Weekly Update

We had our doctors appointment yesterday and everything was just fine. Jayci is still moving a lot and the doctor mentioned that since she is getting bigger that her movements may start to get less because she doesn't have as much room to move around but up to this point that isn't the case...she is a mover!!! We have our next appointment on the 25th and I start my maternity leave on the 29th of September and won't go back to work until the 29th of December. Hopefully by starting my maternity leave a few days before her due date this will give me some time to get in some rest before she arrives. Oh we had our child birthing class Monday night and learned a lot and we also got to take a tour of the hospital and it was nice to see the labor and delivery room and get familiar with where everything is before the time comes so that way it won't be all new to us when the time comes to have her.

Last Friday my co-workers had a baby shower for me and it turned out wonderfully! There was a lot to eat and we received many nice things. Here is the link to the pictures from the shower:

Another trip to the doctor and a baby shower!

Yesterday we started our weekly appointments and everything was fine. The swelling in my feet and ankles has gone down a lot and if I can stay off of my feet then it should stay that way...hopefully! We go back on the 18th and Dr Cooper said that now is the time to start looking out for signs of early labor and I have to admit that as long as she is healthy Jayci could be born today and I would be a happy camper...giggle. I am getting more and more uncomfortable everyday and I am now starting to second guess if I can work up until the day she is born. Right now I am just taking it day by day and hopefully I can at least make it through to the end of next week.

Today my co-workers are throwing me a shower here at work so I am very excited about that and will post how that went.

Love to everyone!

Dr's Visit

Today was my 36 week Dr's appointment and this time I had to take a strep test and my Dr also gave me some news that I really didn't want to hear...she wants to put me on bed rest for the next 5 days!! She said that my feet and ankles are very swollen and that I need to stay off of them. I am at work right now but will take tomorrow off and of course I will have the weekend and then I may be out of work on Monday as well but we will just see if the swelling goes down by then. Other than that Jayci's heartbeat sounded great and she is still moving quite a bit so now we are down to going to the doctor once a week.
