Still nothing going on here...a few contractions here and there, but that's about it. Last Thursday doc said still not dialated or effaced...bummer! Hopefully things will be different this week! Come on baby Lucas....it's time to come out!

Earlier in the week (Monday) we had an ultrasound to see how big baby Lucas is getting. He measured about 6lbs 9 oz (give or take a lb). Not too big, but then again this was beginning of week 37 so he still had growing to do by the end of the week. So now we figure he will be close to 7 lbs (we are also leaning more towards the "give a pound" according to his 3D u/s pix at 30 weeks). Which all means he will be close to 8 1/2 - 9 1/2 lbs if he goes full term, so we are hoping he's at least a week early! Doc didn't mention anything about inducing yesterday, and said my cervix is still firm and thick so we're looking at prob another 2 weeks or so. Not sure whether we're sad or relieved...lol! This is all getting more real to us as each day goes by. And if I don't quit watching A Baby Story and Bringing Home Baby we are all gonna be in trouble! Ha!

So I had my 36 week appointment yesterday and all is well! I am measuring 38 cm, so a lil big, but doc said nothing to be too concenred about. He could feel his head but said he's prob more like at -4 or -5 than -3 or -2. We scheduled an ultrasound for first thing Monday morning so they can do measurments and get a better idea on how large this child is going to be and how much damage he's gonna do to me. Ha! We can't wait! I'm sure I'll have a few 10 lb baby dreams over the weekend! Lol!

The past month has been pretty good. Both doctor's visits went well, belly is measuring right on track! I have gained 31 pounds so far, but the dr.'s don't seem to be worried, so I guess I won't either. We did get the 3D/4D ultrasound on August 9th and it was amazing (as you can see by the great pictures that we got)! About 8 more weeks til we meet our lil man and we can't wait!

Update...I passed my glucose test!!! Woohoo!!! Happy Friday everyone!

7/24/08

So I guess I didn't post anything last month...what a bad mommy I am...nothing exciting happened tho. Now this appointment was much more exciting! I had my glucose test this morning and I think everything went fine...I'll prob find out the results tomorrow. I also got a quick ultrasound so we could see how the baby was laying...he's already head first! Woohoo! What a good little boy! And he's big! I mean, my belly measured right at 28 weeks, but he looks so much bigger than the last time I saw him! Oh! I can't wait to meet him! Trying to talk the hubby into the 3D/4D pix and dvd now too...i can't wait to see him!

Ok, so I'm oficially obsessed with the gender of my baby! Ha! I just went to fortunebaby.com and paid $17.95 for them to work their formula (it's refundable if they're wrong, so what do I have to lose, right?)......and IT'S A BOY!!!

THE RESULTS ARE IN!!!

Intelligender is also sending me another test since I dropped the first one, so I'll be sure to post those results too!

First Appointment and Ultrasound on 2/25/08

I am only about 5 1/2 weeks along at this point so our baby really only looks like a blinking dot at the is point, but it's our blinking dot and we are still very excited! I think we both had tears in ours eyes when we saw it (him/her). Still no morning sickness...let's just hope it stays this way.

Hi there! My name is Jennifer and I'm a first time mom, well, "to be mom". I'm 33 and my husband Todd is 30 (31 4/10). We just got married last September and were originally planning on waiting til August to try but said "Hey, what the heck? Who gets pregnant on the first try anyways"....and here we are. A little surprised, but excited just the same. Our first little bean is due October 18th and we can't wait to meet him or her!

Madame Zaritska's reading

Madame Zaritska, our resident clairvoyant, wants to help you prepare for the arrival of your child. Here she does her best to predict certain aspects of your labor and birth experience.

What she senses for you
The day you deliver, outside will be hot. Your baby will arrive in the morning.

After a labor lasting approximately 3 hours, your child, a girl, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 7 pounds, 12 ounces, and will be 19-1/2 inches long. This child will have hazel eyes and some blond hair.

Baby Gender Predictor

You won't need to try any secret recipes to bring on labor. Have your emergency numbers ready. Don't wait until the last minute to get your nursery ready. We predict your baby will come 1-2 weeks early. Your baby will most likely be born in the morning. Justmommies predicts that your baby will weigh approximately 7.5 pounds and that your labor will be about 13 hours long.
