Bump Report: 38 Weeks

Happy Friday! The two week countdown has begun and I'm freaking out! Ok, not really, I'm so excited to see her and the anticipation is killing me but at the same time I'm just trying to enjoy the days that Ashby and I have together before Miss Bailey makes her debut.

I had a Doctors appointment on Thursday, so no progress but Bailey is pretty low.  She also kicked when the doctor was examining me, which is a good thing.  Apparently, they tickle the babies heads during labor sometimes to get their heart rate up, so it was a good sign that she did that already.  Dr. Tate and I discussed the plan for if we get to the 24th and still haven't had her. I'm scheduled for an ultrasound, non stress test and an exam on the 24th and then we will take it from there. Dr. Tate did tell me she doesn't want me to go more than a few days over the due date, and that hopefully by making the extra ultrasound and non stress test appointment I won't really need them, because I will have already had her! I also got the TDap shot while I was there, to prevent whooping cough.  I got it in my left arm, thinking because I'm left handed that I'd use that arm more and it wouldn't hurt as much, it still hurts : (

At about 1:00pm for the past two days I've been having, what I think are minor contractions, nothing serious, no labor, but it helps me to keep a positive attitude that she may be here before the 24th!

The hospital bag is packed, the nursery is put together, we've got diaper and wipes.  Fingers crossed everyone : )

This past week I finally finished the tshirt quilt.  Never again will I ever make another one.  I think it's the hardest project I've ever taken on, but I'm glad I did it.  It's very warm, with a flannel backing and I know we will love it forever.
