13 days and counting....

Holy Moly!!

It has been TOO long since I blogged.. I need to do better.. Hopefully once our little man gets here I will have more to blog about. 

 I am 38 weeks. I still can't believe it! Today Josh came home and said "Babe, I have some Good news!!" 

Me: "What is it?!?"

Josh: "Our baby is coming in 2 weeks!!!"

Yes I do agree, that is some WONDERFUL news! :) It makes me so happy to think that in 2 weeks...or less I could be holding my sweet baby boy in my arms. I have all sorts of emotions right now. 

Anxious

Nervous

EXCITED

Happy

Terrified

Unsure

Blessed

and many more that I can't even think of. :)

Life has been hectic lately.

Lots of cleaning, organizing and planning. I never realized just how much stuff a baby needs. I feel SO blessed to have received almost everything I needed from friends and family at my baby showers. Heavenly Father has blessed Josh and I with some of the most wonderful friends/family. 

We finally finished the nursery. There are just a few last finishing touches I need to put up. As soon as I do I will post some pictures. 

Every time I walk into the nursery I get butterflies. I picture our baby boy in his crib and I start to tear up. I feel so blessed that Heavenly Father is blessing us with one of his children. 

Well I better update ya on the baby...

I have been having weekly appointments for about a month now. 2 weeks ago my belly was measuring 32 cm...which is pretty small for being 36 weeks. So then Dr. B told me to go get an Ultra sound and a Nonstress test to make sure that the baby is doin good. They wanted to check and make sure I don't have IUGR- Intrauterine Growth Restriction: The most common definition of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a fetal weight that is below the 10th percentile for gestational age as determined through an ultrasound. This can also be called small-for gestational age (SGA) or fetal growth restriction.

At the ultra sound I found out  that our  baby boy is in the 6th Percentile. He is a little baby. I'm not surprised tho. I was only 4 pounds 7 oz when I was born and Josh was only 5 pounds 5 oz.  

While I was in getting the ultra sound, the Tech says "Oh good, it's still a GIRL" 

I had to think twice about what he said. I of course replied with a big "WHAT?!" I started freakin out for a minute. Not that I wouldn't want a baby girl, I just have SO much boy stuff that I think she would have to dress like a boy for the first few weeks.

He was kidding...

I am still carrying a sweet baby BOY :)

At my appointment on Wednesday I was still measuring only 32 cm. Dr. B is starting to get a little worried so he is having me get another ultra sound this coming monday. If the amniotic fluid is low or something doesn't look right Dr. B said we will deliver him ASAP. I pray everything is okay with our little man.

I know there are some things I am going to miss about being pregnant but I think the thing I'll miss the most is feeling him move around and kick throughout the day/night. It is the most amazing feeling and I can't even explain how much joy it brings me when I feel that movement. 

These past few weeks his movements have gotten bigger and stronger. I could sit for hours and watch him move. It amazes me..

A couple weeks ago I went to visit my mom at work (she is an OB nurse). At this point I was 35 weeks. They had just delivered a baby who was only 35 weeks. I sat and stared at that tiny baby for a while, realizing that my baby is about the same size and IN my stomach. It is pretty crazy to see it like that. I now understand why I am seeing and feeling every single movement.

Life is a Miracle.
