My baby shower

I am a week behind on this post, but I wanted to post a few pictures of the baby shower the ladies at church had for me last Sunday afternoon. Due to the time of year and everyone's busy schedules they decided to just have a reception after morning service and it turned out very nice. We had cookies, candies, and punch. I got some cute little girl outfits and lots of pink. I also got my double stroller that I really wanted. I am very thankful to have such a great church! Here are a few pictures of the shower.

My Last Doctor's Appointment

Last Wednesday I went to my doctor's appointment and since I was 36 weeks, by his calculations, I started checking me and I was told that I was not dilated or anything even though I have been having Braxton-Hicks contractions for weeks. I did get to finally set my C-section date. On December 29th at 8 am, unless something would happen before then, our little girl will be here. Due to this, this appointment was my last office visit until after the baby is born. We are anxiously awaiting this day and will post again soon after.

Another Appointment

Yesterday I had another appointment. It was not very exciting and only lasted about 20 minutes from the time I walked in until I was scheduling my next appointment. I weighed in at a pound less than two weeks ago. I thought this was pretty good since I enjoyed four Thanksgiving dinners and much fast food since then. I have heard that when you start losing weight the baby is soon to follow so we will see. We have one more trip to Indy planned for tomorrow evening and then we will be spending some time close to home and just waiting. I go back to the doctor on the 17th and then every week after until the c-section which we are hoping will be before the end of the year. The doc said we would see when he starts checking me when he will do the c-section. Baby Beka is doing well and still causing some Braxton-Hicks contractions on a daily basis. She is also moving less, but is still more active than I remember Gabe being. I will keep you posted of any changes.
