Catch Up and 37 Week Update

Well, as you can tell...I had a ton of posts to catch up on! I still have to post nursery pictures, but we are still waiting on a few final touches...one of those being this little girl's name so that I can hang her initials above her bed...oh well...maybe we'll post nursery pictures after she's here.

I went to the doctor yesterday. All is going well and we are still set for the c-section on the 21st. Its a pretty special day in that it is the day after Jarrod's Nanny's (91st) birthday. Logan was born the day after Jarrod's birthday and is named after Nanny too. She's a pretty special lady!

I'm doing weekly visits now, but its a little crazy to think that we will have her 2 weeks from today! I now have carpal tunnel in both hands, but am assured that this will go away after the baby's born. I've also been having some dizzy spells, but the doctor isn't concerned--I'm not swelling very often and my blood pressure is great, so that is a huge blessing. She just said that its normal with it being so hot outside...did I mention that it was 108 on Sunday and 109 on Monday??? When I started the truck after running some errands and it had been sitting on the hot concrete, it actually read 122...granted it came down to 109 within 20 minutes, its a little disturbing to see that one! Despite those two things and the fact that I'm sleeping a little less...I feel great. Again, that is a huge blessing. I can actually say that the end of this pregnancy is a little different in that I'm more than ready to share her with the world. I wasn't ready with Logan--I didn't want to share him with anyone and I felt like he was so safe and protected in my body. With Miss Priss, I feel like my stomach could split open at any moment and that we'd all be better off if I could share some of this weight and heat with someone else!!! Ha!ha!

Today, my mother-in-law was wonderful enough to go grocery shopping with me and help me cook some meals to freeze for after we get home from the hospital. It feels great to feel like I'm ahead of the game on something and to know that my family won't be regulated to cereal and sandwiches after we get home from the hospital!
