Maternity Photo Shoot!

Kristin did an amazing job for my 9 month maternity photos! I never thought I would be the one to get maternity pictures taken (especially in the 9th and biggest month!), but Kristin made it so easy and comfortable that I couldn't resist! Even Daddy got in on some of the photo action! We now have some great photos to look back on! Thank you, Aunt Kristin!

9 Months Preggo!

Hello 9th and final month!!!! Lot's has been going on in the past few weeks in preparation for our little girls arrival! We have attended TONS of classes (childbirth, breastfeeding, and at home with baby) and toured the maternity section of the hospital. Jimmy has been busy tackling last minute home projects and I have been nesting like crazy! The excitement of Baby Wolfe's arrival builds more and more with every passing day!


At my 34 week appointment, I was diagnosed with Polyhydraminos, which basically means I have an abnormal amount of amniotic fluid (high amount). Because of this, I now see a Perinatologist in addition to my regular OB. Each week I will be getting a biophysical profile (in-depth ultra sound and stress test) and my fluid levels will be watched closely. One in a hundred pregnant women are diagnosed with Polyhydraminos. Of those women, 60% fall into the "unknown" category, which means, there is no clear indication/reason as to why there is an increased amount of fluid. The Perinatologist concluded that I am one of those women. The biophysical profile and stress test showed that Baby Wolfe is healthy and right on track! The doctor had nothing but good things to say about our little one! Interestingly enough, my sister Kristin received the same diagnosis during her pregnancy. All in all both doctors are not overly concerned with things and just want to watch me a little closer before our peanuts arrival!


Today was our 36 week appointment and we had some positive news about the fluid level. My levels seem to be down (YAY!) but they want to continue to watch me because they were unable to get an accurate reading on the fluid. Our little one also seems to have her own agenda because she decided to do a flip on us and is now breech (head up by my ribs and butt down in my pelvic area). She had been head down for a while, but wanted to make things just a little tricky for us! We still have some time so hopefully she will decide to flip back into the correct position! Like my mom said, she has a gymnast's genes so of course she would be doing flips!

Patiently Waiting for Baby Wolfe....

We had our 34 week appointment today and everything went great! We got an ultrasound done to see how big our little girl was getting! She is weighing in at 5 pounds 6 oz., which is right on target! We also got some amazing pictures of her face, especially her chubby little cheeks! Enjoy! (foot) Patiently Waiting for Baby Wolfe...

The Nursery!

Jimmy and I have been hard at work getting the nursery ready for our little girls arrival! We have been putting numerous things together, washing clothes and sheets, and decorating, decorating, decorating! Here is a sneak peak at our little ones room! We blocked out the name in the monogram above her crib, sorry! Just 7 more weeks of it being hush-hush! :-)

Pennsylvania Shower!

Another wonderful weekend was spent celebrating our little girl! The Pennsylvania baby shower, held on March 12, 2011, was filled with amazing family and friends! Once again, I was overwhelmed by the generosity of so many amazing women! The shower was held at Jimmy's parent's house in Norristown, PA. The house was decorated with beautiful pink and white flowers, glass baby bottles that served as vases, an amazing table runner and banner, an embroidered welcome Baby Wolfe Hokie bird flag, a beautiful baby carriage cake, and very yummy food! It was so nice to visit with so many family and friends that we haven't seen in quite awhile! We all certainly missed the sisters, Kristin and Jenna, who could not be there, but were there in spirit. We felt their love all the way from Virginia and California. A big thank you to Pat, Mom, and Kristin for all of their hard work in putting on such an amazing event! Baby Wolfe and I felt very loved that day!

Virginia Baby Shower!

On March 5th we had our first baby shower at my parents house in Blacksburg, VA! What a wonderful weekend filled with so many amazing women in my life (and soon-to-be Baby Wolfe's life)! The generosity of family and friends was overwhelming! The shower was beautifully decorated with a hand made banner by my sister, hand made garden flag by my mother, clothes lines full of adorable baby clothes, an amazing cake, the cutest Hershey bar favors, and of course very yummy food! I can't thank my mom and sister enough for all the hard work that went into hosting such a wonderful event! Mommy Wolfe and Baby Wolfe feel so lucky to be surrounded by so many supportive women! We are looking forward to the next "shower of love" in Pennsylvania!
