38 Weeks!

Big Baby Sawyer is very low!!



39 weeks, soo close!


SOOOO CLOSE!!! There is not much to update on, we went to the doctor at 37 weeks and I was not dilated. Then at 38 weeks we did not get checked because I had no contractions or other action! We go again this week (39 weeks) on Thursday, but I am hoping he will be here before then! We are soooooo ready for him to come! It is very uncomfortable these days! He was very active on New Years Eve, so we had fun watching my tummy move all day!!
Like I said before, the nursery and house are all ready for the little man to come home! We are excited, and we will let everyone know as soon as the action starts! Love and miss you all!

36 Weeks!

SO CUTE!!! LOOK AT HIS LITTLE FACE!! (He finally let us peak!)



2D Shot of his head!!! This week he weighs almost 7lbs!



Tom and I at his company Christmas party!



Me before the party and Sawyer is very low!


So we made it to 36 weeks! At 32 weeks the ultrasound showed that Sawyer was frank breech and we already scheduled the C-Section for January 4Th. Tom and I were finally mentally prepared for this, and guess what....At this ultrasound he flipped! Everyone was surprised because no one thought there would be enough room for him to get turned all the way around! But he proved us all wrong! So we are back to the vaginal birth we planned on from the start! I am so excited, it is so much better for the baby and also my mom and Tom get to be in the room with me!
Other then the flip, there is not much to tell! I am very uncomfortable and waddle everywhere! Some days I just want him to come out, but I know it is best to let him cook as long as possible! I have six more shifts at work! My final day on January 1st, if I last that long!
Tom and I have the house and car cleaned, hospital bags are packed, all the bedrooms are finished, and we are putting the car seat in this weekend! We will not be posting anything on facebook until after the birth, we don't feel it is necessary, but we do have a phone list in plan and from there the word can be spread around to family and friends!
So now the waiting game starts! Everyone keep your phones near you, because it could happen at any time!!! Love and miss you all!!!

34 weeks!

Only 6 more weeks left, and I can not wait!!! Life is getting hard, I can see my toes but I can't touch them! And the best is when something is in the bottom on the washer or on the floor, I can't reach it because my belly is so big! haha I am still working 12 hour days, and plan on sticking that out until the end! My co-workers have been great though, giving me the little kids which is alot less weight to move around!
Tom and I got the nursery done, and I think it is the best ever! Also I loaded more pictures of our house, that is finally done, on facebook, so if you get time check it out! This coming weekend we are packing the hospital bag, just so everything is ready at any time!
Sawyer is moving all the time, especially at night! He seems to think that I am human punching bag! We can actually see his fist move all round my stomach, so that has caused a few good laughs! Tom is doing great with helping me! I don't know what I would do without him, I mean getting off the couch or getting out of bed is a chore these days! He is the best!
Sawyer is still breech as far as we know. He is actually "frank breech", which means he is butt first and his feet are up by his ears/head! So the plan for a c-section is still on. But we will have the final call by the doctor after the 36 week ultrasound!
It is dinner time, Tom and I love and miss you all! Next post will be around 36 weeks after the final ultrasound!

32 Weeks!

Tom wanted a close up, so you could see how big Sawyer and I are getting!



Big belly!!!



This is a 3D of his face and he has one finger up!!



This is shot of his nose and lips! The angle is right up his nose! (The big debate does he have Tom's or Leah's nose??)



Another 3D of his face with his hand up by his eyes!!!! He is camera shy!



2D of his face, so cute!!!



This is my favorite picture, he is getting big! Look at those chubby cheeks!!! Love it!

