We started off the day by getting an email from our awesome maternity photographer, Lisa Woods, saying she posted a sneak peek of our session to her blog. We had SO MUCH fun with her last night, and had been anxiously waiting to see some of the pics.. but we never could have imagined how INCREDIBLE the pictures would turn out. She is a friggin' ROCK. STAR. The pictures are phenomenal. Thanks to our wonderful friend Katie for helping set up this shoot with Lisa, and for making me pretty with the makeup and hair! And a HUGE thanks to Lisa for taking time out of her day to make our day (our week, our pregnancy) so wonderful. Lisa, your kindness and generosity truly touches my heart. We can't thank you enough for what you have done/are doing for the two (er, three) of us.
Our sneak peek can be found here, and I will post more to the blog once we get the CD.
After staring at our photos for a while, we headed off to our 36 week OB check.
I was weighed and SO HAPPY to see that I only gained 2 lbs since the appt 2 weeks ago. Right on par! WOOHOO.
Did the pee-in-the-cup bit that has become like an acrobatic feat these days.. all was well.
Great BP, though she didn't tell me this week what it was.. but "great" is enough info for me.
Doc came in and measured my fundal height - perfect 36.
Listened to Camy's heart on the doppler, beautiful 140's.. and he mentioned how much a mover she is. Uh, yup -- she never stops anymore.
Then came the fun stuff.. the GBS test and the internal.
GBS test wasn't what I would call fun, but it wasn't as bad as some have made it sound.
The internal was terribly uncomfortable but, BUT... good news!!!
We are 1cm dilated, 50% effaced, and while he was in there (sorry), he said "... aaaand there's her head...".
To which Andy and I both responded "Her head? Huh?".
"Yep, I am touching her head. She's veeery low. That's good news."
EEEP!!
Doc-Man reminded us that it could mean absolutely nothing.. we could walk around this way for weeks. But it is still quite a comfort to know that *something* is happening. Something is better than nothing, right?
Guess we better pack our bags. Who knows what could happen from here... here's to continued progress!
After our appointment we headed down to Babies R Us and got the last of what we think we'll need for Baby Girl. YAY!
What a wonderful, wonderful day!!!!
Camryn, we are so excited, Sweet Girl. Things are coming together so nicely in our preparations for you.. and we cannot wait to have you home. All we need is you. The nursery is not complete without you. Our home is not complete without you. Our little family.. to be complete, all we need is you.
Now here's my request, Camy.. stay in there at least a week or two more. Let your little body put on a little bit more baby fat, let your lungs mature more... and let's agree to have your debut fall somewhere after the 18th of August but before September 1st. Preferably on Aug 27th. Does that work for you? Your daddy thinks you'll be here on the 27th.. I think that sounds like the perfect birth date for a baby as sweet as yourself. :)
We love you, Little One.
Keep growing. Keep dancing. Keep making us smile.
