35 Weeks today...
I will say that this past week has been the most uncomfortable one so far... yikes. I'm hoping it was just a fluke or because I didn't drink enough water or something but I have a feeling it's just par for the course these days. I think it has to do with the baby being breach... The baby continues to grow like he or she is supposed to each week but rather than expanding down into my hips and dropping... the expansion is up into my diaphram/rib cage/lungs which means I have a very hard time breathing all the time.
On a fun side note, we get to tour the hospital on Sunday night. One step closer :) Yay!
But I'll be alright... I'm hanging in there and I know things could be much worse and I consider myself very blessed :)
Talk to you next week after my 36 week appointment... oh my gosh I'm considered full term next week... CRAZY! Very excited to meet our little one within the next month :) yay!

34 Weeks!
Baby and I are getting bigger and bigger by the day :) I'm still feeling pretty good...just uncomfortable and hot in this humidity...geeze. Sleeping has also started to get more difficult... the other night I was up literally every hour... so annoying... but last night for the first time in quite a while I only got up once to use the bathroom and slept the rest... yay! So maybe this is the start of a trend!... Oh I hope I hope I hope :)
We had our 34 week Dr. appointment yesterday. Everything is progressing well... but Baby Ackerman is still breach (so it's either stubborn like me or lazy like Dave haha j/k)... so at my next appointment in two weeks we'll decide what we're going to do... there are a couple options to consider... But whatever it is we know that we'll be okay and it's meant to be so we're not nervous. We know we're in good hands with our Lord :)
Here's the belly pic:
I told you we were getting bigger! lol

32 weeks...well almost 33
Again... I'm behind...
Okay so last Thursday I hit the 32 week mark. As of tomorrow (7/7) I'll only have 50 days left until my due date. Crazy!! Wow this pregnancy has flown by... anyway...
Last week I had my 32 week Dr. appointment and everything seems to be in order...EXCEPT... the little Ackerman is still being stubborn on position... (uh oh... gonna be like mommy). So we'll keep you posted on that. But everything else seems to be coming along nicely.
For the most part I feel pretty good at this point. Everything that I'm experiencing is normal. The heat is definitely playing a factor these days... I swell and sweat just walking from my car to the house... so I'm pretty much staying indoors these days. I"m also starting to feel pretty uncomfortable most of the time which I'm assuming is only going to get worse.
We started prepping stuff for the baby's arrival over the last few weeks. Dave put the travel system together... and it's awesome! It's like a Cadillac of strollers :) Very excited! Thank you Nana, Aunt Laurie and Aunt Gerry!! We will continue to gradually put more stuff together as the big day approaches but for now we're enjoying the space while we can before everything is taken over by baby clutter lol. But we also have to think about the dogs and getting them used to all the sounds and what not... so we're thinking the end of July seems to be a good time to start doing all that stuff.
I washed all of the baby's stuff... wow... folding baby clothes is never ending! You can fit so much more into the washer...but then realize later that you'll be folding for a while since everything is so tiny! lol... but it was fun and cute... I'm assuming that will change the more loads that I do LOL.
Next week I have my next Dr. appointment for 34 weeks... so that will be when we post next... including a belly picture...it's definitely getting bigger...

Shower #2
Wow I'm very behind on my postings... so sorry!
On June 26th we had our second shower... and it was perfect :) It was a cute sunshine theme so it was all yellows and greys and whites. There was about 20-25 people there so it was very intimate which I liked. My Aunt Laurie flew in from Dallas and it was so nice to see her! We were so blessed by everyone there with our gifts and books. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much to my Nana (who was unable to come due to health reasons) and my Aunt Laurie for planning and funding the event. And thank you to Sheryl and Veronica for putting all the details together :) You're all such a blessing.
Dave and I are so humbled and thankful for all of our wonderful friends and family who have blessed us so much. As I said before, it's so wonderful to know how loved our little one is before he or she is even here. :)
So yeah... we now officially have everything we need (we hope) and the nursery is all set up :) We're very excited about getting to use everything!! :)
(I'll have to post pictures later since they're not on this computer)
