37 weeks






Hey all,

Well, yesterday was a somewhat uneventful Dr. appt. I was annoyed because we had to wait almost 45 minutes past our appt to get in. Noah and Brian were with me and while Noah was acting fine, I knew he was sooooo ready for a nap. So needless to say, I was less than cordial with the sono technician and Dr. I know, shame on me. I'm sure anxiousness played a part in this.


Anyway, the baby looks good. He's measuring about 7'9 right now. Everyone (including me) felt like that was an extremely accurate estimate. Dr. Walters won't schedule anything till 38.5 weeks so May 14th would be the earliest I could have a c-section. Obviously I could go into labor on my own any ole day now which would be fine with me. So we wait...............

Oh she did "check" me and I'm at a 1 and cervix is soft (sorry for detail). So things look good, but all we can do is wait. My next appt is Monday so we can see if anything has changed by then, but that is only 5 days away so............


God knows best because I have a load of stuff to do at work and the baby coming anytime before end of next week would not be good from a work-stand point. But I feel selfish most of the time and just want him here. So pray for me! I know the Lord's timing is perfect so I shouldn't be consumed, but all you pregnant ladies know that once you get it in your head that you are going to have a baby early, it is VERY hard to come out of it.


I've posted some pictures of the baby's nursery for your viewing pleasure. Hope to have some more details to post soon! Thank you for all of your concern and prayers. We appreciate it!

April,

The nursery turned out wonderful. No matter when this sweet boy comes, work will work itself out...it always does so don't fret. By the way, Noah is an absolute doll! I'm sure he'll be a big "help" when the baby comes.
We enjoyed our visit in Austin...wonder what next year holds for us.
I'll be praying for you that all will go smoothly. Can't wait for the big news!:)

The nursery looks awesome. I definitely understand your anxiousness. EVERYBODY thought that Caleb would be early and the doctors started predicting he could come at any time when I was only 35 weeks! This made the last few weeks completely unbearable (especially since he was late!) because I was convinced I wouldn't go full term. All this to say...I feel your pain. We're definitely praying that everything goes smoothly and that you have patience and enjoy every minute of these last few weeks as a one-child family.
