39 weeks!

39 week appt

So at my doctor appt this morning I was 4 cm, nearly completely effaced and the head is "extremely engaged" ha! All vitals looked great and we continue to wait to meet this baby! We talked about some other options if I don't go into labor over the weekend but we'll continue to play it by ear and are praying that I'll go into labor on my own again.

I am SO thankful for friends...friends who treat Henry like family. All he has talked about the past two days was getting to see "Tay, Nurner & OOee" (Tate, Turner & Zoe). So, when he woke up this morning and I told him he was getting to go play with them, a BIG smile popped on his face and when I dropped H off at Tate's house, he just said "see ya" and waved bye and ran to Zoe's pink kitchen that he LOVES and they immediately began playing. No problem whatsoever. It's SO nice to know that he'll be staying with them...he is smitten!

38 week appt

Well at today's appt I was 3 cm and still 50% effaced. Baby is measuring right on target so we are just playing the waiting game and givin' lots of lovin' to our little H...

:)

37 weeks!

I totally have made it to my goal...37 weeks.

Praise the Lord!

We are ready whenever you are baby!

Ask Henry if he wants a brother or a sister... and he'll say sister.

Kit was super happy to see that his son is in agreement with him on his prediction...

until I pointed out it's important how you ask the question...

He just repeats whatever you say last... :)

Doctor's Appointment

Just wanted to post a quick update on here.

Baby is measuring still right on track with good stats and is just as squirmy as ever! When checking for baby's heartrate, the doctor had to laugh at how fiesty the baby was and baby seemed to not like the doppler on my belly! (Oh my!) I actually lost weight from last appt (a good sign that we are getting closer to the end!) and my BP continues to be normal. Today I was 2 cm and 50% effaced and the baby has dropped.

So, I am slowly progressing and it's exciting to know that we are coming to the end of this pregnancy and sooner than later we'll be meeting our sweet pea.

I remember being dilated with Henry for a while, so I'm sure we still have some time, which is good since Kit just finished the "before baby" list and I promised him some r&r!

Time to Guess...

So with just 4 weeks to go, it's time to make guesses on Baby C's gender, weight, & birthdate. Leave your guess in a comment!

**I'm keeping this calendar updated with guesses so if you haven't left one yet...please do! :)

Doctor Appointment

I just got back from my doctors appointment and the good news is that I seem to be nice and boring...which is what you want when you are pregnant! I am not quite ready to have this baby yet...would still like a couple more weeks for baby to grow and get those lung good and strong! My stats and baby heart rate continue to measure right on track!

This baby already has me a little nervous...Henry seemed to be quiet, laid back and still even in the womb. Sure, every evening he would roll around and have some activity but mostly only if we agitated him (poked around on him) would he kick back a little here and there....I told Kit last night that this child never seems to stop moving! Even though the baby has ran out of room, I feel him or her moving, squirming, ALL the time and constantly see feet and elbows (almost like goose eggs) around my belly. Oh boy, the difference in personalities already! :)

35 weeks

Excuse the curls...with high humidity I choose to embrace them...ha! :)

Super cute baby shower!

Yesterday afternoon I was given a small shower by friends through our sunday school and MOPS. It was adorable...all black and white with some green and hot pink accents! The shower was so sweet and quite a suprise since this is baby #2, totally not expected at all. I am so thankful for the friends I have made since moving down here to Georgia (hard to believe it's almost been two years ago!). They are true friends. Thanks Tate and Jessica for all you did to make the shower so special! We have been so blessed!

Sneaky Aunt Amy :)

Adorable Diaper cake

These two punches were SUPER yummy!!

Cute food table

Tuckered Zoe at the end of the shower :)

A little shopping for baby...

..I was so excited to be able to hit the outlets with my mom and sister and get a little shopping done for baby. These items are the first things I bought for the baby...I think it has alot to do with not putting together a nursery and getting it ready (because it's already put together from H) that I feel like we are so behind (when really we are ahead of the game!)

It's AMAZING the difference in selection between the boys side of the store and the girls side! Not only in selection but in fabric, textures. September will still be HOT around here so while the girls side had a nice selection of lightweight fabrics, the boys were almost all heavy and too wintery! I had fun shopping for both genders and love that we will be taking both of these to the hospital as coming home outfits!

Henry also got his little gift for either Baby Boy or Baby Girl and they are ready for him to give the baby... :)

1 day shy of 34 week appt

This morning I had a doctor's appt and all my stats plus baby's are looking great! It's so hard to believe that I go back in 2 weeks and then it shifts to weekly appts until the baby is born. Today's appt was mainly over how we would like labor/delivery to play out, my thoughts on what I want to do for pain control, etc. Wow, another milestone that tells me that a baby is coming...soon!! ha! :). Henry was going to play with some friends this morning during my appt and Kit was suppose to go to work like normal but, Henry woke up with a fever...I'm pretty sure it's nothing but teeth but didn't want to take a chance of him sharing with friends :). Anyway, Kit was so sweet to come back home and agreed to watch Henry for me this morning since I already rescheduled this appt once before. But, when he came home he said he'd really like to come with me so we decided it would be fun to make a family morning out of it and Kit and Henry got to join me for the appt!

Plus, since I was such a good girl at the appt, I was treated to Steak 'N Shake :)

32 weeks...

...Yup, I can still see my toes! :)

Excited.

57 days!

31 weeks (a lil' late)

I'm sure by now ya'll can figure out that my friend Tate is really talented at taking pictures :). She and another friend are throwing me a shower in August and needed a couple of pictures for that so I stopped by the other day and this is what she did in just a couple minutes...love them! I would still like a small maternity session with Kit & Henry too outdoors but, I love these...simple & precious. Thanks, Tate!

I had my appt last Thursday and everything is look great and measuring right on track. As of right now I have gained 15 pounds this pregnancy and the baby is predicted to be about 7 1/2 to 8 pounds. We'll see...All I know is I am getting really excited to meet this little one!

:)

28 week appointment

Our appointment went really well and baby is measuring right on track and looking healthy!! My stats were great and it was awesome to see the baby today. Baby is head down and ACTIVE! :). That is the best picture we got at the appointment and it's hard for me to believe that I'm already down to going to the doctor every two weeks...crazy!!
Well, this is a quick post. I'm exhausted and so glad that glucola test is finished! It's 9p.m. and this is the first time we've been home today.

VBS has been awesome and tomorrow is the last day!

For comparison...this was Henry but he was father along at 34w6d weeks

Flying by...

Last Thursday before we left to go to Indiana, I had my 24 week appt (at 24 weeks Day6). When they checked me in, the nurse handed me my hospital registration packet and the glucola that I will need to drink for my next (28 week) appt. Both Kit and I can't believe how fast this pregnancy is going! The appt went well and I got to meet Dr. Moore's new partner. She was nice and we got to hear the heartbeat...strong and in the 150's!!

Here's my 25 week picture...Dad decided to join in on the fun, too! :)

24 weeks!

20 week U/S appt

We just got back from the doctor's appt a little while ago and I wanted to post a couple of pictures! I am so thankful for such a thorough doctor who looked the baby over from head to toe, took tons of measurements and explained everything. He is one high tech doc and couldn't believe all the different stuff he does compared to our u/s with Henry back in lafayette. Baby looks great and measures about 13 oz. We are so blessed and overjoyed to get such a great report! I, also, had a good report as I had quite the weight gain from last appt to this one! ha! (I think I have mamaw and the Aunties Kenlyn & Shana to thank for sending the goody packages!! :)). Below is the best picture we got from the appt. And, the gender still remains a surprise...

Anyone have any guesses??
Also, this handsome dude came with us and did a great job!!

Hard to believe this pregnancy is over half way over & he's getting closer and closer to bein' a BIG brother!!

:)
