Doc Visit

Hello! With 19 days to go we have been seeing the doctor much more often. We just got back and things are looking pretty good. My blood pressure was a little higher than it has normally been so they took it twice after resting a little bit and it was a little lower. Low enough to not get monitored today. After checking me the doc said I was at 1 cm, which doesn't mean too much. He does want me back on Friday to double check my blood pressure, fluid levels and I will do a non stress test then. Has anyone done one of those? I'm just wondering what they do during that. I'm hoping for another week and a half at least...but we'll see. Who knows maybe he'll even come late. We'll see!

38 Weeks

I cannot believe that we are this close to having Baby Jimmy! School started last week and I have been super busy and stressing so the braxton hicks and contractions have been bugging me during the day. It's been a nice reminder to relax as much as possible. I feel mostly ready... We've been gradually packing the bag, car seat is in the car, and sub plans are being worked on. The back pain and inability to move easily has gotten annoying so as soon as my students have one last week to prep for a sub, this kiddo can come out as soon as he wants too. We have most all of the baby's room put together, excluding the glider which Jimmy will be working on putting together (Thank you Brown Fam!) and then I'll post pics of baby's room ;) We can't wait!

Ha Ha!

I saw this little cartoon online today, and had to laugh. Enjoy!

Spot on!

Jimmy and I just got back from the doctor's office. I'm in my 35th week! I can't believe that I only have 5ish weeks to go! We got in and did the normal routine. I'm measuring spot on and when the doc went to get his heart beat all the pushing around got the baby a little excited and he started pushing back! It was really cute :) I've been doing really good. Except for the sore hips and joints, tired-ness and smidge of stress getting ready for the baby and school coming up, I'm doing great! We are so excited for this little guy to come out!
