Cleveland Clinic Miracle
Click the above link, just another IVF miracle. Amazing! This is the clinic that Jon and I went to, they really are amazing at what they do and make you feel so at home. Every nurse at The Cleveland Clinic was so comforting, I cried many times over silly things (and not so silly things)...in the office and over the phone. Reading that story just made me smile and then I rubbed my belly.

Amazing Story

Journal
I can't recall where I saw this idea or if it was even my own idea...pregnancy brain at it's finest. I just know that I've been kicking the idea around for awhile. I asked Elly if she would even want to do it and she immediately said yep and was really excited.
Basically it's a journal that only Elly and I can write in. (I told Big J he could read it but I know he won't, he's very respectful when it comes to these things.) We write notes to each other, color pictures in it, etc. We're making it up as we go too. I figured the first journal should be special so I ordered the above from Snapfish, little pricey but worth it. I think it turned out cute. I hope this will keep us close especially over the next few weeks when her little world will be rocked with a baby sister.

Bump Watch ~ Week 36
Mood
Still feeling good! Getting very excited and nervous too though. I don't care about the surgery but I'm petrified of the needle going in my back. Gives me the collywobbles just thinking about it. *shudders*
Symptoms
Having more and more braxton hicks as the time progresses. Few painful ones this weekend but nothing to go into L&D for. I wish there was a switch that I could turn off and let her know she's not coming out that way so knock it off. =) She's running out of room and I can sure tell. Asthma and coughing is still a daily occurrence unfortunately. I'm actually looking forward to her dropping a little to see if that relieves some of the symptoms.
Nothing really. Sad.
Poof is the size of a crenshaw melon.

LL Designs
My very dear friend Leah sent me a box last week for Poof and Elly. She was so generous and gave Elly a sweatshirt, Pokemon (gag) cards and little Squinkies. Elly was thrilled that her name was on the box of gifts too, she hasn't stopped wearing the sweatshirt since. Thanks Leah for making her feel special too.
On to the handmade gifts...a sleep sack and matching hat. I love the owl design, very settle but unique. This will come in handy seeing how cold it's getting, this morning it was 4 degrees...yes 4!
I adore this cute hat, loooove the pom poms!
This one is my favorite, I know for sure she'll wear it on the way home from the hospital.
She didn't stop there, she also bought some cute outfits, including a baby bikini! Thank you again Leah, I super big pink puffy heart you! Can't wait to see you again soon. XO

Weekend Ramblings
On Saturday Jon had his work Christmas party. I really was hesitant to go, I feel huge and surrounded by all his beautiful co workers in fancy smancy-ness was making me feel less then beautiful. But I rocked the belly and I was actually over dressed...go figure.
Little peek in the nursery...I spot diapers.
And just for fun...

During all the hustle and bustle it snowed quite a lot, Elly enjoyed playing in it of course (see below). Crazy how when you're young you can't wait to play in all the snow and as you are an adult the only thing you want to do is look at it with a cup of coffee in your hand.
Sunday we tried to finish up the nursery walls but failed miserably, the paint color is just a shade too dark for the touch ups we want...so we'll have to repaint. Work in progress. We did get new blinds up though...score!
