37 Weeks!!! He's almost here!

Oh my goodness how the time has flown by!  I can't believe we are almost there, just two more weeks and little Isaac will be here! I have had a hard time really believing we would get here again in one piece but we have. I had another check up today with my ob as well as my regular NST (non-stress test).  Dr. J says I am doing great, happy with my blood pressure and says that Isaac is growing right on schedule, about 6 1/2 pounds approximately. So if things continue as they have been Isaac will "probably" be in the 8-9 pound range when he is born. Keeping in mind that his big brother was born at almost 41 weeks and Isaac will be born at 39 so he is most likely going to be smaller than Ethan. But you never know, he could surprise us ;) My next and final prenatal OB appointment will be Monday the 20th. That is the last one before Isaac's birthday!

 I am in full blown "nesting" mode again and have been going through the nursery again, rewashing clothes organizing and figuring out where the new clothes will go and what exactly I might need to replace or change out before Isaac arrives.  We are using most of Ethan's clothes for his little brother, we would have done that if he was here, they will be the nicest "hand me downs" any kid has ever worn!  Today I tackled some of the nursery closet as well, trying to figure out where things should go and moving the mini crib into our room.  Even then there were changes because we have new bedroom furniture that we got this year that takes up more corner space than before. 
So many things to think about, to "try" and plan for and yet I know some things will simply have to wait until Isaac is home with us, I can't believe I am really saying that, Isaac will be coming home with us.  He really will.  He is a happy healthy baby who is constantly reassuring his Mommy and Daddy that he is doing well with his acrobatics in my tummy.  We are officially in count down mode, 14 days to go. I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!

31 Weeks! Oh my Goodness!

Oh my goodness, how time has flown by!  I can't believe we are almost there, only 8 more weeks before our baby boy arrives!  We just had a check up with my OB yesterday and everything is going perfectly. We are officially on the schedule for June 28th at 9am.  WOW!  Part of me is still amazed that we are here, that we have come this far.  I am so thankful and amazed by all we have been blessed with on this journey.  Amazing new friends in our support group of wonderful BLM mommies that I adore and so much love and prayer from everyone we know! 

We also had our repeat 3D appointment yesterday to try and get some better face pics so I wanted to share them with you as well.  They are so awesome, I love to stare at them in amazement!  Just 8 more short weeks and he will be here to love and cuddle and squeeze and snuggle, I can hardly stand it! Counting down the weeks and days until I can hold you sweet boy, I love you!

Mommy!

In this picture he is trying to put his toe in his mouth!






Look at those huge lips! I can't wait to kiss them!



This last pic he has his foot totally covering his face, little stinker!
