Anderson's a REALLY BIG Boy!

I went for my 34 week appointment today and had another ultrasound. My doctor wanted to get another estimate on how big Anderson has gotten since the ultrasound 4 weeks ago. Well needless to say Anderson is HUGE! I am still measuring 4 weeks ahead and they estimate that he weighs 7 lbs 2 oz already and I'm 6 weeks from my due date!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everything looks great. All his organs are perfect and the amniotic fluid levels are good. My vitals and urine checks continue to be normal and the doctors are happy with my weight gain so far. I am starting to feel anxious about labor and delivery. The unknowns like when I'll go into labor, how big Anderson will actually be, and if I'll be able to deliver him vaginally are really overwhelming. I know it will all work out how God plans. All I want is my boy to be healthy and happy. I am becoming increasingly uncomfortable and sleeping at night is more difficult. My back hurts often and I get tired easily but nothing I can't handle. I have bad sciatic nerve pain down my right leg especially when I lay down to sleep. My hips are definitely tired of being slept on! My baby boy is so worth it! We video taped the ultrasound today and got some really good pictures. Anderson is definitely a boy! Dawn, the ultrasound tech made sure to point out his "Anderson parts"! We are so excited. My next visit is in two weeks, then I will go weekly until he's born. The plan is still to go into labor on my own, God willing. We'll just have to wait and see how our handsome boy decides to enter the world! Hugs and kisses!

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!

Yesterday I went and bought the baby's stroller, car seat, and extra base with the money Chris' parents sent. It's really nice. Chris and I spent a long time trying out all the stroller options and liked this one the best. Today I took Mic for his first walk with the stroller and he did a great job! I thought he might pull or get scared of the stroller wheeling next to him so I wanted to practice before Anderson's born. Mic was a pro! He didn't pull at all and not once did we get tangled up. It was like he knew just want to do! He has been great the whole pregnancy. He has become even more protective of me and sleeps in the baby's room next to the crib all the time. It's like he know what is going on. I think it will be a hard adjustment for him when the baby's born but I know he'll be fine. Thanks Mom and Dad Fite for the stroller. Can't wait for you guys to get here!

Anderson's Room is FINALLY ready!

We finally finished decorating the baby's room today. All the furniture is in place and I have washed and organized most of the clothes. Now all we need is our baby boy!!!! We are so excited and can't wait to meet him! I think his room turned out sooooo cute. It is definitely the perfect room for a baby boy! Sports everywhere, which is just the way we wanted it! Hope you like the pictures. Again sorry that some of them are sideways I'm lucky that I could get them to upload with my slow computer! I'm just glad I can share my thoughts and pictures with you. Love and miss you all!

6 Weeks to Go!!!

I can't believe I am 34 weeks already! I am excited and nervous. The anticipation of the unknown is very scary but I'm ready. As the days go by I fall more and more in love with my little boy. I can't wait to meet Anderson! He is so active. Christopher has felt some major kicks here lately. I love watching his face when my belly jumps. I'm glad he is able to experience the wonder of being able to feel Anderson moving all around. As Anderson grows I am getting more and more uncomfortable. He definitely ran out of room a long time ago but he keeps growing! Sleeping has become less restful. I totally agree that your body has it's ways of preparing you for the sleepless nights once the baby is born. My next doctor's appointment is Tuesday. We will have another ultrasound done to measure how big Anderson is now. I can't wait to see what they say! Everyone keeps telling me I look like I could pop any day!!!! Well I'm at work as usual and have to run. Love and miss you all!
