Our Sweet Christian

These are Christian's first professional pictures taken at the hospital on day 2! Christian came out adorable and we couldn't resist buying some pictures to share with our loved ones!

39 Week Appointment Update

Last Thursday was our 39 week appointment. Dr. Peterson thinks he dropped some more, I'm dilated 1 cm (still! :(), she guesses his weight 8-8 1/2 lbs, confirmed we'll do another hospital u/s to check weight accurately and we changed my next appointment date. I'm usually seen on Thursdays, a day after each new week for me, but we changed it to Tuesday 230 and said we'd discuss the u/s results. The earliest we could do u/s is Tuesday and as of right now I'm still waiting to get a call with an appointment time for that. I'm just so anxious at this point. I'm not at all frustrated with being pregnant, just anxious and a lil concerned about my BIG boy. I HAVE to push him out so I don't want him to get too big, or bigger than he already is I should say! haha Dr. Peterson said she'd be fine with inducing on my due date or any day past it, but definitely after 2 weeks past my due date. I definitely don't want to wait 2 weeks past my due date, and I'm really trying to hold out being induced. I just rationalize that it will be a smoother delivery if I just let nature take it's time. I'm so undecided...We'll see what happens. I'm definitely feeling Christian moving this morning and I've felt a lil belly tightening, but not as intense as early last week. It seems like the cramping and tightening slowed down and I don't know why! lol I thought it would only get more intense.

This Saturday Carlos and I had a surprise baby shower hosted by my in-laws. We were told to come over to my mother in law's for some tamales and we both figured it was for my mother in law's birthday (12/13), but we get there and we get a nice greeting...,"SURPRISE!!!!!" We sure were surprised! It was really just family there. We got some more clothes, bath products and money! :) I'll be starting Christian a savings account once he's born and has a social security number. I know it will just sit there, nothing will ever be withdrawn, if I do daddy will KILL me! haha

Christian We're Ready for you Baby!!

Well we are now 38 weeks and 5 days along...I just keep smiling as I think about our little sweetie who'll be here soon enough! I'm really hoping this will be the week!! It's all in Christian's court right now. I'm feeling fine, still some pressure down there, but it's expected. Last night it was the worst, but I think I overworked my big belly self, but I couldn't help it. Was it my OCD or is it really baby nesting I was doing? I opened the fridge and just went to town cleaning it til it was spotless! Then I started with the laundry, tried to clear up the counter clutter, and what else?? I know I did more and I already forgot, that is crazy! haha

So this weekend we took pictures at a small beautiful park, Helen's Park that I found atleast a year ago while just driving around with mom trying to find garage sales. She always told me I had to go back, and we finally did! Me and Carlos went with Vicky, Sergio and Kate. We made a day of it. Too bad I skipped church though...

Above are some pictures from our photo shoot! :) We had fun, it was a beautiful day, a little chilly, but still beautiful!

Thursday is our next appointment, we'll see if Christian surprises us before then...I sure do hope so!! I'm ready to meet my lil man already! I know he's done baking, come on now Christian!! Love you baby! Tomorrow is Carlos' 36th birthday and it would be a GREAT birthday surprise!!

This morning Carlos dropped me off since my mom doesn't work on Mondays. So I'm officially on car rest, no more driving for me and especially not alone. My mommy and Carlos love to spoile me rotten! :) So sweet of them!

38 Week Appointment Update

So today was our 38 week appointment and here is my status:

I'm measuring 40 weeks, Christian's heartbeat was 150, my blood pressure was a lot better than last week, 117/81, I gained about 4-5lbs :(, Christian is an estimated 8 lbs, dr may order an ultrasound after next week's appointment and I'm about 1 cm dilated. She expects to see me next week, but as we all know it could happen any day now...

I'm just trying to be patient as I wait for the BIG day. So I was a sad puppy and packed my bag and Christian's bag in the car today just in case dr said we should induce. Carlos said his famous words, "Get real Roxy!" lol It could have happened, not knowing how my blood pressure was and since it was high last week I wanted to be prepared.

Still Getting Ready...

Yeah!! Daddy put in the carseat today in our car. I love the colors and how it all matches, it's just PERFECT! Daddy has the spare in his truck, which I don't really anticipate Christian to be in very often.

Daddy put up the curtain rod and I added the nicely ironed curtain valance. We keep adding more to Christian's beautiful nursery and it feels more like home for him as we continue!!
