36 Weeks

Hello to all! Happy 2010!!! I hope this year finds everyone happy, relaxed, and ready for anything!! I know I am! Speaking of...I will get on with it!

So, I had my 36 week appointment today. Maddux weighs 5 lbs. 14 oz. He is measuring about 37 centimeters across my belly. His measurements and all that seems to be just fine and well on their way. I am feeling great too....but, Maddux is moving a lot and he is making life a bit more uncomfortable! But, as of today, my doctor said she would probably induce labor if he kept growing the way he is (so giving me a due date of around Jan 24th). The other thing I want people to say little prayers for is the fact that I have a little too much amniotic fluid surrounding Maddux. My doctor isn't too concerned, but enough to have an unltra sound every week from now on. Evidently, it is common in justational diabetics like me, but it can cause complications and pre term labor. So, just say a little prayer for us that the fluid goes down before I have my next ultra on Monday!

Now on to the fun stuff!! We had a great Christmas dinner here at our house. It was super sad being away from my family in Texas....but it was really fun to host dinner and to finally get to use my crystal and china for the first time! Dinner was a success and Sam did a great job smoking his turkey and ham! Everything was delicious!

As far as Maddux's room goes....we got his crib and our glider from our fabulous friends and family! My parents are getting us our stroller and car seat as well! So, now all we have left to get is a new car for the baby to travel home safe in! If you know of anyone selling a used SUV, let us know!

We also had a NYE party, which stressed out Sam. Not me, of course, because I am no help at all around here lately! It was a fun party and I cannot believe it is already 2010. Not only that, but I cannot believe that Maddux could be here in less than 4 weeks!! Yikes, I so hope I am ready!! Well, until next time! Again, Happy New Year!

Oh and btw....I am adding one of the unfinished pictures of Maddux's room. Just keep in mind, we will have decor on the walls, bedding in the crib, and

maybe even a carpet on the carpet! I'm so excited.....it is really coming together and looks so cute!!
