Pregnancy Update 35 weeks

Here I am at 35 weeks (which was this past weekend). We are almost done and I can't wait!! We have less than 4 weeks until my scheduled c-section! So unless she decides to come early or they decide to get her out earlier that is the count down! The Dr's are currently watching my amniotic fluid very closely because I have too much as of last week. It only happens in less than 2% of pregnancies so of course I am one of the chosen! My legs and feet are more swollen because of it but we will see what happens. As of last Thursday she is measuring at about a week and 3 days ahead of schedule. She is estimated to be around 6 lbs 3oz but that is just an estimate. I'm hoping we still have a baby that comes out and not a toddler! Ava is getting excited but she doesn't know how much her world is going to change! It should be exciting! We are working on potty training Ava and she is doing fairly well at this point but she will have a really good week and then give up and not try for another week so its a learning process for all of us! 
Robby is working as much as he can right now before the baby is born so its been tiring for both him and I! He is working in the hot, humid sun and we love him for all that he does for us! I know I wouldn't last in this weather! Hopefully this fall when life settles down we can enjoy our 1 year wedding anniversary together just the 2 of us! Can't believe its almost been a year!! Time flies!

4th of July Weekend

We had so much fun over the 4th of July weekend. We spent it swimming, BBQ-ing and of course FIREWORKS!  We spent Saturday night at the Smyrna Rec Park in Smyrna, TN watching Uncle Steven in the Honor Guard and then watching their firework show. After every firework would go off Ava would say "wow big fireworks!" and of course everyone around us would laugh. She loved it! Not to mention before the fireworks there were bouncy slides, a black hawk helicopter she got to play in and other fun stuff!

 
I don't know who was more excited for the helicopter, her or daddy??

 
I think she was done with me taking pictures by this point!

Sunday night we our friends, Ryan and Brooke over for dinner and fireworks. Ava loved the sparklers

And this was how the night ended not long after the sparklers. She had a busy weekend and crashed. Good thing I had such a big pillow for her to sleep on!
