Baby Update - 34 1/2 weeks

We had our ultrasound today to find out an estimate of Madison's weight. And I have an explanation for why my belly is so big! She currently weighs.......... 6 1/2 pounds! and maybe a little more :) Yes, she is going to be a big girl. The doctor was pretty lost for words, she couldn't believe that she was already that big. I am now on weekly appointments and will have one next Wednesday. Dr. Fisher stated that if I didn't go on my own by 37 weeks then we would have another ultrasound. However, she told us to make sure our bags were packed because it is likely due to her weight she could come early. Oh, and the ultrasound confirmed that she has a full head of hair. The rest of the appointment went well. We are getting adjusted to the idea that a c-section is more likely than not, although she is head down. Dr. Fisher stated if she was to be 9 pounds they would allow me to elect a c-section. Only time will tell... she may decide to make an early arrival!

33 1/2 weeks

We are 33 1/2 weeks and still growing... Less than a week and we have our ultrasound to find out her weight.

Nursery preview

Here is the progress made in the nursery so far. Aunt Nicole painted the scallops on the wall. A friend Nicole is coming in about a week to paint a few butterflies on the wall. In addition, we have a couple of items to hang on the wall. Two frames to hold black and white pictures above the changing table and the canvas with Madison's name (friend Nicole painted) goes above the crib. But, this should give you a good idea. Thanks to Aunt Nicole and dad (who assisted) for all of their hard work this past weekend.

Doctor's Appointment 4/17/08

Sorry for being so slow on the update. We had a busy weekend and soon their will be a post so you will know why! At my appointment on Thursday, everything went very well. My next appointment will be on 4/30/08 at which we will have an ultrasound. Madison and I are measuring early, so we are getting an ultrasound to check how much she has grown. And hopefully get a gestimate on what she will weigh at birth. However, ultrasounds can still be off a pound either more or less. We will just have to wait and see. Later this week I should have at least 2 more posts, so keep checking!

April 19th Baby Shower (#2)

My sister flew in from Ohio this past weekend for my baby shower. My mother, sister, aunt, cousin, and Janet threw me a baby shower on Saturday, April 19th from 2-4pm. It was a wonderful shower and Madison got alot of gifts! Now we are set, once we get it all organized. I hope you enjoy the pictures!

Just thought I would post some updated pictures. Everything is going very well. Hope all is good with everyone!

Baby Shower - March 29th

I had my first baby shower on Saturday, March 29th at my home. It was hosted by friends (Leslie, Angie, Lyndall, Amy, Jennifer and Missy). There were about 25 people that attended and it was wonderful! There were two guests from Raleigh and one from Baltimore! We got our stroller, bouncy seat, activity mat, clothes, bags, diapers, bath supplies, pj's, and lots more. My granny said she thought we were going to need to put Madison in the front room which is bigger. But, I told her that Goody and Papa needed a room to sleep in when the come! :)
