37 Week Dr Appt

Wow, another weekend has come and gone for us. Where is all of this time going? Pat and I had a very successful weekend! I am a big fan of “to-do” lists, and we were able to check off quite a few things on our list. Pat and I ran a few last minute errands, packed the diaper bag, packed the hospital bag, finished cleaning the house, unpacked some last minute items in the nursery, made some meals to freeze, and managed to flop ourselves on the couch to catch a few shows we missed out on watching last week. It was an eventful weekend, but we had such a good time doing it all. Can you picture Pat hiding in the house testing the baby monitor while I am in the living room watching TV and listening to his whispers? I can already tell that he is going to have a blast playing with all of the baby toys!

Yesterday we had our very last ultrasound at Children’s Hospital! We made sure to tell the tech that we didn’t know the sex of the baby hoping that she wouldn’t slip up at all. She was awesome and did a great job referring to this baby as “kid!” She did make a comment on how active our little one is – hmmm, who does he/she get that from???? We got quite a bit of information on Baby Froh yesterday:

Weight – 6lbs 4oz
Heartbeat – 167bpm
Head – 9.2cm (That is going to be a tight squeeze!!)
Belly – 10.5cm
40th percentile for weight
Twinkie/No Twinkie? – We are unsure; we turned our head when she measured the legs!
Lodged under right rib – a baby butt
Lodged under left rib – baby feet
Head – VERY low and in place

It was fun to see our little one moving all over the place in there!!! Before we know it, that little peanut will be in our arms moving all over the place! My blood specialist told us yesterday that he wants the baby out at 38 weeks. . . ..well folks, that is next week! Tomorrow we have an appointment scheduled with our OB to determine the official induction date! A part of me wants to bump the appointment up earlier in the day because I am so excited . . . . .but I wont!!

Tonight’s activity – installation of the car seat at the Wauwatosa Fire Department! I am sure that we will drive around for a little bit in shock that there is a BABY CAR SEAT in our vehicle! Just one more thing getting us closer to D-Day!
We will be posting our induction information as soon we know it on Wednesday. . . .stay tuned!

Thank you for all of the continuous love and support – we REALLY appreciate it!
