It is looking like a March baby...

As of today I am 38 weeks and 3 days. I was kinda hoping Laney would be early and be a February baby, because then we could share the same birth month. Unless I went into labor today, and had a very short labor it is looking like she will be a March baby for sure.

I had an appointment yesterday, and Laney is still growing healthy and strong. Her heart rate was a steady 136, and she is still head down. The most popular questions I get is how big is your baby now, so I asked my doctor if she could estimate. Well she felt around for a moment. Felt Laney's head and bottom, and then within seconds said, I would say about 7.5 pounds. She said that is just a very rough estimate though. Jordan and I were talking,  and we think it  is weird to think there is a 7.5 pound baby in my tummy!!! We still think of her looking like an alien, like when they are just a few weeks  old. It is just so hard to imagine such a beautiful creation is waiting in there to meet her mommy and daddy!

My doctor didn't check to see if I have made any progress, because I haven't been having very many contractions and I have an appointment on Tuesday. So next Tuesday, we will see if I am dilated at all. Progress wise, I can tell Laney is dropping. I feel a lot more pressure down there, and I am starting to get sore. I have had a wonderful pregnancy, I have been pretty comfortable the whole time, and even now I am still feeling pretty comfortable. I have not hit a miserable stage yet. Thank you Jesus!!! Also, I have been having contractions on and off, they mostly come when I am moving around, but they are not consistent at all. 

As for work I have everything done that needs to be done! My report cards are finished, the new teacher has all the notes I created for her, and I had parent conferences last week. So I still have one week of work left, my last day is next Friday the 6th. We will see if I make it that far!! As long as my water does not break at school I don't mind working :) It keeps me busy, because otherwise the time goes by SO SLOW! Also, I have a lot more contractions when I am working... so I will update you on Tuesday after my next appointment, unless something happens before then. 

Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we are so close to labor/delivery and entering the stage of parenthood!!!!
