Today we had our 36wk appt. Everything looked good. Baby girl is measuring 2 wks ahead and weighed in at an estimated 7lbs 11oz!!! We got to see her on the 4-D and saw her cheeks...they're nice and chubby!!! Unfortunately she had her face covered with her arm so we couldn't see much...but what we did see was precious!!
Please keep us in your prayers that she will come on her own...if I'm not showing any progress in 2 weeks, doc wants to discuss c/s possibilities. Yikes!! Not too worried yet...there's still plenty of time for me to go into labor and her weight is just an estimate.
Bottom line, no matter when/how she gets here...she looks healthy and we're both doing well!! Jonathan and I are SOOOOO eager to get her here!! Come on baby girl!!!!

Funny trip to L&D
Jonathan and I finished our last parenting class Tuesday (5/20) and wanted to stop by and visit our friend who had her baby on Monday. We walk up the the nurses station and they asked me my name and asked me to sign in. I'm an idiot and think they make visitors do this, Jonathan catches on that they think I'm checking in to have the baby!
So we laugh and I explain that no, I'm not in labor and I'm just here to visit. The nurses all look shocked, ask when I'm due and again are shocked that I'm not there to have my baby. So...even the nurses think I'm about to pop my baby out at any moment.
As we left to see our friend, I said "I hope to see yall soon for the real thing!"

Baby girl update
Still no name...but baby girl is growing and doing well! At our last appt. we continued to measure ahead so doc has ordered a growth ultrasound. I can't wait to see her again!!!!! Jonathan and I were both long babies...SO I'm hoping she's BIG in the length and not in the weight!
Those who see me in person are always shocked at how much longer I have left b/c of the sheer size of my belly. She is poking straight out and I often wonder just how much bigger 1 baby can get! My mom keeps asking me if they're sure there's just one...sometimes I wonder the SAME thing!! At 32 weeks, my belly was measuring 48" around. Yep...I am now 4' around. NEVER thought I'd say that about myself!
Tomorrow we have our prenatal appt with baby girl's pediatrician. I'm a little nervous and weirded out by this. A pediatrician...it just keeps more and more real! :o)
OH and tomorrow, May 8th, I will be 34 weeks. Only 6 more weeks until my due date. It just doesn't seem possible!!! :o)

BIG milestone!!
Back in February I hit a big milestone. I've managed to keep a plant alive for 2 years!
Background:
I am SO bad at keeping plants alive, that I don't even have a 'thumb.' You hear of green thumbs and black thumbs, I'm no thumbs. I have managed to kill cactus and bamboo. Both VERY durable until left in my care.
So back in Feb of 06, a good friend of ours brought me a housewarming plant. I thought...poor think doesn't stand a chance.
Here we are over 2 years later and said plant is alive and well!! I'm honestly shocked!! I currently have 2 living plants in our house...I think the other is coming up on it's 2 year anniversary and it's doing really well. It still amazes me most days that they are both still living and when I see new little baby leaves, I get really excited!
Next step...Azaleas in the front yard. GULP. We'll see how this goes :o)
