Doctor Update-Baby Cade

Well, I went to the doctor yesterday. I've started my weekly appointments, so it really seems close now! Here are the details:

-I am 35 weeks, measuring 37 weeks....that means that I am measuring two weeks bigger. That doesn't change my due date, just means the baby is possibly two weeks bigger than a "normal" baby. He wanted to do a sonogram yesterday to check on the baby's size, but the sono tech was busy, so I will get one on Wednesday before my next appointment. Jace was a big baby, so there is a possibility this one is big too! Does that mean he'll induce?....I have NO idea. I'm not holding my breath on that one!

-Baby's heartbeat was 140ish.....he said that sounds great!

-I am 1 cm dilated. He said that was normal given this was my second baby. He said your body starts to get ready earlier with the second because it already knows what to do.

-My blood pressure was 132/84. Normal is 120's/70's. They don't consider you for having high blood pressure until the top number is over 140 and/or the bottom number is over 90. My blood pressure didn't rise with Jace until the end of the 36th week. I'm not swelling as bad as I was last time either!

Jace is doing great! Hopefully he is ready for his life to change in the next couple of weeks. He woke up with a little bit of a temp. this morning, but he is acting normal.

We finally put up the crib and dresser and painted the room. My dad and his friend put up new doors for the closet and chair rail in the room (that is what Jeremy and I asked for for Christmas). I can't believe how those two things can make a room look so much better!!



Jace helping put together the crib. It's the same one that Jace has! It's one of those that turns into a toddler bed, day bed, and then full sized bed. Hopefully it lasts that long!!




Don't those new doors look good?!




I still have to put up the curtains, wall decorations and some finishing touches, but Cade isn't going to be sleeping in it any time soon, so I don't feel like I have to rush on the small things!






A couple of weeks ago, we went to the park with a couple of friends for some fun and a picnic. I was surprised how independent Jace was!

Jace loved sliding down the slide with his friend Matthew.

I love Cade's room. It does not even look like the same room. I also love the pattern u chose for the bedding. I can't believe we will get to meet Cade in just a weeks. Jace will be a great big brother with Cade. I love the pictures from the park. His workout/warm up outfit is so cute. Jace does look so much older and more independent in the pics. Thanks for sharing. Love ya bunches!
