Update

Well, it's been a while since I blogged so I thought I'd update!! I am officially FULL TERM today!!!! Hooray! On Tues. I had my dr. appt/ultrasound and BOY did we get a shock. The u/s tech said that he weighs 9lbs 5oz as of that day!! Then the doc said she estimates that he'll weigh 10lbs at birth...WHAT?!?!?! So we are seriously looking into the scheduled c-section option, because:
1. That simply sounds painful. Period. I was preparing myself for a normal sized baby coming out the normal way, but 10lbs?? Ouch.
2. The doc is worried about his shoulders getting stuck in my pelvic region. Ouch, again.
3. The doc said there is a 50% chance we'll end up with a c-section anyway.
4. If it was scheduled, I wouldn't have to wait till my due date (July 18). Sounds like we could do it anytime after my next ultrasound, which is not this Tues but next.
So, we're praying and talking about it. The main thing to me is that Caleb gets here SAFELY. I have heard that u/s measurements can be off up to a pound or so, so there is a possibility he's not that big, but we need to prepare ourselves for it being the case.
In other news, Bryan got the ceiling fan up in the nursery last night!! Woo hoo!! I will take pics later but I must say I was VERY impressed...it was quite the project. Also, I got to go swimming at a teacher friend's house yesterday and it was heavenly....it's the only time I've felt light in 9 months! Aaahh....I could get used to that!

Nesting

I think I'm officially nesting. I have been washing/drying/organizing Caleb's clothes like crazy the past few days....why I feel the need to make sure his 9-12 month clothes are washed and hung up before he's even born is beyond me. But our nursery is really coming along! We have some more things to hang up, we need to get some shelves for his books and knick knacks, and are thinking about installing a ceiling fan. Now if only my feet would stop swelling, I'd be able to go run some errands without seriously considering a wheelchair to get around the store!

Movement and A Fun Day

Wow, I feel Caleb kicking/moving ALL the time lately!! It's so awesome! Just had to share...I can actually SEE my belly moving, it's incredible.
Today we went to the Central Baptist Maternity Day/Baby Shower...it was CRAZY--so many pregnant women in one place!-- but we got a lot of free stuff. We registered to win prizes but, of course, won nothing! :( Some lucky girl won a $2700 nursery set (crib, changing table, glider, dresser, etc.) !! WOW! What I really hoped we'd win was the Graco Sweetpeace Glider/Swing...it's so neat, but kinda expensive...we didn't win it, although for a split second I thought we did because the girl who DID win it's first name was Sarah. Bummer!
We also took a tour of the maternity floor at CB...we haven't decided yet where I'm going to deliver-at CB or St. Joe East, but I really liked the look of CB today. Plus, they come around and do free manicures/pedicures for you! How cool is that?
I'm also stressing a little about pediatricians. Everyone keeps asking us if we've chosen one yet, and we haven't. I'm trying to gather recommendations from people I know and trust and then go from there. So many important decisions!!
Then, tonight Bryan stenciled Caleb's verse on the nursery wall. It is Numbers 14:24, condensed and in the Message version. I'll post pics once it's painted, but so far it looks AWESOME. I'm going to cry when we have to paint over it when we move!
Then tonight, I've been grading papers in preparation for entering grades for mideterm. Hard to believe we're halfway through the last quarter of school!! WOW!!!
