The past month or so has dragged this pregnancy. But now that I've hit 35 weeks it feels like the baby will be here any day. I decorated the nursery, bought all of the baby items I think I would need, constantly cleaned the house every day, washed baby clothes, started to pack bags. We are well on our way to being ready. Although I think we are more than ready because all the baby really needs is my boobs, a blanket, and some diapers. Right?

One thing I don't want to forget to talk about is my surprise baby sprinkle! I did not intend to have a shower this time around. I mean I just had a baby girl, so all I would really need is some diapers. Well my amazing friends thought otherwise and threw a sprinkle for me at my favorite restaurant. It was seriously so nice to hang out with some of my favorite people, eat good food and receive gifts for baby girl. She won't have to wear all hand me downs. haha I cannot thank my friends enough. I've never had a surprise party and this definitely made me feel special. 

How far along: 35 weeks! Now it's starting to feel real! Only 5 weeks or less until I get to hold my baby!

Looking forward to: Having this baby!

Preparing all the things for baby girl's hospital bag.

Heather had her shower a week after mine. Here we are enjoying our 34 week bumps.

On Thursday I had my 32 week growth scan with baby girl #2. Robby wasn't able to make it because of work, but my dad came to help with Isla. After waiting in the waiting room for what felt like forever we finally went back. Isla knew exactly where we were and what we were doing. She was so cute with all of her little remarks.

As soon as the sonographer put the probe on the lower right side of my belly you could see baby girl's head. I automatically say "Yay! She's head down." It's been a fear of mine that she won't get to that head down position and I'll end  up getting a C-section. My odds are looking better now that I know she's head down (fingers crossed she stays that way).

The sonographer said it looks like she has a big head and I started to say that's good, but then thought about the fact that I have to push that big head out. haha She measured the belly which she mentioned was small but not abnormally so (18%). She got the cute profile shot below, and then went into 3d mode which I was not expecting. Baby girl's face popped up on the screen upside down (because she is head down) and I gasped. It was so clear and she was so cute. I've never been a fan of the 3d ultrasounds before. I've seen a few cute pictures but generally speaking I preferred 2d. But the fact that I saw my sweet little girl's features was amazing. She has the cutest button nose and was pushing out her lips like she was blowing us a kiss. It was seriously awesome.

After all was said and done, they estimate that she is 4 pounds 2 ounces and right at 50th percentile for size. She's perfect, doing great and right on track. No matter how well each pregnancy or appointment goes there is always that fear that something will be wrong. Thanking God that everything has been smooth sailing so far.

Isla's third Halloween was a huge success. Last year Isla was sick, so we never took her out. This year she actually refused to nap, so we thought it would be a bust too. But amazingly she did so well and loved going trick or treating. It was definitely the best Halloween yet.

Isla B. was the cutest bumble bee ever.
