Doctors Appointment

We had our 36 1/2 week appointment today and it went really well! She said my glucose test came back normal and my blood pressure and weight are normal also. I still have not dilated and Dr. Flowers said the baby is up pretty high in there. She said I am measuring 2 weeks early and wants to do another ultrasound in 2 weeks (at 38 1/2 weeks) to see exactly how big the baby is. She did think I was pretty funny when I asked her what we could do to start labor and she said "if I knew that I would be a very popular lady!" So we go back next Friday the 5th for my regular weekly appointment then the following Friday the 12th she will do another ultrasound. We will see what she says then!
I'm hanging in there and have been enjoying the pool...ALOT! The time has come when I can't reach my feet so I got Nick to paint my toes last night and he did a surprisingly excellent job! I'm milking it for all it's worth right now!

36 Weeks!

The belly is getting pretty heavy!

Nick teaching our neighbors puppies to swim and fetch!

Today we went to Grapevine Lake with our friends! Nick wanted to see if the puppies could swim and they did so good...they are naturals! They are only 9 weeks old and already love the water!

We are in the final home stretch with only 4 weeks until the baby makes his entrance into the world and we are getting VERY anxious! We did find a good pediatrician and will meet him this week. Looking forward to our Doctors appt on Friday!

No Progress

We had our weekley Doctor's appointment this morning and she said everything looks good! I still have not dropped or dialated! Boo!! I'm thrilled that the baby is healthy, but wish i had some progression at this point. I had the glucose test again and will know those results in a couple of days. So for now we just wait and hope there will be some changes next week! My belly is still expanding and my feet are swollen...ahhh the joys of pregnancy! Our next Dr. appt is Friday at 11:30!
Everyone have a Wonderful Memorial Day Weekend!

35 Weeks

35 Weeks and Counting!

Gaylord Texan Resort

My very strong husband wrestling a steer at the Gaylord Texan...too bad it wasn't real!!

Our friends Alicia and Stephen who live next to us!

This is the pool at the Gaylord Texan...it was BEAUTIFUL!

This is a picture of the entrance of the Resort!


We had a great night out Thursday...much needed! We went to one of the restautants called the Glass Cactus and listened to a few bands and it was so funny that everyone dances the Texas Two Step to all music! Nick thinks he can do it from watching, but I didn't want to embarress ourselves! Ha Ha!

The baby has been VERY active! We have a couple pictures of the ultrasound we had on Friday and Nick thinks he has his nose and cheek bones. Just like our 20 week ultrasound he had his hands up by his face rubbing his eyes and sucking his hands...the ultrasound tech told us to make sure we have pacifiers! We could be in trouble because Nick said he sucked his thumb til he was 9!! Nick thinks we should go out on the boat alot and hit some waves to get this labor in progression and I think I'll try anything just so I don't go over!

Chunky Monkey!

We had our Doctors appt this morning and she said everything looked great, we have a BIG healthy baby boy! He weighs 6 pounds 10 ounces and is in the 80th percentile! Woah...they might have to take this baby out a different way! We had a ultrasound and she checked me and said I haven't dropped yet or dialated. She said I am measuring 3 weeks earlier and wants to do another Glucose test just to make sure I haven't developed Gestational Diabetes. So from now on I go in every week and my next appt is Friday at 9am. I really liked my new OB, she was very nice and seemed like she genuinely cares! We also got to take a tour of the hospital and it was really nice and the staff was great! So hopefully little Talon Asher cooperates and comes a little early so I can get him out myself!

Loving the Pool!

These are a few pictures taken at our pool! This week has been pretty HOT in the upper 80's so the pool feels great! Nick has been able to hang out with me in the afternoon and work in the evenings...most people are not home during the day to knock doors so he usually leaves around 3! Luckily I have had lots to do lately and have not been bored yet!

We are going to a big resort tonight (The Gaylord Texan) with our neighbors to listen to live music and have appetizers at their restaurant called the Glass Cactus! I'm looking forward to it and might get a little crazy and have a VIRGIN Strawberry Daquiri...YUM!!

34 Weeks!

34 WEEKS TODAY!

We're getting there! Luckily I have had a very easy pregnancy and am counting down til the big day! I think the baby is moving down because my hips have started to get sore. We have his room ready and can't wait to try out all his new things! Daddy talks to him a lot and he really responds to Nick's voice! Our first OB appt is on Friday morning and we are looking forward to it! Thanks to everyone for all their support!

We Made It!

Dad and I arrived in Grapevine Tuesday afternoon! We drove 700 miles on Monday and another 300 on Tuesday. Luckily we had great weather and no traffic...what more could you ask for? Nick had most of the boxes put away except for the clothes, which were a mess, but mission accomplished! Our apartment is beautiful and the pool is one that you could find at a resort...I LOVE it! Nick, Dad and I went to Target and got the rest of the baby stuff we needed so I feel sooo much more prepared! My first Doctors appt here is next Friday at 8:30am and I am looking forward to meeting my new OB! I will post pictures soon of the apartment and baby's room as soon as I have time!

Baby Showers

These are pictures from my first shower that my best friends Leah and Leslie had last weekend!

Woa, big belly!

My mom and Lila

Today was my second baby shower with my family! My sister had it at Serendipity Tea Room in Carmel...it was so nice! The food was to die for and we got TONS of gifts for the baby! He's spoiled already!

Nick is settled in Texas and waiting my arrival on Tuesday...oh what a drive! Dad and I are leaving Monday morning!

Hope all is doing well!
