9 month pictures

Here's a little sneak peak at my sister's pictures that she took today. I have to wait to get them on cd before I can add more. Some are on facebook already.

Week 37

At our appointment this week we found out the results of the Group B strep test (it was negative) , again my belly was measured, and we got to hear her heartbeat. Yet again everything is good. Doctor F also said that I had dropped slightly and that as he was about to put the Doppler device to my belly that I had a contraction. It was only a little Braxton hicks...but that does mean things are getting ready. Next week he will start checking for dilation and effacement. So at this point I guess she could really come at anytime. I am thinking that she may be right on time. :)

This week has also be full of prepping...getting my room ready (just in case), getting Madi's room ready, and doing everything that needs to be done before she arrives. I think I have mastered the carrier/car seat and have everything pretty orderly in my classroom. I even began prepping the kids for the day that Mrs. Dougherty isn't there.

I think we are almost ready. :)

Week 36

All is well this week. Had the group B strep test, belly was measured, and listened to the heartbeat. All is good. She is still moving around like crazy and this week I had a few nights of sleep that were a little hard.

My team at school also gave me a fabulous baby shower. I love my Carver family! I will post pics when I get them.

Halloween outfits

Here are Madi's first Halloween outfits. Aren't they cute? Thank you Grumby. (Charles' mom)
She's gonna be our little pumpkin.

Week 34

Ok, so I haven't been very good about doing this each week. Things are just super busy with school and getting ready for the baby.

That being said here's the latest update -
I went to my 34 week appointment today and I am measuring right on at 34. The baby's heart rate is 140, which is right where it should be. She should be weighing about 5 lbs or so right now and is roughly 20 or so inches long, but we won't know for sure until she is born.

The doctor felt around to see where she was positioned and her head is down.
That means it has been her feet kicking me up high lately. Yesterday at school while I was reading to the kids I could feel her little foot... it was neat cause she did that throughout the day. I can't post a pic cause I left the camera at school, but I will tomorrow.

Her room is almost ready...I bought a cubbie shelf today and put it together to hold books and toys and stuff. It is pretty cute. There is one wall that I am not 100 % happy with, but we still have a little bit of time. We have figured out how to use the carrier in the stroller...now it's time to figure out the car seat before the big day. I have also packed clothes for the baby and my bag is almost packed too. After that all that is left to do is relax...YEAH RIGHT!
