Baby Girl Aiello was 31 weeks as of yesterday, which means we have 55 more days...eek! She is the size of a pineapple! YUM! :) I will say, I actually craved pineapple this week.
This week she is going through major brain, nerve, and eye development. Her irises now react to light and all five senses are in working order! She is between 15.2-16.7 inches long. And because of our ultrasound this week, we know that she is 3.13 pounds and is STILL a girl. Third time has to be the charm, right?? :) This ultrasound was a growth scan since she was measuring big, but it looks like she is only measuring ahead by 3 days. We were able to see all of her little organs and see all 4 chambers of her heart working away...that was incredible! The tech and the Doctor both said she is very "proportional," which I view as a really great thing. She looked adorable as ever and was looking right at the camera. Too bad we didn't have our 3D this week! She was knelt down and just sucking on her little arm the entire time. Here is a pretty cool shot we got that shows her little face. :)
I am feeling pretty good for the most part...just super tired! My blood pressure was raised at my appointment, but I took it again that night and it was perfectly fine so I am hoping that was just a fluke. I go to the Doctor again next Wednesday. My feet have still been swollen, but off an on. I think a pedicure will be in my future! Although, I noticed in the shower this morning that I can no longer see my feet without bending over!! Here is our 31 week picture:
The Doctor said she had a growth spurt and I believe it!!
Chris and I had a pretty stellar weekend this past weekend! Friday night, we celebrated Kanishka's Birthday at Fast Times and Cooper's Hawk. I had the best dessert at Cooper's Hawk with a big, warm chocolate chip cookie with melted Reese's topped off with vanilla ice cream...AMAZING! I was the purse lady at Fast Times, but it was fun to see everyone race.
What nerds!
They are all just a blur!
Chris and I also went on a date night Saturday for dinner & a movie to see "The Lucky One." How lucky am I that he would see that with me?? Let's go back to dinner....OMG! It was amazing!!! We went to Santorini in Fountain Square and it was THE best Greek food I have ever had...and I've been to Greece...lol! It was incredible and I want to go back ASAP. Here is a pic of Chris enjoying the hummus and saganaki!
Sunday was so much fun and so special! My Mom hosted a Baby Shower for us with friends and family. She put so much time and effort into making it look just right and I cannot thank her enough! I loved all of the owl decor and she made all of my favorites to eat! Thank you also to everyone that came! Baby Girl Aiello and I feel so unbelievably loved and we cannot thank you enough for your generous gifts!! Below are some pictures of the special day...ok a lot of picture from the day. :)
Sorry for the picture overload...I have lots more, but I wanted to put up some of my favorites! I really did have such an awesome time seeing everyone!
I know you are probably on photo overload, but I have to share two more ADORABLE things that I had made for Baby Girl Aiello! What do you think??
Lastly, a special Congratulations to Mike & Tammie Golio! We are so sorry we could not make the Wedding. We wish you both a lifetime of happiness!!!
