37 weeks and 2 days

Here is the picture of my full term belly!

Doctor update

I went to the doctor yesterday and everything went really well. I passed my 3hr gestational diabetes test which is awesome! I didn't gain any weight from last week thank goodness! The doctor checked and basically told me that the baby isn't going to makes it's appearance anytime soon, sorry Mom. However, I have been having more random back/stomach cramps and tightening of the stomach, or contractions if you prefer, so at least SOMETHING is happening. The baby's heart rate was at 150 bpm, so no scare there like last week. I go back next Tuesday and maybe I'll have made some progress, I'll let everyone know!

Take the Poll!

We put a poll up on the left-hand side of the blog. We want to know what everyone thinks. Is it going to be a boy or girl?!

Doctor updates and a new photo

I went to the doctor on Tuesday and needless to say it was a crazy mess. I got my 1 hour glucose test results back and the number was elevated so today I had to take the 3 hour glucose test and hopefully next week we will know for sure if I have gestational diabetes and how severe the case is. The baby's heart rate was also elevated yesterday and I had to do an NST, or stress test, for 15 min to make sure the babies heart rate came down. It did the second I got on the monitor and stayed around 160 bpm the whole time, so that was good. We got an ultrasound finally! The baby is weighing around 6.7 pounds, give or take a pound, which is about a week ahead. The doctor said that is good and that the baby won't be huge! Thank you, I broke my Mom's huge baby curse! However, when he measured the head it's measuring 9 cm, which is considered full term. I would definitely say that is my gigantic head, and I need to give a shout out to my Dad for giving me that head! I'm going to the doctor again on Tuesday and will let you know how that goes!

The new baby proof coffee table!

So we decided that having a giant piece of glass with sharp edges was not quite the ideal coffee table for a child to be around so we got a new one made of solid wood and rounded edges!

Almost Done

Here are some pictures of the baby's room. We finally finished everything. All we are missing now is the rocking chair and the foot stool. 

Christmas is here!

I'm so excited we got our Christmas decorations put up! It's a small display, but I think it's really cute. We got stockings for Chris, myself, and the dogs. Susan got us the tree, lights, and the ornaments are from Chris' Mom's family and they were made in 1967. They are really beautiful. We've got most of our presents wrapped already just a few more to do and then we will be done! I just need a little self-control to make it to Christmas day without opening them!

Thanksgiving....Oklahoma Style

I got to go home for Thanksgiving and it was wonderful! Nice cold weather and excellent food. I'm happy I got to see my family since I don't get to go home that often. I miss everyone and hopefully I'll see everyone soon.....with a new addition of course!

Dallas Baby Shower

Here are some pictures from the Dallas baby shower. Thank you Allison, Kayla and Vy for the wonderful shower. I really had a lot of fun and was really happy everyone came!

Houston Baby Shower

Finally I have pics up from the Houston shower! We were so happy everyone came and celebrated with us. We are especially grateful to Susan, Julie and Michael for giving us the wonderful shower. We really enjoyed ourselves and hope everyone else did as well!

We just wanted to thank everyone so much for both of the baby showers! They were wonderful and we appreciated them so much! I'll post pictures soon.
