Well, we've been neglecting your blog Peanut...so it's time for an update. I was hoping then next post would include pictures, but that's going to have to wait!
We're getting closer and closer to your arrival. We're just 11 weeks away! And can not wait. We had our ultrasound at the "Big House" and thank you for being so cooperative. And thank you for giving your father something to smile about. He was very please when the ultrasound tech repeated "yes, those are his boy parts!" We're so excited about welcoming our little son soon!
We had our follow up doctor's appointment today, and JoJean reassured us that you were PERFECT! You're growing well, still in about the 60th percentile for growth and your heartbeat is strong. Unfortunately my blood sugar test didn't come back as we had hoped. So I am off to the hospital for a 3 hour fasting sugar test. Hopefully it comes back o.k. and we can escape gestational diabetes. My blood pressure is VERY good though, so that's a bonus. JoJean said several times she thought it might be earlier than 11 weeks...while I'm excited to meet you, I'm also very nervous, so feel free to come when you're ready ;-)
I have a consult with an anesthesiologist tomorrow to talk about my options for medication during delivery and should we need a c-section. I'm super nervous about that!
We go back in 3 weeks, then it's every 2 weeks until 36 weeks when we'll start going every week. It's getting so close. I've already scheduled my time off. I'm going to start my time off on November 16, hopefully to get some rest before you arrive. If not, I'll gladly spend that time with you. I also officially picked the doctor that will be delivering you today. JoJean can only see us until 36 weeks, so after that we're going to see Dr. Kutsche.
We've got the house ready for you...just need to get your room in order. Grandma Mayhew bought your crib when she was home last, we just need to put it together. And daddy is going to get started on your dresser soon. You'll have some history when you get here, your dresser was your Grampy Carter's when he was little and then mine...and now it will be yours. Daddy is going to sand it and refinish it so it looks brand new for you! Aunt Caitlin also sent home all of your bedding with Aunt Emily and Aunt Roo when they went to visit.
We're having a baby shower on Oct. 11 too! Both daddy and I are excited to see lots of family and friends and to share you with them! We're going to take your pictures in and maybe even print your little blog out to share.
Daddy has been singing to you lately, and talks to you a lot now. He likes to sing the I'm a little teapot song, but replace teapot with peanut. If you're short and stout, blame him :) He's also getting quite bold with the things he's saying to your mommy...he's lucky I have a sense of humor! Lately he's told me my swollen toes look like vienna sausages, and when he was trying to feel you kick he told me my belly jiggled when you kicked. And just today when the nurse was making our appointment with the anesthesiologist and she told her my BMI he whispered, that means you're a little chunky! Silly daddy, he'll learn soon enough :)
Well sweet Peanut...we're going to head to bed. I'll try to get pictures posted of your room soon! We love you and can't wait to meet you!

Hey Moses!!! What's up!!! The heck with the Peanut nonsense, we might as well call you by your real name:) Ok, Ok, I'm just kidding. They won't tell me your real name, so I am now calling you "Moses". I think it is a great name!
ReplyDeleteSo, now the reality sets in, time to talk to the real doctors, check out the real hospital, sign up for the real birthing classes, and get the real "baby's room" ready. I thought it was real when they told me they were expecting you Moses, but I guess the reality of it all just sunk in.
I love your daddy!! He is so funny, he balances your mommy's hormonal mood swings well. I hope you acquire some of both personalities!
Eleven weeks and counting. Hope you don't start gaining 1 lb. a week or you will be a really big boy. Isn't that the pits, I am already talking diets to you:( Okay, Grammy will straighten up. My arms are ready any time you are, so are my kisses and hugs. Moses you just take your sweet time and make sure you are ready when you come, cuz you can't go back once you are out!!
I can hardly wait, 11 weeks will fly by.
Hugs, kisses, skwishes,
Grammy
