Week 36 check up

I went to the dr today for my 36 week check up. I had my Group B strep test and an ultrasound. Addison weighs 6lbs 11 ozs. The normal weight for her "age"is 5lbs 12 ozs. Her measurements indicate that I am somewhere between 35w2d +/- 22 days and 37w5d +/- 22 days. My due date is still June 20th. They won't change a due date based on the 3rd trimester measurements and ultrasound b/c they can be up to 3 weeks off. She was sucking her thumb through the ultrasound too. I am cleared to deliver as of tomorrow. They will do nothing to stop it if I go into labor. We may have a little one any time between now and the end of June!!! =D

False Alarm

Well, I was sent to Labor and Delivery today because I was having frequent contractions. They monitored me for 45 min to an hour and only saw 1 really long contraction. Since they were so far apart, they sent me home with doctors orders to rest and come in for my appointment on Thursday.

I will let everyone know how the appointment goes!

Week 36 belly pics

An almost complete nursery

So I got VERY motivated today and cleaned out all of the trash and arranged the nursery. We will be hanging blinds and curtains tomorrow after we get back from Babies R Us with more fun stuff. Here are some pictures of what we have done so far. We are getting a rocker from my parent’s house soon so I'm sure there will be more rearranging after that.

34/35 week check up

I went Monday for my 34/35 week check up. It was my last "tummy check". Starting next week he'll check me for dilation every time I go, which will be once a week. Everything looks good. He said she is measuring where she should be and we are on track for a June 20th due date still give or take a week. He said the pains I have been having in my pelvis are just my hormones helping my body get ready to deliver and moving my pelvis around. My next appointment is next Thursday afternoon at 3:15 for my ultrasound. They said after next Friday I am in the clear to deliver so if I go into labor after that they will not try to stop it. According to my weekly email updates, Addison should weigh in around 5lbs and 20 inches long.

I will post the ultrasound picture next week after my appointment!

Baby shower #2

On Saturday Missy George and her mother Maggie hosted a baby shower for me. We all had TONS of fun. My grandmother came in for the occasion as well. I will be posting pictures as soon as I get some uploaded. Grandmom and Grandpoppy got her a cute bathing suit for our trip to Florida in August, a sun dress and princess piggy, her very first piggy bank.


Great GrandMemaw made her a very soft blanket and Great grandaddy got her a frame for her foot print and a cute doll. Addison now has a closet full of clothes. I think she is getting close to having more clothes than her mommy (Daddy would disagree).
Great Great Aunt Jane got Addison a beautiful blanket and a very cute warm up suit and footed onesie. Uncle Terry and Aunt Pam gave us a wonderful baby carrier that is going to get a TON of use over the next year. Jenny Miller gave her a beautiful embroidered blanket, rattle and bear outfit for her to wear around Halloween. Missy and Maggie got a buggy bag for mommy to use when she takes Addison to the grocery store or for when they eat out so Addison doesn't have to sit in a nasty high chair. They also got her some really cute clothes. Missy's sister Jennifer gave us some bottles that are great for nursing babies and a bottle cleaner. Ben and Jessica gave her a cute onesie, rattle and some other goodies that are going to be very useful. Martha Joyce gave her a cute hooded princess towel, some wash clothes and and clothes.

We all had a wonderful time and I thank everyone who came!!

33 weeks and still counting

I'm 33 weeks today. I feel like I have doubled in size over the last few weeks and they say Addison will do most of her growing over the next 2-3 weeks, almost reaching her full weight.

I decided to be impulsive today and got my hair cut. I donated my hair to locks of love and had 10 inches cut off. Picture will be posted soon. I want Zack to see it first ;)


***UPDATE*** here is my hair the day I cut it.
