34 Week Check-Up

Yesterday was our 34 week check-up and everything went great!

When I arrived they said "it will be a 45 minute wait, she is delivering a baby"...I thought to myself, only 45 minutes? Since I work at a doctor's office, this was no problem to me! I grabbed a couple magazines and set in the exam room with my feet propped up...and started thinking....I thought that it took longer than 45 minutes to have a baby?? When my sister was in labor with Mason I remember that she had some great nurses and they didn't call the doctor til' he was about to be born. If I remember right, the nurses do the hard work during deliverys. This made me appreciate my job more, and hopefully it will make me remember to not be 'bitchy' to anyone during delivery time because they are just there to help you.

Not long after I had read 2 magazines she pops in the door. I measured at 34 1/2 weeks and she said the heartbeat sounded great. She also said that at my next appointment they would do the Group B Strep Test and start checking my cervix...i never thought I would be excited to hear the words "checking my cervix," but it is a symbol that i'm nearing the end!! My next appointment is in 2 weeks, then I only have 3 more appointments!! One every week...so in all reality, i'm about done, and shortly we will all be able to meet this little guy! Anyways i hope hes not 8 lbs or over!

I also recently purchased Carter some UGG boots and thought you all might like to see a photo. My sister said I was crazy, and I told her I was...but I just fell in love with them!!

The other baby in our lives....

I've been watching Snip react to the different things we bring into the nursery. She likes to smell everything and make sure it's ok for the room. She has been our one and only baby for the last 5 years and i'm anxious to see how she will like Carter.

The first children that she was around was Shaye and Logen. She did really good around them licking them and playing with them. Lately after watching her with Mason, i'm happy to say I don't think we have anything to worrry about! She is very good with him, and she probably likes him a little to much!

I think she has an idea that something is about to turn her world upside down. She likes to lay in Carter's room by the crib and sleep. She will still be one of our babies, but she probably won't be getting as much attention. I'm hoping she is protective over him like she is with me.

Only 6 weeks left to go! HOORAY!! We have a check up Tuesday, so I will post more after that!

The Countdown has Begun!

I'm not sure how well I will be at this blogging business, but I figured it was a good way to keep everyone updated on our progress and to post pictures when Carter arrives. I know that most of us have Facebook and keep in touch that way, there are some people that don't have it..hint, hint..

I have noticed in the last couple of days my back is throbbing already..i keep thinking to myself, how am I going to make it 6 more weeks? I have been counting down for a while now, and as the time gets closer it seems farther away. It seems as if I can't get enough sleep. When i'm sleeping real well my bladder thinks it must be emptied now! It's a good thing that Chuck sleeps like a rock or we might be sleeping in separate beds.

I have also noticed that I have really started to grow in the last couple of weeks. My doctor told me at our last appointment that if I keep growing like this he should be around 7 1/2 lbs. Lets sure hope she is right because Chuck was almost 9 lbs. I had a great baby shower last week and got tons of things! I am pretty sure we are already as ready as can be....everyone knows how big of a planner I am. I couldn't wait to get everything set up.

Well, Chuck is working nights so i'm going to go to bed early tonight. I will try to keep this thing updated!! Hope everyone is well and enjoying the little summer that is left!
