Weeks 29-33 - Ohh Time is FLYING by!

Ok! So, I'm trying to back track and figure out the weeks I missed. The last time I blogged Easter had ended and I had just finished my 28th week. I was gearing up for MY FIRST baby Shower on April 18 and for my 32 week sonogram!

Week 29
On April 10 - Marcos had his first DREAM about Natalie. =) He woke up so excited to tell me all about his first dream and how it seemed so real. This was fun, considering Marcos dreams alot because I can hear him talk in his dreams at night, sometimes in Portuguese and sometimes in English but when I ask him about it he never remembers what he dreamt about!

Week 30
I had visited my DR. for my 30 week appointment the Wednesday, April 14 before the shower and told her about the emotional rollercoaster I was on over the whole drama that came about. My DR. really put things in perspective for me (she didn't seem to think it was my hormones) but told me to focus on what I knew was true and that this would be my FIRST shower for my FIRST baby and everyone who was going to the shower was going for ME and how awesome was that! She was really amazing. Kinda took me back at first because she was so forward with questions like, "Who said it" "What did they say to you" "Why did you allow this person to have such power over you" "Was this person even noteworthy of their words" ect. It was kinda humorous. But, she did help alot! So, thanks Dr.!

Week 31

My FIRST shower. It was just fabulous! All the wonderful people who I care so deeply about showed up and it was such an overwhelming feeling know that all these people cared for Natalie and she hadn't even made it here yet. Sure, that was major drama leading up to the whole shower but it ended up being great. I got some really fun and unique gifts. I just love really thought out gifts, so sweet! And of course the practical and well needed things were - well- just what I needed and that's great!

Week 32
SONOGRAM! April 29, Again, FAVOR from the Lord. I prayed all morning... Lord, please send me an Angel in disguise! Show me favor this Dr. appointment and let me see this baby girl in 3D again! =) Praise God, I've got a friend in HIGH places.

We were the first appointment in the books. The nurse called my name and I knew, this is her again - My angel in disguise! I lay on the table and she starts measuring Natalie. We are talking and the whole time I'm praying, Ohh please do a 3d! And then she says, lets take a peak at this sweet little girl! My heart was elated. She switches the screen to 3D and I can't thank her enough. Marcos starts in on Natalie's nose and how it looks so big. LoL. Well, this gets the Nurse laughing so hard that she is determined to show Marcos that the baby's nose is not so big and it just the screen. So, we spend forever looking at her at different angles in 3D, during all the laughing and Marcos' smart comments Natalie starts laughing.

 She snapped a picture of it! Of course, I am her momma, but I swear this was the most beautiful sonogram photo I've ever seen! LoL - HAHA!

Week 33

We left for the beach on May 5- Mother's day weekend!

We spent our time at the Eden condominiums, the same place Marcos and I went to last year the same weekend but with friends. This time we went with Family. My parents, sister & Audrey and brother & Kendle and Caleb. We had lots of fun! This was the first time I got into a bathing suit, and yeah, I totally flaunted it! =) Ha.

 I didn't eat the fish just because I didn't want to take any chances do to the oil spill. Walking on the sand was challenging considering I'm carrying so much weight as it is and then my feets sinking far into the sand making it hard to pull back up. Ha. The weather was so great the first time day that I chilled out under an umbrella but somehow missed some spots with sunscreen (my left leg especially) and burned myself so bad! It ruined the second day for us. Marcos was really sweet about it. I knew he wanted to stay and play at the beach and pool but he put on a big act and said that he wanted to spend the trip with me and if I couldnt' get back in the sun that he'd take me shopping if I felt up to it. Well, as much as it hurt like heck to walk on my legs, I couldn't pass up the outlet mall. I also thought walking my be good for my swallon huge leg. So we shopped and shopped! =) By the next day I was better - and spent the day at the beach but just kept my leg covered up really good and Marcos saturated me with sunscreen not missing one spot this time. We got some really cute maternity beach pics taken around the hotel. The trip was just what we needed!
