The Addie Room

Last weekend, Mom and Cheryl finished the Addie bedding. We absolutely love it!!

Thank you guys so much for all your hard work!! They made my vision come true.

Week 36 Dr. Appt.

On Tuesday afternoon, I had my 36 week checkup. My mom went with me because Jeremy had parent teacher conferences. I saw Doctor Cole, he was super nice and I liked him a whole lot. I had perfect iron levels, my pee was good, blood pressure was good and weight was good. He said that he couldn't get on to me for anything!!! Then he checked me. This was the first time for this and I was a little nervous because I had heard conflicting stories about comfort and pain. Well, it didn't hurt and comfort level was fine.

This is what he said: Her head is down entering the canal, my cervix are softening and I have dilated to 1CM!!!! I was super pumped because I was afraid that nothing was happening. I really don't want to be induced so I was excited to know that she's working on getting out of there. I have been having contractions; they have been inconsistent at this point. Dr. Cole said that he really expected that we would have a baby before November 28th!!!

I also went ahead and made him document: EPIDURAL!!!

So for now we wait and see what happens.

The Friend Shower and Back Up

This weekend was my friend shower at our house that way everyone could see Addie's nursery. We had 17 close friends from college, work and family who were able to attend.

We continue to get so many great things. This was the wrap up shower. Everyone wanted to know what we needed and so they bought up all the things that we needed but had not yet received.

Also, I posted a blog for the Morrison Shower that was the first shower. I didn't mean to leave that shower out but I couldn't get the picture to load and then forgot. But since I had actually already written the blog it posted it under August from when it was dated.

Doctor's Appointment Week 34

Okay so this Thursday, will be week 34. We went to the doctor today and everything looks good. We had our last ultrasound that I begged for. Jeremy and I got to see Adalynn's face, nose, lips, and chin and fat cheeks. Her heart, stomach and bladder looked good. She has two legs and two arms as well as hands and feet. Everything appears to be there that needs to be.

Their weight estimation is 5lbs and 4oz. She is suppose to gain half a pound a week from here on out. So that means she should weigh over 8lbs. when she arrives. They did not change our due date. So for now we wait for November 28th.

We started the childbirth class last night. We really didn't learn anything yet. Just learned anatomy, pregnancy symptoms and delivery process. There are nine couples and we are 2nd in line to deliver. Most of the people aren't due until January. We did some simple breathing exercises.

Baby Bedding

After much stress the baby bedding is underway. Now all the stress in on Mom and her sewing buddy, Cheryl. Cheryl is doing all the sewing machine work and Mom is hand-stitching. I think that it looks great!!! I can't wait to get it all in her room. I will post pictures of it when it is all finished. I have started painting letters of her name for the wall. Right now you will have to settle for a picture of the bedskirt.

Maebrie IS HERE!!

On Monday, October 8th, Maebrie was finally born. It took her long enough to decide to enter the world but we are very thankful that she is here and everything is okay. Jeremy and I went to see her on Wednesday when she got home. Whenever, I hold her, Addie kicks her in the back!! They are already fighting. It cracks me up.

Adalynn's First Hog Game

On Saturday, October 13th, Adalynn attended her first Razorback game in utero of course. It was very loud and so she was rocking and rolling the whole time. We went to the game with Aunt Tasha and Uncle Eric and then the extra grandparents, Mike and Karen. The Hogs lost but we still had a great time.

Before the game, Tasha, Addie and me had our picture made with some of the basketball players. We are pictured with Patrick Beverley and Stefan Welsh. Patrick rubbed my belly!!! Maybe, if we are lucky she has some basketball magic!!! Everyone knows Jeremy and I are NOT basketball players.

Yates' Family Shower

We had our Yates' Family Shower on Saturday, October 13th. Jeremy's aunt Becky, cousins Lindsey and Tiffani and Grandmother Yates were the hostesses. Again, we received so many neat things. Each shower has kind of been themed. This shower was definitely the blanket shower. We have blankets now!!! Which is good because we didn't have a lot of them.

We are very thankful to everyone for their thoughtfulness during our showers.

Mansfield Baby Shower

We had our shower on Saturday, September 23rd in Mansfield with our family and friends. This shower could have themed "the outfit shower." We got so many clothes and they are all so cute. We are so excited for Addie to get here and wear them. This shower was hosted by my aunts. They are going to be great aunts for the first time and we love them so much!!!

Dr. Appointment Week 32

This Thursday will be week 32, possibly week 33 depending on who you ask. So I had a doctor's appointment today with Dr. Gorman. He reported that I looked good and that my belly was a little larger than he would expect. However, I haven't gained any weight since my last visit. Which seems kinda bizarre, especially if you have seen me recently!!

Adalynn had a great heart beat!!

I did talk Dr. Gorman into giving us a second ultrasound. So we can see her again. I am very excited about that. He agreed because of the skepticism of the due date. Everyone just pray that she is a GIRL!! If not we are in trouble.

Mom received the material for the bedding, last Monday. However, when she did the prewashing the black material faded!!! So now I am having to deal with that. Hopefully, Addie will someday have baby bedding.

In other baby news:

• We are still waiting on Maebrie to arrive. If Jamie doesn't do something soon, her doctor will induce Wednesday, the 10th.
• Anna Beth, Nina's baby, is a week behind us but if Nina doesn't keep her sugar levels good, Anna Beth may beat Addie into the world!
• Jordan and Susan just found out last week they are having a boy!
• Sarah and Brad will find out this weekend what their baby is going to be!!
