What a week! I am so thankful that cooler weather is on the horizon!My friends Katie and Tracey hosted a shower for me at Bonefish for all my work girlfriends last week. I had such a great time and enjoyed hanging out with the girls outside of work. I loved everything and have had so much fun putting things up in Coleton's nursery. Thanks to Juliet, Mary Holland, English, Liz, and especially Katie and Tracey for an awesome and fun shower!
I see pictures of myself sometimes and think who is THAT??
Coleton experienced his first Carolina game last weekend when the Gamecocks hosted Furman. Apparently, he LOVES "Sandstorm" as he moved like crazy when it was played in the stadium! It was so funny to feel and watch! As for me, I always love watching my Gamecocks in action, but I think for the rest of this pregnancy I will enjoy the games from the comfort of home :) Heat + steps + lots of bathroom trips and therefore more steps + bleachers for several hours = swollen feet and one tired preggers! But Clif and I had a great time at the game and are thankful we were able to attend at least 1 this season!
OB appointment this week went well. Coleton's heart beat sounded great again and my blood pressure and iron level are good. Clif worked hard last week on Coleton's dresser/changing table and it looks awesome! The nursery is coming along. Here we are at 33 weeks/5 days. Total weight gain so far is...
yeah right, did you really think I'd reveal that?? :)
Love to you all!
It has been a fast and incredible 2 years! I am so blessed with a wonderful hubby! He makes me coffee in the mornings, sends me sweet emails at work when I'm having a rough day, cooks dinner most nights during the week without ever complaining, deals with my out of control pregnancy hormones, tells me everyday that I'm pretty (even though I question it with my ever expanding tummy) and how much he loves me. He is slow to anger, patient, quick to forgive and quick to apologize, and thoughtful. He has this uncanny ability to make me laugh everyday, even if in my stubbornness I'm trying hard to be frustrated! He is daily evidence of God's faithfulness and love. "On my own, I'm only half of what I could be... we are stitched together and what love has tethered, I could never undo." Clif, I love you and I am excitedly looking forward to seeing you fulfill your new role as Daddy! Happy Anniversary babe!
Now if only we could celebrate our anniversary with our honeymoon! Oh to be on our way to a fruity cocktail at the swim-up bar on the beach of Cancun! Ahh...
Coleton is definitely a mover and I love feeling him kick and do somersaults! However, I'm really starting to feel the effects of this growing boy taking up more and more space in my ever expanding tummy! Bending over is super difficult, getting comfortable and sleeping through the night is impossible, and going up and down the stairs without some shortness of breath just doesn't happen. But it will all be worth it in the end! We've started the process of selecting a pediatrician, have begun watching our labor/delivery class DVD (thanks Katie!) and are just trying to rest now for the sleepless nights ahead. 
a few clothes, diapers for his sweet bottom, a 
and a few other essentials. It's a work in progress of course, as we still need his bedding, dresser/ changing table, glider, ottoman, and, well you get the gist! As promised, I'm working on posting ultrasound pictures. Stay tuned!
