Week 36

Look at that nose! I was expecting a vaginal exam, but when he did the sonogram the baby's head was down but not in the birth canal yet, so I guess he felt it wasn't needed. I asked if this meant for sure that we could deliver at Saint Francis South because you have to be 37+ weeks to go there. His answer was, "You will definately make 37 weeks!" YAY!! Huge praise!


Another huge God blessing is... At the beginning of the pregnancy, I had to have to infusions. Dr. Nilson's staff hired a nurse from one of the hospitals to do the infusions. Her name is Kristen Buchannan. Yesterday afternoon, I asked the office manager, Kora if I could have her info because Kristen wanted me to let her know how things ended up. Kora called Kristen right then and Kristen works at Saint Francis South. She told me that if she wasn't working to text her and she would come right up to the hosipital. What a huge blessing to know a nurse personally ahead of time.

For me, I am feeling really good. The occasional sharp pains through my sciatic nerve, but for the most part feeling really good. People are asking if I am ready for this little one. My reply is, "It is all still surreal. Until we leave the hospital with the little one in our arms, I am not sure it will feel real."

Johnny's baby had so much happen to it this week. Here is the list of all that has happened. Paint finished, driveway and walkway finished, lights up, electricity on, cabinets finished, counters will finish today, master shower finished, flooring up and down start today, plumbing starts today. The house has transformed and we are loving it. Can't wait for everyone to see it. I will do a walkthrough video when it is complete.






Have a great weekend and week everyone! Thank you for being there for us. It is greatly appreciated and prayerfully not overlooked!

Week 35

If you look at my belly towards the top of the screen you can see the movement. Baby had the hiccups. I'm going to try to catch a few more of these moments because how cool will it be to look back with our darling little one and show them moving in Mommy's tummy.

It's spring break this week, but I have overwhelmed myself with things to get done. On Friday, I am taking the whole day to do nothing and really looking forward to it.

I got to have lunch with my aunt Nan and my Nanna yesterday. My grandmother is so cute about my growing belly. She wants to touch it and thinks the pictures in the womb are so neat. You would think this was her first, but actually this baby makes the 5th one this year (July - July) (Hayden will be next with the 6th in June) and I think number 25th great grand child. My family is very fertile!! ;)

Working out is getting harder, but I keep telling myself to just make it to the gym. It will be worth it! Have a wonderful week!

Week 34

Baby and belly continue to grow. It is now a countdown to see which comes first the baby or the house. Here is the best quote of the week sent in by Brian Beck, "Let me know if you need help moving or pulling your old house to the new one ;)" I thought this was hilarious!!

Paint starts today in the house, so getting closer.

Blessings, blessings, blessings to you all!

Week 33

Dr. Nilson had to change my next week's appointment to today. Baby is measuring 5 lb. 10 oz. Head measured at 36 weeks. I think it is going to be a very smart baby since the brain develops the most in the 8th month. Crazy!

I am love watching my belly roll and wave. It is so amazing that the little one is in there. Life...not to be taken for granted.

No pics again this week. I need to remember to ask Dr. Nilson why, but forget each time we are in his office.

On Johnny's baby...the sheet rock is finished and textured. Trim starts tomorrow hopefully and paint on Monday. Johnny told me 2 days ago that he is still reaching for Spring Break as the move in date. I have all the Faith needed to move mountains, but this is Everest in my book. God can do it, but looking at what is left and that Spring Break is 8 days away... I'm curious how the Lord would pull this off. Not saying He can't, just saying that it would be a MIRACLE!!! I do love a good miracle though.

***Game*** If you would like to guess the gender, birthdate, time of birth, weight, and length of baby. Please either comment or send me an email or post on fb you guess. I will mail the winner a $25 Gift Card to Target!***

Have a great weekend!

Blessings sweet friends! Blessings!
