Baby Pool!

Here is a pool where you guys can all enter your guesses for when the baby will make an entrance!! You get points based on how much information you get correct (ie: date, time, weight, length, etc). Hope you decide to play!! Click on this link:

37 weeks

My 37 week appointment was pretty uneventful. Everything looks good and progress is still the same! My doctor is on vacation this week, so I saw a different one. I guess it is good to meet the other doctors who might be on call when I deliver. Just hanging in there for these last few weeks! People are starting to take bets on when the baby will come. I guess Uncle Scott is starting a pool if anyone is interested in joining! He wants to charge a $5 fee though, with the winner taking the pot! 

Rachie's wedding this past weekend was beautiful! Just how she wanted it, I think! It was so much fun to be a part of their big day. I was SOOOO tired on Sunday & Monday though! I posted some pictures from the wedding on our photo site if you are interested. Here is one of Rachie & Tara showing off my belly!! 



Matt and I took a Newborn Care class on Sunday, which was a good refresher on how to care for an infant. Matt learned a lot about swaddling, and now claims to be the best swaddler out of the two of us! I admit he is good at it!! ;-) We also learned about g-diapers, a cross between disposable and cloth. Might be something to look into in the future! Anyways, it was good information, and I think we both feel more prepared. The nursery is pretty much finished, the clothes and blankets are washed, the car seat bases are installed and the bags are being packed! Just a waiting game for the next few weeks!!

36 Weeks!!

I am officially 9 months pregnant!! Only 4 or so weeks left to go! I had my first weekly appointment today and things still look great. My doctor said that based on my progress, she doesn't think that the baby will be late! She also said that we wouldn't try to stop labor if it started at this point. She thinks the baby is big enough and I am far enough along to deliver a healthy baby. It is good to know that things are progressing, but it is crazy to think that the baby could come at anytime! The room is getting close to being finished, but there are definitely more things I want to get done before the baby comes. I was planning on getting the carpets in the house cleaned and other organizational things like that! I still need to pack the hospital bags and get the car seat installed in the car! I guess after the news today those sounds like a project for this weekend! Here is a belly picture from today for those of you who are interested. Sorry I have been so bad about taking them!!



Last weekend Matt and I attended our Childbirth Prep classes. I think we learned a lot! It was good to get an overview of our options and the decisions we have to make when the time comes. I don't think anyone can be completely prepared, but at least we kind of know what to expect. This weekend is my best friend Rachael's wedding (I'm the Matron of Honor!) and on Sunday we have a class on Newborn care. So it will be a busy weekend! We are really looking forward to the wedding and seeing lots of old friends. The baby needs to stay put at least until Monday and then it can come whenever it wants!! ;-)  Have a great weekend!!
