All is Well

Thank you to all who have asked how the ultrasound on Friday went! :) I am happy to report that all is well on the home front! :) I am still measuring about 3 centimeters smaller than I should, but Miss Tyler is doing just fine. They estimate her current weight to be about 6lb40z with a ballpark birth weight in the "high sixes". She measured right on target for 36 weeks, had plenty of fluid.....and a full bladder....and is "in position"! :) It won't be too much longer now! I can't wait to meet her!
We head out Saturday for the Annual McCoy Lake Gaston Vacation. It will be an abbreviated one this year, as I need to save my time up for maternity leave, but it will be action packed, I am sure! Here's hoping Tyler won't make her arrival early, on the full moon, on the 7th, in the middle of vacation! :o)

Weekly Visits

Well, last Friday officially started my weekly appointments to the Dr. All in all, everything is still moving forward. My weight was on track, my blood preassure was a teensy bit high for me, and they say I am still measuring small..... :-( There are a whole host of things that may contribute to measuring small. Tyler could just be a tiny girl, she may have already sunk down low in my pelvis, among other things. I think it's because she is kinda in there all sideways and they are measuring me from top-to-bottom. I am no expert by any means, but she is just a moving around in there, so I am trying to not get all worked up about it! They have ordered an ultrasound for this Friday to see what the deal is.......They also mentioned something about checking my dates!!!! They better not readjust for further out! According to my calendar and the first two ultrasounds everything was right on the money for July 22......guess we will find out what the deal is in two days! I also want them to verify that we are having a baby girl. Her heart rate has kinda always been in the low "girl" range, and I don't really recall the Ultrasound Tech clearly pointing out anything on the ultrasound for us back in Feb. No to mention, a family member of a friend, who is also due in July, found out in Feb that they were having a girl......only to find out a few weeks ago, that "she" is a "HE"!!!! Yikes!!!! After the showers and room were all complete, no less!!!! So that is my little red flag. I am not 100% sure, and I WANT TO KNOW!!!!! Mark has said I would have some serious redecorating to do if that is the case! I have also started packing my bag for the hospital. I packed several "girly" onsies and a few white ones....just in case. Mark said he could deal if his son had to wear pink just for one day, if it came down to that! See, he is not really helping me out here!
We hope everyone is doing well, and I will let you know what they tell us on Friday!

Catching Up

So, I have let a few days slide since my last post......okay, so a few weekends. We spent part of our Memorial Day Weekend at Gigi's house on Lake Gaston, and had a blast!

Strangely enough, this reminds me of 4 other little girls that would float around for hours at Nag's Head in the '80s! :)
