2.5 weeks to go

Waited until today to update because my dr appointment was in the afternoon this time.  My BP was a little high when I got there but I had rushed to get to my appointment on time, they took it again 5 min later and it dropped drastically.  Baby is still measuring fine and the Dr. seems to think she is already 7lbs, our little chunker.  Her heartbeat was a little higher then normal but she was a lot more active at the afternoon appointment then she is at the morning ones.  I'm not having any contractions or anything so she seems to think I'll go around my due date, we'll see.  My next appointment is Thursday morning and then I made the following one for the 7th.  Hopefully I make it to my due date and my mom will already be down here, they keep looking at me like I"m crazy when I say she isn't already down here.  I can't believe this journey is almost over and I'm going to meet our little princess soon.

Everything else is good, the dogs and I are just settling into a routine without Corey.  Seems silly since we'll have to re settle when baby comes.  I worry about them with things constantly changing but I'll keep giving them love and they should be fine.  I have been nesting like crazy and have a huge list I want to tackle this weekend and lots of napping! I heard from Corey Wednesday early morning which was amazing.  I haven't heard from him since they arrived however I know they arrived safely and are busy in processing and getting gear issued.  I will keep everyone updated on how he is doing as well.

3 weeks to go...

In my 38th week, hopefully only 3 more to go.  Had my Dr.'s appointment today, which she was 30 minutes late..again.  Needless to say I scheduled my next two appointments with a new dr.  This dr was kind of surprised I wasn't having contractions yet, I guess she wants my cervix to start getting ready, I truly believe it'll start getting ready when it wants.  We'll see what the new dr says next wednesday at my appointment.  I didn't let her do a cervix check, but I probably will next week.  Just didn't think it necessary with 3 weeks left and I'm not contracting yet.  But I did make my next two appointments the 24th and November 1st.  Now that appoints are weekly it's really getting  close.

Tomorrow and Friday I will be spending with Corey helping him get everything ready for his deployment.  He will leave Friday evening.  Saturday I'll be spending the day with a friend and her two little boys, her husband is leaving with Corey.  Then I will start my to do list in the baby's room and around the house to keep my busy until I pop!

One month left!

Everything besides baby lungs are finished developing. She grows about an ounce a day. I can't believe how close we are to the end.

Corey is in training this week and will be home Friday after that we will have about ten days left before he leaves for his deployment. Lots to get done around the house before he leaves and just a few more things needed for baby. I hope the weeks between him leaving and baby arriving go nice and fast. Once I bring baby home time will fly. Especially having my mom down for a few weeks and going up there for a few weeks.

5 weeks left

I'll post a picture later this week when I'm not in a dress!! Nothing crazy going on this week with baby.  Today is Corey's birthday so we are celebrating that.  His family came down last weekend and took us to dinner for his birthday and they let him open birthday and Christmas presents since he won't be here for Christmas.  Other then that things are just moving super fast, we are getting ready for Corey to leave Sunday and then he will be back Thursday, however we are not sure for how long.  All we know is he will be gone by the 22nd.  I have a huge to do list to tackle once he leaves, so hopefully I can keep busy in those last few weeks.

Clover thinks the glider is her new bed so we will have to look into getting her a bed so when I need the glider she doesn't get grumpy.

Hopefully next Sunday we can meet my mom in Richmond for dinner as long as we know when Corey will be leaving.  Its coming up super fast so now all we can do is be prepared.  I took off Friday to spend with him since I don't know how many day's he'll be home for and then I'm off Monday for the holiday.  Still have 2 weeks until my next appt.

Hope everyone is doing well!
