35 Weeks!!!

WOW!! And THIS is why I am not a blogger haha!! I for sure need to get better at this! Especially when the little one gets here and I need to share all her cuteness!!
I can not believe that I am now 35 going on 36 weeks!!! The end is near! Yet SOOOO far :/ I am for sure ready to meet this little angel and not to mention get feeling like a normal human again haha!! 
So much has happened in the last 15 weeks! Here's a little catch up... 
24-25 weeks Dusty and I enjoyed a Babymoon in St. Lucia! It was absolutely amazing!! It was so nice to lay in the Caribbean sun on the white sandy beaches!
When we got back from our trip we started on the nursery and Isabella's bathroom!! Thanks to my mom and Dusty for all their help painting!! We are done with everything except still waiting on our glider and ottoman to get here!
We celebrated our 2nd Anniversary together June 4th and had a blast together! I can't believe it has been 2 years!! Time flies when you are having fun!! We also got to start our 6 week birthing class that night! We just finished this week and I highly recommend it for everyone!! We had so much fun attending these together and learned so much!! It was also great for Dusty to be able to get in on the action a little more!!
Then through out the month of June I had 4 baby showers!! I am so grateful to all of my family and friends who hosted, and attended them to support us and our little one!! We were overwhelmed with all the sweet gifts and I will have such fun memories of these showers forever:)
July so far has been just as busy for us!! Brady (Dusty's Brother for those of you who may not know) was able to come home from the Naval Academy in Annapolis Maryland for 2 1/2 weeks for a little summer break, before he had to start his football training! When Bray is home its like vacation time for everyone! We all just try to spend as much time as we can together and do anything and everything that is fun while he is here!! We just sent him back off on Wednesday and will get to see him in Colorado in October for the Navy Air force football game! 
I may have gotten a little ahead of myself thinking I could keep up with everyone 34 weeks preggo and in this heat. Last Friday we ended up in the Labor and Delivery ( the on call Dr. made me!) I am not one to go in unless I am told that there is no choice :/ I had been having migraines on and off for about a week and then last Friday was not even able to get out of bed.
Dr. Rappleye called me in some Loratab and said if that didn't help that I needed to go to the ER. Well that was at about 10 AM and by 5:30 PM and 2 Loratab later I was still feeling the same. I called in and they said that I needed to get in ASAP in case of preeclampsia. So we rushed to pack up some things in case I had to be induced and rushed to the hospital! Luckily my blood pressure was good so they just kept us there to moniter Isabella's heartbeat and do some blood work on me. After all the results they said I had probably just been over doing it and I needed to relax a little more and stay cool. They drugged me up with a Demoral shot and sent me on my way! Fewf we were starting to think they were going to kick our little Isabella out way to early!! The headaches have still been on and off but not quite as bad since I am trying to take it easy!
Other than that nothing to exciting yet!! But I am hoping we can make it to 37 weeks and then I would love for Isabella to come:)) 
I will post a few pics from all these fun things and here is my little Q&A part that I have not kept up on:/
Also I will get some full finished Nursery pics up as soon as our glider gets here!!
