39 Weeks and counting!!!

I just had my 39 week appt. and all is still well...after a little anxiety! I went in for what I thought was going to be a 10 minute quickie exam turned into be being there for an hour and a half. Apparently, my blood pressure a little high and they wanted to rule out any complications. He, the doctor, said he was going to do a routine exam and actually did a sweeping of the membranes and checked for dilation. WOW!!! Not what I expected and not something I would ever want done again!

After that they monitored the baby's heart rate for 20 minutes, they drew some blood, and did an ultrasound to check the fluids inutero. All of the tests came back great! The doctor told me to go home and have sex with my husband! That was the only advice...I bet Nolan will thank him later!

So, I'm now back home with my feet up, thinking my mom is wonderful for helping me put the final touches on my nesting projects. I'm also waiting for my adorable husband to get home from work!!! Oh...yeah!!!

38 Weeks...Tick Tock!

So, I apologize for the delay...it sure has been awhile since my last update. I was busy working, and I loved my job, but it took a lot out of me and I wasn't up for much, just wanted to sleep! My 3rd trimester was more exhausting than my 1st! Now that I'm not working I figured it was time for an update...all the nagging helped get me motivated!
I just had my 38 week check up and all is going perfect! The doctors had me stop working earlier than expected (by 3 days) and I think it was a blessing in disguise. Since then my blood pressure is back down and the swelling or edema is much better (although my feet still look like small boats and I have temporary loss of my ankles!) I feel great and I still love being pregnant. My little Madison isn't a kicker...she does daily yoga! She's really fun and just stretches away so it doesn't hurt, it's sorta soothing. I just sit and watch my belly move and laugh. I'm going to miss being pregnant!!!
Last week at the doctor's office Nolan realized that I am full term and our little girl could come any day...he turned pale white and had to sit down! He's been so sweet and he's been taking good care of us...even been feeling some sympathy pains!!! He's been singing to her and he picked out the most beautiful song...I cry every time he sings it to my belly. I just keep imagining him holding her in his arms singing to her (smile and tear)! Lyrics are posted on the side...
The next update will be very soon and I promise pictures of her room and our crazy nesting project we've been up to!!!
