Funny Baby!

We had another check this Wednesday and everything is still looking good. I was dilated to a 2 and 65% effaced. I think I was either a 2 or 3 and 70% effaced when they started me with Hunter, so I figured I was doing pretty good! My doctor was out of town for spring break so his PA (I think that's what she is) did the check, but nobody knew for sure what his plans were as far as starting me. He had told me several weeks ago that if we got to 37 weeks he would probably start me, and I will be 37 weeks on Monday so it could be soon! Our ultrasound was so funny! The baby had it's legs crossed and was bent in half! I took a pic of my pic of the ultrasound so hopefully you can tell. The pic is a profile of the baby and you can see it's little toes touching it's forehead! I was trying hard not to laugh so I wouldn't bounce her equipment around but I couldn't help it! Here's the pic see if you can tell:

I'm Ready!

It's official I'm ready! It's been 3 1/2 weeks since they put me on bed rest and I have been doing pretty good at staying down. I think I've had enough though! I'm in a nesting mood but I'm not supposed to get up how is that supposed to work! I have been able to get some of the stuff done, with the help of family of course! I finally got my vinyl put on my wall (with the help of my little sister) and finally got our family pictures on the wall (Ben hung them after me and Kira decided where to put them) and we finally got our TV put on the desk (Ben's brother came and helped with that) I LOVE how my living room looks now! The saddest part is that I have had the desk for about a year, we got the pictures done in August, and the vinyl has been ready somewhere in between those two! I was really stressed that we weren't going to get the family pictures up til after the baby came and by the time I actually did it, we may have new pictures! So luckily I have my family that helped me do it cuz if I waited for me to do it on my own it might never have happened!

We had another weekly doctors appt on Wednesday. I now have them set at times that Ben can come with me since we aren't having to work around my work schedule anymore. And can I say I'm and so glad! They ended up checking me a week early! I would hate to have one of those visits without him! It seems like ever time I go in now they end up doing something extra to me, we had the same ultrasound, stress test, and listening to the heart beat that they did last week. Then they also did a strep test (which they didn't have me do with Hunter, yuck!) and he checked me and I'm pretty sure he stripped my membranes. He didn't say but I have never had a check hurt, it's just always uncomfortable, but this time it KILLED! I kept bringing my hand up to slap the doctor away but managed to control myself, that would have been pretty embarrassing if I ended up hitting him :) All in all everything is still going pretty good, my blood pressure was high again when I got there but they had me lay down and it was even lower than it ever has been lately! And there is plenty of fluid for the baby, and the stress test has showed the baby is doing great both weeks! Now it's just getting me through the next 2 weeks or so! Ben has had to tell me to go lay down several times in the last couple days! The warmer weather has finally started to get my feet to swell a little bit (no where near what they were with Hunter! I didn't have ankles!) so probably the worst time that I could stop being good about laying down! We will make it though, just a little longer then we will have our baby. YAY!

It has taken me the entire pregnancy to finally pick a car seat. We were in our accident with the one we had for Hunter and you aren't supposed to use them once they have been in an accident, Hunter only had a little longer til he was going to be in an upright car seat so we still used it for him. And it was totally a boy car seat anyways, so I had to find a car seat that would work for either!

Hunter has decided it's his new seat! He keeps sitting in it and I keep reminding him that it's the babies so hopefully he won't get sad when there is someone else sitting in it!

The box that it came in is also his! He has been so funny with it, he put a ton of toys in it, a huge blanket, and a pillow and still managed to squeeze in there with everything! It has also become a slide cuz when he gets on top it bends in and he slides on down!

And here is the scary monster! He is so funny!
