Getting Closer

Well, i was at the doctor today and he said things were looking good. The heartbeat was still in the 150's which is good. He said i've dropped and that i'm dialated to 2cm and 50% effaced...which means that things are starting. He gave me a guess that the baby is about 7 pounds right now which is an average size so that's good. He also told me to make an appointment for next week but he said he'd be shocked if he didn't see me till then...If it runs in the family at all, this baby could come pretty darn soon. Mom said she was in for a checkup before i came and she was 3cm and i came within 24 hours!


Needless to say i'm a little excited. Chris on the other hand...not so much. I told him when i got home that we needed to talk and he just got white! It was pretty funny. I think he's more worried now than he's been ever! I told him the doctor said everything is fine but he still feels the need to check in with me every 10 minutes while he's out in the backyard working...He pretty much told me that i should stay inside, sit on the couch and relax...way easier for me to do than for him to believe me when i say i will!


Anyways- I'll let you know what happens!

Latest Baby Info


Well, i was back to the doctor on Thursday for a check up. He said everything is going very well. The head is down and the heart rate was back up to the 150's (up from the 130's two weeks ago). The nurse gave me some some pointers for getting ready to go to the hospital and that got me very excited.

Last week when Chris was home we were trying to make a plan so if the baby decides to come when he's at work and we didn't get very far. I asked the doctor about the plans he thought we should be making with Chris being so far away and he said if i make it 3 more weeks (putting me to 39 weeks total) Chris will be home and he'll induce me so the baby can come when Chris is already here and i don't have to worry about him driving home alone from Iowa. So, hopefully things will go well and the baby will come when everyone is home.

On Friday they had the city wide rummage sale in Barnesville so mom and i decided to take in all the festivities. We came out pretty good. We found lots of toys, Halloween costumes and Noah's Ark things for the nursery. Things are really starting to come together in the nursery! I think we're to the point that all we need is the baby!!!





I head back to the doctor next week. I'll let you know what the doctor says!!!
