Yesterday we had baby girl checked out again. This appointment was filled with GOOD news!! Baby girl got measured at a whopping 5lbs 8oz -- (35th percentile). And, my fluids just keep getting better (yes, I am making sure I'm well hydrated these days).
This little miss passed her tests and gave no reason for any concern. She looked cute as ever with her hands up by her face and her little ankles crossed - like always!!
So, the dr felt that everything looked really good and there no need for concern. Now, I just need her to get lower - so that I can be reassured that she will "fit". Then we will really be doing well. Otherwise, I am a regular patient and scheduled my weekly visits for the next 4 weeks -- cRaZy!!!
Today the final piece of the nursery came (the glider) so we will have to post pictures soon of her amazingness of a room - lucky girl!!
And tomorrow we will be showered with love -- two showers in one day, I'm tired out just thinking about all the festivities! ;) Definitely have one spoiled little girl here.
I'm doing well - am excited to think that one month from tomorrow is her due date! But, I'm definitely feeling more and more ready to go as the days go by - this really just started within the past week. Between this horrendous heart burn and my swollen shrek-like feet/ankles, I'm ready to be "normal" again! One month to go, one month to go!!
Ok, I'm out for the night!!

Don't worry, we are still here!!
Well, well, well.... it's amazing to look back and realize that it's been 5 weeks since my last post - yowza! Life has been crazy, crazy busy! So, it's a good thing that nobody knows about this blog yet, right? ;)
Onto the important thing in our life: our precious little peanut! Can you believe it, I am over 35 weeks along?!? That means less than 5 weeks to go!! I really, truly cannot believe how fast and amazing this journey has been so far -- and to think that the best is yet to come. So, I first want to take a look back on this journey to fill you all in.
The fun little details:
11.10.09 -- Who knew that seeing a pink little line appear across a plastic stick you pee on (sorry, it's the truth) could change your life forever!! Yes, it's true, we are having a baby!! And, I must be honest and say that J did NOT believe it until the following day.... oh that Hubby!
11.19.09 -- Went to the dr and had blood work - yep, officially "preggo"
12.1.09 -- First ultrasound - we saw our little Miracle -- and that is why I called the baby "Mira" for the first few months - it really was an amazing miracle that we had created this life with one another. A+J+Baby began! I was 6 weeks and 3 days along, given a due date of 7.24.10
12.15.09 -- Second ultrasound - baby was still there, amazing that this little Mira would become our child!
1.5.10 -- We heard that little heart beating away! And, we were told that Mira was very active! Actually, the nurse couldn't give us what the heart rate was because Mira wouldn't stay in place long enough to figure it out :)
2.8.10 -- J & I went to Arizona to visit Granny. While on our way to Granny's house, our taxi cab driver decided to pay attention to his GPS rather than the traffic ahead - well, he rear-ended the car ahead of us!! So....
2.9.10 -- went to the ER to get Mira checked, I just needed to be reassured that this "baby" was ok in there... well, the ultrasound lady wouldn't let J in the room - boo! So, once she told me that she was 99% sure she knew the sex of our baby, I asked her to write it on a piece of paper so that J & I could open it together (oh, and I haven't mentioned -- I was CONVINCED that Mira was a BOY!! there was no question in my mind). Well... we had a date night later that day and J first opened the piece of paper and managed to not give me any sort of reaction at.all! So... the paper was passed across the table to me - needless to say, my jaw is still on the floor in that restaurant as I was not expecting it to say GIRL!!??!! And, I was in such shock that I continued to believe that the ultrasound lady did.NOT.know.what.she.was.doing! Yep, that means we kept it quiet that we had known what we were having!!
2.22.10 -- We had the regular scheduled level 2 ultrasound. First of all, this baby would NOT cooperate and let us see that precious little face, they tried forever to get Mira to turn and show that face but those little arms and hands kept waving around keeping that beautiful little profile a secret from us - little stinker!! So... no cute profile pic of this baby - but, at least there was no hiding the fact, that we were officially having a..... GIRL!!!!! Onto the shopping!! J had no idea what he was going to be in for with being the only man in the house - hee hee... let the fun begin!!
3.24.10 -- We had a fetal echocardiogram done on Baby Girl to make sure that everything was there and working properly - now... the good thing was that we got a precious photo of baby girls profile -- hooray! Now, the only problem was that Baby Girl decided to be a stinker AGAIN!! She decided to already practice "tummy time" - this means that she wouldn't get off of her tummy. So... the only way that they could see her heart was through her spine, however, that was shadowing her heart - so.... she proved that she holds the power AGAIN! We didn't get to see as much of that heart as we had hoped, but it was enough to know that her little heart would keep on melting ours...
6.10.10 -- Ultrasound day! The dr wanted to check on Baby Girl to see her size and be sure that she was going to "fit" on delivery day. We found out that she was measuring at 4lbs 4oz (24th percentile). The down side to the apt was that they measured my amniotic fluid low - boo! They had me do a non-stress test on Baby Girl to be sure that everything was ok with her - it took a little time, but she was in there and decided to stop being shy and give some good kicks, etc., I was then told to take it easy for the next few days and drink as many fluids as I possibly could and come back in a few days.
6.14.10 -- Had another ultrasound as little Baby Girl had to have some more testing done, she had to pass a breathing test, then they watched her to be sure that she moved so many times, etc., She passed very, very quickly. Then, I went and was hooked up again for the non-stress test which again she passed with flying colors!!! And then I got to meet with the dr. He addressed a slight concern with Baby Girl's weight and indicated that he would like to continue to keep watch of this little one and be sure that she would continue growing and that my levels stay where they are supposed to! Oh... I forgot to mention - my fluid levels were up where they should be too - woo hoo!
That's a very quick little journey down Baby Girl Lane!! I promise to do a better job at the updates!!
Lots of Love,
A+J+Baby Girl
