Off topic: AZ summer footage

Chris put this footage together from our road trip this summer to Tucson. We really did spend the whole time at their pool!

Thank you

Between the shower Ryn threw me and a shower at Chris' school in addition to several gifts received in the mail, Chris and I had to say thank you.  Everyone's generosity and support have been overwhelming; our gratitude cannot be expressed.  Thank you!  

32 week Doctor's appt.

So, we had our 32 week appointment this past Monday. No - still no gender! But, I am measuring right at 32 weeks. I have gained 8 pounds since my last visit! Ouch! That must be why the squats and lunges hurt so much! I'm now at 161 lbs (2lbs per week since I was last weighed). But the doc said it was all baby - so I think that's a good thing. She also said that the baby was head down (although I think its been that way the whole time)...which is good for this last part of pregnancy. I will now see her every two weeks - we have an appointment on Dec. 2 (about 36 weeks), and then will have another at 38weeks and then every week till I deliver. We have about 7 weeks to go! I think we'll put the crib together over thanks-giving break.

Baby Shower (33/40 weeks)

Our shower was a success! Ryn Wilson threw it for me at her house and we had a great showing. I feel really good about it...despite my worries of being the center of attention. I got tons of diapers (yea - I was worried!) and lots of other amazing gifts. I have amazing friends in my life. Thank you to EVERYONE. I have posted a slideshow of the shower below (if you double click it will appear larger).

32 Weeks

I am 32 weeks pregnant this Friday (11/7). According to babycenter.com, baby Eastman weighs in just under 4lbs and is just under 17inches long. Baby has toenails, fingernails, and real hair now!

I am feeling pretty good. People tell me that I now "look pregnant!" I have gained over 20lbs (yikes!), and am a little worried that I am going to put on too much by the end of the pregnancy. I am supposed to gain somewhere between 25-35lbs. I have started to make arrangements for my leave, looking into who might sub for me, as has Chris. We're both hoping that Jillian delivers during christmas vacation - cross your fingers.
