39 Weeks with Our Caboose

I honestly did not think I would make it to 39 weeks, but we did!!!

HB: 135

BP: 110/72

Fundal Height: 38 still

Weight Gain: Zero, humph

Progress: We will not know until baby is here or 41 Weeks

Contractions: I have had a LOT of braxton hicks contractions and even some real ones but so far no pattern WHEW!

Prayer Request: Please pray God would show us grace in the form of protection from illness as we wait for the baby to arrive any day. We pray that we would be healthy for the arrival. As many of you may know, we have had a tough run since August with illnesses.

Blythe Videos

Blythe seriously says and does some Hilarious things these days. The big kids are constantly asking her to say stuff and cracking up at her......which just keeps her doing it more! It's so fun!

Blythe thinks bananas are mmmmm

Oh my she's funny these days......she tries to be a comedian when she's done eating dinner every night. She has quite a captive audience too!

Easter 2016

Matthew played in the band Easter morning so we had to do pictures a bit in piecemeal, but that is just fine...add them all up and it is the whole crew! Oh and......Easter Bunny came while we were at church LOL

The full festivities including dinner with friends Saturday evening followed by an indoor egg hunt and egg dying. They have four children also, so it is always chaos....but FUN chaos. The kids LOVED the indoor egg hunt!

Sunday we went to church, the Easter bunny came and we did a short little hunt with the neighbors. OH and we PLAY OUTSIDE....which is the greatest thing EVER here!

Caleb adores her :)

One day we will get a picture with everyone smiling AND looking

38 Weeks with Caboose

38 WEEKS! I cannot believe how fast this pregnancy has flown by...in 3.5 weeks or less we will have the final biological addition to our family (or that is OUR plan at least). We are hopeful caboose stays nice and cozy like the others until at least the due date. I have a feeling that this baby wont be as big as the others...I guess with three other kiddos running around plus working out, you just do not have as much time to notice you are hungry and you burn more calories! I have not gained as much weight as I did with the other pregnancies :)

BP: 120...BOY???!!!!
Fundal Height: 37 (I am usually shrinking by now, so this is interesting)
Fetal Position: ROA (Right Occiput Anterior); not totally ideal but baby can still spin at delivery or before. Apparently LEFT Occiput Anterior is most ideal. Not Worried.
BP: Within normal Range
Weight: Gained one pound!
Me: Doing pretty good. More sore this go round, but its the fourth and it is to be expected.
Gender: Heartbeat says boy, the way I am carrying looks more like Blythe now.....WHO KNOWS!
