37 weeks ...whew.....

Hi All:

Hope everyone is enjoying their November and getting ready for TURKEY DAY. I am so ready to eat all the yummy turkies and fixings that the EADS bring to the table!! So excited!!

I had my 1st 37th week doctor appt today and have another one on Thursday for my bi-weekly appointments. All went well. I am still measuring in at 34 cm so still small as I should be 37 this week but overall I am right one track. I gained 2 lbs so up to 164. Yikes....I will have about 30 to lose when I deliver and I know Chris already has some big workout plans for us. GOD HELP ME NOW!!!
We did the stress test again where they track the heartbeat and the contractions and although I had minimul if no contractions for the 20minutes I was on the machine, Baby C was one wild one. She averages 145-165 for her HB but today she was like 165-180 ..even hitting a few times 182. The doctor said I must have pissed her off.
Her head was down again on the ultrasound, her butt to the left and her knees and legs/feet to the right. I could actually feel her today, during her wild moments on the right. I loved it.

I did test positive for Group B Strep but I guess it is quite common for women to have this bacteria and what it means is that during labor and delivery, they will start me on antibiotics to reduce the transfer from me to Baby C during the actual delivery. I read about it online this wknd and got a little freaked out, even call Tina to help with some home remedies (THANKS GIRLS) but the doctor today said not to worry. It is nothing to worry about it at all and knowing I have it is key to not tranferring it. Whew....

I will try to take some more photos of the nursery once we get up the shelving and such as we have a few things to it and added some things as well. Her closet is full and her room is packed with things to play with for years to come. Thanks again everyone for all you gave her and I. We are blessed.

Chris is on his way home. Trekking through Texas right about now. We bought a new Buick Enclave SUV and he said the ride has been smooth sailing and he loves the car.I personally cannot wait to see it. He took off from Pscola last night after his final dinner as team 2010 and got a few hours in, then slept and now back on the road. He is hoping to be home sweet home by Wed if not sooner. HURRY HOME HONEY but come home safe!!!

I start my Maternity Leave on Thursday although I am probably working through most of it except during delivery and down time after the birth. For us in Sales, we dont really have the time to take off and not respond to customers so wish me luck.

Quick shout out to Shana who is due a week earlier than I am. We are now emailing and keeping in touch as we seem to have some of the same last 2weeks symptoms and we are both ready for our babies to come!!! BEST OF LUCK SHANA and JEFF! Keep us posted on your arrival and we will do the same.

That is it for now!!! Have a great week. More updates soon!!
