1/5/10......
our due date is in one month....2/5/10....
i cant believe how close it is!
i am both excited and a little sad....
excited to finally meet this little baby~ that we have been waiting for for 3 1/2 years! to hold the baby, to snuggle the baby, to spend sleepless nights with the baby! to start the new chapter of "matt and jenn"...with baby!
a little sad...i will miss the in-utero hiccups, the movements, the karate kicks to my poor little ribs on the right....having the baby all to myself! (you mean i will have to share this peanut?!!?)
oh...and a little anxious about....labor! not really anxious, but i have realized that this bundle of joy, 82% in size,....does have to come out! hummmm. 2 options, vaginal or c/section....can we have a 3rd option???? like osmosis!?!? wouldnt that be cool! i would be first in line!


we just came home from a dr appt....i go weekly starting now.... next friday and then every friday after that....until baby decides to come out!
HR was 147.
measuring 35 weeks, right on, with the tape measure on my Buddha belly!
he swabbed me for GBS, but didnt check me for any dilatation....i havent really had any "real" contractions to speak of (just braxton hicks that i can palpate with my hand but not really feel) so i didnt think it would be worth it for him to check me....just for him to tell me i was closed/long/and high...so next time is when he will start checking me!
oh, and dr p says "your weight made a nice big jump. that makes me happy"...and i look (glare?)at him...im not sure if a "nice big jump" in weight is something to make me (a preggo) happy...but then he explains that i hadnt gained a lot of weight and that it was concerning him (i have no clue how much i have gained..i purposely look away from the scale. i dont want to become obsessed with my rising weight)...but now, hes not concerned at all! and that i am "right on with my weight gain" as well as everything else. that i have had "the perfect pregnancy"....then i smile, and thank him....and start dreaming happy thoughts about all the holiday foods and treats i have indulged in since thanksgiving!

side note...baby has hiccups as i sit here and type! how fun!

all is still good....if i went into labor now, dr p wouldnt try to stop me...but id really like baby to cook a little longer...

hunky hubby and fantastic friend moved the furniture around yesterday! (can i get a yahoo!), so now i have to start putting everything back (computer desk back together, yada yada), finding places for all the new baby stuff, and getting baby's room ready!
let the organization begin! wish me luck!
"ive been a blogging slacker.....i do have getting caught up on my "to do" list...i promise!

hope you all have a great rest of the week....
must get off here and start organizing....

Only one more month, holy cow! No wonder the nesting urge has hit so strong!

Sounds like everything is right on target! You've done so well Jenn! I'm sure the delivery will go smoothly too!

Happy New Year to you and hunky hubby. This is gonna be one of your best ever!

Take care and talk to you soon.

1 month, eh? That is so awesome! I am very excited for you and can't wait to find out if it is a boy or girl...I am sure that you can't wait! We didn't find out with our first (Katie) and it was so fun. Cherish these last few weeks. You will miss the baby inside....but you will get over that quickly. God Bless you all!!!! Miss you!

First of all congratulations on your pregnancy!!!! Yay!
It sounds like dr. Keller was a great choice for you guys.
My husband and I actually saw dr. Ahlering at the Sher clinic. He was really a nice and good dr. also.
I'll have to start following your blog so I can watch you grow. Its so exciting. Being pregnant is the most amazing experience. I hope you enjoy it to its fullest. :)
