Mom's House & Baby Update

After 29 years of calling it "home"I think the house is worth a post! I know if you've moved around all your life you can't begin to understand what a house can mean but it was hard to say goodbye. Even Nate admitted he didn't know why I was so upset but was comforting anyway. The good news is we're SO excited to have my mom move out close to us and be in a new house. It feels like the end of an era, and with the baby coming our house really feels like "home" now. Lord willing, she'll be out here by the end of the month, even better if she can be out here by baby time!

And just when you thought I couldn't get any bigger..... 37 1/2 weeks.....

We had another appointment this morning. Everything is looking good. I'm not dialted at all yet but she said that doesn't mean a whole lot. I surprised them with my blood pressure being right on. (I guess people start to panic as they get close to due dates.... made me wonder if I was supposed to too...). Jr's heartbeat is perfect as well. He's still very active which the midwife said could be an indication of what he'll be like on the "outside"..... wonderful! I'm still measuring at 37 because I'm starting to drop some but not all the way yet. We still have 2 weeks and 2 days left at this point but we're ready. Nate just can not wait to meet his little fishing buddy and I can't want to not be pregnant anymore!

Happy 29th & almost 36 weeks!

I guess its better than next year's huh! With everything going on, my birthday seems so small but we did get some time to celebrate. Nate took me out for a yummy shrimp fest dinner at Red Lobster. Tuesday Melody cooked me another yummy stir fry dinner and more cake....And of course thank you everyone for the gifts, calls, texts and cards.

We're officially in the home stretch now too. We had a Dr's visit today (going every week now) and I was told, if I go into labor now they won't be stopping me! Though first babies tend to come a bit late. I'm measuring right on at 36 which I will be 36 weeks tomorrow. Everything else is looking good. He's been getting into some weird positions but still head down and they don't think he will change much at this point. I'm starting to swell in my hands and feet some which is uncomfortable but its still not too bad, I can still wear my wedding band so that's nice for now.

We're pretty much all ready too! I had another shower at work last week which was so nice, I got a lot more nice things, we really can't get over how generous everyone has been and we SO appreciate all the gifts we've gotten.

So between all the birthday and baby celebrations I've gained about 35lbs now which just freaks me out totally but I guess there isn't too much I can do at this point (except stop eating cake!).
