A fantastic visit.....

So today was the day that I had been waiting for with great anticipation......my first baby checkup with my new doctor. I had heard many awesome things.....one being that she induces so you don't have huge babies......I was afraid to get my hopes up......not anymore. We had a great checkup and the shock factor was priceless as we went over previous births and the sizes of my babies. She drew a few exclamation marks after Jacob's information went down. We discussed my last 2 inductions and my concerns going into this pregnancy and she told me not to worry that I would not be making it until my due date and we would follow baby's size and fluid levels closely. Yahoo!!!! My fears of a 12 lb baby have left......I go back in another 4 weeks to see her. I also got to hear baby's heartbeat which was awesome. I never got to hear my other kids until I had my first ultrasound so it was a nice treat to hear and to know that everything sounds good!!

Hopefully the time will pass quickly.....I'm looking forward to my weekend getaway in 2 weeks and then we are into Halloween mode. Jake wants to be a vampire so we are going to try to make him a cape. I have aspirations of great sewing projects on my sewing machine but just don't have the time to learn it all yet. Hopefully I can find an easy cape pattern or I'll have to get Jeff to make it......he's good at that stuff!!! So we have some fun, busy times ahead and I'm excited for it all. Getting my energy back slowly but surely.......it's been hard babysitting but I enjoy it ( most of the time) and the extra pocket money helps. Hopefully over time Georgia will like having a friend here......she's still not so sure about it. We are off to run the roads tomorrow for diapers and groceries.......fun times........I commend Christina for doing it on a bike, especially when so far along in your pregnancy.....I'm a wimp and will be taking my car. You are my hero!!


One last congrats out to JJ & Sheldon on the birth of their baby girl.....born today....7lbs 7oz.....Mila Jean. Glad that the waiting is over for JJ and hope everyone is doing well. Can't wait to see some pictures of her......I'm sure she's a cutie pie!!! Until next time........enjoy life and have fun...................

That`s good to know! maybe just maybe you`ll have an 8 lbs baby or even smaller...don`t know if you`d know what to do with such a baby!! Wish I didn`t have to wait until my due date!!

8lbs is a little small for me.....I'd still like around 9lbs.....we'll see what the doctor says, she'll be following it closely later on in the game, just super happy that she will not let me go over or close to it!!!

So glad to hear that your doctor's appointment went well! She sounds great! Even better to hear that a 12lb baby is out of the question! I keep forgetting that Halloween is going to be here so soon...the time really has been flying since I got over here. Jake as a vampire will be cool. What do the girls want to be? Good luck with the babysitting! And let me know about the Ikea mission hahaha :)
