And her name is.......

Kinley Reese Donaldson

36 Weeks



At this point, I start going to the doctor every week. This week is the first time they check to see if I am dilated and if the baby has dropped. And....she is still high and I am not dilated at all! That can change pretty quickly so, it's not a big deal. However, I am starting to think she may not come early.

Thanksgiving was really good this year, as usual. Glenda came in town and Lenny and Berlyn came over for dinner. The food was awesome and we have enough leftovers to last us through the week!

35 Weeks




With only 5 weeks left, I am getting pretty nervous. More about WHERE I will go into labor than anything else... We went and toured the hospital this weekend with the Carmichaels. It is really nice, but of course they will be doing construction to the Women's center starting Dec 9th and the parking and entry will be totally different. With Trey's parking anxiety, this may pose a small problem come delivery day :) Other than that everything is still good. My belly is getting HUGE and I feel her move all the time. Now it is more of a push instead of a kick!

34 weeks




At the doctors appointment this week we discussed the birth plan and I signed all the consent forms for the hospital. With only 6 weeks to go, they suggested I start getting my overnight bag ready. My iron was a little low, but they said that is normal towards the end of pregnancy and eating foods that are high in iron should take care of it.

I had a shower this past weekend and it was awesome! Amy and Maddie came down from Utah, Aunt Sharon came from Charleston, Phyllis and Bobbie came from Florida, and lots of my other friends traveled WAY outside the perimeter! We got lots of good stuff including the car seat and stroller!

Nursery!!

Here are some pictures of the nursery. It is still a work in progess, but this is what we have so far...

Trey put most of this stuff on her shelf. A pink nike football and a gator...

This is the infamous rocker! It only took every weekend in October to complete :)


32 weeks



We took these pictures in the nursery. It is really starting to come together! Everything is still going great. I had my first Braxton Hicks contraction this week. I was walking from the office to my car and it felt like she jumped and my whole stomach tightened. It was a very strange feeling and the only one I have had so far.

31 Weeks



At 31 weeks I am still feeling good. Sleeping is getting a little difficult, but I am going to bed early to make up for my 3 to 4 night time trips to the bathroom. :) I finished my rocker this week! Leigh Ann and I got done painting and Lenny and I made the cushions. There was even some left over material to make Hogan a new blankie!
