Dr's apt & Gianna's Room

So I thought I was at the home stretch, but I've been feeling good and don't feel like I'll be going into labor anytime soon. Baby has been doing great and moving a lot. She gets monitored twice a week and each time they said she's doing great. I guess too great because she hasn't dropped yet and I'm not dialated either! Doc says I'm softening up so I should start dialating any time now BUT he doesn't want to schedule an induction yet. Now I'm waiting until my next apt on the 23rd to see if I've progressed and then he'll decided when I'll be induced. I just can't wait to meet her! The suspence is killing us and going to make this next week go by slow. We know that now's the time to enjoy our sleep and the peace and quiet!

David is really excited for the baby to come! He's been working a lot in the heat and can't wait to take a little time off when the baby gets here. His parents are planning to come out here next week from Arizona.

Chuey's doing great. Went and had him shaved for the summer heat and he goes to the vet tomorrow for a check up. Getting all his needs taken care of now so he's good to go when baby gets here. He's going to have to get used to being outside more when she gets here! :)

All G's stuff is cleaned and ready to go. Below are pics of her baby room, everything is waiting for her arrival!! Enjoy!

Week 38!!!!

Gianna could come today and we would be ready (except for a few things I need to finish up with work). My last day in the office was yesterday! YIPEE!! And it couldn't come at a better time! I'm really tired, have little energy and my feet are so swollen they hurt so it is best I just stay off of them as much as possible. Gia's room is all ready, clothes ready, bags packed. I saw her on an ultra sound yesterday and she's doing great. Dr says if I go full term she could be about 8 pounds! She's riding pretty high in my belly and is showing no signs of dropping any time soon. I don't feel like I could go into labor in the next two weeks, but then again you never know!
My rash, called PUPPS, has finally gone away, thanksfully the weather has been cool because when it got hot I swelled up like a balloon and the rash was so horrible. Stay tuned for an update on my this coming week since I'll see the Dr on Wednesday. I'll also post pictures of the baby's room as well as the belly shots David and I took last week. Everything is coming together well and I'm just so anxious for my baby girl to get here!!!!
