32 Weeks: Let the Countdown Begin!

Can you believe it? We are 8 weeks or less away from meeting our sweet baby boy! We are SOOO excited and time is passing so fast. As time ticks away, we are busy preparing for him by finishing the nursery & making sure Little David has everything he needs. :)

So what's new?

Symptoms: Just plain TIRED! Most of that due to starting back to school though!
Cravings: Milkshakes...YUM!
Aversions: none...I'll eat anything when I'm hungry!
Sleep: David says I build my "pillow castle" before I go to sleep. I wake up a lot and getting up early isn't that bad. I believe this is God's way of prepping me for Mommy-hood!

32 weeks - 8 months!

Little David is growing perfectly. He is head down so no wonder the movement is strongest in the ribs! Sometimes, he shifts to where my whole belly will move from one side to the other. I love to feel him move around. It's the best feeling because it reminds you there is a little person in there! He also gets the hiccups ALL the time! That's a sweet feeling too! David and I enjoy listening to him move around through David's stethescope. We just can't wait to meet him! Pretty soon we'll be going to the doctor every week. My sweet husband hasn't missed one yet either. He's going to be such a great dad!

We had our Charleston family shower on August 11th! It was here at our house which was great b/c we didn't have to carry stuff home in the car! We got Little David's crib, along with many other great things, so his room is well underway! We are very thankful for our family & friends who came. It was a great turnout and we felt very loved! The details, decorations, and help from the family is truly a blessing to us!

Cake made by Grandma!

Big toy for baby David!

Bottles galore!

Excited about these bottles! Drop in liners...yay!

It's his crib!

Excited Mommy & Daddy to be!

We have a shower this weekend by our Journey friends so we are super excited to see what else he gets! We got one present from our Journey shower early. Ms. Cindy Belcher made us a Gamecock diaper cake! I mean....what else would you give a Mosteller baby?!?

Gamecock Baby already!

After this weekend's shower, we are going to finish the nursery!! It's been a work in progress for a while so expect a whole post on it....from start to finish! :) Until then...let's hope Little David continues to bake for a while longer. I'm sure he will but you never know! Prayers for a healthy boy & uncomplicated delivery are greatly appreciated!

Love y'all & God Bless!

30 Weeks: Nursery, Showers, & Growing...OH MY!

So 4 weeks later, I have finally had time to update our blog! Last time, I was saying summer needed to slow down but it didn't listen! That's ok...we are only 10 weeks (or less) from meeting our handsome baby boy! So much has been happening. He's growing perfectly, we finished painting the nursery, & we have 3 showers in August!

So what's new?

Symptoms: a little swelling and holy backache! Thank the Lord for my chiropractor!
Cravings: My sweet tooth is back & Dr. Pepper as usual
Aversions: none
Sleep: Geeze...let's not talk about it! Ugh! It's worth it though. :)

30 weeks :)

I'm going to the doctor every 2 weeks now. We saw one of the other doctors in the practice the other day and she said his head is down so that's great news! He's moving me around now...so much so that you can see him from the outside. It's the coolest feeling ever!I think he's going to be a tall little man because I feel him way up high and way down low so we're guessing over 20". Hmm..I wonder who he'll take after? So now we are counting down and before we know it, David Jr will be here. What are we most excited about? Tough to say, but David and I can't wait to just see what he looks like!

Last weekend, August 4th, we had our first baby shower in Belton from David's family. We are very blessed to have a wonderful family & we felt nothing but loved! We got David Jr's potential going home outfit! But...we are going to have a backup in case he is too little for it. We'll wait to reveal when he actually gets to wear it! Leslie made the cutest diaper cake filled with goodies appropriate for a Mosteller. David Jr. will be matching us in our Carolina gear this football season! So what comes with a shower? Thank you notes! I'm happy to say that I am up to date and ready for our next shower this weekend!

"Booty" cake! Yummy!

Butt paste...haha!

Sweet blanket from Aunt Joyce!

Diaper Cake for a Carolina Baby!

This week we got David Jr's nursery completed! Well, the painting anyway. We are waiting on the pieces to fill it and decorate it! I will post pictures as soon as it's completely done. All I can say is it's ADORABLE! David had worked so hard and I'm so thankful for his attention to detail. It has been fun to do it together & we can't wait to see little man in it!

School starts for me next week! I can actually say that I feel good about my classroom and when it's time, I'll be ready to get going. I'm not sure how my back and feet feel about this though. We'll see! All I can say is my chair will be my friend while at work then the couch and bed at night! I'm planning on working until David Jr arrives then I'll be out until the beginning of January. We are so excited for me to be out for that length of time and thankful that God is providing for us!

Well, we have another shower this weekend which we are super excited about! I will do better and not wait another 4 weeks to update. Hang on tight because the next 10 weeks is going to fly by! :)

Love to everyone & God Bless!
