3D Ultrasound!! - Week 27 / Baby Shower

Hi all,

Wow I have been so busy this week I haven't had a chance to blog at all. So much has happened!

I had my Glucose Screening test last week - no big deal, but I did feel kind of gross after all of that sugar! (Which is wierd because I normally have a sweet tooth - but that stuff would make a 5 year old feel nauseous too!)

Also this weekend I had my California/Family Baby Shower!!! It was great! We got a TON of clothes and blankets, so much so that I am a little freaked out at all of the supplies we still need! But we have plenty of time to get those. The clothes are SO cute, I promise I will take photos and post them soon. Also my Great Aunt Glenna made her a quilt! She made one for us for my Bridal shower 4 years ago - it is so special. We also got a TON of diapers and baby wipes (I stole this idea from my friend Lindsey's Baby Shower: Have people bring in diapers or wipes and they get entered into a door prize raffle.) We are set on those for a LONG time!

I am still going to have a small shower at my house in Arizona so all of my AZ/teacher Friends can come. I think I will do that in January.

Week 27 updates:

I am feeling pretty good now that I have finally started taking Zantac for heartburn (Why did I wait so long???) Also my back is really starting to hurt! I think I might need to buy a back brace. Anyone know of a good but affordable one?? Other than that I can't complain, she is still moving really well. And measuring perfectly!

ultrasound!: Here is our beautiful baby girl. Yes we confirmed it - she is definitely a girl! I still had part of my brain nagging me that it might be a boy.

So now that it is confirmed here is her name:

ALLURA KATHERINE BARBER

My mother in law's name is Aurora, and my mom's name is Kathleen so we are doing a play on

both of their names.

This last one of her is her sucking her thumb, the arrow is pointing to her tongue!
