week 37 and a half

went in for my weekly check today, not much change from last week. still at 2 cm, but we are 50% effaced instead of just squishy and baby girl is at a -1 station, which is almost fully engaged. dr beck said he wouldnt be surprised to see baby sometime next week-we will see. i am opting not to have an induction but to just let her come when she feels like it. thanks to my beautiful children i am now fighting with a cold, as they are too, and i feel like poo. i hope its a short one- the girls new doctor says that it should only last 5 to7 days.

SO, I want your guess on baby since we are close! What day, time of the day, and weight do you think baby P. will be at???

Just some background: Baylie was 8 # and 4.5 oz and was born at 12:15 pm, she was 8 days early. Daisy was induced on the first day of week 40, she was 8# 9.5 oz and was born at 8:15 pm.

Sunny days sweeping the clouds away.....

So about a week and a half ago my mom and step dad got the kids a swing set. James and Bob put it up in a few hours and then I went and got a toddler swing for it so Daisy could swing too. Here are some pictures from yesterday, and while it was NOT admittedly sunny as the title implies, it was 70 and beautiful right up until the rain started!



Baylie being a good sister and giving Daisy a push.

She's so cute.

I have to tell her when to stop pushing Daisy cuz she gets that swing really going!

Both of my girls swinging

She likes to lay parallel to the gound when she swings.

And she is a ham!

Which brings us to the bump. This picture was taken at 35 weeks and 3 days. My next appt. is next week on the 28th, just before I turn 37 weeks. Its hard to believe we only have 30 days as of today, and on Thursday I will be considered "term" and they won't stop labor if it starts!! I am getting very excited for the baby shower on Sunday and have been busily cleaning the house inbetween outside play sessions! I had a small shower for Baylie before she was born, but Daisy never had a shower, so it will be nice to have some new things for this baby. BUT the real joy is in seeing friends and family for an afternoon before our life gets even crazier!!

35 week check

Tomorrow I will be 35 weeks, only 5 more to go! We had a check up today, my ob says she measures good, her heart was chuggin along at 135ish, my bp was 117/70 and hey I lost about 10 lbs in 2 1/2 weeks! I showed my ob where her butt was (just under my ribs) and he told me that maybe in the next few weeks she would drop and her butt wouldn't be in my ribs any more. To which I replied "Doctor Beck if she drops any lower she may just fall right on out!" So with that he decided to check everything down below. The trap door is still firmly shut BUT he was honestly shocked to feel that she is indeed VERY low, as in her head is sitting on the trap door just waiting for it to open for her. lol. And with that my appt. ended and I go back in two weeks for my next check and my group B strep test (oh joy). After that appt. I will start to go back every week until she figures out how to say "open saysme" and gets that trap door to open up for her. :o)

Easter

baylie

This last week Daisy got actual Rx glasses because she cant see. Baylie, seeing Daisy wear something she didnt have, begged for a pair of glasses. At first we tried those reader glasses they sell over the counter with the lenses out of them. But that wasnt good enough. So I went to Walmart and bought her a set of frames from off the wall in the eye doctors office that have just plastic lenses...no Rx. She loves them and has been wearing them for the last 2 days solid. So I just had to take a picture.

she was 'helping' me with the baby shower invites

this week

We made the trip to Denver to have Baylie's sleep study done as well as having her sleep deprived EEG done this week. Both tests went well, we should be getting the results from both in about 2 weeks.

I had my 32 week check up. Everything was fine. My bp was 113/61 baby's hb was 130. He didnt tell me the measurements but said they were right on track. My hemaglobin was low (I think because I am getting sick) so he gave me an Rx for an iron pill and an antibiotic.

Daisy's glasses came in as well. So the pics are for your enjoyment!

from a distance they aren't bad, but we didnt have many options to pick from.

Close up.
