5 weeks to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cant believe we are 5 weeks away (as of tomorrow) yes that's right tomorrow we are officially 34 weeks. We are really in the home stretch here. This weekend is my Buffalo shower and my mom is coming into town. She will help me wash things and get things organized and put away properly. People are commenting on how big I am getting. Baby Paige is really active in there rolling, kicking, and moving. I am so tired and sore all the time it is really unbelievable. The stress of carrying an extra 45 pounds is really taking a toll on my body. But I will take all the stress and discomfort if it means baby Paige comes out healthy and happy. My hormones seem to really be kicking up lately. This weekend was a rough one not really sure why? I booked daycare for Paige at Brierwood daycare for Monday, Thursday & Friday. So happy that is booked and I don't have to worry about it anymore. They seem really nice and I know Paige will fit in perfectly:)
We have an appointment with Dr. Fraas Wednesday and I plan to ask a bunch of questions about the c-section, birth control after Paige comes, etc...

We love you Paige and cant wait to meet you:)
Grow big and strong for Mommy & Daddy!!!

32 Weeks BIG NEWS!!! WE HAVE A BIRTHDAY

Well week 32 turned out to be an informative week. We started off with a doctor appointment on Tuesday and were surprised to hear they wanted to book our c-section now. So we are officially booked on 3/3/09 at 9am. I will need to be there at 7am and can not eat or drink after midnight the night before. I CAN NOT BELIEVE WE HAVE A BIRTHDAY!!! We are so excited we cant stand it. The c-section is with Dr. Baronski which we have not seen. We will see her at our 37 week appointment.

I had an appointment with Dr. White booked for Friday but we changed it to Thursday due to bad weather. Of course I got the nurse which is my least favorite. Paige was not cooperating with us either. First she had the hiccups and then right as they were about to do the 4D sono she turned facing inward and we could not get the shot. Otherwise everything else looked really good. She weight a whopping 5 LBS. and is now in the 89% percentale for length. (wonder how she takes after) The nurse said I might go early because she is SO BIG:)

It has been snowing so hard here lately and I am so ready for Spring, too bad we have a few more months of snow before we can even think about Spring. DH put together the swing today and I just cant wait for Paige to arrive!!!


We love you Paige keep growing big and strong for Mommy & Daddy (but not too big and strong as you are really starting to hurt Mommy with those movements and kicks:)

31 Weeks (9 weeks to go) ONLY 8 MORE WEEKS OF WORK!!!

I have not been keeping up with my updates!!!

Well here we are, its already 2009. 2009 is the year of Paige and I am so excited. I cant believe we are 2 months away from the arrival of Paige. Christmas and New Years was so nice and relaxing. I needed some time off from work to relax and get things in order for Paige. The nursery looks amazing. I have all the bedding washed and set up. My Rhinebeck shower was beautiful. I was so touched my mom went to so much trouble and really made the shower extra special. I took many pictures and we had 20 guests. I got beautiful gifts. Michele bought so many outfits from Gap I don't even know where to start LOL.
Next week we have a follow up with the OBGYN as well as a growth scan with Dr. White. I am really looking forward to seeing Paige again. I know she is still breech as I can feel her now and distinguish where her head is. It's funny when she is active, I can put my hand on my belly and she will eventually move towards my hand. That makes me feel so special, like she knows her momma's touch. I cant wait to meet her.

We love you Paige, please continue to grow big and strong......

28 Weeks (12 weeks to go)

Well we have made it through another exciting week.

Monday was our OB appointment with Dr. Trivette. We had a very quick "growth scan" which showed Paige is still doing well. She was measuring 2lbs 130z. and at the 60% for growth. Her arms and legs are VERY LONG just like Daddy. We also went for our glucose test (yet to hear the results) I am hoping and praying I pass this one as if I don't I will need to go back and take a 3 hour test.

Paige is still breech so the doctor said we will check her again at 36 weeks. If she is still breech we will schedule a c-section for week 39. This did bum me out at first but now I am finding the bright spots. (no long labor, no stitches down there etc.....)

Today was our growth scan with Dr. White

Cervix is holding strong at 4.50cm and Paige again looked really good. She is weighing in at 3lbs. and again long and ahead of schedule. Our favorite nurse did the sono and she put the 3D on and gave us amazing pictures. I am going to try and post one on this website. We go back at 32 weeks for another growth scan. They also gave me a movement chart I need to fill out.

We love you Paige, and can not wait to meet you:)

27 Weeks (13 to go)

Another week down. This week has been pretty good. I am starting to get really tired again and sore all over. My legs, feet, and back are in constant pain at this point. Again all worth it when we finally see the end result. This Saturday we have our birthing class from 9-5 at the hospital where we will deliver. I am looking forward to the class so I can get an idea of what to expect. I dont think it has hit me yet that I need acutally deliver Paige. Cant she stay in there forever?

Next week is a big week. Monday we have a non-stress test, growth scan, and gluclose blood work. Friday we have a cervix check and growth scan with Dr. White. I cant wait to see how much Paige has grown and how much she weighs.

Grow big and strong little one, we love you:)

26 weeks (14 weeks to go!!!)

Lets see this week we had a check up with Dr. Allen. She was much more personable which made me happy. Gained 7 more pounds, uterus looks good, healthy 147 hb. I really cant believe how quickly the weeks are going by now. Next week will be quiet as we have no appointments but the following week we will do glucose blood work, 2 sonos/growth scans, and a cervix check. Christmas is 3 weeks away and i am really looking forward to some time off and visiting with my family. We got a few more gifts.......DJ booth from Aunt Bobbie and a generous check from Aunt Kathy in GA. Looking forward to my shower and seeing all the wonderful gifts Paige will get. I will write next week.

We love you Paige, please grow big and strong

Mommy:)

25 Weeks/Thanksgiving

Another week down (just 15 to go)!!!!!
This week again was pretty uneventful which is always a good thing. I feel tired, sore, ligament pain etc......... But I will take all the pain if it means Paige is growing big and strong. This week is Thanksgiving and that means I get tomorrow and Friday off which I am really looking forward too. How many things we have this year to give thanks for!!!! Every year we say that around the dinner table but this year I feel it is just SO true.

Next week we will have another doctors appointment with Dr. Allen and we will get to hear her heartbeat. This is always something that puts a smile on my face. Starting next week we will see the OB every 2 weeks vs. once a month. We are getting there slowly but surely. I have said from day 1 that if we can just get through the holidays Paige will be here before we know it. Tomorrow officially kicks off the holiday season so I am really looking forward to it!!!!

Grow big and strong Paige, we love you!!!!!
