New Pregnancy Pics

After being chastised for not updating my blog and receiving requests for updates (Jenny), I promise to never wait this long again between postings. As I'm sure all of you know, my belly is getting bigger and bigger! I'm about ready to get this baby out! I don't sleep much anymore and I have this excruciating pain at the top of my belly when the baby decides to push out as hard as he/she can. That part is not fun at all! Other than that I'm doing pretty well. So here are some updated pictures of my basketball belly.

This is me at 36 weeks:

This is 37 weeks:

This is 38 weeks:

I'm pretty large, huh! My midwife told me this week that she thinks I'm having a 71/2 or 8 pound baby. I almost died when she said that! I only weighed 5 pounds something when I was born and Daniel was about 7 pounds so I was banking that our baby would be small. I guess we'll find out soon enough!

Thanksgiving in Miami

Daniel and I decided to take a trip down to Miami to visit his Nana for Thanksgiving. Plus, we thought it would be a great little vacation before the baby comes. We had a great time! The weather was perfect; it was in the high 70's the whole time we were there. We swam in the pool in Nana's retirement community, went to the beach, did some shopping, and visited with family. We saw Nana and her two sisters, Ruth and Lou, as well as Daniel's Aunt Sandy and Uncle Henry. It was a wonderful vacation!


This is Daniel in front of the peacocks that live in Nana's retirement community.

Here we are at South Beach.

This is me at 24 and 25 weeks. I think I look bigger
at 24 weeks than I do now. How is that possible?

I promise I'm not a drug user!

About a week and a half ago I had my glucose screening test to find out if I am at risk for gestational diabetes. Well, I got a call from the doctor's office that my glucose was high so I had to go back for a three hour glucose test. So last week I had to go back to the doctor's office and stay there for 3 hours. They drew my blood when I got there, then had me drink that sugar filled drink. After that they drew my blood 3 more times for 3 hours! That's a total of 4 times, 2 in each arm. So about a week later this is what I look like with the lovely bruises on my arms from being "poked" so many times. I try to hide my arms when I go out so people won't think I'm a drug user. By the way, I haven't heard back from the doctor's office so I think I'm in the clear for gestational diabetes. Whew!

Crib and Baby Bedding

So this is our crib and baby bedding. I found the bedding on the internet and fell in love with it. It's kind of hard to see it from the picture but it's a light mint green color and is so cute! We got our crib at a garage sale for $50. We love a bargain!

21 Weeks!

This is me at 21 weeks. You really can see the bump now! I still have people tell me that I don't even look like I'm pregnant, and I think to myself, "Yes I do!" I guess I do have some clothes that hide it well. Anyway, the baby has been moving a lot lately. It's so cool to feel him/her moving around in my belly. It's also crazy to think that there is actually a baby in there. I'm more amazed everyday! I really am enjoying pregnancy and can't wait to meet baby Scherer! (By the way, we're not finding out the sex of the baby so you'll have to wait until January to find out!)

New Hair-Do

After Daniel finished his boards yesterday, he decided it was time for a haircut. So he busted out the clippers and started cutting. I even got to help shave off some of it. It was pretty fun! So here's the new Daniel:This is his Zoolander pose. Pretty sexy, huh!

Nikki's Wedding

This weekend I went to California for my good friend Nikki's wedding. She got married in Newport Beach and it was a beautiful wedding! It was so fun to share that special day with her and to see old friends from college. What a great weekend!
The happy couple.

Pooped out!

Daniel has Part 2 of his board exams coming up next weekend. So he's been studying like crazy! The other day I came into the living room and this is what I saw. Daniel was sprawled out asleep on the floor! Poor thing, he'd been studying so hard and was exhausted. Don't worry babe, it'll all be over next weekend (until Part 3 of boards that is).

Mom's Visit

My mom visited us over Labor Day weekend. We had a great time! The best part was shopping for maternity clothes. Now I actually have a few things I can fit in. Thanks Mom!
