6 Weeks and counting....

Well, we just got back from our 34 week check-up with the doctor and all looks good!  Eloise was stretching out and getting comfy from what the doctor could feel and had a strong heartbeat around 150 -  I think it is all this african dancing we have been doing at school this week!  I guess she likes to dance like me, lets hope she has better rhythm than me! :)  Anywho, at our last appointment I actually LOST a pound, woot woot, and at this appointment I only gained one, so over the last month I have gained nothing!  I know its not a bad thing to gain weight, but after the 7 pound jump a couple months ago, this was a welcome change :)  Eric did say that my belly had gotten bigger from Thursday to Sunday while he was in Munich though! 

Since my last update, we have had LOTS going on!  I went home for spring break and my girls from home and my mom threw me a baby shower which was awesome!  We had a big crowd show up and had lots of fun!  Any shower that has flip-flops as the party favor is a great shower (especially if you know me and my flip flop obsession)!  Eloise even got two pairs of flips for the summer!!  It was a great ending to a very relaxing week that I had at home with Izzy, my mom, and my dad.  We even got to hang out with AJ for the first weekend I was there! :) 

Once I got back to Chattanooga after my shower, we only had a few days before my mom came down here and Coon, Sarah  and Wrigley came down from Nashville for ANOTHER baby shower on the 17th!  My friends Trinace and Erica from Chattanooga and Sarah threw me a shower for all of my Chattanooga peeps!  It was another GREAT shower that was so much fun!  The two weekends with friends and family were awesome, and reminded me how truely lucky I am in my life to be surrounded by such fabulous people! 

The same day as my Chattanooga shower, Eric was supposed to head out to Munich, Germany for a week and half, BUT thanks to the big cloud of ash from the Iceland volcano, his flight was postponed until Thursday!  So, he headed out early Thursday morning and arrived safely last night!  Izzy and I were glad to have him back, eventhough we stayed busy while he was gone.  WE headed up to Nashville to visit Sarah and Coon for the weekend and even got to see Pritz on Sunday for lunch who was in Nashville for the Country Music Half-Marathon.

This week is another busy one since we had a doctors appointment today, Thursday is my african dance performace, and on Friday, Coon, Sarah, and Wrigs are coming down for a bike race that Coon is doing on Saturday morning!  Should be a great week and we are starting our countdown to Eloise!  Stay tuned for pictures of her FINISHED nursery and other happenings arounf our house!!  Ta-ta for now!!!  :)  I hope everyone has a great week! 

34 weeks!
