What will Nolan be like!?

Well it's Nesting Season (if you ask Will, it's been a LONG season)! While going through closets and organizing (ie.throwing everything away) I came across some pictures of Will and I as kids and started trying to combine us to get a good mental picture of what Nolan will look/act like. Let's just say, I think he's going to be pretty cute :), and a handful !!!!

Well, it's cuter if you picture it all without the eighties hair!

What month is it again?

Long Time, No Blog-I KNOW !

Things have been a little crazy the past few weeks and I have literally lost all track of time so I apologize (DUCKY!) for being negligent with the belly pictures, I will be better from here on out.

Let's see, where to begin...

At my last doctors appointment everything seemed to be moving right along. Nolan's heart rate is a little on the slow side 128-132 (still normal), wonder who he's going to take after!? Let's just hope he's a little more impatient and wound up when it comes to his due date & delivery!



Doc still says I'm probably going to be seeing her before the 18th which is good except I'm in panic mode...did anyone else start thinking, "wait I just need a little more time" when they got to this point? I feel like we've been going and doing so much that my house has been pushed to the back burner and now I'm SO TIRED and I just don't want to do anything when I get home. Hopefully that second wind will sweep in soon. I  gained 1 pound since my last appointment so here's hoping we keep up the good work and total out in the low 30's, I can live with that! 

I am definitely out of room, I catch myself trying to bend to get something and snapping back up real fast when I feel that sharp pain, whoops, sorry Nolan! He is all in my rib cage and at night I now have a pillow for me and a pillow for Nolan, that's the only way to find any comfort at all.



34 Weeks



In other family news, Will got a TATTOO! Let me just start off by saying I did not support this decision but it is the Campbell Crest and he got it with his cousins (they had been talking about this FOREVER). Ben decided they should all get this done while they were in town for his Bachelor party, so the night before they went out downtown to celebrate they all got inked. I then for the next 24 hours had 4 half dressed Campbell's walking around my house sporting some new body art. No worries we kept all the blinds closed and I asked them to avoid opening the doors. There's no telling what my neighbors would have thought if they had knocked on the door that day!

At least it's over and out of their system! My Campbell is NOT ALLOWED to get anymore tattoos, I told him I hadn't signed up for that when we were married so I though me sucking it up for the one was PLENTY generous enough. That being said they did turn out well.

Now we just have to hide it from Nolan until he is 27.





The words mean "forget not" or "never forget" ... I guess these guys don't have to worry about that!







A Shower for Nolan

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Yesterday Nolan was showered with some WONDERFUL gifts from our close friends and family. When I got home and Will started going through everything he said, "Wow, it's going to be impossible for this kid not to be spoiled!" I figured that was the perfect indication as to how much love and support little Nolan has already, he is very fortunate to be born into such wonderful families and friends.



And here is the 32 week belly



Stubborn already...

OK,OK for my friends that have been threatening me for a belly picture here is the HUGE (I think that's what you were looking for) 31 week belly shot!

At least I'm not as wide as the Christmas Tree yet!!

And for an update on Nolan...well he has been quite the little punk this week. As you know I have started my two week doctor appointments and begged for an ultrasound last time but had no luck, she said as long as everything looked good I wasn't going to get another one, BUMMER! I really want one because every ultrasound we have had he refuses to show his face, like I said STUBBORN!

So after a few odd chain of events this past weekend I ended up at Baptist on fetal monitors for a few hours yesterday, no need to panic, we're all good. Nolan just decided to give me a few contractions on Friday night and then stop moving Saturday thru Monday so they just wanted to check and make sure he was still doing okay. He has turned and is "in position" but lets just keep our fingers crossed that he decides to cook for a little while longer.

It did so happen that while I was there they wanted to go ahead and do an ultrasound too (NO, I know what you're thinking, I did not calculate this in order to see him) but as luck would have it the little twerp STILL wouldn't let me see his face! He had no problem showing his little boy parts, the ultrasound tech even laughed and said "well, he wants you to know he's is a boy" because of the way he displayed himself, but no face. He was sucking and his hands are all over his face, I think he's trying to find that thumb. I can already see we're going to have our hands full with this one. As for the movement concern, he's either,  A-run out of room in the 3 inches of torso I have or B-must take after his father with the laid back behavior because we know that didn't come from ME!

As for being able to tell what he looks like, I guess I will have to wait!

Here are a few pics from a photo session we did a few weeks ago as well. I will post more once I get them!

