37w5d

My weekly appointment went great today. No weight gain from last week, so this keeps my total at 31 pounds. BP was up a little for me, I am usually on the low side, but not high or anything unusual. His heartbeat sounded perfect and I'm measuring right on track still. I didn't get checked for dilation, but I will for sure at my next appointment next Wednesday. We finished our hospital bag this weekend and got our car seat strapped in and ready to go. We did our belly cast also and it was a lot more difficult than I had anticipated. I got really hot and nauseous after the first layer so hopefully it turns out good still since we were rushing after that. All I can think about these days is labor and when will it happen. I feel like I won't know it's happening, but everyone has been assuring me that I will know when it's "time." we have a couple of more decorations to work on for Caden's room but other than that it's just a waiting game. We are ready whenever he is!! Only 16 days until due date and 10 more days of work!! Yippee!! Belly cast picture to come!!

36w5d Appointment

We had an appointment today and it went really well. We FINALLY got an ultrasound! It was so great to see our little boy. And yes, he's still a boy! Woohoo!! They are estimating his weight at 6 pounds 3 ish ounces if I remember correctly. The tech thinks he may be about 7 1/2 pounds when he's born. My beta strep test came back negative, which is great news because then I don't need any antibiotics during labor. We are getting super excited about meeting our little boy! We finally got started on our hospital bag and will be done with that this weekend. I also finally found a diaper bag I like, so I got that last night. Caden's room is almost done. We are now mostly working on decorations now. I can hardly believe I will be 37 weeks (FULL TERM!!) on Friday! It has really flown by. We are going to do our belly cast this weekend also and pick up some last minute things! Tomorrow I turn 26! Yikes!! My last day of work is coming really fast, June 13th!! I have all my weekly appointments booked now. I will be going every wednesday! It's just a waiting game now!!

35w 3d Appointment

Monday we went and saw Dr. McKinney. She is such an incredible doctor and I am so lucky to have her as my OB! All my vitals checked out perfectly and my total weight gain is at 29 pounds. A little more than I was hoping for it to be, but my doctor assured me I am on a good path! I am measuring right on track in the belly department. She did my group b strep test and I am thinking I will get those results back when I go to my appointment next week. Can you believe I'm at weekly visits now!?! She checked me and said I was 70% (I think) thinned out and a finger tip dilated! She said that is right where I am supposed to be. She could also feel Caden's little head! That was very reassuring to know that he is head down and in position for delivery! Fingers crossed I don't have that crazy child that randomly flips around!! I am sooooo excited that at our visit next Wednesday we are getting an ultrasound!! FINALLY!!! Hopefully he is still a he! Lol

On another note, we went to the Fleck's 50th birthday party at Capital City Harley and it was a 70s theme! Everyone had a great time and the costumes were amazing!!!

Maternity Pictures

My extremely talented sister in law Meredith took some maternity pictures for us at railroad square. She did such an amazing job and we are so blessed to have her share her talent with us! These were taken the day after my shower at 34 weeks!

Baby Shower

My mom, Grammy, and Alexis threw me an amazing baby shower!! I am so grateful to everyone that attended! All the decorations and everything was perfect. Alexis had an activity where everyone wrote words of advice to Caden! I LOVED listening to them all and can't wait to read them to Caden when he gets here. Here are some pics my fabulous sister in law took of the shower!!
