38 weeks and counting

Had another Dr. appointment today. Had an ultrasound to see how our baby boy is. He measured 7 lb 10 oz give or take half a pound. I'm dialated to 2 cm, which doesn't really mean anything could go into labor today or 2 weeks from now, no one can say for sure. Got a cute picture of his foot that I've attached.

I went and got a pedicure with Becky, Amy and Brandee today. I have a green shamrock for luck painted on my toes. Plus if I deliver on St. Patrick's day I will be wearing something green so no one can pinch me. It was relaxing, sitting in the massage chairs.

Projects

Dan and I are working on a couple projects just wanted to share the progress.

I put this design on the kitchen wall today.

37 weeks

Well we have reached the magical 37th week where they say the baby is full term. I had a Dr. appointment on Wed. of this week. Got into the exam room and got a text from Dan saying his Dr. was sending him to the ER to check for appendicitis, needless to say I wanted to get through my appointment so that I could meet him there. My doctor said I was having a contraction my response "Really? I don't feel anything". I've been assured that I will definitely be able to feel them when they get stronger and nearer to delivery. Baby's heartbeat was 144 and everything is going good. My ankles are usually non-existent by the time I get home from work because they swell with fluid during the day. I'm supposed to have another ultrasound next Tuesday to see how big our baby boy will be. I will also get measured to make sure I can deliver him or if I need to have a C-section. Will keep you posted.

Back to Dan. We found out it is a viral infection and not appendicitis, thank goodness although he has been home and not feeling well at all. Just starting to feel a little better able to get some food down today.

Baby Shower

I just wanted to thank everyone for the lovely gifts at the baby shower last weekend. Just makes me realize baby is almost here. Becky put together a great shower, the cake was awesome.

We got the Crib bedding ordered and set up. Isn't it cute!

31 weeks

We started kick counts, and things were going good lots of movement. Then Monday kick counts slowed down, I still had the required number but they were slower. I had a dr. appt scheduled already on Tuesday and we did an ultrasound. Everything is okay, the baby has just flipped back into the breech position so not feeling as much movement. We got yet another ultrasound that I have attached. In this one you can see that the baby has hair, the little spikes on top of his head. Both Dan and I had full heads of hair when we were born and with all the heartburn I have been having I'm expecting a full head of hair on our baby's head.

30 weeks

We had our 30 week appointment today with the specialist. Baby is in the 95 percentile now coming in about 4.7 lb so far. Heartbeat is strong at 165 bpm. Everything is looking good. Baby is now in the head down position, thank goodness. He is definitely moving and kicking, being a little wiggle worm. We got a couple of 3D pictures taken that I have attached. I also attached a couple pictures of Dan and I when we were about 1.

Baby's Crib

Mom and Dad came down yesterday and helped put the crib together. Thanks so much, loved having you come down and help. They also went to my 28 week appointment with me and got to hear the baby's heartbeat, 158 bpm. Everything is going smoothly.
