Hi Everyone,
The countdown is on now that were nearing the end of April...we are at 37 weeks!
Grandma Michele flew out from Ohio to attend the baby shower Grandma Vicki had for us. What a whirlwind trip that was; flying in Thursday to leave on Sunday morning. She's a trooper! We set her up in Marly's bedroom. How nice it was to be able to show her all we had done around here in preparation.
We were very lucky to have two baby showers thrown for us. My mom's was on April 12th and then my co-workers held one on April 19th. Both were a lot of fun and reminded us how lucky we are to have such a caring group of people in our lives. Thank you again to everyone involved!!! I must say it was most fun sharing the 90 degree weekend with you all. :)
The appointments have been weekly this month. The doctor seems to think I should be on target with the due date based on her findings. :) We are 70% effaced so there is progress~ We had our last ultrasound today to confirm she is head down so we are pleased with that! The tech was a brat though. When I asked if she could tell me what Marly weighs she said that was a entirely different ultrasound and that it takes longer. (I was the only appointment that hour) So much for getting a cute new picture of her to post and finding out the weight! Based on my stomach measurements though, the doctor thinks she will be just over 7lbs.
Unfortunately the doctor told me since I am working full time I can no longer take walks. My blood pressure was higher than she liked so she wants me to start taking it easy to avoid going on bed rest. She wants me to take a few weeks off work, but I told her I'd like to keep on working so long as my blood pressure cooperates. So, we will take it week by week and I will try my best to not let my customer's get me all riled up. :)
Here are a few shower shots. The pink dress was my mom's shower and the green version was my work shower. I saved a special present from Ohio for Drew to open and as you can see he couldn't wait for Marly to put the Ohio State cheerleader bloomers on. :) I threw in one of Miles and my sister Sophie..such cuties!!!
Enjoy~
Sarah, Drew, Miles & Marly :)
