Time to shower baby!

We are approaching 32 weeks (on Friday June 20th) and closing in on two months until Avery hopefully arrives. This past weekend we attended a weekend childbirth class series, and feel a bit more educated and prepared for her birth.

As we continue to get ready, we have been blessed to have friends and family plan four baby showers for baby Avery. There was one shower on May 18th and one on June 7th, the other two are scheduled for June. Below are some pictures from each of the showers.

3/4 of the way there!

Our last appointment was a few days over 28 weeks, and everything looks very normal. I am measuring right on track- one centimeter per week along. Baby girl's heartbeat was a strong 145 beats/minute and she has already moved into a head down position with her bottom up near my ribs. I am scheduled for my next follow-up at 32 weeks which will be the last monthly appointment. After that I'll be seen every other week until 36 weeks, and every week after that until her debut. We have started taking some baby-prep classes and are amazed to think how fast time is going by.

Our preparations continue and things are continuing to come along with Avery's bedroom. Below are the most recent pictures of her room and a curent "profile" picture.
