39 Weeks

Anthony and I have reached 39 weeks which means that we are officially full term! Anthony is fully developed and grown, about the size of a watermelon, but he'll continue to add weight until he's born. Matt and I both hoping that he comes soon; we're so anxious to meet our son! Yesterday we had another doctor appointment, which was the same as the week before. I'm not dilated yet, but it could happen soon so we're spending Easter here and my parents and brother and sisters are coming to Rhode Island for dinner.

Last week, I was on a crafting spree and made a bunch of decorations for Anthony's room. I'll post a picture of the three frames we made for him. We also made some sports wall hangings, but I need to finish the football which my Dad needs to cut out for me.

I ordered stickers from Etsy last week that we'll use once Anthony is born to take monthly pictures during his first month. They shipped today, which is awesome, although I'm still waiting for his personalized onesie and hat to ship. That's supposed to be his coming home outfit and we'll definitely be using it for his newborn pictures that we'll have taken shortly after his arrival. However, as a backup, I ordered a onesie from Old Navy that we can use if the personalized one hasn't come in yet.

38 Weeks

Anthony and I are 38 weeks today, only two away from his due date and one week away from being full term! He's now the size of a pumpkin and, boy, can I feel it! Unfortunately, though, I'm not dilated quite yet so we have to wait a little longer. (We had our weekly appointment yesterday where my doctor checked my cervix for dilation.) Hopefully, next week's appointment will bring better news (like early delivery!).

I've been on a craft kick this week. I made wall decorations yesterday for my aunt's twin girls (due in August), Catherine and Zoey. They came out so cute that I decided to make more today. Of course I did one for Anthony that we'll hang in the room for now, but will eventually go on the door when he gets his own room. I also made one for each of my sisters and one of our last name for our apartment door. Here's Anthony's:

We received a couple of shower gifts today, as well. We got two cards with checks, one from my parents' good friends (and my brother's god parents) Mark and Pam, and another from Matt's grandpa and his wife. We also got a Five Little Monkeys themed gift basket from my friend, Sam. It came with an adorable stuffed animal and blanket as well as a door hanger that says "Shh, baby is sleeping". I'll be writing out thank yous tomorrow!

24 Weeks

Anthony and I are 24 weeks along now; a full 6 months but we're still in our second trimester for another 3 weeks. Anthony is now the size of a cantaloupe and we're both doing really well, especially the little one who is moving all around and taking up a lot more room in my belly. The other day, I looked down at my belly and saw one side pushed out more than the other from Anthony. I poked my the spot a little and he moved, but I got a picture for Matt first.

Matt and I are going to take pictures of my belly this weekend, since we forgot to do it today. However, we did (finally) get the letters for Anthony's room finished and hung up today!

My parents are coming to visit in a few weeks for my birthday and they are bringing the crib and changing table then. I'm excited antsy to get his side of the room set up and ready for him! We're going to go to Ikea to get another set of drawers for Anthony as well as an orange rug for near his crib, too.

This past weekend, our friends Kevin and Sam welcomed their beautiful baby girl, Ryleigh, into the world. Her birthday is December 28 and she is absolutely perfect. We stopped by on Sunday to see the new parents and their daughter and got a couple pictures of us holding her:

We got Anthony's diaper bag as a Christmas gift from my Aunt Alicia and Uncle Frank! It's really nice and is currently holding two handmade blankets from Hannah's friends' grandmother. We also got some new clothes for him from my parents and my friend Jess, as well as another wonderful felt blanket from my Aunt Teri that Matt and I used all weekend at my parents' house.

I'll update this weekend with the pictures that we take on Saturday!
