Anderson's a BIG boy!

Sorry it has been so long since I've updated my blog. There is so much to tell. Christopher and I have been really busy with work and getting the house ready for Anderson's arrival. We also have traveled alot lately. Time is just flying by! I have had two doctors appointments since my last blog. I went July 15th for my 28th week appointment. Everything was progressing great. It was at that appointment that the doctor told me that I would need an ultrasound so they could get an estimate on Anderson's weight. He is growing like a weed! I have been measuring 2-3 weeks ahead and they wanted to see just how big he is. Yesterday was my 30 week appointment. We had the ultrasound done first. I was awesome to see how big our baby boy is! His heart rate was 150. All his organs look good and the amniotic fluid level is normal. They are estimating that he weighs 4 lbs 12 oz!!!!!!!! That means at just over 30 weeks he is the size of a 35 week baby! The doctors think that he will be at least 9 pounds! I can't believe it! I am starting to get nervous about labor and delivery. Just pray my pelvis can do its job so I don't have to have a C-section. If I keep measuring this big, if there are any complications, or they are worried I can't make it to 39 weeks I will have to have an amniocentesis to check Anderson's lung development and may need to be induced. Everyone pray that I can make it to at least 39 weeks without complications and that even though he may be huge, I'll be able to deliver him vaginally. Love you all! I'm at work so I have to run. Hugs and Kisses!

Setting up Anderson's room

Time is flying by and I feel like I should have way more done than what I do. We finally have furniture in Anderson's room. The crib and changing table/dresser unit have been in for about a week and today Chris and I put together the bookcase I bought to match. Everything looks great! I need to wash the bedding from Nana and Papaw and get in in the crib. My shower is coming up soon. Invitations are on the way! I am trying to organize what we already have so that it will be easier to put away the shower gifts! I bought some baskets for the shelves in the closet to hopefully help with organization. I also bought a really nice wicker laundry basket that goes well with all the wood furniture. I can't believe that in less than 3 months Anderson will be here! I can't wait to see him. I already love him so much!

Just an Update

Today I went for a nurse visit. I had to take my glucose tolerance test and get my Rhogam shot. Things went smoothly. I thought I may get sick after drinking that disgustingly sweet drink but after a few minutes the nausea went a way. Sitting in the waiting room for an hour was boring but I got to talk with other moms-to-be so the time went by faster. The Rhogam shot stung a little but nothing I couldn't handle. The nurse said no news is good news so I'm hoping not to get a phone call before my next doctor's appointment on July 15th. Anderson will be here before we know it! The time is just flying by!
