No News

I went to the doctor's for my weekly check up yesterday and there is nothing new to report. All they have continued to do each week is check the heartbeat which sounds great and measure my stomach which is measuring on target. I haven't really had any signs of labor yet so I am not anticipating anything happening before my next appointment next week but I guess there is always a chance everything could just happen at once and I could go into labor quickly. So only time will tell. I will be 38 weeks tomorrow! It's hard to believe that one way or another we will have another baby in our arms in a matter of a couple of weeks or less! The carseat made it's way into the car last night and our hospital bags are packed. So we are ready for our little girl when she decides to make her appearance. In the meantime I am just trying to get some things prepared for Josh and Raegan for when I have the baby ( laundry, clean house, food, etc). I hurt my back somehow on monday night so it made it tough to get much done this week but it feels much better today so I have been able to get more done in an easier fashion. I'll keep everyone posted! Next week I have an appointment on thursday and they will do a full exam then so maybe we'll know more at that point!

Almost "Full Term"

I will be 37 weeks this coming saturday. That is considered full term. Wow! Where did the time go? I can't believe that in a matter of weeks ( or possibly less) we will be having our second baby girl. We are very excited to meet her and for Raegan to meet her little sister! I went to the doctors today and everything is still going good. The heartbeat sounds great. I am measuring on target and the baby is in the right position. When the doctor measured me she told me that I was "all baby". I appreciate her saying that but I'm not sure I believe her! I get asked a lot how I am feeling. And my response is really that I actually still feel really good. There are some days I wake up feeling sore or really tired but generally speaking I still feel good for being as far along as I am. It has been a blessing that I haven't experienced any back pain or really any major pain given my history of back/spinal problems and surgery. I am still sleeping fairly good at night on most nights. And I think my tiredness during the day has more to do with the heat and chasing around a toddler than it does being pregnant. I am starting to take a nap during Raegan's naptime almost every day now because I am tired and figured I should start trying to get some extra sleep while I can. So overall, things are going really well. I start going to the doctor's weekly now. Josh and I went on a hospital tour last week and I got pre-registered at the hospital so we should be ready to go when the time comes. We just need to pray that when the time comes that it isn't during rush hour since our hospital is about 30 minutes away without traffic! I know everything will work out fine though and we are excited for delivery day!
