The Last Trimester of Pregnancy

Sorry I haven't updated since week 22 of pregnancy! We are now at 36.5 weeks! We are so excited to be welcoming a sweet baby girl in a just a few short weeks! We have been busy finishing the nursery and getting the essentials for our little girl to be spoiled at home. These last few weeks have been so-so for me...uncomfortable, hard to find a comfortable position to sleep in, increased fatigue, her feet in my ribs, etc. We are now going to the doctor weekly and can't believe she will be full-term on Wednesday! Last doctor's visit went great but no signs of labor! We go back on Monday for our last ultrasound to determine her approximate weight and length and determine if any progress toward labor is being made :) We are so excited! Here are a few pictures from the last few weeks that I've missed!

Football, Baby Showers, and Weddings

Since the last post, we have gone into full football gear. The weekend is usually filled with tailgating and football games every Saturday. Throw in a baby shower and a wedding too and that makes for a busy life! I am so thankful that I was able to attend the baby shower of a very dear friend, especially since I don't see her often due to her living in Virginia. The baby shower couldn't have been more perfect and now we anxiously await the arrival of baby Robinette....my guess is baby BOY! We also were fortunate to attend the wedding of our dear friends Laura and Kyle. The wedding was in the mountains of the upsate and absolutely beautiful! The weather couldn't have been more perfect and the venue/decor of the wedding was stunning. Congrats Laura and Kyle! Welcome to the married club!!
