Crunch Time

36 weeks and counting! I CAN NOT believe we only have 4 more weeks and BABY will be here :) We had a shower at our church this past weekend and got a lot more stuff that we needed!! A lot of diapers, gift cards, etc. It's so much fun planning for him to get here! It was a nice quiet shower with our family and church friends, it was great.

We had our 36 weeks check up at the DR. yesterday and was able to get an ultrasound! She said he was measuring right on track and was looking to weigh in at this point around 6lbs 5oz which is normal BUT we all know he will continue to grow in the next few weeks and only be bigger! His heartbeat was 140 and the ultrasound shows he has chubby cheeks! We couldn't tell much, he kept moving and yawning but as long as his measurements were good then I can wait a few more weeks to see what he looks like. The DR. also said I was dialated 2 maybe 3 cms. He had no concerns about me being on my feet or anything, he only told me to continue to take things easy as I have been. My BP, weight and everything was still good too so I am thankful for that!

We went and met with the pediatrician we decided to use for BABY. He was very informative and knew what he was talking about. I think we both were very comfortable with him and everything so it's nice knowing you feel safe with your DR.

We have been continuing with our lamaze classes and I think we have learned a lot. We are in there with a few people we know and have gotten to know so it is nice to relate to other women and men who are in the same position we are at this moment.

Next week we go pre-register at the hospital and get everything there ready for our arrival and the following day we have another appointment with the DR :)

Tonight - We are going tonight to Babies R US to finish shopping and get everything we still need (which is not a lot thanks to our family and friends!!). It seems like now it's crunch time and we have all these appointments and things to do before he gets here I can only imagine how crazy life will be when he gets here BUT I know we are both ready!