 And there you have it, Lot's of belly shots (just for you Ducky & Julee)!

Our first Shower !

Our sisters threw us a friends/couples/cookout shower this past Friday and we had such a great time! Thanks Kerri, Madeline and all of our friends that came and brought Nolan lots of great stuff!

27 Weeks, Men in Tights & Booby Scarfs!

Wow what a busy weekend we have had, I know they are all going to fly by from now until January! We had lots of stuff going on this weekend and it has continued into this week.

First off, A Nolan Update-

I went to the doctor today for my yucky glucose test and should know those results this week, hopefully all good things! I did find out that my blood type is B- so I have to get the antibody shot so that when the next little Campbell comes around my antibodies wont fight with his/her blood type, so that's on the agenda for the next visit.

 I have started my 2 week appointments now, jeeze it is flying by I cannot believe I am in my third trimester already! I have gained 23 pounds to date so if I can keep it down to the pound a week as suggested from here on out I think I can handle that, that will put me at 36...I'm shooting to stay under 30-35, we will see what happens. Only in a perfect world would I have been so lucky to be like one of those who only gains 15! I am still wearing my own pants (just wide open) but my Dr.seemed to be surprised by that, guess this baby is ALL BELLY.

Moving on...

Here are some pictures from our event filled weekend.

Jessica's Bachelorette Party -that Brad Pitt ruined by busting a water main (details below).

This weekend we had planned to celebrate Jess' bachelorette party with a girls weekend at Center Hill in a beautiful cabin, however, this didn't go as planned (go figure...)

I got a call Thursday informing me that they were shooting a movie up where the cabin was and that the "celebrity" that was staying in our house wasn't going to be able to check out until later than they had originally planned so we were going to have to postpone our check-in. I had a few feelings on this:

1. What a crock!

2. Is this celebrity paying you a lot more to be able to check out later, if so, SHOW ME THE MONEY!

3. Whatever, I'm not happy about it, but what do you do. Better be a good movie!

Then on Friday (the day before we check in) I get a call that a water main had busted in the house we were staying in and the only option they have is for us not to come and get our deposit back or we could downgrade to a cabin with fewer rooms, no lake view, and no hot tub (for the SAME PRICE), um let me think....

 1. are you kidding me?

2. Really, are you kidding me?

3. What's really going on up there between the concierge and Brad Pitt?

And finally, GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK (I had a few other thoughts that I didn't say bc Nolan can hear me now)!

Disclaimer: we have not confirmed that the celebrity was Brad Pitt but that's who we decided to plug in for story purposes.

So, we ended up with a fondue night at my house and a little venture out in town. Please make sure you check out Jess' awesome "bridal sash" that is draped around her neck!

And here are the Good Shots ... In order :)

And yes this is a charitable gift... half the proceeds go to breast cancer research!

She preferred them lopsided!

 And here are the pics you've been waiting for,
The Campbell men in SKIRTS!



A chip off the old block...



THE END

Whoa Baby!

26 1/2 weeks.... WHERE DID THIS COME FROM !!!

Please disregard the pale-ness.... looks like I need to visit the versaspa (and stop taking pics of myself at the end of the day)!

Nolan is kicking, flipping  dancing on my bladder still. Will has started to feel little taps on the outside but I think he enjoys kicking to the back more than the front so it is a rare occasion that we get to feel him on the outside.

Here are a few more things going on at the Campbell house... We've been BUSY (more so than normal).

Goody To-Do's (me) is now a WE and an LLC! I am also a independent stylist for Stella and Dot (check out the link below)! I think in the midst of all these business changes my house (ottoman, dining room table, nightstand, etc. ) have been taken over by papers & samples so I finally decided to get a grip on the situation and make a little "office". Yes, now the media room and guest room have fallen under attack... I guess that's what's to be expected when having a child and starting 2 companies.

Am I crazy !?

OK back to my "office"

This is the guest bedroom before I got to it.

And this is it after (everything in the above picture is still there... don't worry Kara your room is in intact!)

But this little corner has been taken over !

Goody To-Do's and Stella & Dot headquarters for now!

And last but not least... here is the this weekends main event !!

blurry.... erg!

 

I thought about leaving it at that but I guess I should explain...

Will is going to a Scottish festival in Atlanta this weekend with the Campbell men... so I'll have photos of all of them in catholic school girl skirts VERY SOON!

Sidebar: I wonder if Nolan will have bird legs... highly likely!
