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!

Working out finally!

I bought this DVD a while ago and did it twice early on in my second trimester, and then let it start collecting dust! It was pretty easy then but now with my growing belly, it has become pretty challenging! I finally started exercising! I went for a walk on Monday, and did the pregnancy pilates yesterday. I want to be in shape for when it is time to deliver. I get winded pretty easily now - I don't think this is a good sign considering I will have to push something out of me in less than 4 months!

And oh yeah my sister's wedding 6 weeks after I am due is starting to become scary!! For those of you who don't know: we are twins. We have always pretty much been the same size so it would be nice to stay that way!!! Luckily I haven't put on much pregnancy weight at all, and it has been ALL belly. But I have a feeling the third trimester will bring on the pounds!!!

Crib Recall!

I am having trouble postine the link, but just search:

"Largest Crib Recall in History"

It looks like it involves cribs with drop down SIDES.

Crib Info

Hi All!
Some of you really liked the crib we got. It is from Target. It is a convert able crib and has a matching changing table and dresser.

They are ALOT cheaper than the kind at Babies r us. For all three it was $620.00 and since we opened up a target card that day, we got 10% off all of it! (What a steal!!!)

It is called the Delta Eclipse Crib in Black Cherry (although I really think it should be called more of an espresso). I had to call around and make sure they had it at a target store but it was WELL WORTH IT!!

Here is our crib! Notice the pink wall behind it! More pictures to come later.
