36 Week Dr Visit

I had my 36 week check up yesterday (Monday, March 24) and everything was good. First of all, I gained a whopping 8 pounds in the last month! Not what I was expecting, but I guess I was making up for previous months when I lost a couple of pounds. That makes my total weight gain 17 pounds. My blood pressure was good and I have no swelling so the Dr said I was perfect. The baby's heart rate was about 145 and she is head down, getting ready to be born. I don't have another appointment for 2 weeks and at that point they will check to see if I am dilating at all. That's about it...it was a very short appointment. I have been more and more uncomfortable these days, getting up and down out of the couch is hard work and dealing with Lane is too! :) Sunday morning before I got out of bed I had some mild cramping and I was a little worried, but it subsided and I was fine the rest of the day. I guess that's it for now...I will write more in two weeks if not sooner. Stay tuned..............

Easter 2008

Here are a few pictures from our Easter. Lane had lots of fun searching for eggs with the kids from the neighborhood. The weather was gorgeous and we had a GREAT day!

Been a LONG time....

Okay, so its been a really long time since I did this, but we are coming down to the wire, I figured I better get on here and write an update. First off, I am 36 weeks pregnant today and I have about 28 days left before our little Chloe makes her grand entrance. I have my next Dr appt on Monday so it will be interesting to see what they have to say. From this point I will go back every week until she is born.

Lane had a Big Brother class last night up at the hospital. It was really cute. The kids all colored pictures for their new babies. They read a story about when baby comes home. They took turns diapering and holding the baby. Then to wrap up, they got to tour the Labor and Delivery Dept so they would know where mommy would be. I think Lane had a really good time!

We have been working hard getting Chloe's room all ready for her and I am proud to say that it finally feels like it is done. There are still things I would like to do in there, but for the most part it's done. If she were to come tonight, her room is ready.

I'm going to end this update with a new slide show of her room and a belly shot that was taken today. And don't forget to scroll down to the last blog entry, I have added pictures to that slide show, too! Enjoy and I'll write again soon.
