36 Weeks

Today I went for the 36 week check up. From here on out I'll go every week! Blood pressure is 110/62, Sydney's heart rate is 150-160 bpm, and I've gained another 2.5 pounds in the last 2 weeks. My total weight gain is about 22.5 lbs. News to report: Sydney has dropped, I've dilated to 1 cm, and I'm 50% effaced. So, we're making progress and off to a great start!

Hopefully by the end of the week I will have some nursery pictures to post. I am determined to have it finished this week!

Please continue to keep us in your prayers.

34 Weeks

Today I went for my 34 week check up. Everything is good. I've gained about 2 pounds in 2 weeks, so I'm right on track. Measured 34 weeks. Sydney's heart rate is 150-160 bpm. My bp is 110/70. So, great check up. We go back in 2 weeks and then weekly appointments.

We've been working on the nursery. Still have lots to do, but it's becoming more like a nursery. We've had a few things that didn't work out with the dimensions of the room, crib, etc. so we've had to rework some things, but all in all everything is looking good. I'll post some pictures when we get it done. Hopefully after this weekend, we'll be almost finished.

We have our next parenting/birthing class this weekend. At least this one is only 2 hours long and not all day. It's the coping skills class, so we'll be practicing our breathing techniques. :) Then the following week we have infant CPR training.

Check back in another week or two for updates.

Home Church Shower

Sunday we had a shower at my home church, Pleasant Hill #2 Church. We were definitely showered with many pretty things for our baby girl. She got lots of clothes and other essentials such as her diaper bag, accessories for her room, and lots of bath items. Everyone was so generous and thoughtful. Sydney is already a very blessed girl.

Family and Friends Shower in Albertville

This shower was at my Grandmother's house in Albertville. Sydney got lots of cute things from all the family and friends that came. She got lots of pretty knitted clothes and blankets, lots of other cute clothes, diapers, bath items, her crib mobile, her bouncer, some toys and accessories for her room, and much much more.

Enjoy the pictures.

32 Week Visit

Today I had my 32 week doctor's visit. Baby Sydney's heart rate is 140-150 bpm and is doing well. My blood pressure and other levels are great and my belly is measuring 32 weeks. I have gained 17-18 pounds since the beginning of the pregnancy and the doctor is thrilled with that. I go back in two weeks and then two weeks after that. Then, I'll start going every week beginning the first week of September. Approximately 8 more weeks to go!!!

Saturday, July 31 we had our first shower for Sydney. My dad's side of the family hosted the shower at my aunt Kim and uncle Joe's house. We had a great time! The food was delicious and the games Lisa planned were a lot of fun! We got lots of nice things, i.e. Sydney's swing, highchair, diaper genie, pack-n-play, lots of adorable clothes, and diapers. Thanks to everyone who helped with the shower and all those who came!
