37 weeks!!!!

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would see 37 weeks!  Well, here I am!!!  I am so excited, but I must remain calm.  No Toyota jumps are in my plans, although it is tempting.  I really would like to make it to November!  We are having a small Halloween party at my house tonight.  Stephen and the kids dressing up as, well you will have to see, and me...well, dressing up as a Tae Kwon Do yellow belt.  (If the outfit fits...wear it)  I didn't plan me a costume since I didn't believe I would make it this far, and thought more about resting as per Dr.'s orders and getting ready for baby than Halloween or a party.
Tonight's dinner is going to be Chocolate Chip Pumpkin pancakes!  (I feel confident in planning at least that far ahead.) 
Onward and Upward!!! May I just say... TO NOVEMBER OR BUST!!!  ;)

36 Weeks!

Hooray, I am 36 weeks today, and no baby... he is happy as a clam inside I guess.  He is just wiggling in anticipation of meeting all of us, and wanting to get out and play with his brothers.  Wow he is really wiggly!  (I am in no hurry for him to get here.)  Come on baby!!!  You can be full term in just 1 more week.  :)

We still haven't agreed on a name for this little monkey.  I suppose that is why he is waiting... Any ideas?  There are so many I like, and Stephen doesn't, and one Stephen likes that I don't...the baby name dilemma kicks into high gear this week.

Oct 9th

Let's just say... No baby yet and a great big HOORAY!!!
Yes, this is the day... if the baby was going to be earlier than Cody he lost his chance.
(He could still go for a tie, but I hope not...because that is only hours away...)
Today is 1 month and 2 days before my due date, the same amount of time
that our dear Cody decided he wanted to make his appearance.
So... 
Dear Baby, (Who still has not gotten a name picked yet, besides "Baby Boo")
We sure hope that you are going to beat out Skyler at 3 weeks early,
(that would be Oct. 21)
and Stephen at 2 weeks early
(That would be Oct. 30)
We are aiming for November... yes, NOVEMBER, as in the month I am due, would be very appreciated.
Thank you,
Love,
♥ MOMMY  ♥
Next NST is Tuesday Morning... once a week appointments with the Dr. have begun... House is a mess...lol... but Baby clothes are washed and put away.
Oh yes, I think it is nap time.  ☺  Thank you for all your prayers!  ♥

October 6th

Hooray hooray!  Today is October 6th, and no baby yet!  This is in fact very exciting.  For every day that he isn't here yet, I think I should throw a party.  (Ok, so I have... my boys are getting an overload of ice cream or other treats, a visit to the library, visiting old preschool teachers...we are trying to do something fun each day this baby decides to stay where he is...but without me overdoing it.)  I seriously thought he would come Conference weekend, and I was pretty freaked out by that.  Looks like he didn't want to follow his brother's plan of at least a week earlier than the big brother before him.  (Good because we haven't agreed on a name for him yet.)
I have had a growth ultrasound recently, and a NST (Non stress test) for a few weeks in a  row now... Everything looks good, baby is right on, if not a bit ahead.  His head measured 35 weeks, tummy 34 weeks and femur 36 weeks,(these measurements were taken 2 days before 34 weeks).  It means he is tall, and well nourished.  (in other words, the placenta is doing it's job without a sign of a problem.)  Everything looks fantastic!
We will try to keep you up to date on the new addition.
