35 Week Doc Appointment

Today's appointment went well. Another quick visit to see how baby and I are doing. Everything is on schedule and looking great. I signed a few consent forms for delivery....doc said if he was born anytime now he should be just fine :) They start checking me next week to see if I'm making any progress. I'm so ready to have this baby!!!! I'm extremely tired, everything is a chore, and I'm just completely ready to meet him!

Christmas is this week & I can't wait. I love this time of the year....seeing family & friends, good times, and good food! I can't believe this is Jordan and I's last Christmas together with just the two of us. The thought still boggles my mind.

Here is an updated pic of my growing belly :) I think I grow a little more each week. He is definitely getting bigger and his movements aren't so "small" anymore. That's all for now---Merry Christmas!!!

33 Week Doctor Appointment

I had my appointment on Monday (dec.6th) and everything went just fine :) Very quick appointment and I have a feeling it might be that way until I hit 36 weeks....then the real fun begins! I have to be a little negative for a minute because I've been in a lot of pain lately. Jaden has been sitting/laying/punching on my sciatic nerve and the pain is getting worse and more constant. It's to the point now where I feel it pretty much all day and it's getting harder to even just walk around because it hurts so bad. I have my next doctor appointment on the 20th and I plan on talking more about it with them because it's getting worse as the weeks go on. I'm pretty sure it's my sciatic nerve, but I would like them to confirm it for me :) So unfortunately, walking and being active are not on my list of things to do anymore. I really hate that because I'm so not the type of person to just rest or lay around. I figure for now I will do what I can and just realize when I need to take a break instead of trying to fight through it and just be in more pain later.

On the more fun/bright side, we purchased Jaden's travel system (stroller & car seat) as well as his coming home outfit! It's getting so close and I'm becoming so anxious. I think just seeing the car seat made it more real. Just knowing a lil' one will be in there soon. So now that those two items are bought, Jaden is pretty much set to start his lil' life with us :) The only things I have on my list now are to clean and organize his room and to pack all of our hospital bags.

Like I said my next appointment is Dec. 20th and I will update again then (hopefully with more info on baby Jaden) and I will post another pic of my growing belly!
