This past weekend Kelly & I headed to Greenville, SC for another baby shower for Miss Kaitlynn :) One of my mom's best friends, Sally Burdette, and one of my close girlfriends, Blythe R. hosted the shower for both Bridgette & I. I was completely blown away by the turn out and how generous all of my close friends & family were towards baby Kaitlynn & Elizabeth. Kelly & I feel completely blessed to have so many wonderful people a part of our lives! We definitely couldn't do this alone - marriage or becoming parents! Here are some pictures from the shower this past weekend!!

Today also marks week 29 for Kelly & I. We are moving right along & quite ready to meet our precious baby girl. I cannot believe we only have 11 weeks left! It feels like yesterday when I woke Kelly up at 5:00am to tell him the exciting news of being pregnant :) Yes - if most of you remember, I couldn't wait. That shouldn't surprise many of you!
We had our 'bimonthly' check-up this morning. We have finally switched from once a month to twice a month which is an exciting milestone mark! Two weeks ago I had to take my glucose test which really wasn't bad at all. The verdict is: I PASSED!! I do not have to take the 3-hour test thank goodness!! Baby Kaitlynn checked out great. Here are some updated stats for everyone!
My blood pressure: 102/60 = normal
Kaitlynn's heartbeat per minute: 156
Kaitlynn's measurements (uterus): 28cm = 11in.
My total weight gain at 29 weeks: 15 lbs total!!
My doctor said I was the "ideal" patient - very healthy, which made me extremely happy!! All the hard work with eating healthy & continuing my workout routine is really paying off in these last weeks!
Our next appointment is Thursday, July 2nd at 9:00am.

Glad to hear the doctor's appointment went so well! I've got one in a little over an hour. Should be fun :)
