Belly update!

Here is my lastest belly update...36 weeks!

By the way, this is what I see when I look down... HA! :)

Where are my feet anyway?

Ro and directions...

Well, last weekend Ro tried to put together the baby's little Boppy vibrating seat. He was doing so good at following directions but there was one piece that got put on wrong. Then it made another piece flip the wrong direction. We tried to fix it, but got frustrated, so it got pushed to the side this week. Thank goodness Makenzi came over today! She helped take out all of the screws, flip everything around and put the screws back in. She is such a great helper (and she loved using Uncle Ro's electric screw driver)!

Week #36

Today we went to our 36 week appointment. I was very excited because we got a sonogram too! We have not seen the baby in awhile, so it was a great feeling to see how she has grown.

I have been wondering how she is doing all of the punching and moving. Then today we saw her and she is going to a great size! The sonogram tech measured her at 6 lbs and 1 oz. The doctor predicts that she will be somewhere in the the 7ish lb range. (Ro says 7lbs 7 oz.) PERFECT SIZE!

We were able to she her kidneys, heart, facial features, etc. Doctor also said that her head, body, and legs are all very symmetrical and look awesome. The heart rate was 141. One super cool thing...we saw a great big blob of dark hair on her head! I said that will be wonderful, as long as it is on her head and not covering her body from head to toe! :) (As I was looking at the hair all I could think about was buying more hair bows! Yipppeee!)

So...just 4 more weeks to go. The doctor and I also talked today about induction. We decided that she could schedule the induction for the week she is due. If I have not had her by then, the room will already be scheduled for me to induce. Sounds like a great plan to me...I would love for this little girl to arrive naturally, but we can't wait forever!

The Gramps and Granna chair...

Oh man...I keep wanting to show everyone the chair that my Gramps made. He has made several (actually ours is #68), and we love it! Every little kid needs one!

Here it is sitting up as a chair...

Flip it for a rocking horse...

Flip it again for a little desk area...

Last weekend...

I am finally getting around to posting pictures of our project last weekend. Ro did not take me seriously the last few weeks when I told him I wanted to repaint the baby's room. The original room turned out awesome, but the pink was just too overwhelming for us. Anyway, Ro walked in the house last Friday and I had already moved almost everything out of the room, removed the electric outlet covers, and shelves off the wall. He said to me..."You forget everything lately, I thought you would forget about repainting." HA! Nice try. That night we went to Lowe's for primer and paint. Then we got started right away! It took us one good coat of primer and paint. Ro calls the color Desert Tan and we are much happier with the neutral color! Check it out!

Trial Run...

This past weekend was an interesting one! We had our trial run to Presby Plano's labor and delivery. It all started Friday evening when I was puking my brains out. Ro, for some reason, insisted on holding the trash can. I thought that it may have been food poisoning, but it turns out to have been some kind of virus.

Anyway, my entire body was achy and we knew something was not right. It continued throughout the night and finally Ro put his foot down (HA!) and said we needed to go to the emergency room.

When we got there, they sent us straight to labor and delivery. That was exciting! Even got to ride in the wheelchair. When we got to the room, it was slightly "chilly". The previous pregnant chick who was in our room set the temperature to "Artic" so Ro sat in the corner bundled in blankets. They immediately said I was dehydrated (High levels of ketones in the urine)and hooked me up to the monitors. Come to find out, I was also having contractions (A result of the dehydration). I got a couple of bags of fluid IV's, some nausea meds, few tubes of blood drawn, and even pee'd in a cup 3 times. The doctor came in to check me and thank goodness I was not dialated! The dialation check was not the friendliest. I swear the nurse shook the baby's hand. I was feeling better and baby was fine, so she released me to go home. The whole process was about 7 hours. Man...it was a long Mother's Day weekend, but we learned a lot!

Oh...today is 34 weeks, so SIX WEEKS TO GO! :)
