Baby Update

Well, I went in for my checkup yesterday and everything is still looking good going along smoothly. They measured my belly and its measuring 2-3 weeks larger than I should be, which the dtr said that she could have been sticking her little butt up and causing the measurement to be larger so they really didn't want to confirm anything as of yet. So, they want to do an u/s in two weeks so they can get a look at this girl and see if they can tell how big she is getting. I have a feeling she is going to be just as big as her brother(9 pounder), but we'll see. They will also talk to me at that visit about whether I want to consider another c-section if it looks like she's going to be large. I just can't make up my mind, I really don't want to have another c-section, but I also don't know if I want to push out a huge baby or not! ha! or worse, labor for 12+ hours and then have to have a c-section anyways. I'm just not sure what to think or do. I think Chris wants me to have a c-section b/c he worries about seeing me in labor, he hasn't said so, but keeps asking me if I would consider another c-section. There are pros and cons with both, I guess I will just wait until the next visit to really start thinking about it. They did tell me they don't want me going past my due date and they don't want to induce me b/c of my prior c/s, so I either go into labor myself or they plan a c-section if I'm getting close to my due date.

On another note, I am still feeling good, just big! I have had some braxton hicks contractions off and on(that tightening feeling) At least, I guess that is what it is. It doesn't hurt it just feels strange. So, that's all for now. I will write again soon....

Pictures of Nursery

Hi everyone! I am almost 34 weeks and counting! I had a wonderful baby shower this weekend, lots of family members came and we had great food and a yummy cake and I got lots of wonderful gifts from everyone. It was so surreal having another baby shower, I still don't think its fully going to hit me until we are in the hospital staring at our little girl. I recently took some pics of Emma's nursery, its not completely finished, but I thought I would share what it looks like as of right now. I still want to hang some other things on the walls, like letters of her name above her bed and some shelves or a cute picture above the changing table, but I know I have time for that. Here are some pictures of the nursery:





Here is a closeup of the curtains that my mom added ribbons to, doesn't it look so cute!






I also got to spend some time with my cousin Julie and her little girl Matti who is 8 weeks old and who will probably be Emma's "partner in crime" in the future. Ha! Here is a picture of her from Sunday.

Happy Valentine's Day

Well, I'm 33 weeks exactly today and still feeling good! Emma is still really moving around so much and seems to be rolling more than kicking. I'm not sure what she's up to in there, but she is going to be a wild one I think. I have my shower for her this weekend and I'm so excited, its going to be strange getting girly stuff! Its so exciting, but so surreal too! I'm still having a hard time grasping that she will be here soon. I have been having trouble sleeping lately, but last night I actually sleep pretty good. The only thing I don't like is the crazy dreams you have when you are pregnant, what is up with that?!

I will have to take some pictures of Emma's nursery when I get a few more things done to it. It is looking so cute and PINK! I can't wait to see her in her room and dress her in her cute little outfits! :) All for now!

32 weeks

I am getting closer to my due date and started to get more and more nervous. I think its because I have a 21 month old (my sweet Aidan) I'm so not sure how things are going to be when Emma arrives. Don't get me wrong I'm soooo excited about her arrival I just hope I can handle it all. I have had a great pregnancy so far, the only thing I have had to deal with is major heartburn which I dealt with my first pregnancy too, nothing a Zantac or Tums can't handle. I have recently started feeling the weight of her and losing my breath so much easier than before. She really moves around a lot which I enjoy because it reassures me that everything is running along smoothly. I'm still hoping to have a VBAC, but I realize that anything can happen in the end. It's hard to believe I only have 6-8 weeks left. It still seems so surreal that she will be here soon. I can't wait to see what she looks like, I'm so curious to find out if she is going to look like her brother! I don't have to wait too much longer! :)
