I’m 9 months pregnant!!!

My weekly check up went well. Everything is still going well. I lost another ½ lb, which seems very weird to me because I’m eating like I should. But my Girl Scout cookies came in this week, so I’m sure Thursday, at my next appointment, I will see a gain, instead of a loss. She did the strep test on me and I should have the results back at my next appointment. She said if I do have strep, then they’ll just give me antibiotics during delivery. She also checked my cervics & they are still closed tight.

Steven & I went to an infant CPR class this week. It was a good class. I’m so glad we attended because we both learned a lot. I think it’s SO important to always be prepared, but the whole time we were in class I kept thinking, “I hope I never have to use any of this”.

I can tell I’m beginning to move a lot slower these days. I really don’t think I’ll make it to March 24. I’m hoping that I can at least make it one more week, then Brady will be full-term whenever he’s born. Steven thinks he’ll make his debut on March 8th because that’s when we’ll have the next full moon. I’m hoping for Spring Break…but we’ll just have to see. I still have a lot to do with his room, well, actually, Steven has to put some furniture together and put up the rods for his curtains…other than that, I’m pretty much done.

What I'm looking forward to: Finishing Brady’s nursery & infant CPR class

My weekly check up went well. Everything is still going well. I’m getting a little more uncomfortable but that’s to be expected. I’m trying to savor every second that’s left of this pregnancy because it’s getting so close to being over. I’m so excited & ready for Brady to be here, but I think in a way I’ll miss being pregnant with him because for a few more weeks…I have him all to myself. I think being pregnant is such a wonderful experience and I’m so thankful God blessed me with this pregnancy with Brady. I really can’t complain about one thing.

This week was also extra special because I found out one of my good friends, Lindsay, is expecting her own bundle of joy!!! I’m so happy for her & can’t wait to start reading about her pregnancy on her blog!

I bought a lot of decorations for Brady's nursery...and it's really coming together. I'm so excited to get it completely done. Hopefully that will happen before Brady arrives.

What I'm looking forward to: Finishing Brady’s nursery & my baby shower

My weekly check up went well. Brady is still measuring big (about a week & half); his heart rate was in the 140s. I lost a pound this week, which was surprising since I feel like I eat like a cow. I am, however, trying to eat much healthier, so maybe that’s why I haven’t really gained too much lately. We go back this coming week and I’ll have a ultrasound to see how big Brady is now. I’m excited to get to see him again, but I’m sure we won’t be able to tell much, now that he’s so big. Maybe I’ll get another good picture of him.

I went to a breastfeeding class this past week. Talk about eye-opener! I really thought I was going to breastfeed until I took that class, now I’m not so sure I can do it. I’m a very modest person and I just think it’s kind-of weird….but I’m not completely closed off to the idea….just questioning it a lot more now. I’m going to talk to my friends that have breastfed and see how it was for them. I also don’t like the idea that I’m not going to get much help with feeding him if I breastfeed…that will solely fall on me. Also, I like to go, a lot and I don’t know how breastfeeding will work for a mom on the go!? We’ll see….

I’m excited about my baby shower tomorrow. It’ll be fun to see my friend and family. I’ve already gotten so many nice gifts from people….we’re so blessed to have so many people who love us.

What I'm looking forward to: Finishing Brady’s nursery & my baby shower

My weekly check up went well. Brady is still measuring big (about a week & half); his heart rate was in the 140s. My doc checked my cervix and everything is still closed and Brady is still sitting up high… That was a relief because I’ve been a little worried about going into labor early. I guess my body is just getting ready for the big day because I can feel things starting to stretch and change.

I’m really looking forward to my baby shower next weekend. I’m SO excited that I’m going to get to see some sweet friends & family. I’m especially excited my best friend, Jessica, will be coming in from Mississippi to stay with me & attend the shower. My family from Houston is supposed to come up as well.
