Baby Shower & 38 Week Update

We had our baby shower last week.  It was so much fun, and everyone had a blast.  We got a lot of things off our registry and a few things we didn't even think about. Below are just a few pictures of the event.  I wish I could post all of them, but there were too many, but you can see the full album on my Facebook page.

At 38 weeks pregnant this week, we are both ready to meet our little guy.  Weds we have our 39 week appt and we will find out if I'm dilated any, and if theywill induce me by my due date.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed.  Mom is coming to visit April 1st, so it would be nice for him to be here by then so she can spend some time with her grandson, and she's really looking forward to helping (her grandma time)  Below is a picture of me at 38 weeks.  Its the first time actually showing off the belly & probably the last haha, as you can see it is growing nicely!

37 Week Update

Today we had our 37 week update, even though I'm 36 weeks & 4 days, but its close enough.  We got to have a sonogram just to see how Noah is doing and to get an estimation of how much he weighs right now.  At the moment they estimate him at 6.9lbs.  This visit was a little confusing to us because the sonogram technician and the doc (the one we got rotated in to see, not the one we want to deliver) were saying two different things on some of the information.  The sonogram technician told us that Noah is measuring just over a week ahead of schedule with the belly being the biggest part of him, whereas the doctor says I'm measuring right on time, so Noah is on time, and that his head is the biggest part of him....So yes a little confused, but all-in-all Noah is doing great, and looks healthy with all organs looking & functioning like they should.

Next week we have our 38 week appointment with the Doctor we hope will deliver him.  He's a very popular doctor & therefore very busy, and very hard to get a hold of.  We are hoping to find out if he can induce me either a week early or a couple of days early so that he can be the one to deliver Noah.  Keeping our fingers crossed. 

Other than that, I'm still stretching.  I didn't think I could stretch as much as I have, but apparently I was wrong haha.  I'm getting to the point where I'm getting very uncomfortable.  I look forward to warm days because that means flip-flops instead of wrestling for 5mins trying to get my shoes on (school days are the worst!)  Sleeping is becoming impossible;  I'm waking up more and staying awake longer, but I'm managing.

This weekend is our baby shower!  I'll be sure to post pictures up for everyone to see, until then have a good one!
