quicky...

cause it's late!

we are in our new house!! still in a lot of boxes but thats okay - we'll get there!

last drs. appt. was uneventful - i go back on tuesday and will have a growth ultrasound to see how big he is... we are guessing (along with the dr.) that he's at least 8lbs. there is a good chance that they may schedule an induction at my appt. on tues.

so stay tuned!!

SO READY!

even though i really want to wait to have aiden until march - i am TOTALLY ready for him to be out already... this is just a small list of reason why...

• this belly - it is totally getting in the way! i'm ready to be able to wear shoes that i can tie by myself again! and have more variety in my clothes!
  
• control of my own bladder - and not have to pee ALL THE TIME!
• weight - i am so ready to get back to the gym for all my les mills classes!! oh - how i miss them!
• i want a glass of wine! (i know - i can have one - i am just choosing to not have any before he is born)
• oh - and of course - i can't wait to see him - hold him - love him!!!

11 days... give or take!

coming home outfit

okay so we finally picked out aiden's coming home outfit! it's too cute! adam loves monkeys so i figured it would be a good pick.

trip to labor and delivery

so friday morning i was thinking - i don't remember aiden moving much yesterday... so after i ate breakfast (a nice sugary donut and some apple juice) i laid down on my side for about 45 min. to see if he would move - i felt only one movement. so i went to work and was going to call the doctors office as soon as i got a moment. whenever i was sitting down and being still (which has been happening a lot more often - glad i have a good class!) i would pay attention to see if he would move at all - and nothing... so once i got my kids to lunch i called the doctors office and was told to go to labor and delivery to be monitored.

so adam came and picked me up from work and off to the hospital we went... i got strapped in and we were able to hear a heartbeat right away and the nurse said that everything looked okay - but i needed to stay for at least 20 min. she also asked if i felt him moving and when i said no she said that sometimes we get accustomed to the movement and just don't notice it - cause he was moving. after about 20 min. i was able to feel him move. i ended up being on the monitor for an hour because i had to wait for the doctor to get out of surgery to release me. i was released and told that everything looked and sounded good and hopefully they wouldn't see me again until i was ready to deliver! (my hope too!)

baby shower

had my baby shower last saturday... it was at 333 on broad and it was a nice time with my friends! i only have pictures that i took before it all got started... i'll post the rest once i get copies from karen - she took all the pictures.

my friend jennifer made this diaper cake - so cute!

and here is the cake... love it and it was yummy!!

oh and our friends kim and jason came down from tennessee for the weekend - kim is due a week after me!

35-36 weeks!

monday we had our dr. appt.

everything looks good - aiden is still head down and still locked and loaded! since i have been having pressure he decided to check my cervix and i'm still closed up! (sorry if TMI) but that is good - i really want him to stay in until at least march 1st!

i'm now on to weekly appts.

i have a baby shower on saturday!! :) and then my work shower will be on wednesday! exciting stuff!
