2/18/11 - It's hard to believe but I am now 36 weeks! We are exactly a month from my real due date and just a week away from meeting our baby! We had an ultrasound and appointment yesterday and the good news is that my BP is still low and I am feeling great. Unfortunately, baby is still measuring small at only 4 1/2 pounds. They tell us that this could be off by up to a pound, but considering how good my OB is, I kind of doubt that they're off by much. However, the doc is not concerned about size, only about placental function. He feels confident that everything is going well and developmentally she will be ready to arrive, she may just be small. So I go in 2 more times over the next week to have a non-stress test to ease our fears, but assuming those go well (which they are expected to), we will meet baby next Saturday! Please keep prayers coming for a happy/healthy baby!
2/9/11 - I just got back from my 34 week appointment and everything still looks great! We are now just 2 1/2 weeks from meeting baby girl! (In fact, the doctor uttered the words "home stretch")
34 Weeks
1/18/11 - We are nearly finished with the nursery so I thought I would post some pictures of the room-in-waiting!
30 weeks We had our 29 week appointment last week and so far baby girl is looking great! She is very active and has great muscle tone. She a little on the small side, but we're not very surprised by that since both Eric and Marisa were small when they were born. She is already over two and a half pounds, which is almost as much as Eric weighed when he was born (3 lbs 3 oz). We have set a date for Saturday, February 26 to be her birthday! Please pray that she stay put until then!!
We now have weekly appointments, so I will try to keep this post updated as we go. Until then, you can see my progress and I will also try to post some ultrasound pictures.
January 8 - Eric attending his Sibling Class at the hospital - he's ready to be a big brother! For anyone good at looking at this stuff (which is neither Tim or I!), you can see a tiny arrow pointing to baby's left index finger, which is laying by the side of her head. Head is on the right.
This is a picture confirming it is a girl! There are actually 3 lines here but because of my scanner they are hard to see. Just trust us on this one. :)
28 Weeks - Furniture has arrived!
24 Weeks - We've gone pink!

Here is a picture of baby girl - head is on the right and stomach on the left. A little arm is seen in between and you can even see her eyes looking at us. :)
