One more week!!!

I had my 39 week appointment today. I am finally dialated to 1 cm after having nothing at my 38 week appointment. My next appointment is Tuesday March, 31st which is my due date. The dr is going to do a growth ultrasound (since he was rather large at the last one), a non-stress test, and check me again. She is then most likely going to go ahead and induce me Tuesday night so Brett should be born Wednesday April 1st!! Hopefully everything works out and there's no problems. Of course if he wants to come before then he is more than welcome.

In other news Scott managed to set our garage on fire tonight. Luckily we caught it before it spread past the trash can. So the only damage was the trash can, a folding chair that was leaning against it, and a hole in the drywall from the firefighters making sure the walls weren't on fire.

Updates

Things have still been going good. Baby shower was on Feb 7th and I got tons of cute clothes for Brett. Thank you to everyone who came, it was a great time.

I had my 34 week appointment today and had a 3-D ultrasound. Brett is measuring at 6 lbs 4 oz and based on his head circumference he is measuring ahead to March 16th. I'm still due the 31st but we'll have to keep an eye on his size.

Baby's room done!

I had a Dr. apt this week and everything is still good. I had to drink the orange stuff for the GD test and it wasn't too bad. I haven't gotten a call yet so I'm hoping that means I passed. I start the every 2 week appointments now and just registered to take a birthing class and breastfeeding class.

I painted the baby's room over christmas break and finally finished today. My dad came and helped us put up chair rail. Now we just need furniture. Below are pictures of the room with kim's stuff in it since she still lives here.

Merry Christmas!!

2 more days of work then I get 11 straight days off!!!! I can't wait. We finished our last little bit of shopping this weekend and everything is now wrapped and under the tree. We don't have Trestin for christmas this year, we get her back the day after, so Santa has already put everything under the tree. We did come home from dinner tonight to a nice little suprise. One of the dogs decided to open their present early.

I was sick a couple days last week with a stomach bug. The doctor had me come in on Thursday to make sure everything was ok with the baby and it was really just a virus. They did a non-stress test, which was kinda fun. You just sit there for 20 min with a monitor around your stomach and listen to the heartbeat. You could even hear when he kicked.

We finally registred for baby stuff. We were like the blind leading the blind trying to figure out what to register for.

We've also changed our minds on the name. It's no long Brett Anthony and is now Brett Maverick.

Update

I had another dr. apt this week and everything is still good. The holiday's aren't helping out in the weight gain area though. My next apt is Jan 6, then I start going every 2 weeks. It's amazing how fast the time is going. March is probably going to be the slowest month ever though.

Thanksgiving was good. We went to my parents for the day as usual. Lots of food and games. Paula and Richard announced their engagement so there is another wedding to plan for next October.

We cut down and put up our tree last week also. It's rather large, about 8 feet tall and 6 feet wide.

23 weeks and 4 days

It's a...........

BOY!!!! I'll post ultrasound pictures as soon as I can find someone to scan them in. There's no good picture of his face though because he was using the placenta as a pillow. Everything looks good and is where it should be so that's good.

Halloween and belly pics

Halloween was a lot of fun. We went trick-or-treating then had a bonfire. Trestin was a Monster Bride. Saturday I went to Steve and Janes baby shower at the Sandefurs.

We find out Tuesday what the baby is. Then we are meeting with a potential baby sitter. I'll definately update everyone Tuesday!