So it looks like baby Sawyer is going to be just as stubborn as his mom and dad! Three weeks ago at the last ultrasound he was headfirst and ready to go, today we went for your 32 weeks ultrasound and he has flipped. Yes he is breech! So hopefully in the next weeks he will flip again, and we can try to do this the right way! If not Tom and I are okay and educated on C-sections. We have finished our labor and delivery classes as well as breastfeeding. We only have one session left, and that is newborn care and first bath!
The ultrasound today showed that Sawyer is in the 51 percentile for his age! So that is good, we are right one track. According to their calculations he is weighing in at 4lbs 10oz! So it looks like we will have a chunk on our hands! But we will not know the real weight until his birthday!
The girls at work just threw me a baby shower this past weekend, and it was great! We got lots of new stuff including toys, blankets, and diaper bags! We have one more to go, Tom’s office is throwing us one this Saturday! We are so excited! So after this weekend we can go and finish our final shopping and get the nursery done! Don’t worry as soon as it is complete we will have pictures up!!!
Life is getting harder, but lucky I have Tom to help me out! I cannot bend over and pick things up anymore. So that has lead to a lot of laughs! Also I am back to eating like I did the first trimester. ALL THE TIME!!! I just cannot stay full for long, because he is rapidly growing again! ☺ We go to the OBGYN on Monday at 8:45 for your check up, and our next and last ultrasound is December 16th at 9:00am! So we will keep you updated!
Love and miss you all, getting soooooooooooooooo excited!

30 Weeks!

Our friends throw a Halloween party every year, and this year it was movie couples! What else do you go as almost 8 months pregnant, Juno and Bleeker!!!


Only 10 more weeks left (well maybe less if he comes early)!!! I had a doctors appointment today, and everything looked great! I do NOT have gestational diabetes, which is awesome news because we were all pretty sure I did! My tummy is measuring exactly 30 weeks and his heart rate today was 156! Our next appointment is in two weeks, and the ultrasound is on the 18Th! We can not wait to see him again! As you can see in the picture below I am getting very big. Only 10 weeks left and I have never been so tired in life!!! But that is part of it, and I am sooooooo craving some sushi and other raw seafood! Not much longer! The nursery is coming along, we are not going to post pics of the whole room until after the last two showers, so then everyone can see the finished project! Tom and I watch my belly move every night, and a few nights ago we saw a whole body part move across my belly, it was pretty funny! We also started our classes, and we are learning alot from them. Even though I am a peds nurse, the whole maternity world is a new one to me! Alright I am going to take a nap, love and miss you all!!!

28 Weeks!

This is his head, that is getting big as well!!!

I can not wait to meet him!!!!

We have hit 7 months, and I am feeling pretty good! I am starting to lose energy by the end of the day, but I guess that is what happens when you are hauling around a few extra pounds! We had our doctors appointment and ultrasound this week, and everything is looking okay! I go this week for final gestational diabetes testing, so I will keep you all updated on that! The ultrasound was awesome, he is getting so big! He is suppose to be around 2 pounds and he is measuring 3 pounds 3 ounces! So I think we are going to have a big boy on our hands! He might not be in newborn clothes for long!! The ultrasound also showed very very long legs!!! But everything else looked great; the heart, brain, kidneys, and everything else are as healthy as can be!!! Our next ultrasound will be at 32 weeks and our next doctors appointment is in two weeks! Since I am in my 3rd trimester I will be going every two weeks now! We have started to work on the nursery, the changing table/dresser is all put together and Tom hopes to get the crib up and going this week! I have washed all the clothes, blankets, bath stuff and bedding in Dreft, so it is all ready for the big day! We have two more showers we are looking forward too! The girls from work are throwing me one on the Nov. 14Th and then Toms office is throwing us one on Nov. 20Th! I cant wait, we are so thankful for every one's love and support! More to come in the next few weeks, love and miss ya all!!!

*Don't for get if you click on the pictures they enlarge!!!! *

26 Weeks!!

This is how many test we took, because we wanted to make sure I was really pregnant! This is to funny!!! HAHA!!!!

We are past the 6 month mark! I can not believe he will be here in less then 3 months! We are getting sooooo excited! I am heading home for my shower in Warsaw this week! It will be great to see my family and friends, because we are not sure when we will be home again (because I am not flying with an infant! :) !! I am feeling pretty good these days! At night time is when it becomes very uncomfortable, because my stomach gets so big at night! I am still carrying him low and he loves to sit on my bladder all day! :) Tom gets to feel him move more and more! I am so excited I get to share that with him now! So things are going well, and we will continue to keep everyone updated! The next post will be at 28 weeks after our appointment and ultrasound!! Hope everyone is doing well, love and miss you all!
