38 Week (well, almost) Update

I finally had another doctor’s appointment today….with my last one being between 31-32 weeks. Everything seems to be going well. The baby’s heart rate was good, my blood pressure was fine, and I am steadily gaining weight (don’t know how good that is! =) ) It was a quick visit, and I didn’t get to much info – although the doc measured me, she didn’t tell me what the measurement was. I also had my GBS test – fun times. She checked to see how things were progressing…which they aren’t. I’m only at 1 cm with a lot of thickness. ‘Sigh’ – looks like it’ll be awhile. The doc said I have a ways to go – and also insinuated it was good that I have the next two weeks of appointments already made…looks like I’ll be needing them. I thought I would be really disappointed if they told me I had awhile yet to go – but I’m actually doing ok. There are times where I’m so miserable and sick (gotta love it when morning sickness reappears in your third trimester – Praise God for Zofran!) and I feel like 2-3 weeks is an eternity. God is good and faithful though – and I’m just leaning on His strength and asking for His patience to get me through. I know Baby Bee will come when he’s supposed too.

I made up a little calendar of everyone’s guesses for Baby Bee’s arrival date and weight. There is still time to guess if you haven’t done so already (check out Sunday Dec. 19th blog called Poll and Update if you want more details on the little contest.) It’s been so much fun to see what everyone thinks! =)

Though we’ve seemed to stay busy, there’s really nothing exciting to write about. I’ll post a few pictures though. Hope all is going well for you all!


Happy New Year!


Luke has started insisting on wearing his Elmo gloves and hat around the house. I promise we have heat here! =)

I got some great scrapbooking items for Christmas, so I set up this little scrapbooking table in our living room. It was so nice and relaxing to sit down and do some scrapbooking. I'm pretty rusty as it's been a year since I've done any, but it was extremely enjoyable. I can't wait to do my next page!


Close up of the pages I did the other night....

Here I am at 38 weeks (well, technically 37 weeks and 6 days - but hey - what's a day!) I'll do a blog where I show my progression - since I've managed to gain close to 50 pounds, it should be fun to see how much I've grown over these 9 months. =) I'll try to get that blog up sometime this week.

I hope you all had a wonderful New Year's Day!
