34 Week prego Dr.'s Appt.


Friday February 23, 2007 was my 34 week pre-natal check up. It was awesome because Jake got to go with me. This was the first appt. that he got to go to. So Jake finally got to hear the baby's heartbeat. We were even lucky enough to get an ultrasound done also. Jake loved that one since the last ultrasound appt he couldn't go to =( My Dr. is really awesome. For being a military hospital...she's an awesome Dr. It was really nice to have Jake there to experience that part of the pregnancy.

Josiah goes to the Dr appt's also. He does really well. The Dr. lets Josiah put the gooey stuff on my belly and use the Doppler to hear the heart beat. He absolutely loves it. She is really good with him and Jake really likes her too. It's just so exciting to have a good dr especially in such a "personal" situation as pregnancy. We got two pictures printed at the appt - the top one is of Ocean's "manly" parts which I'm pointing too. The second picture is of his head and face as if your looking down at him. It's so exciting to see our little bundle of joy. We think he's about 5 lbs. right now so hopefully I will get my prayer answered and deliver a 6 lb 10 oz baby (got to be specific in your prayers right?!!!) And I'm guessing that I'll deliver at 39 weeks (last week of March) but we'll have to wait and see how accurate I am when the time comes. I really hope Ocean comes before 40 weeks. I would like to be early but even if I wasn't I'd @ least like to start labor on my own without being induced this time. That would be spectacular!

We got a crib for the baby now but we're waiting for the company to send us a piece so we can finish putting it together. The crib was given to us by Jake's boss so that was a great blessing!! Kookie is going to buy the bedding this week sometime. Once the nursery is completed I'll post pictures on here too. We are going to use a bassinet for the first couple of months so we don't need the crib ready right-away. Everything is coming together nicely so I'm excited.

I still can't believe that we are having another baby. That I'm gonna go through labor and delivery here pretty soon!!! It's just so .... WOW!!! More to come at a later time.
