Check up at the OB

We had another OB Dr visit yesterday. The Dr said that basically I'm the same as I was last week and that nothing had really changed. So, I'm still 50% effaced and am still not dilated at all. Her heart sounded healthy however, and my blood pressure was still running good. So, I guess our little girl just isn't ready to meet the world yet. I can't say that for myself however. I'm pretty ready for her to come right on out and meet everyone!! I guess she has her own time for things though and is probably a little stubborn just like her dad...ok, and her mom too I guess :) Here's a picture at 36 1/2 weeks!!

The Crib is Complete!!!

The baby crib that Chris has been working on for our little girl is now complete!! It's a solid oak convertible crib that changes from regular crib to toddler bed to a headboard and footboard for a full size bed. I think he did an amazing job as it turned out beautifully!!! It's definately something that will make a wonderful keepsake for our daughter for many years to come. Here are few pictures of it assembled and in her room.

Office Shower

Last Tuesday afternoon I had a shower thrown by the girls that I work with at The Bond Clinic. We went out to eat at a wonderful Mexican restaurant here in Rolla and had a great time!! The decorations and party favors were adorable and the food was awesome! It meant a lot to me that they took the time to plan the shower and spend the afternoon with me. Here are a few pics from the "wild party" !!

Early Arrival???

Well, Chris and I had another Dr's appointment today. I gained 2 pounds which the Dr was still very happy with. That makes a total of 17 now. My blood pressure was still great and the baby's heartbeat was still nice and strong and healthy sounding. Now, on to the interesting news. The Dr doesn't think I'm going to make it that much longer....possibly another 2 weeks or so. The baby has dropped significantly and is "engaged in the pelvis". In other words, she's way the heck down there. There are several other things going on which makes it also evident that I won't probably be going another 5 weeks. I also had my first touch of contractions this afternoon on the way to the Dr. which was just great feeling. So, things are going a little faster than any of us anticipated. I have to go back again next week for another check. He said that if things start progressing quicker, he will just put me in the hospital and go from there. This is all kind of a shock to me, so I'm a little bit nervous about it all right now. I'm sure things will be fine, but it's still a little scary. Anyway, here's today's tummy pic!!!

33 Weeks, 6 Days Baby Bump

Getting Bigger!!!

Another Good Report!

Chris and I had another Dr's visit yesterday and all is still well with the little one! Her heartbeat is still really strong and she's moving around in there like a little gymnast. I didn't gain any weight in the past 3 weeks which didn't seem to bother him. He just told me that it would easier for me after she's born with losing the weight. I've gained a total of 15 pounds now and he's pleased with that. My blood pressure is still doing great and everything is as it should be. We have our one day marathon childbirth classes on Jan 17th so that should be interesting. I just hope my husband behaves while that's going on :) So, just a report that all is well in babyland!!
