30 & 31 weeks...and Baby Shower #1

31 weeks - Memorial Day

30 weeks

Weight gain to date: 14 pounds... Yes, I realize that is headed the wrong direction. Apparently my body was holding on to a LOT of unnecessary carbs. The new diet has gotten rid of those. The doctor says it's fine and I will start gaining weight again once my body adjusts. Baby Keebs is growing right on track though!

I am now most comfortable sleeping: on my side, but I'll take it any way I can get it. I still have energy during the day which is nice (I think the new diet has helped here!), but getting comfortable enough to sleep great is generally out of the question. My rolling over ability should probably be part of a 3-ring circus!

I am now getting up to pee about 2 times a night. Occasionally there is a night where I'll get up more or less, but a typical night includes two times of getting out of bed and heading down the hall.

Other: This week Mom and Meg (and Dad, Cary, and Steph) threw us an amazing baby shower. This day has been a big milestone for me for a while because I had started thinking I was never going to make it that far. I am so glad that we have and my family did everything they could to make it as special as possible. We appreciated it SOOOOO much!

Here are some pictures to show off all their hard work and our fun time.

The beautiful women who made it all possible...and me and Baby Keebs.

This was the awesome cake Meg had made for us. It's the sun setting on the beach to go along with our Jimmy Buffet nursery. Beautiful and tasty! You can also see the Hawaiian diaper cake that her and Steph made...those flowers are hair clips for Baby Keebs!

White chocolate suckers that Mom, Dad, and Meg worked on for a week. Getting the sugar sparkles in the mold required a spotlight and magnifying glass!

White and milk chocolate shells they also made throughout the week.

Opening presents. This tiny colorful dress just may be Baby Keebs' picture outfit.

This is the amazing cradle my dad made us! You'll have to come see it in person to truly appreciate the craftsmanship...it's amazing.
