Lots of Catching Up To Do...

I've been really bad about keeping up with this blog, so I will attempt to summarize the happenings of the last month or so...

1. I had a baby shower in GA hosted by my very best friends, and I had such a wonderful time seeing friends and family (some of whom I hadn't seen since my wedding.) I only wish we had more time to spend together. Here are a couple of pictures:

2. Kelly and I went to Florida for Thanksgiving to spend time with my family. We had a chance to watch my little brother play football in the state playoffs, and watch my dad coach. Thankfully they won in double overtime and they're still on the quest for a state championship. We ate Thanksgiving lunch at my uncle's house and my grandparents and cousins joined us there. On Saturday, my mom and grandmother threw me a baby shower. My grandma is so creative and she hand-made all of the place settings and decorations. It was so cute. Plus, the food was yummy :). Kelly got to go to the FSU vs. UF football game b/c my little brother has committed to play ball at Florida and he got free tix. Dad, Kelly, and Justin spent a day together in Gainesville and Kelly was forced to wear Orange and Blue (he told himself that it was Clemson colors)...but it was a bad day for Clemson too :).

Cutest Baby Boots Ever

Who's having a baby?

Thanksgiving!

3. After we left FL we made a stop in Georgia to visit Mom and Dave and to celebrate Mom's birthday with a little shopping and fondue dinner. Mom and I headed out on the town to find some good deals while Kelly and Dave went to the grocery and prepared an amazing dinner of Steak,Sausage,Shrimp, Bread, and Veggies...to be cooked in our broth and cheese...and of course fruit and chocolate fondue for dessert. yummy!

4. December has been quite busy so far as Kelly had to prepare to defend his proposal..which he did today...and passed! And I have been preparing to take our team down to Florida for Christmas Training. I was a little concerned about traveling so close to my due date, but the doctor seemed to think I would be fine. I had my 34 week appointment today and left feeling a little anxious. Thankfully my weight gain, blood pressure, and overall general health has been wonderful. Riley is moving around all the time and has made her way into the "head-down" position...hopefully she'll stay there. She currently weighs about 4 lbs 12 oz. I had an ultrasound to measure her b/c my belly has continued to measure a few centimeters smaller than normal for this many weeks gestation. She is right on track in all areas except her abdominal measurement. Her abdomen is measuring about 3 weeks behind the rest of her body. The doctor isn't sure why, but she scheduled me for a follow-up ultrasound in 3 weeks with the hope that her belly will catch up to the rest of her body. She didn't seem overly concerned, but she did mention that if she doesn't make progress that there is a chance that they will induce labor sooner than my due date. I'm praying that Riley's belly decides to grow between now and then. Thankfully, with all the help and support of our friends and family, I do feel like Kelly and I are prepared for our little one whenever she decides to make her appearance.

Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!
