Appointment - 36 weeks 2 days


BP: 140/76
Weight: 238 (-2)

All was well at the short appointment! No Group B strep test today like I thought, and no internal check. So, just the usual. Weight, urine, BP, listen to the hearbeat, measure, and out the door!

Emma and Lara got to come to the appointment with us. They were more interested in weighing themsleves and playing with the stickers the nurse gave them than anything else, but they did pause long enough to hear their brother's heartbeat! It was fun to be able to take them with us!

We go back next Monday!

Appointment – 35 weeks 2 days

BP: 126/56
Weight: 240 (+4)

Another short and sweet visit to the OB! Nothing exciting happening, so I just need to keep cooking this baby! Got to hear his FABULOUS heartbeat. Urine is fine, BP is good, weight gain is good!

He just said to keep an eye on things (since I lost part of my mucous plug last week) and that he will see me every week now. I am pretty uncomfortable, but you SEE how big (and low) this baby is, so it’s to be expected, I guess! LOL!

3 weeks and 2 days to go!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome to 2007!

Jacob Alan will be joining us this year – this MONTH even! We can’t believe it is already here!

Today, my parents are here helping us finish the nursery. Emma and Lara (after spending almost 24 hours stranded in Denver) are in Montana with their father, so we have “help free” time. I think my parents thought they would be here for a few hours – home in time for lunch. Well, they have been here since about 9:45, and it is now 3:00. Mom and I made a Wal-Mart run for baby supplies, batteries, and medicine and brought back burgers for lunch. The men finished the floor while we were gone (YAY!!!!!!!!), and were contemplating the crown molding when we got here with food. After we ate, us girls started MORE laundry, and the guys stared the molding. But then ran into some complications. Basically, they are at Lowe’s now – seeking help! LOL!

But, by tonight, the floor and molding WILL be done. Britt hopes to seal the changing table and dresser tonight, so we can move those pieces of furniture, plus the glider rocker, in tomorrow morning. The dresser drawers are done, so my mom and I have filled them (and the closet) with the laundry we have been doing. I am 99% sure I have washed everything I will need for the first few weeks. I think she wants me to pack my bag for the hospital (and Jake’s), but I am just not ready for that yet! I still have 3+ weeks!

The room is AWESOME! I can’t wait to get some more things in there so I can snap some pictures. We were all just standing there visualizing it and LOVING it a little while ago! Won’t be long now!
