Pictures

We had some portraits made this week. I thought I'd include a few here that are my favorites. These were taken either Thursday (5/24) or yesterday (5/26), so basically right at 40 weeks. Also, here are a couple of pictures of our nursery:

40 Weeks!

I had my 40-week checkup this morning. Unfortunately, there's not much to report. I've still not dilated any... meaning I'm still "on hold". I'm scheduled for another checkup next Friday. They will do a nonstress test at that time - which is just monitoring the baby and contractions.

We are now going to play the waiting game!

39 Weeks

I had my 39-week checkup Friday. Everything still looks good, but I have not dilated any yet. My doctor seemed a little surprised but still says it's not unusual for the first baby. My blood pressure is "perfect" and I managed to put on a few more pounds. My total weight gain thus far is 27 pounds. The doctor estimates the baby is 7 to 7 1/2 pounds now. I really think that's a great size to deliver, but God knows best! We have prayed that the baby will come after Kris gets finished with all his work for the school year - next Friday. So, I am really ok with not being dilated any.

We shopped yesterday (hopefully for the final time) for the last bit of furniture. I now have a changing table/dresser combo with a hutch. This piece matches the crib. I hope to have a picture of the nursery up soon. I have the finishing touches to put on the room... organizing drawers and shelf space and then I'll post a picture.

I ordered a glider rocker yesterday - should be here this week. I figured since we were spending money, why not go ahead and do it right!

This morning, we are enjoying the sunshine. I'm sitting outside typing this and watching Kris wash the cars in the garage. It's a beautiful day, and I am thankful for the sun... I think my legs will be too. I'm in desperate need of a tan!
