Shower Time!

Today my friends Maggie and Lindsey hosted a wonderful baby shower for me. It was so wonderful to have everyone together and celebrate little baby Schnable. Thank you so much to everyone!! :)

Picture time :)

Our good friend Jason was kind enough to take some pictures for Ben and I for holiday cards today! We ventured out in Old Trail and got some good ones!

30 weeks!

I can't believe it's already 30 weeks! Time is flying by, and I'm sure the holidays will help to speed it up even more.
Nothing too exciting to post, work has been very busy, weekends are filled with events, and we are busy getting the nursery ready for the little one.
The nursery is coming along, we have a crib, bookshelf, and various bouncy seats, stuffed animals, etc... We ordered a wall decal for above the crib, and it looks great, but it was not nearly as simple as the instructions made it seem!
My mother threw Ben and I a wonderful shower a few weeks ago and it was so much fun! The little lady is stocking up on presents! She got an awesome pack n play (thanks Bruce and Jim!), some adorable outfits, and so much more :) I hope she feels the love!
The last doctor appointment had me progressing well, heartbeat is strong at 146bpm, little lady is most likely head down, and I passed my glucose test with flying colors! Go me!
Alright, It's picture time, here's what's been going on :)

30 weeks and growing....

The beginning of the wall decal

almost done!

Happy Halloween!

Today is halloween, Ben's favorite Holiday!
Here are our costumes this year :) I am a treasure troll and Ben is Dead Pool.

Little baby Schnable has many years of complex Halloween costumes to come!

The past few weeks have been super busy...and the calendar for November has no free weekends! Time is flying by. I had a doctor's appointment this past week and everything went well. I've put on 11 pounds, baby's heartbeat is strong, I'm feeling great still. Third trimester starts this week, bring it on!

Here's some pictures of our adventures these past few weeks :)

It's all coming together...

We've gotten a lot accomplished over the past few weeks.
Things we can check off our list:
      Paint the nursery
      Start looking into daycare/take tours
      put together the crib
      hang up baby clothes
      put together bookshelf
....so it's a start! It's really hard to believe that in just 3 months this little lady will be here!
Check out all our hard work:

Next up on our to-do list:
   order/hang up wall decorations
   pick out crib bedding
   pick a pediatrician
   and much more!

Baby! Baby! Baby!

This weekend our plan is to paint the room that will be the nursery! We have ordered a crib and a bookshelf, so it will be great to have everything painted and ready to go when the stuff arrives.
We've signed up for registries at Babies R Us and Target, so everything is getting ready for baby.... slowly but surely!
I am still feeling good, having a little back pain, but I've been swimming a lot so that has helped. My chiropractor friend, Sam, has given me some stretches to do to keep everything relaxed and so far it's working!
 Check out our registries, and experienced mamas, if there's something I left off, let me know!
