Kennedy, Grandma's Here...You Can Come Anytime Now!

I was hoping that Kennedy was just waiting for my mom to get here before she decided to make her appearance. Well, she got here yesterday afternoon and we haven't made a trip to the hospital yet. Still "patiently" waiting, hoping that I don't make it to Thursday!

Tuesday's Dr. Appointment

Still waiting for Kennedy's arrival. Hopefully it will happen within the next week. No big news on progress with this week's appointment. He isn't going to let me go past next Thursday though. I'm hoping she will decide to come on her own before that. We will see what she has planned for us in the next week. Mom is coming on Sunday so hopefully she will get to spend most of her time with Kennedy and not just me during the day :) Danny's mom and stepdad will be here for a few days in the middle of October. She will be spoiled during both visits I'm sure.

39 Weeks

So far Kennedy is content where she is. I have had a few contractions here and there, but nothing major or with any kind of consistency. We will see what the doctor says tomorrow.

Here are a few pictures we took yesterday (39 weeks 1 day).




Danny thought it would be funny to add a prop to one of them.



Hopefully our next post will be about Kennedy's arrival. I'm trying not to get my hopes up though.

38 Week Appointment

I just got home from my 38 week appointment. Here is how it went...

My blood pressure was a little high but he didn't seem real worried because I wasn't swelling and didn't have a large weight gain.

I'm up to 2 1/2 cm dilated, so I made some progress from last week. Yeh!

When he was checking my belly he said "That's a big baby". I asked him how big and he said "big." He took us to the sonogram room to see just how big she actually was. I told Danny if he says close to 10 pounds I'm going to cry. Lucky for me he measured her between 8 lbs 2 oz and 8 lbs 5 oz. With only a week left that isn't too bad.

I have an appointment next Tuesday and he said that if she hasn't arrived at that point then we may talk about some options depending on how big she is next week. I'm not thinking he will let me go more than a day or two past my due date. I'm hoping it doesn't come to that. Anytime after this Friday would be great with me.

Until next week (or maybe sooner).....

Better late than never, right?

Here are some pictures that were taken when I was 35 weeks. That was 2 1/2 weeks ago. Maybe I'll get Danny to take an almost 38 week picture tonight.

37 Week Appointment

I had my 37 week appointment today. I'm 1 to 1 1/2 cm dialated at this point and go back next Tuesday. He said things could change between now and then, but he doesn't forsee me going into labor before next week's appointment. We will see where I am then. He said that I would most likely deliver pretty close to my due date though and to not get my hopes up of delivering early.

The bags are packed and I made a trip to Target yesterday (perfect timing for them to have a baby sale) and got a swing, a diaper genie, more diapers and wipes and some other odds and ends. We are ready if she does decide to make her appearance sooner than later.

Until next week....

Good Bye Summer

If only that were true about the summer weather too...we have been right around 100 for quite awhile down here! Most of my friends as well as Danny are gearing back up for another school year. It is weird to think that I won't be welcoming kids to my classroom in 2 weeks. Instead we will be welcoming our little bundle of joy home in about 7 weeks. It is crazy to think how fast the time as flown by since we found out we were expecting on January 13th. As Danny says I have my nesting moments. Nothing too major yet, but I'm sure that will change. Still working on getting her room like I want it. We have the furniture, but still need some book shelves or something like that. I did order the car seat/stroller a few weeks ago so at least we can bring her home from the hospital :) My friends, Polly and Shelly, are throwing me a shower on the 22nd, so I'm sure we will be making a trip to Babies R Us and Target after that to get stuff that we still need. I guess that is all for now. Hadn't posted in awhile so I wanted to get something on here. Until next time...
