hang them!


My friend, Georgia had pacifiers made especially for Carson, they have his name on them!

Kelly and Ali, the hostesses:

The cake, SO cute and delish!

Test Result

I passed my Glucose Test! Thank Goodness!

26 wks/3 days, Dr. Apt.

I had my Glucose Test today and should know the results in a couple of days. Fingers Crossed! That drink was pretty nasty...glad it was only 10 oz. I hope I don't have to do that again.

Everything else was good, blood pressure was normal, weight gain (only 1 pound) and heartbeat in the 140's. I go back in 2 weeks and at that visit I will get the Rhogam shot for the 1st time.

I will be finished with the 2nd trimester on Saturday! I am so ready for August to be here. I have done almost everything that I can do for the nursery. I have my first baby shower on Friday and can't wait to see what Carson gets!

Nursery Sneak Peak

We are almost finished with the nursery! Here are a few pictures. We just need a dresser, decorations, and a few baby essentials and we should be good to go!

Little Project and Belly Watch

Over the weekend I had some time to do a little project. I had some plain onesies and some plain bibs. I found some really cute "iron on" patches. I did about 5 onesies and 3 bibs...here are a few.

This is my belly at 24 weeks and 3 days (I will be 26 w on Sat.). I can't believe I still have SO much growing to do. I am already experiencing a lot of discomfort in my ribs while sitting (my commute to/from work is lovely), turning over from side to side while sleeping is a task, and getting up from the bed or my work chair is also uncomfortable...I can really feel the extra weight pressing down.

24 wk Check up, New Dr.

Cory and I went to the new Practice today for my 24 wk check up. I really like them, they are very friendly (unlike the other practice) and it is so much more convenient for us. Their practice includes 3 Doctors and 3 midwives, I will be rotating through all of them and then I can decide who I prefer to deliver Carson (obviously will depend on whose on call as well). From here on out I will see them every 2 weeks. I can't believe it! The stats look really good, no issues at all :). And.....I was very proud, I have only gained 2 pounds this past month! Carson's heartrate was 145. I have my glucose screening in 2 weeks, so I am dreading that.

In nursery news...we are working steadily on the room, we decided to put chair molding on the wall and have blue and tan paint. I think its gonna look really good. We ordered a bed and changing table last week, I can't wait to get it in. Our glider came in this weekend and I love it already, it is so comfy (thanks mom). I will post pics of our progess soon, and a belly pic.

My close girlfriends came over Friday night for a cook out, and they surprised me with gifts. We had a great time catching up!
Here are some pics from the weekend:

Becca, me and Cyn in this one. Becca is my sister in law and she just found out she is expecting a "Little Phillips" in November! Carson will have a cousin close by to play with, and I have now have pregnant friend to complain to!!!!!!

All of my girlfriends Ashley, Becca, Crystal and Cyndee.

Me and Cyn, and THE GIFT (you know what that means if you are a Sex and the City fan):

Finally Cory and I took a picture together..I think the last one was around Christmas!

Me and Crystal:

For Cory....

Since Cory is away from home (working at the Masters'), I thought he might like this:
My sister was kind enough to pass down my nephew Andrew's baby clothes and as I was going through them tonight, I noticed a few that might excite Cory...so here you go babe...I love you!

And thanks again Caroline!

This first one has doggies in their little dog houses:
