Doctor's Appointment

This morning I had my weekly appointment. I'm still only 1 cm dilated, but the doctor says she's in position and ready to go. To say the least, I was extremely disappointed to still only be at 1 cm. I told her the last few weeks were getting hard and she asked if I wanted to discuss an induction at some point. This perked me up and she explained that induction would be favorable for me because I'm ready, I just might need a little push. SO...I'm am scheduled to be induced on JULY 9th! She thinks I'll have the baby before then, but I am happy I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. 10 days and counting!

Week 39

Your baby's waiting to greet the world! He continues to build a layer of fat to help control his body temperature after birth, but it's likely he already measures about 20 inches and weighs a bit over 7 pounds, a mini watermelon. (Boys tend to be slightly heavier than girls.) The outer layers of his skin are sloughing off as new skin forms underneath.

Here I am at 9.5 months

Doctor's Appointment

I went to the dr's this morning and I am still only at 1 cm. Her head is completely down and she's in the right position, but I don't think I'll have any action this week. Hopefully by my next appointment on Monday I'll be further along. Stay tuned...

Pictures of the Nursery

We finally finished putting together the nursery this weekend. Above her crib we are going to hang letters spelling out her name, but we can't reveal the name just yet...

Week 38

Your baby has really plumped up. She weighs about 6.8 pounds and she's over 19 1/2 inches long (like a leek). She has a firm grasp, which you'll soon be able to test when you hold her hand for the first time! Her organs have matured and are ready for life outside the womb.Wondering what color your baby's eyes will be? You may not be able to tell right away. If she's born with brown eyes, they'll likely stay brown. If she's born with steel gray or dark blue eyes, they may stay gray or blue or turn green, hazel, or brown by the time she's 9 months old. That's because a child's irises (the colored part of the eye) may gain more pigment in the months after she's born, but they usually won't get "lighter" or more blue. (Green, hazel, and brown eyes have more pigment than gray or blue eyes.)

9.25 months (You're actually pregnant for 10 months)

I had my weekly appointment on Monday and I'm coming along...I'm now dilated 1 cm and about 50% effaced. I don't think I'll have the baby this week, so stay turned for more pregnancy updates! Also, I'll post pictures of the nursery shortly. This weekend Brian and I finally finished getting everything ready for Baby Girl's arrival.

Baby Shower at Michele's

Here is the link to the pictures from my shower this past Saturday at Michele's house.

It was a small group of friends from high school, college and after and everyone had a fun time! Carrie even brought her new baby girl, Emory, who is only a month and a half old. She was a little fussy while opening gifts, but we had a great time taking turns holding her. Also, if you're wondering why Michele has a little bump it's because she's 17 weeks pregnant...with TWINS!
