37 weeks
Just got back from my weekly checkup and everything is looking good. He's about 6 1/2 pounds and measuring well. The doctor gave me the option of checking my cervix but I declined so I'm not sure if I've dilated or effaced or anything down there. I kinda feel like this guy is not coming for a while yet so why go through the miserable vag exam if it won't make anything go faster. He's wiggly and healthy and I'm huge but my Braxton hicks are still pretty weak and I just don't feel like my body is telling me he'll be here anytime soon. My guess is I'll not have him until after my due date which is ok with me at this point.
In other news, we got the call today that Logan for sure got into the Ben Franklin campus closest to us. His twin boy cousins that are a month young than him are going there too so it will be fun for him to get to see them everyday. Brin was signed up for preschool at the elementary school in our neighborhood but they put her in the wrong program so it didn't end up working out for her to go. I'm going to start a preschool for her starting in September so let me know if you know of anyone interested in finding a preschool for their kid this year. It will be Tuesday's and Thursday's from 9-11 at my house in Mesa.
We had some huge blessings in our family these past few weeks and I want to make sure I record them. First, we got a 401k reimbursement from Blake's last full-time job. It was just a bit more than what I usually make doing day care in a month so it will give us that much longer for blake to find a job before we have to start dipping into our savings. He's been looking for a job for over a month and a half and hasn't had a single call back until last week. He talked to the guy on the phone and it sounded like he'd have to work Sunday evenings. We normally wouldn't consider a job that required him to work on Sunday's but we prayed about it and felt like we needed to do whatever we could in this situation to support our family. He went to the interview and was offered the job and they actually changed the schedule around for him so he won't have to work on Sundays. This is such a huge blessing and I am so thankful that Heavenly Father heard and answered our prayers!

Btw I do separate the paragraphs when I'm writing my posts but for whatever reason is squishes it all together when I publish it from my iPad. Anyone know how to fix it?
ReplyDeleteWhen I update through my phone, I have to go into my computer after and separate the paragraphs. I don't know why it does that.
ReplyDeleteYou are way more patient than I was at 37 weeks. I would have wanted to know - then they would have been getting me hyped up that the baby would probably come that week since I would have been 5 cm or so, and it would be another couple weeks. Good luck with the heat!!
The blessings of tithing :) I thought the plan was for Blake to unload trucks and make the filters? Is this a result of his knee injury?
ReplyDeleteHe still does salt in the mornings but the filter bag thing didn't work out as well as we thought it would. We might try and do it again eventually but for now it would be too much to take on. We'd really need to go to the fabric district in LA and find a supplier to make it worth it because the one we tried to work with in AZ was a joke.
