Dr. and baby shower

Friday I had a dr's appointment and everything went good...except I gained 5 pounds in two weeks!!!  When I stepped on the scale I almost had a heart attack just because it was such a big jump in a short time period.  When the dr came in I was asking her if I need to be changing my diet or need to be doing anything different, she just kind of laughed (I'm sure she thought I was overreacting) and said "you just look a little more puffy than usual so it's probably just water weight and you're doing fine, you're still in a very normal weight gain range.  You're just in the stage of your pregnancy where you're gonna get puffy!"  She also said that she can't put me on bed rest because there is nothing medically wrong with me and I've had such a normal pregnancy, but that when I get home I do NOTHING.  She said I know it's going to be hard because you're going to want to be cleaning and washing and putting things away, but don't!  You get home, you put your feet up and that's it.  Sorry babe, dr's orders!  Ya right.  I'm sure they tell all pregnant women that hoping to just slow them down a little bit, it's impossible to come home and do nothing, sorry.  I'm starting my 33rd week this week and I measured at 34 cm, right on target!  I asked her if she was able to tell how big she actually was, she felt around a little bit but said she couldn't really get a good estimate, maybe in a couple weeks when she's a little bigger.  Colton and I have our "baby class" comin up on the 9th, I'm super excited about it, I'm not really sure why because I'll probably just get more freaked out about the whole thing afterward!

I had another baby shower this past Saturday, it turned out SO nice.  We had a really great turnout and we got some much needed stuff.



Nice little profile picture, my butt looks just as big as my belly!  And yes, my hair is red.  I went to get a haircut after my dr appointment on Friday and was tired of having to highlight it and keep up with the expense so I was going to get it dyed back to my natural color and just leave it alone (for a while anyway!), well there was so much blonde on my hair that they had to put a filler on it so the brown wouldn't just wash right off after they put it on.  She warned me that it will be a red color after she rinses it because I have natural red undertones (which I've known forever, and my mom has them too) and she was putting them back in.  After she rinsed it and was drying it to get it ready for the brown color, I told her that i kind of liked the red!  I NEVER thought I would want red hair, but I think I was just ready for a change overall.  My body is changing, and growing, more and more everyday and i really just needed a pick me up I guess.  I love it!  Colton was completely shocked when he walked in the door, but don't let him fool you, he loves it too :)  Honestly I'm pretty sure it's just a phase, like I said I just needed a pick me up and I always feel better after doing something different to my hair...I don't know why, I guess that's kind of weird.  My dad HATES it, but then again he hated it when I went back to my natural hair color a couple years ago (which is a fairly dark brown color), he likes it when I have it highlighted blonde.  My mom said she just wants me to leave my hair alone lol!  I guess I do change my hair a lot, but it's just hair!  I consider it an accessory I guess that I can change up and I can always put back!  Who knows, the next time you see me I might be hot pink!

Check out this cake!  Colton's Aunt Terri and his mom made it, they did a fabulous job and it was so yummy!

This was one of the games we played, it was so fun!  We had three teams of three, the first person had to change the diaper, the second person had to dress the baby then run it over to the third person who had to put it in a stroller and weave it through a little maze, very creative!



All of the beautiful hostesses :)

And the memaws!
