Long and hot days

Hot Hot Hot! Oh my goodness....I cannot imagine being 9 months pregnant in August! Today it was 90 degrees and it felt like 95 degrees. I just spent the past hour outside with my first graders and am really wishing I was inside a cold bath right about now.

I have gotten to the stage where it is very difficult to sleep at night. I feel like I'm squashing Lola half the time and can literally feel exactly where she is in my belly. Yesterday when I laid down she was curled up under my left rib in a strange sort of ball and I kind of tried to nudge her over a little so that I could get comfortable but she wouldn't budge. I called Keith over to show him and we both just thought it was pretty crazy...it looked like a strange bulge in my belly sticking out.

Lola really loves these Dreyer's Strawberry Fruit Bars and so do I. Those will be a very good treat over the summer :)

Shower #1

Well my first shower was a huge success. My friends at school, Grace and Sherrill, threw it for me. When I walked in they gave me a dozen pink roses. They were beautiful. There was a VERY big cookie cake that said "Baby Lola" on it. It was adorable. I got all kinds of gifts too....my tub, bottle warmer and bottles, pacifiers, clothes, a Christian parenting book, high chair, formula dispensers, a quilt, etc! It was a really nice way to end the year. The quilt was neat too because a lady from my school made it and brought a pen with it and everyone could sign it.

Here are some things I received:

This weekend....

Well this weekend Keith, Lola, and I went to North Carolina. Lola was NOT a big fan of the airplane. She tossed and turned a lot and even gave a very forceful kick at the end of the second flight.

It was so much fun to see all of my family. I won't see most of them again until after Lola is here so it was nice getting to see them during the pregnancy stage.

Lola is starting to push herself out a little more I think. I think I definitely look pregnant to most of the world now. I'm sure by August I will just be like a gigantic balloon.

Thursday is my FIRST baby shower!! I am so excited! My friends Grace and Sherrill at school are throwing it for me.

No more news really....Lola continues to try and make mommy nauseous which is not so nice....but it will be over soon. :)

Lola's Stroller

This is what Keith and I finally decided to choose as Lola's stroller: http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=-1&SKU=16302309&RN=1119

We really like it and we are very excited!

In other news....Lola has been kicking a little more. However she seems to never really kick when someone is there. For example, my parents still haven't felt her kick yet. She just won't cooperate sometimes. At night she likes to kick Keith in the face when he puts his head on my tummy to talk to her. It makes me laugh a lot. Funny little Lola.

6 months down...3 to go....oh me oh my :)
