38 Weeks

Well, we went to the doctor yesterday and he has scheduled us for an induction on October 2nd, unless I go into labor before then. We are very ready for Hannah to be here so this may be a long week. Chris is off work so we are trying to get everything finished for her arrival.

Nesting

People have talked about the "nesting stage" and I didn't think I was going to go through that until this week. Being at home has really made me want to get everything ready and finished in case Hannah gets here early. Between resting, I have washed the newborn clothes and all the blankets and burp cloths. Yesterday I put the base and car seat in the car and then that afternoon got bottles and pacifiers ready and in the cabinet.

We received our swing/infant seat/toddler rocker from our good friend, Mrs. Melinda. The swing I picked out converts to an infant seat and then later to a toddler rocker. The infant seat just lifts off the swing base and you can move it around where ever you need it to be. I am hoping that Hannah will like it.

Today we went to see Dr. Kroeger for a follow-up after our time in Labor and Delivery Tuesday. My blood pressures were all good and my lab work came back with no signs of problems. I will go back and have another sonogram on Monday and back to see Dr. Kroeger. Looks like we are going to get really chummy with these doctors here at the end!!

Last Shower

My friends gave me a great shower last night. It was a lot of fun and Hannah is just about set with all she needs. I think we just have a few odds and ends to get before she arrives.
Today we went to see Dr. Mayberry for another sonogram. He estimates Hannah to weigh 6lbs 6ozs and 18-19 inches long. He thought that her lungs and heart all looked really good.
My blood pressure did crazy things when we went over to see Dr. Kroeger so that won us a free ticket to Labor and Delivery for observation. I had perfect blood pressures there so they sent me home on moderate bed rest. I will go back to the doctor on Friday. We will keep you posted. Miss Hannah may make an early appearance.
