37 Weeks

Hey All!

We made it to 37 weeks! Yay!! Baby is considered full term now and can come anyday.....And I am all done with school!!!!

We are now going to the doctor every week and things are progressing great. At our 35 week check up the baby had already dropped so we were scheduled an ultrasound for our next visit to check the baby's size. For our 36 week appointment the ultrasound went well...She said we've got a big baby with some big feet and toes (Thanks Nate :)), but everything looked great. The ultrasound was quite different this time because we could only see bits and pieces of him/her because he/she was so big :) His chubby little face was all squished near my pelvis! Our last appointment was yesterday, our 37 week checkup and the doctor was very pleased at how things were looking. He checked me and said I was already dialated at 1-2cm, 50% effaced (how thin the cervix is), and the baby was in -1 Station (in respect to my pelvis)....He said this baby was a great candidate to come early, and if not he suggested at 39 weeks having another ultrasound to see if the baby was still big and inducing. We're hoping it doesn't have to be induced and will come all on it's own within the next few weeks. But the 26th doesn't sound like a bad day to have the little one so he/she can share his/her birthday with it's Daddy and Grandpa!

Nate is still thinking girl, and I'm thinking boy....one of us has to be right! Hahaha...we are set on the boys name, Carter James and for the girl we are debating between Addison (Addie) and Morgan. Any input is appreciated :)

We are almost all moved into our new place....everything is here just not set up like we would like it. Nate's afternoon projects consist of finishing up the painting and putting the crib together. After that it should be smooth sailing. We are thinking our trip up to Michigan is going to be the 3rd week of July depending on how Mommy and Baby are doing :) It's a hot one down here today, in the mid 90's, so Nate and I have been staying inside relaxing...hopefully tonight we can get a walk in. We hope you all have a great weekend and can't wait to share some exciting news soon :)
